Yo, Fred.
You must belong to the "hang out with the apostate" class. I'm amazed but not shocked that some still loyal JW's like to hang on boards like this. There's nothing you can teach us, Fred. But hanging out here and at H20, you must have learned quite a bit about your org. I just don't get why after all this education, you still support the WTS. I guess you get to graduate to the "denial" class.

my kid brother, tom, was born to witness parents.
he was something of a surprise package and my parents were delighted.
my father said that tom was:.
Boy do I feel dumb. I became a witness after my childhood was over. Guess I didn't know that I had a good thing going.

Simon,
Americans have taken every tradition from the British Isles(and everywhere else for that matter) and bastardized them to the point of no recognition. In just a few centuries, we have decimated any kind of original culture that came here.
TR
just wondering..... for those of us who are inactive, or have serious doubts, etc etc... are you going to the memorial, even though you don't fully agree with how they explain things?.
anyone planning to have their own at home?.
or are you still planning on going, even if it's to say g'day to long "lost" friends?.
What an embarrassing load of crap the WTS's memorial is. They've tailored it to fit their "unique" beliefs. I haven't been to one in 7 years. I HAVE thought of going to a meeting just for the hell of it, though. I want to see the meeting from my new perspective just once.

Sorry, you blokes,
The only REAL football is American football!(running for cover now)
I hear a lot about the riots that happen at football(soccer) games in Europe and South America. You guys must be some loyal fans! Or, maybe just the alcohol talking?

i think it was hitler who believed that if you repeat something often enough, in time people will believe it.
yes, there is, and it is taking place right before our very eyes!rev.
in what way are the symbolic many waters under modern babylon dropping, diminishing?
Ozzie, this is interesting:
I think that they are just as much deluded by this monster (the organisation) that has been established as any other witnesses.
No JW wants to see their religion or "truth" disintegrate. Even at the highest level they seem to be willing to perpetuate the "doublethink" mentality. Unless of course one is "stumbled" by a WTS doctrine or event that shakes their confidence in what they were taught. Many JW's of late have been "stumbled" by the WTS's teachings and changed doctrines

i am a christian, what is "jehova's witnesses " all about?.
how do i know which religion i belong to?
i believe in god fully, and i respect all what jehova's have to say when they come knocking at my door.
Hi Anthony,
We must not make our own "prophesies" - (interpreting the Bible ourselfs). But must trust in the word of God - and let our patience endure. God may not send his Son Back to Earth (Christs return of course)for another 1,000,000 years. You see, Gods days are different to ours - and also the time - which is everlasting in the sight of our lord God.
Very good. Please tell the JW's you talk to about these things. They need to learn about them. You see, their leaders, the WTB&TS teach differently.

*** w50 1/15 25 who will share in the final witness?
18 too busy to preach?
like some in jesus' day, do any make excuses that they have a farm, or livestock, or a wife that takes their time and leaves no time for the new world?
DLJ,
The old light not bright enough? Here's some newer light:
"For the year 2000, I visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise! But I don't think that either the present world or it's rulers will live to see that day.. We are living in the last days of this system of things."{AWAKE Nov 8 1986}
