Its not my fault
by incognito2014 inassume for a minute that god created everything.
there was nothing before him and everything is because of him.
every single thing in the universe he is directly responsible for.. somehow the good stuff we should thank him for but the bad stuff is nothing to do with him, it is our fault.. this world that he created that was “good” has turned in to a right shitshow but despite being absolutely responsible for it from start to finish it is not his fault and in fact he has somehow turned this round so that instead of being to blame he is the person who is going to sort the problems and we should be thankful..

The bible is like a musical instrument that you can play any tune upon .And the JW`s have mastered playing it.

April 30, 1993
by pistolpete inthis year was actually “the beginning of the last days for the watchtower.
before this year, there were very few that questioned the watchtower.
they were truly god’s only channel.

1993 was about the time I left the religion .Then the next few years with the help of the internet I cemented that break with facts about the cult that I would never have known otherwise.

Time, times and half a time - nerd time
by Anony Mous inso, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.
the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.
date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

Jesus-------What were you thinking!
by pistolpete inmost of the sermon on the mount, matthew 5-7 - is bizarre, vague or barbaric.
it actually smacks stupidity and not wisdom..
if you lust after a woman, you’ve committed adultery (thought crime) .

Don’t swear an oath (our entire judicial system is dependent on the idea of oaths)
Geoffrey Jackson swore an oath on the Bible at the ARC to tell the truth and he never did.

by Overrated inthe watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.

I remember an elder in my congregation who would hone in on some "special word" and use it in a sentence that just didn`t make sense, no doubt he thought he was getting a college education.

Christmas star of Bethlehem to appear for 1st. Time in 800 years
by nowwhat? inas spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.
are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?
coincidence?

watchtower says it was Satan that provided the star so herod would find the baby Jesus. So They are saying Satan is powerful enough to move planets?
Sorry nowwhat planets are not stars ,stars are suns. And they are light years in distance away from us here on earth.
It`s absurd to say that a star could move over the sky that would pinpoint a geographical location on earth.
If an apparent light moved some distance above a dwelling to pinpoint it`s location then it certainly isn`t / wasn`t a star .
Another Bible gaff ?

Publishers bought the magazines over the literature counter and then charged a few cents more to cover their expenses in delivering these magazines to the public.
I remember specifically selling a couple of Mags to a householder who then tore them up in front of me hoping to get a reaction ?
If i remember correctly I said something like ,"no loss to me you just paid for them " and walked off
.A specific price was indicated for all JW publications prior to the Jimmy Swaggart case regarding taxation on religious literature.
As Jeffro says , that`s when it all changed , the WTB&TS went to bat for Jimmy Swaggart`s religion as a friend of the court , trying to protect their own interests and supporting one of Christendoms religions.
Don`t believe me ? Do your own research .! lurkers ,and any who just take the G.B.at their word .!

Do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe the 1,000 reign of Christ Jesus began in 1914 ?
by smiddy3 inif not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as king in 1914 ?
do they claim that ?
or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?.

If not ,why do they claim he took up his power to reign as King in 1914 ? Do they claim that ? Or is it that he has only returned awaiting for god to give the throne to him.?
If so why is jehovah God taking so long to do this ? Why the big gap in years ?
If they do ,then WTF has he been doing this past 106 years ?
If neither of these options is the case ,then what is the third option ? That he is not a reigning King yet but is awaiting for Jehovah God to destroy this system of things during the Great tribulation and Armageddon.?
And only then does he take up his kingship and start the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ.
Some things don`t seem to add up but I can`t put my finger on it ? with JW`s beliefs about this.
