  1966 Book : Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God

  by binadub in

  somewhat of a turning point occurred for me in 1966 when life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god book was released at the assemblies that year.

  this you may know was the book that calculated 1975 would end 6000 years of humanity on earth possibly leaving the "thousand years" of revelation to complete the 7000-year "creative day.

  " jehovah's witnesses jumped on this implication as "new light" with enormous enthusiasm.

  ... In one way, this little excerpt shows how far we've progressed since those those pre-JWN days; were anything so outlandish to be published today, the WT writer would be taken to task - lampooned -- in a heartbeat -- on this forum and others.

  Draconian Rules for Attending "Special Convention"

  by BluesBrother in

  british dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.

  o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.

  however i have never seen such a crude and rigid set of rules that would apply to their own people going on a trip, at their own expense of course.

  And just who is this Anthony Morris and what distinguishes him from any other mannequin draped in a expensive suit, tie and fancy shoes? What qualifies him as a visionary spiritual leader? There's a pervasive odor emanating from this stinking pile of crap

  are jw ashamed of the ot ?

  by mP in

  1. jw

  whenever i talk to a jw when i rarely see one i bri g up the laws in the ot, like raping of virgins in deut being ok and forced to marry the rapist.

  it seems they just are not aware of these laws or any in depth the history or customs of the ancient jews.

  is the wts ashamed of the ot and the truth about the jews ?.

  hardly.... they're neo-Judaizers... just check out Blondie's WT summaries and you'll see how often she points out their preference for employing OT over NT examples in their study articles.

  Absurd WT Control in April 2012 KM

  yeah in the section on attending the convention, you will find this gem:.

  "therefore, we should give attention to our dress and grooming while in the convention city, including when we check in at the hotel.

  arriving in shorts and a t-shirt would not reflect dignity.".

  Remember how they used to love to parade around their African and other distinctly ethnically diverse delegates in traditional native dress at the large conventions (The 1958 Yankee Stadium, for example)?

  if you've been to the meeting when the letter was read, what was jw reaction????

  just curious if it was just another sign that the end is nearer or did any wake up for a second to realize the corporation is downsizing due to costs..

  The letter spun the change as a corollary to their increased focus on the internet and redesigned website as an outlet for dissemination of their message. They may well come to regret their shepherding the rank and file toward the worldwide web.

  Memorial, why isn't there the post memorial excitement like there is with an assembly

  by insearchoftruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that the assembly is supposed to get the folks all excited about how close we are to the 'end of this system of things' but when my wife attends a memorial, she says nothing at all after it, even though this is supposed to be the most important night of the year for them..

  When an assembly concludes, they ususally say "wasn't that the best one ever?" What can they say after another of the annual 'JUST OBSERVE, those emblems are not for you" ... "another year, still no Armageddon, more partakers, not less?" The whole memorial scene is structured for a letdown.

  hi guys and gals,.

  i've written a new article on what some jehovah's witnesses plan on doing after armageddon strikes.

  i am sure you've been around witnesses that have said something like "oh i'm moving into that house after armageddon.".
