The UN's motto means the END OF DAYS!! Gloom and DOOM
by Honeybucket ina email has been going around the witness community explaining how prophecies are falling into place concerning the wild beast.
aparantly the un's motto this year is "peace and security" 1 thes 5:3 "whenever it is that they are saying peace and security then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pangs of distress upon a pregnant woman aand they by no means will escape".. according to this scripture the "end" should already be here since peace and security has already been declared by the un; i do wonder if this was done on purpose as a slap in the face to wtbs, due to them gb declaring the un a wicked and destable thing.. i would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.. honeybucket.

Our First Halloween
by Red Piller in(i grew up in the "truth".
) very risky, considering we are still active in the cong..... so we started at the first house and methodically walked up and down each driveway as worked along the street.. we were quickly over-taken by kids who were zig-zagging across lawns and doing houses in random order.
suddenly, it dawned on me.

You know, when you really "Make the Truth your own" it changes everything
by gubberningbody inyou own it.. that is to say, you are the one who decides what is right and what is wrong.. now it's odd to realize that the so-called father of faith, abraham "made the truth his own" in condemning what he thought this being was planning on doing to the residents of sodom (including his own self-absorbed whiney nephew lot) with the words "is the judge of all the earth not going to do what is right?
" are words which meditating on would eventually lead me to condemn all religion including any being which may or may not be behind it all.. .
because in "making the truth my own" i learned to reject power as the basis for moral authority, and this power necessarily included intelligence.

How do I disprove "New Light"?
by DarkFireWolf ini currently am a jw and my parents are too.they seem either confused or dislike it when i raise questions and recently, when i questioned them about 1925 and 1975, i've been told it's changed due to "new light.
" i don't remember nor do i have very much knowledge of "new light.".
this "new light" just dosen't sit with me and neither do the false prophecies.new light first of all, breaks a scripture in deut.
