    I guess WT will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Jesus INVISIBLE presence....the GB will make a great party, in Beth Sarim Mansion,(inside informations revealed to me that the Org has bought back Judge Jo's Villa) with fireworks, and pop corns, cakes, and CLOWNS....

    Yeah about 12 CLOWNS they will make people laugh to death. 12 old Clowns that all they do is making themselves fools, for many years,starting from 1942(after Booze Jo died the GB was formed by Knorr)

    I think they ran out of options to completely abandon 1914 in favor of 1957 or 1971 (to correct the 607 date to 586, and to adjust "a day for a year" meaning 365 days instead of 360. Otherwise, they would have ditched it like they did 1874. I wonder how many active witlesses even know that 1874 was supposed to be a special year.

    Actually, the WTS has been wandering since 1879 make it 21 + 100 + 10 = 131 years.

    Blondie I may be wrong but 131 years of days is 47,815 which - again i may be a bit out here - is equivalent to the distance in meters between the Furman St building and the new compound in Warwick NY - thus fulfilling the anti-typical 'wandering' before entering the Promised Land.

    The end is near. Praise Jah you unbelievers. And bow down as well.

    131 days is also just over 4 months. It is now April, the fourth month of the year. Armageddon is mere weeks away!!!!

    Doesn't he read the Watchtower?

    Nope! He doesn't know half of what this religion teaches. I suspect a lot of people don't keep up with a ton of stuff because it always changes. They hold onto a couple of scriptures like Matt. 24:14 and convince themselves that it has to be the truth because of that and have no idea of what is going on everywhere else...

    Right now he doesn't do to much with the religion. Just attends most meetings. Although we missed both mtgs this week.

    I suspect he is going to be ultra spiritual that year and then when it doesn't come he will probably lose interest in the truth altogether or just do bare minimum like he has been to keep his connections with his friends.

    Response from Pres. Nathrick Knorranz:

    The responses on this message board--clearly an apostate source of information--make evident who make up the "evil slave" in modern times. Those who mock Jehovah's representatives will soon find out just how wrong they are. "Destruction for them is not slumbering," the scripture says. Note the July 15, 2010 Watchtower, page 6:

    "Sadly, though, some have become casual or even cynical about reminders concerning the need to stay awake. 'We have heard that same reminder for decades,' they may say. However, those individuals should keep in mind that by making such remarks, they are actually questioning Jehovah and his Son, not just the faithful slave class. "Keep in expectation," Jehovah said. (Hab. 2:3) Likewise, Jesus stated, "Keep on the watch...because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." (Matt. 24:42) In addition, Peter wrote: "What sort of persons ought you to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah!" (2 Pet. 3:11, 12) Never will the faithful slave class and its Governing Body take a casual view of those earnest words!

    "Indeed, it is the "evil slave" who concludes that the Master is delaying. (Matt. 24:48) That evil slave is part of a group described at 2 Peter 3:3, 4. "In the last days," wrote Peter, "there will come ridiculers" who, "according to their own desires," mock those who obediently keep Jehovah's day close in mind. Yes, rather than focus on Kingdom interests, such ridiculers focus on themselves and on their own selfish desires. Let us never develop such a disobedient and dangerous frame of mind! Rather, may we "consider the patience of our Lord as salvation" by keeping busy in the Kingdom-preaching and disciple-making work and by not being overly anxious about the timing of events that belongs to Jehovah God.--2 Pet. 3:15; read Acts 1:6, 7."

    Response from sd-7:

    I'm all for keeping awake. But YOU telling ME to "not [be] overly anxious about the timing of events that belongs to Jehovah God"? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA! THAT, coming from YOU, I DO ridicule. Maybe they should just start burning old Watchtowers after 5 years. That'll make it easier to make statements like that. Jesus--who is largely absent from the majority of that discussion--also said, "Many will come on the basis of my name, saying....'The due time has approached.' Do not go after them." (Luke 21:7) By ignoring Jesus' direction and listening to the faithful slave class, I would be questioning Jehovah and his Son ANYWAY. I think I'll err on the side of Jesus, thank you very much.

    See? Who doesn't love a fair, low-blow-aiming debate?

    P.S. JWs will likely respond that Noah preached for 120 years before the flood, so...talk to me in 2034, if you're not a smoking cinder of wickedness by then. Rot in Gehenna, you son of the Devil. Have a nice day!
