    Hello Blondie,

    Just a few words to congratulate you. A nicely written comment,

    logical and with many thought provoking points. May I add

    that the theme should have been : " Jimmy ...will fix it!"

    Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

    More SOONerism and NEARism by the Borg mouthpiece.

    Count the number of times we have heard that the end is SOON and NEAR since the Watchtower started.

    The carrot is well and truly hanging over the donkey still...

    Jgnat,
    guess I only had to wait a little while

    Someone was nice enough to volunteer to send me the study articles. I figured I should honor their efforts. So as long as they send them and my stomach can take it….

    Shamus,

    At least you didn’t have to sit for an hour and look interested in the material like some do on this board. I think we could hand out quite a few Oscars.

    Greven

    , even only 2 years ago the WTS would at least put an asterisk and in the footnote refer the reader to another WTS publication. No longer. I guess they figured out the JWs never look it up, except for that one goody-two-shoes sister with the prune face.

    kgfreeperson , the elders have long combined field service with shepherding calls. Pioneers do that too but it was called "making an encouraging call" on a missing JW. They count the time too.

    Legion

    , very good point. Jesus was accused of curing by means of the Devil’s power.
    "Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
    In the same way, if Satan expels Satan, he has become divided against himself; how, then, will his kingdom stand?

    Klaus

    , I too am 3 rd generation JW. Your profile is in French but your name is so German? Thanks.

    Jgnat

    ,

    Panic is the look most rank and file JWs get on their face when an elder approaches. The only time an elder approaches is to "correct" never to "commend."

    JeffT

    , good point about how many hours to make one convert. It reminds me of

    Matthew

    15

    "Woe to YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because YOU traverse sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he becomes one YOU make him a subject for Ge·hen´na twice as much so as yourselves.

    Yes, I put that point in my review. Fear not love reigns at the KH.

    JC, Thanks. Praise from you is high praise indeed.

    Noumenon, I have actually done a search of my WT-CD to see how often such phrases occur. Of course, it only goes back to 1950.

    Very good, Estee. Fear of being disfellowshipped is the big bogey.

    Panda, click on the image in the edit that looks like an eraser between the paste and attach icons.

    Run don’t walk, a nice poster has been sending me the study articles. I hope they can keep doing so without it being a burden.

    Glad your back Blondie. I rely on your commentaries to get me through. I really appreciate your efforts and I hope you can keep it up.

    Words that no JW should be allowed to use:

    1. SOON

    2. NEAR AT HAND; SO CLOSE AT HAND

    3. EVIDENTLY

    4. APPARENTLY

    We just don't know the meaning of those words, otherwise we would not use them.

    Also, without them, we would have no doctrine at all.....

    Hi wannaexit. Wish you could leave too. For me it became more painful to stay than to leave.

    ohappyday, great catch on those buzzwords. Likely and "it appars" are 2 more.

    I always say it translates to: The Bible doesn't say but we are the FDS so it is just as good, but just in case our "predictions" don't work out, we can say we only said "apparently."

    Blondie
