  VILLABOLO- It's very true like you say alot of newbie witnesses who have joined the cult in the last 20 years or so are not aware of many of these failed predictions by the WT ociety. The WT society does it's utmost to cover up and bury any past failings. They don't admit mistakes, very rarely.

  ANGEL EYES- It's one thing wanting to worship Jehovah- a total OTHER thing trusting a magazine printing company. I'm sure like you say many Jehovah's Witnesses are well meaning in wanting to serve God in spirit and truth- but they aren't being led that way by the WT society. They ARE being deceived. The evidence is abundant the WT society is misleading people.

  SOUR GRAPES- So now you have grandchildren and you were told you'd never finish high school in this system ? Good point. I rest my case.

  LEAVING WT- I too used to go door to door telling people that very soon within just a short few years that a paradise would be here. I feel bad that I participated in that deception of the public like you. But now we are free to tell people the REAL truth.

  OUTLAW- I agree, the WT society deceived everybody- even themselves. They are corrupt.

  DIGDERIDOO- I hear you. We have lost many years - too many of us to this mind control cult. So I'm glad you are living your life pursuing an education to prosper. We were all promised a pipe dream.

  SON of MAN- If you are the " faithful slave " - then I'm Barack Obama . I don't need to " allow you to set the thinking straight. " With all your random word slinging you jumble points together like a convoluted mass of rocks hoping to smooth them out in meaning. You stated that " from the year 1914 90 years later is when Jesus took his throne " ? You mean 2004 ? What makes you guess THAT date ? Nothing special happened that year. I think you are as deluded as the WT society. Or half out of your mind - either way.

  TREADNH2O- I agree. Any religion wrth it's salt WOULd NOT change it's core beliefs like the " generation " teaching 3 times in 15 years and expect to be taken seriously. They are just grasping at straws to keep people from leaving .

  BILLY the EX-BETHELITE- Good points you make about them still going by the " Reasoning Book " and it teaches the 1914 doctrine still. There is no way the WT society is correct. They are desperately trying to hang onto members by switching their teachings to accomodate unfulfilled expectations

  The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an underseamegathrustearthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on December 26, 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake. [3] [4] The resulting tsunami itself is given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Asian Tsunami, Indonesian Tsunami, and Boxing Day Tsunami.

  The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunami along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing nearly 230,000 people in eleven countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand were the hardest hit.

  With a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3, it is the second largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. This earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 cm (0.4 inches) [5] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. [6]

  The plight of the many affected people and countries prompted a widespread humanitarian response. In all, the worldwide community donated more than $7 billion (2004 U.S. dollars) in humanitarian aid.

  Happy to meet you Barack Obama.....where were you when the Tsumani or "Great Flood" occurred? I stated, give or take months.....March 11, 2005 was the exact date Christ begin to reign.......is coincides with the rebuilding of the Temple

  In the second year of the coming to the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak with the rest of their brothers, the priests and the Lévites and all who came from the captivity of Jerusalem, began. They appointed the Lévites from twenty years old and older to supervise the work on the house of Yahweh.

  1 And a reed like a rod was given me as he said: “Get up and measure the temple [sanctuary] of God and the altar and those worshiping in it. 2 But as for the courtyard that is outside the temple [sanctuary], cast it clear out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3 And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.” 4 These are [symbolized by] the two olive trees and the two lampstands and are standing before the Lord of the earth.

  So Christ began reigning on the floor of the Indian Ocean in 2004? Wait, wouldn't he have started reigning when Krakatoa erupted about 100 years ago? No, maybe it was after the global financial meltdown last year and when flipper was elected to the White House?

  If it's time for anything... it's time for "Son of Man" to take his meds again. Jeez, you're not even close to being on topic anymore.

  Anyway, it's amazing how "this generation" totally disappeared from the JW radar a decade ago. Now, it's always about the FDS and GB foretelling THE END SOON! It lacks any kind of authenticity or spirituality. It's just authoritarian and has no appeal to the public.

  WHATEVER.......why not give matters a rest in regard to the W.T.S. and move on? Who are you trying to rescue? All faiths will be acknowledged even all forms of belief.......

  This complaining about the W.T.S. has been going on for years and they are still in existance. let GOD handle all matters upon the earth. That is where your faith could make a great deal of good. Put your trust in GOD and not noble man.It is that simple...

  Have a good afternoon.

  Edited: Apologies to Flipper, I was a little bit of a smart @$$ there, I don't want to add to the mayhem.

  I just wanted to express my appreciation for the content and intent of the original post. It cuts through the BS. We were lied to. As with all JW dogma, its important to believe lock stock and barrel when its "current light." But when it falls by the wayside as "old light", replaced by "new light", its like it never mattered.

  The hell it didn't!

  SoM,

  This is Jehovahs-Witness.net, it's about JW's, Watchtower Corporation teachings, practices, etc. Haven't you figured that out?

  Billy, you seem to be an individual full of sarcasm and just plain rudeness. How about you create a thread and debate me, the faithful and discreet slave. Leave the sarcasm at the doror and I will reveal to all everything that I have seen and expereinced. It is beyond anyones imagination and even in their wildest dream. For instance whil lying in my bed I was awakened by a man that bore the image of satan the devil. It was quite frightening to say the least. On top of that I plainly state that the ALMIGHTY GOD is with me at all times, when I wake, when I sleep, and even when I dream. I am in communication with the spirits at all times especially the Heavenly Father. This even included the one known as satan the devil. We have a different name for the beast which is equivalent to what a female dog is referred to.

  The choice is yours, take it or leave it. I already know your answer.

  One final note, this is how simple the Almighty operates. In order to disguise my fear while being in the company of many demons, He had my keep my hair down with gel in order to prevent my hair from standing on end. Also, in order to keep me alert He had me sniff a common bacterial hand cleanser to revive me. While under the power of the spirit is creates a daze or sleepiness affect, as the brain receives constant communications from outside sources. This is the same as studying for a test, it causes fatigue and weariness. That is what it feels like in similarity.

  <<<Michael is derived from Ishmael>>>>

  No, it's not, dumbass, Ishmael and Samuel are the same name, Not Michael and Ishmael.

  Excelent thread mr. flipper! i hope it does not get distracted and it will get some real on-the-point response.

  SoM: dude, its just to darn hard to argue with a guy to whom god speaks personally... why dont you create a thread and talk a bit about your personal experinces? that stuff about the gel sounds like sound advice.
