  i was in a car accident in a fatality.

  without going into detail i wasnt found in the wrong.

  alcohol and poor judgement were involved with the other party.

  The elders are going to remind you to make more meetings and do more preaching so that things like that will not happen to you.

  Meetings, preaching and prayer is the solution to everything according to them.

  Could it be the number of jw under 5 million?

  by Crazyguy in

  i was thinking about this last night, in the year book they publish the number or peak and average publishers.

  as we know a publisher could simply be a child getting out in service regularly.

  if two parents baptized have to small children that are publishers then they are counted as four.

  8 million JW's ...not much considering they have been around for 140 years and knocking on doors and preaching that long.

  Hardly any witnesses in China, Russia,India, Middle East.

  So really they they have not much to brag about and it will get worse as old timers will start dyin off at greater numbers.

  I need some input: I have come to the conclusion my wife blames me for her lack of spirituality

  by goingthruthemotions in

  so lately my wife and i have been arguing alot.

  not big arguments...but more of a bickering.. you see, over the last year i have stepped down as an ms and we moved halls.

  last november was around the time i woke.. during this time we still have family studies....but only from the bible.

  Of course she blames you...that's what wives do in the "truth" you are the spiritual head and if things are not right or going well the finger is pointed at you and somehow they start feeling they don't have Jehovah's blessing because once again you do not take the truth seriously.

  Don't have the answer for you, i went through the same thing and ended up in divorce after 26 years.

  Good luck and wish you the best.

  GB Doesn’t Believe in 1914 Anymore – My reasoning

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.

  this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.

  there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.

  I believe that GB knows most of their teaching are not bible based and they live in a fantasy world and down deep they know they are just another religion with its own interpretation and that "Jehovah God " has nothing to do with them.

  In due time they will eliminate the blood doctrines and maybe even the knocking on doors in order to be accepted...

  Mormons have been doing that for a long time, their prophet continues to get " New Rvelations".

  My appeal was successful. Now what?

  by noonehome in

  faders: why do we bother staying in?.

  we cling to some false hope that people we love will accept us despite our not believing, even though its as much a fairytale as the dogmas based on untruths.. ive never been anything but a good friend and human being and would do anything for the people i love; i couldnt dream of shutting out someone i care about.

  and its not like theyd revel in the idea of doing it either, yet its seen as not just the only choice, but also as undoubtedly the right thing to do.

  back in the old days i used to hear talk about these kings.

  are they still teaching anything about these kings in daniel as it pertains to the " time of the end?".

  That's the book that blew my mind in 70s. It made me feel that the society had all the details about the future and was being used by the creator to reveal the truth to mankind.

  Got sucked in in 75 and in four month after the start of the bible study made a decision to get baptized.

  32 years later realized the "truth" was nothing but a load of crap.

  some time ago this couple who had been in the circuit work disappeared--was this the greatest ever fade or what?.

  they were remarkable for kindness and good sense.

  and humility.

  Lived in Franklin TN and had them over for dinner quite a few times. Very loving couple.

  I wonder if someone calls Bethel and ask about them and whether they would give out that information where they might be!

  Jewish Exodus from Egypt - Documatary - 20 Jun 2013

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have received a link from a friend of mine, he is a baptist pastor.. link address is here.. the article title is: if you dont think the jewish exodus from egypt was real, then watch this video and think again.

  the important or interesting thing in this youtube video is that it has some evidence, as the researcher claims, that the exodus happened and the red sea split into two in addition to evidence of egyptian army died at the location.. the documentary is 1 hour 24 minutes long.. .

  apologies if this was posted previously but i ran a search and couldnt identify similar one.. as some of you know i am a born-in active jw with a mind of his own!.

  Many books written for it and against it that i've seen.

  Don't believe that it happened...40 years in the wilderness, 3 million people, there should be plenty of evidence and writings.

  500 of them might be from "apostate" wanting to discuss the doctrines of JW that don't make any sense.

  it has been a while since i've seen a witness, either in person or virtually.

  searching for someone on facebook took me to the profile of a ministerial servant that i know.

  i scrolled through his wall to see who is still around and found this gem:.

  It's something new that the watchtower is pushing and there is a frenzy going on.

  Eventually it will fade and it's back to regular business.

  The END is around the corner and it's been since 1870.
