  i have seen a few comments about this week's meeting.. was there actually a part that specified an actual per-publisher amount that should be donated regularly?.

  can this be confirmed please?.

  i truly cant believe just how brazen the society seems to be getting - and how desperate they are!.

  The letter mentions ~1 dollar a month, p.p. why is that discussion worthy?

  Did you ever buy into 1975?

  by tornapart in

  2. beliefs

  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.

  having been spooked by the blatant error of the then "Superior Authority" doctrine, we were convinced of the inferiority of wt predictions, but went along halfheartedly, not expecting much, hedging our bets. coming out winners.

  according to these news items the child abuse front is extending to quebec.

  a class action would really open some eyes i suspect.

  here's hoping!

  Might some child rape victims have settled already, and therefore not adding to that list? reducing the might?

  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.

  one or two notable points from chapter 18 of "god's kingdom rules.".

  “it will never beg nor petition men for support”.

  7 brother russell and his associates refused to imitate the money-raising schemes so common in the churches of christendom.

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

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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

  Schadenfreude

  siar: Message to jws: "Do not rejoice in the misery of your enemy, for the one in the heavens is watching" , somewhere in Proverbs, Ecclesiastes.

  Schaden = damage, typical in Earthquakes.-- Freude, = rejoicing, pleasure.

  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.
