last sunday's watchtower tells the story of a man who:.
was baptized in 1908 at the age of 20. he was very confident that he would soon receive his reward.
in fact, when he proposed marriage in 1911, he told his prospective bride, pearl: “you know what is going to happen in 1914. if we are going to get married, we better do it soon!” did this christian couple give up the race for life when they did not receive their heavenly reward in 1914?
I spent 6 decades inside the borg. However, I have to admit that after 1975 I never put my full effort into it. Today, I'm perfectly content knowing that one day I will join my ancestors in death. I'm truly puzzled by some of my lifelong friends that still seem to be captive in the borg. I often wonder if they really believe the bullshit from the borg!
"You will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set you free!"

since they’ve announced the dates for the next 3 memorials, no talk about this “may be our last one!”.
since they’ve announced the patterson construction project will take 3 years to complete.
let’s also not forget when they designed warwick, they spent money on expensive energy saving technology to save millions in the long run, years and decades in the future.
The Great Tribulation must be at least 3 years away
Actually it's 3 1/2 years away. I know because I measured the tRump Tower in New York City and came up with 2,520 tRump inches. Then I divided 2,520 by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) which equals 42. Divide 42 by 12 (the number of tribes in the nation of Israel) equals 3.5 years. I could be off by 1 year because A.D. 2020 ends with a zero so I'm not sure if that means that there is no zero year in my calculations. Easy peasy. Should I post a chart to show how easy it is to understand?
Look out for 2023 (unless it 'overlaps' 2024)!

lol, president trump is clearly putting it out that he’s not too scared of impeachment..
Haven't y'all learned that you can never win an argument over politics or religion? The 2 most decisive subjects of all time!

shelley smith jones’ memoir, “petting tigers: my life as a witness of jehovah,” is a finalist in the creative nonfiction category of the high plains book awards.
the title is taken from an appealing vision of paradise that smith jones saw in a jehovah witness book when she was a child.
Ms. Jones could very well be echoing the agony of all of us that grew up as jw's imagining that we would one day play on the "apture of a cobra"! lol

yup that's right the jws religion is a pretentious fraud orchestrated by men running their own religious publishing house.. these men cultivated a semblance of power around themselves through their own propagation of being chosen by god or being more righteous than other christian leaders by their self supporting acclaim that they have truer and more accurate bible interpretations.
another known fact is these top leading men were not academically trained bible scholars.
the first leading executive writer of the wts was a professional clothing salesman/ businessman.
Yo Mr Finkelstein,
Tell us one religion that isn't a pretentious fraud!

we know that the serpent in the garden can’t be secretly satan, because the first time satan is mentioned by name is in a story chronologically after this one, and in that, he is said to be walking.
remember that the serpent was cursed to crawl on his belly all the rest of his days, but in the book of job, satan is still walking around and chatting with god as if they’d never had a falling out.
this is when god had to ask satan where he’s been, because his infallible omniscience obviously didn’t know.. so if he had to ask that of satan, who is later described as the lord of lies, then why would god believe him?
Thanks Blondie for your research into the 'deep knowledge' that is contained in the writings of the watchtower. So my question is, "After jehober removed the legs from snakes, did he also remove the vocal chords?" Holy shit, can't walk or talk!

mrs nic' and i were 16 and 18 years old respectively when we first met at a circuit assembly in corby.
three years later we were married.
we've had a great time, we're very lucky but looking back i can see how crazy it is to put that pressure to marry on teenagers.
Sadly many of my jw friends, that married young, found out that they weren't going to have much sex AFTER marriage! Lots of divorces.

when was that first preached , with the book babylon the great has fallen gods kingdom rules ,the 1970`s ?
where they claimed that false religion had a fall in 1919 and that it was continuing to that day .
however today we see not babylon the great that is falling ,but the jehovah`s witnesses religion that are on the decline ,selling off branches , kingdom halls in one place after another throughout the earth .. and only a couple of years ago they were predicting they would be needing thousands of kingdom halls to be built for the expected influx of new worshippers ?
Which begs the question, What's purple and hates jehovah's witnesses?
Scriptural answer------Babylon the Grape!

the bible from genesis to revelation and some apocrypha books are considered "god`s inspired word" written by imperfect men over the centuries.. yet jesus christ who never wrote a single sentence yet claimed to be the son of god and changed the history of the world not by what he said and did ,but by what others claimed he said and did.. moses wrote five books jesus wrote none .. how can jesus be considered greater than moses ?.
did the political powers that be in those days see an advantage of making jesus and christianity an opportunity for power and authority over the population of the time ?.
Just because he was "perfect" doesn't mean he could write. The bible says he could read but no mention that he could write! Or maybe he did write stuff and his stuff just didn't make the cut when the catholic church was assembling the bible.
