Even Jesus didn't know when it is going to be when he said those words. But given the political situation he was living in it must have been clear that Jerusalem was going to be overthrown and it was.

"The end will come when you least expect it"
by stuckinarut2 inok, so didnt jesus supposedly say "the end will come when you least expect it"?
(or words to that effect...).
so, with so many witnesses running around in an excited way talking about "100 years since the kingdom...etc" and "it may be our last chance to pioneer etc"..."may be the last international conventions".....doesnt this mean then that the end can not come now??!!.

Hello- new here
by Kikura inbeen lurking for a while on here and thought i'd jump in.
a great deal of many thoughtful posts on here but have to say am a bit turned off with the 'rabid apostate' ones!.
my history- was raised in a divided household, mum converted to jw when pregnant with me back in 1970, dad was never jw but was supportive of taking us to meetings, assemblies etc.

Welcome here, I'm glad you have a good relationship with your family and have found your way, and all without having to attend all the meetings that JWs say you have to. As to the truth you refer to, I'm afraid you still have the cult mentality, I'm not being rabid, just realistic.

First Post - Emotionally Torn
by scaredtospeak ini haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.
i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .
i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

Welcome here. You have tough decisions to make if you stay and live a lie it may affect your health mentally and physically. If you don't you may suffer the same! All I can say is be true to yourself.

Welcome, again. In your quest to free everyone don't forget your wife and newborn child. Sadly not everyone wants to be freed.

Just Read Silentlamb.com For the First Time
by HeyThere ini am feeling so emotional right now.
crazy doctrines aside, these child abuse cover-ups are horrendous.
add them together and i feel like there is a churning black hole sucking the souls out of these children.. now, i realize there are boys who were abused as well, but i get this overwhelming feeling that girls/women are simply not valued and/or taken seriously or accused of being liars or demonic or, even worse, viewed as a harlot, whore, or temptress in the majority of situations, no matter the age or the brutality of the rape.

It's the tip of the iceberg in my opinion, many can't bring themselves to tell their story. I reckon there's been a pedophile in almost every congregation at some point, that might sound sensational but the JWs are a perfect place for them to gain protection.

I actually laughed out loud at this bit, so true:
According to the UUT report Jehovah’s Witnesses are suspicious of higher education so elders are not well-educated. The organisation said that this may be the reason why elders do not fully understand the consequences of expulsion and shunning

My fade was going fine until they started pestering me. They were saying 'we love you' and 'we want you back' so I knew they wouldn't give up and every CO visit I'd be getting discussed about or I'd be looking over my shoulder worried I'd get caught doing something I shouldn't be by them, living like that in my opinion was living by their rules. So I wrote a very simple letter saying I don't want to be known as one of them, and dont contact me.
The relief cannot be described, and it's a plus I no longer have to engage in conversation with them anymore.
