i've been out for 13 years.
just wondering who the society is identifying as the king of the north?.
Russia is by no means a world power now by any stretch of the imagination.
They certainly are not King of the North . in Bible prophecy.
If anyone is emerging as the King of the North it would have to be China .
But then again it`s all a lot of bunk.
isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?
Can we really trust the GB / JW ,to truthfully report accurately on numbers ?
I have my doubts about anything they publish nowadays as being truthful .
the jws are fond of quoting john 13:35 that love is the identifying mark of the true religion claiming that only they have this love among themselves.
they love each other.. i was reading the gospel of luke today and thought about the words of jesus luke 6:32-35 niv, “if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
even sinners love those who love them.
The Bible says GOD is Love ? Then my question is : Why would a GOD of love confine Satan down here on Earth to mislead and tempt Humans into wrongdoing ?
as i understand it, jehovah’s witnesses believe less than 145,000 faithful christians existed prior to the twentieth century.
the other sheep christians did not start forming until after 1914. that means jehovah’s witnesses view millions martyred for their faith in christ prior to the 20th century as merely professed christians.. the question is…how do witnesses know that those millions who perished for their faith in christ were not christians at all?.
They don`t know, and that`s the truth ,they are arrogant, Know it all`s who never get anything right ,just look back at their history to understand that fact.
i wonder how many have doubts about the gb teaching that only baptised jws would survive the big a?
even then they still only say you may make it as with unbaptised kids of jdubs.
i think most people physically in don’t agree with the gb on this and are hoping jehovah would let other good people into the new world even if they are not baptised jws.
As a rough guess I would say that every ex JW their is and anybody else who is not a JW and became aware of that question ,just for starters.

Now that sounds interesting .Where do I sign up ?
i remember back in the 80s almost every awake and watchtower magazine, think all, hade an article about how bad and evil catholic church was.
what happened to all the bashing?
was it because people in catholic countries got offended?
I have a lay catholic BIL who I used to debate with and frankly I was a bit embarrassed about how often the WT bashed the RC religion during the 60`s-70`s.
the chronicles of edgaras told by terry walstrom.
cue the edgar origins story .... __________.
i broke off a piece of multigrain bread from my sandwich and tossed it toward the little scavenger.. every frickin’ day thereafter he appears demanding (like a sleazy hollywood agent) 10% of my snacks.
I`m afraid its way too long for me to get through .
happy birthday 2 me!!.
sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.
you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.
Happy birthday Terry ,wait till you get to 83 like me ,and I still can`t beleive how the hell I got this far and still stand up ?I`m gonna have to have a look at the talent that`s obviously on this board ,I don`t know where I went wrong .
Take care buddy.
for those jehovah`s witnesses that beleive heaven is a spiritual paradise ,think about this.. rev.12: 7-9 .
and as a sub thought ,if god was indeed a god of love ,why would he cast satan down to the earth to mislead deceive and harm god`s children ?.
no human parent would do such a thing to their children ,so why would a god who is supposed to be a god of love do so ?.
For those Jehovah`s Witnesses that beleive heaven is a spiritual paradise ,think about this.
Rev.12: 7-9
