Not invited
by dmouse ini am alone at home tonight.
my wife and children are busy having dinner and 'spiritual association' with an elder and his wife.. i wasn't invited, even though i am not da or df, just inactive.
and although i've made my position clear in that i'm not interested anymore i've never made any trouble really.. i didn't think it would hurt but it does.

Sorry dmouse I have to side with francoise on this, I cannot understand your wife accepting the invitation without you. I would never do that to a spouse, never.
Shame on the elder for purposely puuting your family in this situation shame !

On the subject of the "annointed", my parents learnt the troof from a member of the 144,000, I was a baby then, and what I do remember, which come to think of it is my earliest ever recollection of anything when I was around 3 or 4 is that, my mom and I were going on a ship to Europe, for an assembly (international) and this "annointed" guy and his wife were with us, mum was pregnant with her 4th, which she lost, but I digress, as we were leaving the port, I remember this guy picking me up, and holding me over the rail of the ship, as tho he was going to drop in the water, (Michael Jackson style) well I'm petrified of heights, wonder if that had anything to do with it????

Offer To Help With CBC Fifth Estate
by reporter ini am going to digitally capture this video and offer it in possibly two sizes, one for broadband and one for dial-up users.
i have access to digital video capture equipment and a digital cbc feed, and as you know, the quality vs. tapes does not degrade.
the larger mpeg capture will be able to be transferred to dvd, in s-video quality, with or without commercials.

........Funny thing is that she doesn`t portray any level of christian humility and /or empathy for people even her own family
If this was a pre-requisite to be of the "annointed class " (tm) then the whole of the GB of WTS would not qualify! I could just picture these people siiting at Jesus' right hand...NOT!

lying decievers and their methods
by refiners fire in1922 certainly was a good year for watchtowers.
many of them were fascinating reading for an observant student of watchtower history.
recurring subjects that year revolved around russells chronology and the dogmatic insistance that russells dates were divinely inspired.

607 for Babylon's destruction
by rebel inthis has probably been discussed on this forum hundreds of times - my excuse is that i am fairly new.. i have a friend who has decided to listen to me as regards why i do not go to many meetings any more.
i mentioned the 607 bce for babylon's destruction but could not remember where the 'society' get the date from.
i know some of you will say they just counted back from 1914 etc, but i have read that they get the date from jeremiah, isaiah or daniel or something.

Hi rebel,
Go here---------> http://www.disfellowshipped.org/607eng.htm
It covers the 607 date excellently taking into account the societys own reasoning, which I believe, at least in the Insight Volume was researched by Ray Franz. Who later confessed in his book COC about what lengths he had to go to, to try and prove the date when everything pointed against it. (Hope I didn't get confused about that)
The person responsible for 99% of the research behind this page is Carl Olof Jonsson. His book The Gentile Times Reconsidered (Commentary Press, Atlanta, 1986), which unfortunately is out of print, contains the most extensive and exhaustive discussion of this topic available.
Hope it helps
:)

I'm so very depressed...
by Nickey inlately, i've been really depressed at missing out on my life.
from being pulled out of school in the 3rd grade to keep me away from the "worldly" kids.
i was basically isolated.

Now that I'm 22, I feel that it's too late for me to go after that and I have to settle for less once again. No college education.
Nickey, when I first started reading what you wrote, I was forming an impression that you were somewhere between 60 - 80 years of age, and were reminscing on missing out on life.
But you're only 22, what is the matter with you sweety? Oh that I could be 22 again.
Please Nickey persue your goals, at least try, try for the dream, you will succeed if you really want to, when you do succeed you will have the feeling like NO other you have ever experienced, it totally consumes you like nothing can defeat you, you will feel like running and jumping and singing, the joy you will experience will be greater than any you will have ever experienced to now, because you will have achieved something you want so badly. And even if you didn't achieve every dream you ever dared to dream, you will look back towards the end of your life and say at least I tried, at least I gave it my best, despite the knockers, despite my upbringing, and I showed them! Don't let anyone defeat you before you try Nickey.
If you do You'll regret it today, you'll regret it tomorrow, and you'll regret you didn't try for the rest of your life. Please Nickey do it for some of us who now can't, but more importantly do it for YOU!
Come ON we know you can do it!
