  Still nothing credible?

  i can hardly believe that anything new is gonna be announced at the annual meeting.

  i mean, there is absolutely no one i know in this organization capable of keeping a secret and we haven't heard anything but "big changes are coming" "just wait and see" "big things are in the works" and my personal favorite posted by one of our members who was told not to diassociate because "things are gonna be announced that will change your mind".. no one i know at the hall or in positions of responsibilty has ever been able to keep anything confidential.

  it's always been like the character on in lving color, "i aint one to gossip...but you didn't hear that from me.".

  “The Gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.”

  dear jw,.

  on october 2, 1914a hundred years ago todaycharles t. russell announced, the gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.

  for almost 40 years, among other predictions for that year, 1914 had been looked to as the end of armageddon, false religion, and all governments, and the beginning of paradise on earth and the resurrection.

  Nimrod: Fact or fiction

  One thing that bothers me is the fact that no where in the Bible is Nimrod mentioned in conjunction with the Tower of Babel's confusion of languages. If you are mentioning the two as if they occured in conjunction, then you are still under the control of the skewed Jehovah's Witness theology. Read the account, tell me there is credible evidence that they even remotely occured at the same time in biblical history.

  The book of Genesis is notorious for jumping hundreds, if not thousands of years in a single verse....Nimrod had absolutely nothing to do with the Tower of Babel, cause it aint there.

  The Tower of Babel story is proof of several things,

  1) The capability of man to achieve whatever his imagination moves him to do.

  2) That God is not singular...He is dualistic in his persona. (he expresses his concern with other members of the godhead)

  3) God is petty and worried about big building programs, unless they are undertaken by the Watchtower organization.

  There are laws that require that a landlord aka God, cannot simply kick out a tenant aka Satan. There was a load of paperwork, then the Sheriff's department had to present a quit claim for the tenant aka Satan to leave. Satan, although expected to leave around October 3/4 1914, simply decided to hang around. He subsequently filed a cease and desist order against the landlord aka God and has been hanging around ever since. Several of the other tenants aka Angels filed nuisance claims against the tenant aka Satan, but because so many of the other tenants aka Angels, some odd millions and millions of them, in fact about 1/3 of the entire tenant population, would hang out with him drinking and carousing, the tenant aka Satan has yet to leave, expecting that the landlord aka God will send in the hit squad and simply bury him out in the cornfield with Jimmy Hoffa.

  @ Terry- I haven't had the chance to mention this to you yet, but I really like your contributions to this forum. Yes, I agree 100% with your comment. It is kind of hard to distance themselves from the absurdity of CTR and JFR after building on that foundation for SOOO long. It's like expecting the Egyptians to move a pyramid and leave the foundation.

  @hamsterbait- I remember something the boxer Muhammad Ali said, "Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer."

  the week of september 15, 2014 was the congregations cos visit.

  the midweek meeting was on tuesday, a very general bland talk was given by the co. in the past we would have had the elders & servants meeting on thursday night, and the other congregation meeting on friday.

  as you know the friday meeting is no more.

  Ahh, plausible deniability at its finest....The CO better hope he has no real assets, he is now on the line for every single thing that can happen with that elder or MS that "he" has appointed. (By Holy Spirit of course)

  Good for you...move on. Remember the old JW illustration about "drinking a little bit of poison?" Yeah, that one. Some people are like poison. They will toxify your life. Get rid of em. It's better to be alone than surround yourself with people that make you feel lonely.
