  Alot of people say " they have been saying that for years and still nothing has happen" that only means we should be grateful jehovah with his merciful self is giving us time ,plenty of time so some of us can actually pay attention to him and have a chance to live forever has he origainally intented for us to live.

  Once again, ariana dear, you are sounding like a broken record.....heard it all before, used to be one myself......nothing new. You really have been brainwashed trained well. This is cult talk, do some research on cults and the techniques they use. You'll find they sound awfully familiar...

  Before you say "but this isn't a cult, we don't" stop for a moment and think. Have you ever heard of cult that comes out and says "we're a cult, we want to control you, just sit still and listen while we brainwash you". Have you? Of course they don't. It's called mind control, it's a powerful tool. You haven't posted one original thought, it's all been from what you have been trained to say.

  Remember, we've been there too......

  The problem is this is not about ourselves. This is about what jehovah expects from us.I agree with jehovahs thoughts.He knows whats best you have to have love for him as if he was a real person in order to except his teachings and change your life for him

  Ariana:
  
  PLEASE think for yourself for just a second. The society has been saying that end was just around the corner since Charles T. Russell was preaching 130 years ago. Research how they actually came about picking 1914 as the start date for Jesus' invisible reign as King. Even if you accept 1914 at face value, it's been 93 years since Jesus supposedly began his reign. What happened to the teaching that the generation of 1914 would still be around for Armageddon? They changed it when it no longer makes any sense. They changed the meaning to say that the word "generation" means an era, so the era of 1914 won't pass away before Armageddon. Do you think we here living in 2007 are from the same era as those of 1914. Are people that fought in the Civil War from the same ear as those that fought in World War II? Of course not! They're playing with your mind.
  
  Their teachings don't make sense. They try to protect themselves by saying that if people make fun of them for their teaching then that just means that the Bible's prophecy about ridiculers is being fulfilled. But think about it, people mock weird religions like Scientology all the time. Does that mean that Scientology has the truth? No. Think for yourself. 10, 20, 30 years from now they'll find a new way to get around their prior teachings and keep their members thinking that Armageddon is imminent. Don't give another year of your life to this religion. Enjoy your life now. It's the only one you have.

  Right. And this was taught to us by who. You still have not answered my question: Why did you state we have a heavenly reward? http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/18/135086/2424105/post.ashx#2424105

  Stop and tell us what you think, not what you have been trained to say. It's hard I know, no-one is judging you here, we have nothing against you. Do you believe you are serving Jehovah? Or the Governing Body? They are the ones who are really calling the shots. They are the ones making up the rules. Were you raised as a jw or have you come into it later in life? If so, how do your family feel about your changes? (If they're not jw's themselves that is).

  Alot of people say " they have been saying that for years and still nothing has happen" that only means we should be grateful jehovah with his merciful self is giving us time ,plenty of time so some of us can actually pay attention to him and have a chance to live forever has he origainally intented for us to live. Why would he not keep his promise? He can do what he wants, whenever he wants, he was the one who created us. Since, his dymanite quailty is love he brings himself to our level understanding our imperfection he wants all of us to be saved.

  Well, the longer Jehober takes to start the bird-feeding, the more bird food he will create. As more people are born, subsequently more must die at this "any day now" Armageddon . Not that this is out of character; the Hebrew god really, really likes killing people and smelling the burnt flesh, so I imagine that final sizzling flesh odor must be orgasmic in intensity for old Jehober!

  When one man turns his life around to serve jehovah all the angels in heaven are rejoicing .They too wait for each one of us o find the truth not becoming a witnesse but actually reading the bible and finding out what jehovah wants us to know.Be rewarded in heaven also means we will be remembered by them and will be saved on the last day

  Do you not care that every prediction the society has ever made about this has been wrong? Do you think Jehovah would lead an organization that has never been right about any predictions it's ever made? Did Jehovah do this with Moses when he used him to lead the Isrealites out of Egypt? Did he tell Moses that he would bring about certain plagues and then not follow through? Did Moses need new light to explain why his words didn't come true?

  Ariana, the wbts claims loudly to be Jehovahs only representatives on earth. That all of his instructions come through them and then to us.

  If God is telling them that armageddon is coming in 1975 and it does not, why does he not make us aware of this through them before the date passes away, leaving us all hanging in the wind.

  If God is truly working through the wbts, his caring for us would move him to make us aware of any changes in his actions, to keep us from selling our homes and ending up destitute he would show his love for us by warnings.
