The Yeartext is actually a fulfilled bible prophecy, namely motorless human flight, rising to ~16 km. higher than a passenger jet.
Fulfilled by those that hope, are confident that they have figured out, applied the creator's laws, use of his energy.

How/when did you become a jehovas witness?
by Lewis1998 inso i've been a protestant for most of my life, it's how i was raised, but recently i started questioning my faith more and more and now i feel like my beliefs resemble that of a jehovas witness rather than a protestant.
i don't know any jehovas witnesses, so i was just wondering how a lot of you found the religion and adapted to it?.

I was a protestant and accepted wt beliefs because my grandparents were true believers, with an ancient Lutheran Leather bound bible***, (I never read) that contained the wt answers to wt questions That I never had never a reply too, war, lefe.
Now I realize, that the bible , really ancient is as wrong as the concept the writers had at that distant past.
Before going into more bible details, using wt hype, study the fables, scientific untruih that this un-inspired book contains.
*** their most costly posession by far.

Trivial stuff about the AGM
by sir82 inlots of good comments already about the content of saturday's agm broadcast.. i just thought i'd add my (trivial!
) comments about the magnificent 7:.

Probably follows the lead of Splane and Morris despite being the senior GB member. Morris, yep,
Sir82, or perhaps Poetzinger, the token central European who can yodel, a token like Herd, but less likeable. A table Server by trade, dishing out spiritual food he did not cook up himself. tip accordingly,
You got to feel sorry for them being caught in a situation like that.

The Watchtower's Real Crisis
by JeffT inwhen discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.
i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.
this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

konceptual99: I was not referring to the dethroning of the Apostles, but the pre-Armageddon rapture of the partakers.

The only major doctrinal point addressed in recent history has been the overlapping generation and that has been a classic exercise in trying to sell the impossible.
They have offered nothing in the meat of the scriptures
k99: Right, and by making the generation anointed, directly contradicted "Jesus" words of the generation "not passing until all occurs"..

In memory of a lost doctrine - the vindication of Jehovah's name
by slimboyfat ini start this thread in response to a comment by a jw apologist called simonsays on another thread.
he claimed to have read all three volumes of vindication by rutherford (my sympathy if true).
he further implied that it didn't matter that old jw literature said wrong and stupid things, saying:.

For vindicating a name, you would have to attach a meaning to it, and with "Jrhovah" becoming or "causing to become" anything thats suits the purpose or time, how is this done? a lttle bit like the four sided faces of the creatures on the chariot that face whatever direction it is headed at the time.
Vindication demands a stated goal achieved, sanctification just a general cleaning. or?

Ar the AGM: it can be both sanctified and vindicated.
Russell and Klein, both are fine.
