looking at the most recent wt the study article focuses on the jubilees.
the made a separate box in the article to highlight the math behind jubilees, and i'm wondering if they're trying to get people thinking and stir up the pot without actually making a false prophecy.
for instance: jubilees happened every 7 times 7 years.
Look out for 2025! That will be the Jubilee year dating from 1975. Remember 1975 the "can't fail " year that Armageddon would destroy billions!
Yep 1975 + 50 = 2025.
Oops is there a zero year that I missed? If so maybe it's 2026. My guess is as good as theirs!
just saying!

Armageddon must be very near because the organization is planning another very large and expensive construction project back in New York!
Matt. 24:14 (slightly revised edition)
"and this good news of more construction projects will be financed in all the inhabited earth (by the worldwide 'brotherhood') for a witness to all the nations that jw's can build elaborate structures and then the end will come!"

one of jws oldest beliefs, going back to the bible students, was quietly turned to old light in the latest wt.
in questions from readers, it explains that when satan told eve 'you certainly will not die', he wasn't starting the doctrine of the immortal soul, but that rather came later, after the flood..
A talking snake, a magic piece of fruit from tree that could give you eternal life, a flaming sword spinning to guard the entrance to the magic tree!
Sounds like mythology to me! Yep Hebrew mythology preserved in a book called the bible!
just saying!
underwhelming as usual.
of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.
oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.
The wt leaders don't use mathematics but they do use math-magic! They have used magic formulas to calculate events that are based on mythical starting dates while employing the Hebrew calendar year of 360 days and magically converting to the Gregorian calendar of 365 1/4 days. It requires a lot of mental gymnastics but if you do the math, using wt colored glasses, you will arrive at whatever date needed! It's simply magic!

hello all - long ago i posted under sosad..... cant get back under that name so hello again.
i though i remember in hte last couple of years that there was a change in the strict practice of not clinking glasses and toasting,,, that it was more of a conscience decision.. was i dreaming this?
any help towards printed information on this subject is very much appreciated..
Every f*cking thing has either a religious, political, or military origin! Except wedding anniversaries---right?

once again the mention of jesus was or has been very little this truly is an old testament cult with some sprinkles of pauline writings to help them in their doctrines.
i also noticed how mixed up the congregations are at this and probably other rcs.
some of the local congregations are here near the rcs site but also ones almost 100 miles away as well , yet other local congregations are not scheduled at this time.
Probably the most ho-hum convention of all time! Lots of napping going on.

president kennedy's brother robert excited the world as a candidate for president 5 years after jfk's murder.rfk, in turn, was murdered.the assassin's name was sirhan sirhan, he was palestinian.it just so happened the assassin's father, bishara, was a member in good standing as one of jehovah’s witnesses.so what?
so this:this seemingly innocent fact would jolt jehovah's witnesses into a near panic.
i know because i was there.here are the facts as i remember them.______the jehovah's witness, bishara sirhan unfortunately had a reputation in his neighborhood and community for being excitable, even volatile at times.
Does all this indicate that hurricane Dorian is the beginning of the "great tribulation"?

antichrist - nwt p. 1693 glossary of bible terms - "all people, organizations, or groups that falsely claim to represent christ....can properly be called antichrists.
well this proves that the org can't be the antichrist, because they've never claimed to represent christ - only jehovah!
's can now breathe a sigh of relief)
My wife likes her bacon barely cooked, sort of limp and soft! I call it the "anti-crispy"!

hey guys, i've been pimo going on full inactive for a very long time, 5+ years.
pretty happy with the current situation.
over the years, i've gotten lots of grief from the local elders and cos for my inactivity, attending wordly public events and social media posts.
at 1 Corinthians 7:39 it says to marry “only in the Lord,”
at 1 Corinthians 6:14 is says "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers."
These 2 scriptures are not suggestions, they are rules or laws stated by Paul that wt ignores. They are plainly stated. Technically these are disfellowshipping issues if one chooses to violate them. But again the wt does nothing!
But smoke a cigar or take a life saving blood transfusion and you get df'ed!

1.the first is 2 cor.4:4 that satan is "the god of this system of things" to blind the minds of the unbelievers etc.. so logically this "system of things" would mean the governments ,politicians, armed forces and law enforcement agency`s such as the police would it not?
so satan is in control of all of these under the banner of being the god of this system of things.?.
2. rom.13: 1-7 " let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities for their is no authority except by god".
Lol-lol. Now that's a funny question to ask us here on this site. I can't really think of 2 beliefs of jw's that align with any kind of logical, normal, reasonable thinking!
