Thank you all for your kind words and well wishes .Its been two weeks to the day that I had my OP and every thing seems to be going well.Outside the home I use two crutches and inside I use one crutch to get around.They get you up and walking with a walker the very next day and then exercises and walking everyday since.

I had a Titanium and plastic? hip replacement and I still feel pain/ache in my left hip/leg that is worse during the night and keeps me from getting a good nights sleep

Hopefully continuing with rehab that will soon pass.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts and well wishes

So far I havent had a bill and dont expect to get one thanks to the Govt and the health system .looking after pensioners.

Jehovah`s Credentials Fail or Pass

by smiddy3 in

judging by jehovah gods past dealings with the israelite / jews , i wonder why anybody can take seriously anything that he has promised for the future .. or is it what humans want to believe he has in store for them ?.

during jehovah`s dealings with the israelites they had a leprosy colony in their midst .he didn`t do anything about that .. they had wars that he instigated and supported and people died on both sides of the wars.

israelites as well as the enemy.. he accepted slavery ,did nothing about it .

During Jehovah`s dealings with the Israelites they had a leprosy colony in their midst .He didn`t do anything about that .

They had wars that he instigated and supported and people died on both sides of the wars. israelites as well as the enemy.

He accepted slavery ,did nothing about it

.The Israelites enjoyed spoils of war ,virgins of the defeated enemy. No thought for the poor virgins who had their parents killed and forced into a union with one who did it ?

Jehovah God is supposed to be the ultimate chemist in creating the universe and all he could do is carve out of stone ? the ten commandments .?

What did Jehovah God ever do technologically advanced in any field ,medicine etc. for their time,with the Israelites to set them apart from other people for his namesake? Nothing . zilch ,zero.

Why would anybody believe what imperfect humans today claim God is going to do this or that ?

Obviously God cannot speak for himself.

And apparently Jesus Christ can`t either .

Yet both of them supposedly had no trouble communicating with us in years gone by.

The JW cult creates pessimistic personalities in all the PIMI congregants is my opinion

by goingthruthemotions in

i am not saying all jw congregants are pessimistic, but i would go as far to say all pimi jw congregants are pessimistic.. why do i say this, my wife is my measuring stick.

she has barely an optimistic bone in her being.

she will only focus on the bad parts of anything.

i am surprised no one has mentioned what is going on in canada.. maybe they have but i missed it.

so here are some of the facts as i know them.

ontario only.. sault st. marie had their six congregations whittled down to two.

smiddy3

As most of these posts are over a year old I would like to hear an update regarding these posts ?

Whats the situation like now in Canada ? Quebec for instance ? Was it the 60`s - 70`s when a lot was going on with the Govt. and JW`s then if I remember rightly.

The Bible speaks of the "Unforgivable Sin" ? What is it ?

by smiddy3 in

do any jehovah`s witnesses or ex jehovah`s witnesses even know what that sin is ?.

why is such a statement in the bible if its not identified what that sin is ?.

were the authors of the book just playing with peoples heads ?

“Do not gaze about!”

by slimboyfat in

so many changes in the 2013 nwt seem needless and spoil familiar phrases.

take isaiah 41:10 in the nwt classic rendering:.

do not be afraid, for i am with you.

smiddy3

I think they stuffed up there changing "do not gaze about " .They could use that wording to warn against looking on the internet about JW`s ,and only click on JW.Org .

I really dont see the point in them revising the Bible as they do ? To make more money ?

But the Bible is not the only thing they revise to their benefit .And that is their history

They are masters at changing the early history of the "International Bible Students Association" IBSA / Jehovah`s Witnesses .

JWs getting into film production what could go wrong

by mickbobcat in

so the cult is getting into film production.

i saw evans piece on the jws opening a studio in australia.

one thing i see is if they use the people who are drawn to acting one they will create internal stars.

I love the fact they keep S.Lett on those videos .I would never have become a JW, "If ever I saw His Face" on a video. LOL

First 3 Presidents never knew JC began his reign as King in 1914 ?

by smiddy3 in

the first 3 presidents of the i.b.s.a ./ jehovah`s witnesses / wtb&ts.. w.h.conley ,c.t.russell ,j.f.rutherford .. how many jehovah`s witnesses know that ?

how many ex jehovah`s witnesses knew that ?

the wt society teaches that jesus returned to begin his "invisible presence" in 1914 directing his attention toward the earth as ruling king.

smiddy3

Apparently the 3rd President Rutherford did become aware and taught Jesus began his rule in 1914 some years after becoming president.There is some evidence that Rutherford first mentioned 1914 as the beginning of christs second coming in the 1930`s.

"Jehovah`s Witnesses Proclaimers of Gods Kingdom" on pages 46 and 47 explains that in 1876 Second Adventist Nelson Barbour succeeded in convincing Charles taze Russell that Christs invisible presence began in 1874. { Apparently 1874 was first taught as the end of 6000 years of mans existence and Jesus return }

Page 133 mentions this again along with a footnote explaining that a clearer understanding of Biblical chronology pointing to 1914 was published in 1943. That footnote refers to the 1943 book "The Truth That Shall make You Free" that changed the date of Jesus return from 1874 to 1943.The Proclaimers book doesn`t mention any date prior to 1943.
