some things i just didnt notice at the time which now seem so obvious:.
the bible tells us that the end will come like a thief in the night, when we least expect it.
(matthew 24:44).
Some Things Just Dont Add Up, How Did We Miss This???
Talking Snake/Donkey, Samson had his life in his Hair, Killed 1000 people with the Jawbone of an Ass, Tied 150 pairs of foxes to use as blazing missiles, Jacobs cloning of sheeps...
Oh what a fun it is, to read the Bible
what statement to the elders would get you disfelloshipped fastest?
saying.... a) that you don't believe in god anymore.
or saying ... b) that you don't believe that the governing body is god's canal and mouthpiece anymore.. what opinion is most serious in there eyes?
In my experience, confessing that you don't believe in the GB infuriates the JWs much than telling them that you don't believe in God.

the talk outline “jesus christ—earth’s new ruler” has been discontinued and should no longer be used.
it has been replaced by “who really is jesus christ?”note: this is the special public talk outline for 2018. the talk will be given in most congregations the week of monday, march 19, 2018.. .
Who really is Jesus Christ.
Probably a middle east rebel, who may have died pathetically in the hands of Romans and upon whom Myths were built.
2 earthquakes in less than a month.... witnesses are going to have a field day with this... bounce back from that decline.....
And the Bible states that Earthquakes are a sign of the last days, whereas in fact earthquakes are common Occurrence, since the Earth Existed.
Questions to ask a JW:
Why do earthquakes happen. Faulty design ?
A car company warns that its cars would fail and end up in disasters. Is that something proud to proclaim ? Similarly, JWs proudly proclaim that their GOD who created the earth warned of Earthquakes, in the last days. Isnt that a Shame on that God who created the earth ?
one’s mindset and its conditioning pursue what one believes to be the “truth” which it says ‘i can perceive with my senses.
this makes possible for the life to be perceived in many different ways.
imagine all were born blind.
"Only we have the truth" is as Arrogant and ignorant as "I am the only righteous person"
what happened after jesus zoomed up into the sky?for a while, he was expected to return rather quickly.in the meantime, there was the “great commission” and evangelism to be tended to.. the jesus believers were meeting in people's homes.
members of that community would take turns using private homes to gather.
thus, they went house to house.. these footstep tracers of jesus (they called themselves akolouthontes "followers" or some called themselves mathetai or "learners.
Jesus got spoiled with the luxuries of heaven and is not coming back as promised.
for those of you that can remember.... did you really believe that armageddon was going to come in 1975?
i was a child of the 60s, in my teens in the 70s and can honestly say that i never bought into it.
i saw brothers and sisters selling their homes and moving into rented property.
During 1975, I was a School going happy kid raised by loving protestant parents and never even heard about this JW cult during that time. Lucky me !!
i just wonder what universities they would have gone to?
.
if possible, former members and current ones separately.... .
Graduates from University of Middle East Myths.
do any of the current governing body have academic qualifications?.
thanks.

i've only just stopped laughing.. in my old hall there's a brother who's now claiming to be of the anointed.. he's 28.. i do wonder if he's doing this for attention, if he's awake and messing with them, or if he really is that deluded.
when i was in he was an ms. which surprised even me because only a year earlier than that he was "a bit of a lad", is rubbish at talks and relies on his elder uncle to get him out of trouble all the time.. i guess this now means he's get his pick of jw sisters.
he's been after the same one as the rest of his peers since 2014..
My wife and I had a chance to associate with one anointed lady who was separated from her husband during that time. Some elders in the congregation warned us not to have close associations with her, as they never had a good opinion about her. Pretty much, most anointed are viewed suspicious as far as I have seen.
Deep in their minds, even a devout JW believe that these anointed stuff are all nonsensical, which reflects as their disbelief towards the anointed.
