  WTS: creative days took aeons - WT Feb 15th, 2011

  by undercover in

  there's already a couple of threads discussing this particular issue of kool-aid version of the wt, but i just had to start another after reading about the creative days mentioned in this issue.. we debate from time to time if the wts has ever officially retracted their doctrine that the earth and all things created are less than 50,000 years old.

  there's been some quotes that show them waffling on the age of the planet itself but still sort of holding to the notion of all creation happening within a defineable 7 day period.

  how long is a creative day?

  Smiddy - that's how I understood it too. I thought it made sense.

  now is a good time to start making preparations for the memorial night demonstration at your kingdom hall sunday, april 17, 2011, after sundown.

  the evils of the watchtower org.have to be exposed and this is an ideal time to do it.

  many around the world have been adversely affected by their association with jehovah's witnesses.

  i am sure that this question as been asked before.

  when i think of my life now,a lovely kind beautiful wife, two happy healthy kids, good job, nice home, real friends.

  yes since i left the jws almost twenty years ago i can honestly say i have lived my life.. when i eventually left the death by bordem cult ... i had nothing, a loveless marraige i only stayed in because of the jws, no friends, no home to call my own, in debt, i had a wife who was so depressed she shooped to make herself happy.

  One thing's for sure. My marriage to Clyde would be over. It was almost over as it was because I was far behind him in fading, and he was about ready to lose it. Strange how things work out. I would have lost Clyde, but I wouldn't have lost my father, brother, daughter, son-in-law, niece, and several cousins. But I have a stronger relationship with my two sons and their wives.

  what flipflops caused you to think?

  by cheerios in

  while posting on another thread, i thought of this.

  for me, it was the "we never said you couldn't go to college" flipflop in the mid 1990s.

  when ofc we all know that to be an utter lie.. now that i think about it, their literature is written with future flipflopping mind.

  Alternative service - I read the WT article, early 1998, about "Feelings of having suffered needlessly" and it justified the brothers who had suffered imprisonment for not going into the military rather than accepting alternative service. I remember mentioning to Clyde that I'd have been ticked if I had to go to prison and later find out that it wasn't really necessary. That year I started reading the WT more critically and gave more attention to what was said in the talks at the KH.

  When I finally began investigating on the Internet, my belief system started toppling like dominoes.

  Don't spend your money on health care. Die sooner and leave your money to the WT because we need your money.

  Para 8: "In this time of the end, Christ has committed “all his belongings”— all the earthly interests of the Kingdom— to his “faithful and discreet slave” and its representative Governing Body, a group of anointed Christian men. (Matt. 24:45-47) The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body,they are in fact following their Leader, Christ."

  Couldn't the pope and "heads" of the other religions just claim that they are also "in fact following their Leader, Christ." - see para.1.

  Why did the WTBS endorse 1975?

  by jay88 in

  is it not true that the leaders knew that it was a blatant lie when the 1975 teaching was propagated in the 60's?.

  I'm not so the WTS leaders knew that their 1975 hype was a lie.

  In Crisis of Conscience, Ray Franz says that when the end didn't come in 1975 as anticipated, the GB scrambled to try to figure out what had gone wrong.

  This indicates that they really believed it themselves, probably because they believed that Freddy was a genuine Bible scholar.

  So do you think that Freddy knew it was a lie?

  I tried using magicJack with my windows system. I use a Verizon wireless card. It didn't work well at all. The quality was poor. Another thing: when I tried calling my companies 800 line, I got another company. A friend had recommended magicJack to me. He even came over to our house, and he couldn't figure out the problem either. He uses Comcast, but it's not available where I live.

  i saw a very long thread on answerbag answering the above question in which there are several jws responding and denyng vehemently what is said in the question.

  in some places being quite rude to people.

  the dialogue highlighted yellow is me, the text highlighted blue is someone who is agreeing that the jws did preach this.

  Their own literature condemns them - no matter how hard they try to wriggle out of it afterwards: One of many examples being The Watchtower of August 15 1968, which even ran an article entitled "Why are you looking forward to 1975?"

  I remember the excitement of that article too. Interestingly, when I mentioned this to my son-in-law about five years ago, he told me I was wrong. He said his family came into the "truth" about 1975, and they never heard anything about Armageddon coming in 1975. I believe what Witness 007 said above is true, that they started to downplay it earlier that year.

  However, it was this conversation that ended my relationship with son-in-law, daughter, my father and several other relatives, and it branded me as an apostate.
