my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.
he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.
he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.
It used to be, that a guilty mate, after a divorce, had to have the wronged party agree to a re-marriage, if the love birds got married anyway, violating wt policies, would find them put quickly on the outside.
There was a very handsome jw male, not even daring to date, (a precursor to marriage in wt think) , because the jealous and clearly hurt, now divorced 'sister' never forgave him, used the clause to cause his pining away.
i stumbled on john 17:1,2 which reads in net version:.
17 when jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward to heaven and said, “father, the time has come.
glorify your son, so that your son may glorify you— 2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him.. if jesus had a close relation with his father, would you not expect to read something like this:.
If Jesus was a JW, as wt claims, ne would have used the name, as done by wt followers now, not the term "father".
You get the sense though, how far we are from the unfathomable difference between a creator of it all and us.
this is my latest video.
it is part 1 of a series that reveals the mathematical trickery watchtower uses to con people about the 1914 doctrine.
it takes a radically different approach to that of carl olof jonsson who dealt with dates.. this video focusses on how watchtower misuses the numbers in scriptures and creates a mental fog that prevents people from understanding and therefore prevents them from challenging.. the full title of the video is maths virus - revealing the antivirus to 1914. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llkmrul3afg.
H:
Yeah, the father ("Jesus" did not use the name bse) has put time in his own jurisdiction (as even Einstein found out) and any one trying to "change time and seasons," or make change, or $s out of it, is in trouble, troubled.
assume for a minute that god created everything.
there was nothing before him and everything is because of him.
every single thing in the universe he is directly responsible for.. somehow the good stuff we should thank him for but the bad stuff is nothing to do with him, it is our fault.. this world that he created that was “good” has turned in to a right shitshow but despite being absolutely responsible for it from start to finish it is not his fault and in fact he has somehow turned this round so that instead of being to blame he is the person who is going to sort the problems and we should be thankful..
Look at the google image right now, depicting art of the earliest humans. They already were bound fascinated by the animal kingdom. consider,
on balance there is much more joy than terror, Thode species that thrive, play the balance card well.
I am deeply grateful for the medics that provide painkillers for me. Nature has the already built in, for the horror moments. as I know Would you think plants will give up blooming, because most seeds, fruit end up being eaten?
accept and embrace what we have,
there can not be survival of the fittest, no fit place to live for some life tp end, all the time.
The present is all the time we have. for now.
so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.
the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.
date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.
a wt prophetic year has 300 days. some times.
most of the sermon on the mount, matthew 5-7 - is bizarre, vague or barbaric.
it actually smacks stupidity and not wisdom..
if you lust after a woman, you’ve committed adultery (thought crime) .
like the song said:" just one look, that's all it took." even the 10 commandments stipulates " not even to desire your neighbor's wife.
and "Jesus" hammered that home when he revealed, that even the offending eye would have you end up in gehenna.
I would be nice to know that the hidden rocks in the congregation would keep their adulterous eyes off your trophy wife, or worse, your young daughter.
the watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.
can anyone recall that gem?
my parents sure bought into that crap.
yeah, that would be the "University of Hard Knocks", learning the hard way that you have been had.

Stay alive till 2075! Sounds like history repeating itself.
2 centenarians overlapping by 20 years each*, reads
2x 100 = 200 - (2x20) = 160 + 1914 = 2074
+1 Year to sort out Armageddon = 2075. which is
the anniversary, sorry I misspoke, it is the centenary, or 100st anniversary, lest we forget, of 1975.

The overlapping generation is easy:
2 centenarians overlapping by 20 years each*, reads
2x 100 = 200 - (2x20) = 160 + 1914 = 2074
+1 Year to sort out Armageddon = 2075. wich is
the anniversary for another of wt's already proven false prophecies
because it can not possibly be the partakers, overlapping or not.
* assuming that the under lapper was 20 year old in 1914.
i've discussed this before but not in this context alone.. i remember being about 14 years old, 1994 and starting a study in the uk with a charming muslim from the congo.
he was a very pleasant middle aged guy with a big family, two wives, always the most hospitable.
at the time the watchtower had a book on many religions, a thick red book called 'mankind's search for god' so i would read and discuss the section on islam with him.. interestingly, but not surprising, many details they had were wrong about islam and he would explain how and correct me.
Just replace the Elder's titles with "Mullah," give them the power to execute rather than just shun,
take "ALL", and add the 2 last letters of the jw's god name,
Make "Jesus" a minor prophet like na-hum. declare the Koran to be the "new scrolls"
Really apply the bible's dress code to "sisters" Give the ladies their own, larger, room in the KD Hall ,
take out the chairs,
mandate beards, ---Voila,
Many jw males would live with that. rather than have their throats cut. and their widows, orphan daughters join the harens of the survivors.
