Public Talk Outlines

by Lady Lee in

i have been collecting the public talk outlines.

i have almost all of them but there are a few missing.

i have tiles for some but just numbers for others.

I'm wondering where the subject/title of these outlines originated? I'm pretty sure they can be categorized in the book of Homilies...

Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

by dissonance_resolved in

so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

Dissonance_resolved,

thanks for sharing. I hope all is well

JWs AND THE OCCULT!

to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.

also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.

Russell was dumped because of his Masonic connections.....period.

not to mention stealing the '360 days in a year' from the Millerites...purely astrological....but I digress.

Most of us posting on this site came to know the truth about the truth by conducting countless hours of individual studying outside of the material presented by the WTBTS.

The underlining meaning behind the material ADJUSTMENTS has posted requires countless hours of researching what is truly being hidden, since the word occult means hidden.

unfortunately, the thread took a quick detour from the real message with a focus on a 'triangle shaped roof'.

I worked 3 years on the RBC....nothing occult about the roofs....but the number of Masonic references in the previous version of the NWT is surprising...

compare Hosea 12:14 (new vs. old NWT)...they've gotten rid of most of Russell's Masonic connections...

there are many dots that connect to the ultimate truth...the subject of this post is one small dot in a larger picture...

talk- the voice of jehovah is powerful.

Tiktaalik,

I AM PREDICTING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I'm merely asking/suggesting that based on the upcoming events, the end of an age, 2160 yrs is coming to an end and a NEW age will be starting.

the bible writers were nothing but astrologers. Both Micheal Angelo and Divinci amongst many other people smarter than me made that clear. I've made an observation using astrology as a premise.

The subject of this post ends with a question mark. A question is being asked from the point of view of those who believe in the Bible (I sure as heck don't) I made no statement predicting the end of the world.

Just trying to shed some "LIGHT" on the subject of end times and end of the world crap.

And as a corollary to this subject, you ever wonder why the WTBTS use the word 'light' when talking about gaining more knowledge?....

SECRET SIGN FOR FADERS

by Bob_NC in

faders need a secret sign to use at the khall.

the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.

if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.

Maat13

Great idea. How do you keep the secret secret?....

If Someone Mocks Jehovah's Witnesses Does That Bother You?

every once in a while i hear people purposely make fun of jws, calling them hovas, jeehoovers, etc.

i don't think that's a good way to reach them..

Maat13

There are a number church organizations that create printed material that shed light on the truth about the JW's. I'm sure a sermon goes along with that material...
