  Great piece Terry,

  I'm 73 now and spent over half a century in the jw prison. Of course, there were times that I actually truly believed. As the 'disappointments' mounted up, I began to withdraw, at least mentally and emotionally from the wt. I wanted so much to believe, but real life has a way of setting matters straight and revealing the truth. In the years leading up to 1975, I didn't sell everything and start full time preaching so I guess I didn't really believe that the end was coming. When 1994-95 came and went, (end of the 1914 'generation') the disappointment became disbelief!

  One last hope was that, "surely by the end of the 20th century" this system would end and we would be in paradise! My wife and I purchased a brand new 1998 GMC Suburban right at the end of 1997. I remember jokingly telling her that would would be able to drive this vehicle right into the 'new system'. She hesitated for a moment and then laughed. Then she added, "I'd rather drive in in a new BMW but that wouldn't look to good to the other survivors!" I LMAO!

  Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.

  ”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.

  they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

  When the Poles first arrived here from Poland in the 1800's, I didn't believe in them. But I do now because I love Polish sausage!

  BTW, the polls had Hillary as president a few years back---right?

  cottage grove, minn. (ap) — a struggling minnesota church is asking its older parishioners to leave in hopes of making it more attractive to young families.. .

  grove united methodist church in the st. paul suburb of cottage grove is closing in june, with plans to relaunch in november.

  Half full kh's eventually take a psychological toll on those that attend and since most kh's are only half full the wt is beginning to realize it. Full halls give the false impression of growth.

  Also as Crazy says, "confidential records" can conveniently get lost as congregations merge!

  If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.

  this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

  somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

  the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

  So if you speak against the gb, you'll likely go to hell?

  If you speak favorably about the gb you're already in hell!

  the latest jwdotorg experience starts very familiarly:.

  danielle, one of jehovah’s witnesses in south africa, found a bag that a customer had left behind in a coffee shop.

  inside the bag was a wallet with money and credit cards.. when the owner met her to get it back,.

  I'm with WinstonSmith on this. I call bullsh*t. How the holy hell did the wt organization possibly know what happened "some months later" to the man who supposedly left his bag in a coffee shop.

  Another embellished story.

  A jw was in a coffee shop----that part is probably true!

  When "all" is not "everyone" or "everything."

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  we keep seeing posters bringing col. 1.16 and john 1.3 up as proof that christ is excluded from the creative acts.

  the proof they submit is that the words "all things [gk., pánta]" appear in these texts.

  however, they are missing this important element from the discussion: the word "all" is rarely used in greek, and even in our everyday language to mean literally "everyone" or "everything" under the sky.

  The simply words, "all", "everyone", "everything", and the ever popular word "soon" have one meaning to normal rational, logical persons, and quite another meaning to those in watchtower-land.

  Did you understand the individual books of the bible ?

  by Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the last couple years i have been really getting into watching these videos called the bible protect.

  there is no real dogmatic axe to grind.

  just simple 10 -15 min videos on the individual books of the bible and kind of how it’s all connected together.

  It's really hard to make sense of, or to understand mythology. It doesn't have to make sense because it's fantasy.
