Hi greybeard. Let's just say for arguments sake they did indeed choose that year to reveal that new light, what is the significance do you think?
Just wondering why that date with all it's end of time implications would matter to them, is all.

To me this seams like more than a coincidence ...
by Greybeard insorry if this has been discussed before.... for a few days now, this question has been going through my mind.
what was the date the governing body took the sole role of the faithful and discreet slave and how close was it to the end of the mayan calendar in december of 2012?
i looked it up on jwfactes.com and sure enough, checkout the date on this article:.

"Fa La La"
by OnTheWayOut inout at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.
she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".
i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.

Pity the average dub doesn't whip out the smart phone for a quick fact check while reading WT literature or listening to a talk. -

To all JDub lurkers: How can you continue to preach knowing that you are telling lies?
by macys inthis is a damn serious question.
you must know by now that jerusalem was not destroyed in 607 bce and that 607 was initially picked by ct russell by using his "pyramid scheme" measurements.
there is no hiding these facts yet you continue to preach this nonsense.

Why preach lies you know are lies? It's called being a Jdub.
Going in service but not preaching the lies is like smoking pot and saying " I don't inhale."

The whole atmosphere of the cong is "arbitrary and capricious."
Who get's df or just a slap on the wrist. Who they string out for reinstatement and who they let back in quickly.
There was a MS in my hall who was having an extramarital affair and got busted he was df and after 6months reinstated and everyone in the hall went crowding around to give him a hug yet this young girl who faded away and started living with a guy they hounded her until they finally dfed her in absentia. When she made an effort to be reinstated they made her wait a couple of years and everyone treated her like trash even when she eventually got reinstated.
It's not just disciplinary matters either. Who gets appointed via the fast track and who they hold back.
Half the time there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to many of their decisions. And has little to do with "repentance" or "heart condition" or "obedience to those taking the lead" or any such thing.
And that folks is how the GB like it - keep the sheeple confused not knowing which way is up.

Have you got a cow that you could sell ?

Ironic huh - sheeple selling a cow.
I am noticing a theme developing in theses videos.
In a WT article a kid's fluffy little white dog goes "missing" when the fam move to slave where the "need is great."
Now this kid sells his cow (wtf!) so pop can volunteer at bethel or whatever...hmmm.

I fail to see your point
Cognac was right - nunya business to begin with.
What these people decided to relate concerning their own experience at their own JC again - nunya business.
People can witness the same event and remember things differently. Happens all the time.
Have you been on the other side of a JC ? Fear can play a factor in how you remember things.
I could go on, but my point is that there seems to be so much here you have failed to consider.
I am more honest with myself now than I ever was as a myopic Jw.

Music can be a powerful tool in the indoctrination sessions.
Expect any loved ones that attend the meetings to go into cult hyperdrive over this.

Unfortunately most don't wake up and smell the cult until they are mauled by the borg personally in some way.
I saw things happen to others over years and all the cult responses kicked in. But, when "what goes around came around" (as the saying goes) did I start to see things from the perspective of the ones that had been hurt, disfellowshipped, marginalized and demonized.
