2014 is going to be a bad year for the Jw's once they see it is all lies.

OUTLAW

By the time 2014 arrives..

The WBT$ will have moved the goal posts..

...............................OUTLAW

A thought that always comes to my mind about "apostates". If CT Russell, Judge Rutherford, Nathan Knorr, and/or Fred Franz were to suddenly be resurrected spouting what they believed was the truth, they'd be disfellowshipped.

They and contemporary followers died believing they had "the truth" and believing what they did would earn them everlasting life. Today it would earn them a disfellowshipping.

"... often bring out points that may be true, but are taken way out of context"

Rather like the way WTBTS uses the Bible in their publications!

Them belonging to the U.N......HOW is that out of context?

Well, let's give them credit for not being wrong - yet - with their prediction that the end would come before the end of the twentieth century. Wait on...let me re-calculate how centuries are numbered....Um, let me correct myself: They were wrong in that prediction too. Oops.

2014 will be an interesting year for JWs - unless they are older and have expended so much of their lives in the organization that it would take a monumental mental effort to get out. You can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

On the other hand, 2014 will be a particularly interesting year for the younger people in the organization.

They could always drop 607BC and adopt 587BC, that should buy them another 20 years.

I just sat through a public talk to day about the coming judgment against religion by God and the Governments. Talk about irony! The brother was charismatic and had alot of jokes. The crowd was enchanted. The only problem was that everything that was said applied to the JW's equally. They are just soooo blinded because the think they have " THE TRUTH " not some, but ALL. Other religions dirty laundry was aired. There are several current sex scandals involving the Catholic Church that were mentioned. He mentioned all the child abuse, and even talked about the Catholic Church's efforts to stop the abuse of childre by setting up programs and by requiring background checks. He then said from the stage, " Brother *****, did you have a background check? No, of course not, because none are needed. That's not who we are." I was transfixed. The speaker probably thought my eye contact was due to admiration and awe, like the rest of the audience. I was dumbfounded by what I was hearing. Candace Conti?!?!?!? Have you ever heard of her?!?!? All i could think was, " My God, they are going to be totally caught off guard when WTBTS is destroyed, ( I think it will be ) they have NO clue what is going on...". I told my wife that I wish I was recording the talk. She said, a little snarkily, " I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY SOMETHING...". Hey, that shows that she picked up on it right? There may be some hope for her, time will tell I guess.

If the WT study today is an example of safeguarding your mind then, OMG!! I don't know if I can sit through another convention, but I will do it as an observer, and in the interests of exposing thier hypocrisy. I will let Blondi handle the WT summary! It was full of half-truths about " The Truth ". I wonder what people thought as I sat there hi-lighting scriptures while reading ' The Harp of God ' and writing down Strong's numbers?.....

We need to safeguard our minds alright!!!

they should have thought about that 20 years ago it probably would have worked

2 generation changes later it wouldn't really make much difference
