maybe i`m just getting old , jesus christ was king of the jews 2,000 years ago ,he was supposed to have returned in 1879 ?
and armageddon was to have occured in 1914 ,which of course didn`t happen .. and then wt in their wisdom adjusted that belief to mean that was when he was enthroned as king to sit at gods right hand .right ?
or am i wrong here.. or was he just to sit at gods right hand until god makes him a king after armageddon .?.
Sooooooooooooooooooooon!

it was announced today that we will have a special weekend meeting next month.
it will be 3 hours long and will include some streamed content.. no explanation was given as to what the meeting will be about, only that it will be exciting and we will not want to miss it..
Everything about the wt is "special"---don't you know?

◄ joshua 10:11 ►.
and it came to pass, as they fled from before israel, and were in the going down to bethhoron, that the lord cast down great stones from heaven on them to azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of israel slew with the sword.. .
looks like the amorites came to the battle only wearing helmets.
With jehober fighting for and protecting the Israelites plus all the natural elements, like hail stones, etc., at their disposal, why the f*ck did they need nearly a million man army? lol

it occurs to me the gb probably dont have much experience when it comes (!
) to marital sex guidance, so i think its only fair and reasonable we should put together a few hints to help them publish a suitable guide.. it is well known a lot of jw's get married in order to have sex, and all to frequently the marriages fail, possibly due to sexual problems, so the watchtower guide to sex should prove to be very worthwhile.. any jw courting couple intending to get married should be allowed to have a copy of the guide, and should only be available by a special order through the body of elders.. copies are not available to any single bros and sisters.. all and any advice in it must adhere to bible principles, and certainly no salty language or smut will be allowed.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
so--to get this started--and in no particular order--here is my first suggestion:.
Maybe the watchtower should make engaged persons to go over 100 questions before qualifying to be married!

the watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.
i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.
over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.
Only the pets that properly answered the 100 questions and were baptized will be resurrected, IMHO!

i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.
it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..
The watchtower organization can pad the numbers like any business. They certainly lack transparency when it comes to their financials. Still, 8.5 million is still a very tiny number compare to other religions that have been around for about the same amount of time.
The 8 guys in New York are worried for sure!

after the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.
I can't listen to any of those guys talk. It literally repels me knowing what kind of bullsh*t that they are spewing out! I suppose that some of my feelings of repulsion for them is that at one time I use to "hang" on their every word as if it were inspired. OMG what a fool!

have you ever been told that humility requires waiting on jehovah?i have.
lots of times.
for decades.
Good topic Afterburn.
More importantly to me as I have often explained to the local elders in "my" congregation, :Why did Jehovah give the the governing body the WRONG understanding to begin with so that so called "new light" would be need to correct the wrong understandings?"
And yea, I lack humility too, I quit waiting on Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny!

from a member of the board asking for this to be posted.. hi.
i'm pimo.
could you please let people know about this?
I'm in the San Francisco bay area in California. A few months ago a brother gave a talk at our hall and mentioned a that recently 17 congregations in the San Jose area (just south of San Francisco) had merged and/or been dissolved.

are you put off with gwyneth paltrow`s marketing of a brand of candles she advertises as "smelling like my vagina " ?.
she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?
and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?
Why would anyone purchase a candle that smells like tuna fish??
