  Yawn... I log back in late at night to check this thread hoping to read something intriguing only to see more sewage mixed in with anything remotely sane. It's worse than the most repugnant tabloid garbage. It's no wonder so few, if anyone who's never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses poke their nose in here. Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses are worse than their original condition. You people are trash. I guess it's beyond you to fix this broken condition.

  I guess you've run out of the necessary steam to attempt a half-intelligent response to posts by TD, jonathan dough and me, huh Spade?

  wobble

  JW Apologists are like a spinning top, they need someone to start them off, (WT thoughts, not their own) then they spin for a while ( a web of intellectual deceit), and then they topple over.

  Like a spinning top draws the eye, they draw our attention to their blather, and before long after they have been toppled, they are doing exactly the same spin again.

  Good harmless fun though.

  Black Sheep

  Black Sheep, am I becoming the black sheep of JWN?

  JW apologists need all the help they can get. They won't get any from me. Ever. Period.

  Burn them, Spade! Burn the heretics! Write those fiery verses on thy sword and conquer the heathens! The Lord is thy might and thy refuge! Embark on this glorious crusade into the far lands of the Internet...and don't forget your Prozac after you wake up.

  Spade: Opponents of Jehovah’s Witnesses like Carl O. Jonsson are often duplicitous as to their fundamental core beliefs,

  Actually, it's the Watchtower Society that has been proven to be duplicitous. Here is a great example provided by the superb website www.jwfacts.com
  http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/failed-1914-predictions.php:
  
  "One of the most misleading statements in Watchtower publications is that they accurately foretold 1914 to be the "start" of the conclusion of this system of things. In reality, 1914 had consistently been predicted to be the "end" of the system of things."
  What the Watchtower said prior to 1914
  "But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 July 15 p.226 "
  
  "The year A.D. 1878, being the parallel of his assuming power and authority in the type, clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord...." Studies in the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come p.239
  What the Watchtower claims it said prior to 1914
  "Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 January 22 p.8
  
  
  "The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence?that Jesus' presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914. Events since that year testify to Jesus' presence. ? Jehovah's Witnesses have consistently shown from the Scriptures that the year 1914 marked the beginning of this world's time of the end and that "the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men" has drawn near." Watchtower 1993 January 15 pp.5,9
  
  There are a dozen quotes similar to this on his website proving the deception.
  
  
  In other words, before 1914 the WTS said one thing, then when that proved false, after 1914 they denied having made the earlier claim.

  jonathan dough,

  Just wondering if you read Alice's last post where she describes your efforts as:

  Yawn... I log back in late at night to check this thread hoping to read something intriguing only to see more sewage mixed in with anything remotely sane. It's worse than the most repugnant tabloid garbage.

  And then concludes with:

  You people are trash.

  Actually, Spade/Alice is absolutely right. Those Watchtower quotes are in fact sewage.

  LOL

  "Repugnant" has always been its favourite word, no matter what it posts as.

  (Alice/Rachel/Spade/Consfearacy.......and whatever the next persona will be.....Now that its been found out again, I think its getting ready to dump the Spade persona and start another one.)

  Spade - you are one CLASSIC example of why we are no longer, or have never become part of, nor will ever return to the WTS.
