Did you ever buy into 1975?

by tornapart in

for those of you that can remember.... did you really believe that armageddon was going to come in 1975?

i was a child of the 60s, in my teens in the 70s and can honestly say that i never bought into it.

i saw brothers and sisters selling their homes and moving into rented property.

The date came upon us , during book "study" 6 years ahead. We had just retired from a decade of special pioneering, after the "Superior Authority" re-reversal. so, we decided it would be cheaper to build a house instead of renting (as wt paupers) , and live in comfort until "the end", in a choice location, "need greater" too,

It was just a date, further into the future than we expected, what with nuclear war, ("god's) intervention) always being only 15 minutes away.

just a date , like 1914, no firm expectation, no dreams of horror and paradisaic bliss. Strangely, some well to do worldling, that valued our genuine sincerity, bought also into it, kind of, fearing the coming judgement?

Never regretted being conned be wt into the real estate, real world mode.

The current wt predictions imply an end of the overlap by 2075. Very good deals possible with that scenario too. now that we know.

Never forgave wt for having made us tools & fools by foisting these ideas (Superior Authorities J1 & J2) , 1975 on others, Being false prophets is their problem, making us participants is criminal fraud. never again.

What actually happened AFTER Jesus zoomed up into the clouds and disappeared?

by TerryWalstrom in

what happened after jesus zoomed up into the sky?for a while, he was expected to return rather quickly.in the meantime, there was the “great commission” and evangelism to be tended to.. the jesus believers were meeting in people's homes.

members of that community would take turns using private homes to gather.

thus, they went house to house.. these footstep tracers of jesus (they called themselves akolouthontes "followers" or some called themselves mathetai or "learners.

Hopefully the materialized body reached escape velocities*** to travel to "The Throne", shed the "flesh and blood that can not inherit the kingdom" , present the "ransom value" and get back 10 days later for Pentecost, to present the "sign", the HS, still hot from re-entry, like flames.

*** not necessarily 7 miles /second

OTWO the gb agrees with you, that is why they are rebranding: no wt in jw.org, and steering away from doctrines, the (we are right you are wrong) approach to h2h. ha ha.

2018 Annual Meeting

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

does anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?

i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.

i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.

waton

My guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.

EOHB: It would be easy, just declare the "12 Tribes of Israel" in Mat. 19:18 and Rev. 7:4-9, - that are now pegged at the "Earthly Hope" -, to be The Israel of God, aka Spiritual Israel. Then all the 12 tribes would be in the New Covenant, and voila, all partaker! but that would be too simple.

I ask those going in the "service": are you preaching the overlapping generation? some are not even aware that this is the doctrine they are supposed to front. They are not even aware ( forgotten and buried) that it is a current wt teaching. but are zealous.

Have you noticed that wt teaches now that the generation will pass away, rather than not pass away.? May be they can therefore say in the future that the generation has already passed away?
