not sure if anyones posted on this topic, but it just hit me that if jesus thousand year reign started in 1914 then we are already 10% way though and no "sign of the end" yet.
can the wtbts really hold out much longer?
are we going to have to wait for 3014 for them to admitt they got it wrong?.
Nope the book 'Life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god says the end of the thousand year reign is 2975! You apostate!lol

The Jws forget this read book. i once had an elder ask me to destroy my book. i asked what canadian law reuired it> Who would enforce it?
i often download open yale courses audio for my mp3 player.
i work repatative in the morning so get 3-4 hours of courses,.
one done today on the philosephy of death made a point.. if you lived 300 years you might might still remember childhood.. 500 year childhood might be gone and by then you are not the same person you were at 50. in fat you might not even rmembe you were that person!.
Data I'm not denying cybernectic could grant a form of imortality but even if memory tranfers is true and we have hot female robots lol....
Eventually you WILL forget who you are and become a new person in less then 1000 years

1000 year the guy or girl you are is NOTHING like the person you were at 30-40-50 etc. By that time you are a renewed person many times over and likely have no memmory of your youth.
Jesus 1000 year reign is not where I want to be and the paradise after is far worse. We are better to die in the JW World
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
Suffering is crucial is Buddism
according to scripture god would not let his name be used without a form of respect.
disrespecting it would result in death itself!
some days ago i thought: you know what?
Data that's Gnosticism. Read any Marcion recently?
i'm a single hispanic guy in my mid 30s living by myself in suburban america.
i own a home in the kind of neighborhood where you have to get hoa permission to do just about anything, including chopping down a tree.
i'm a white collar worker and lead a pretty boring life.
I live in a trailer park now and have met many nice neighbours. Others not... buts thats okay they are friendly mostly.
I have a wife and son but she rarely walks around the park.
I work 200m from work. So every morning I get up and walk past many of my neighbours at 5:30am with cowboy boots on making a 'thump sound'.
No one has complained.
I'ma ham radio op. I have many antennas... no complaints.
However rereading your post the second time I have found what might be the problem. HOA<<< I don;t live in the US but I know Nazi Germany when I see it.
You are a homeowner BUT THEY are in control of YOUR property. If you want to cut a dying limb off you tree THEY need to say yes. So as such they fell since they were here first you are beneath them.
HOA.. bas situation.
Jamiebower also mentioned another reason I suspect
1) take meds for your megalomania and delusions of grandeur.. .
suggestions welcome.. .

Although I have made strong statements against religions in the past I personally see no problem with believeing in something greater then yourself (which is what spirituality is defined as) Thus I have found a study of religion facinating.
That said when born agains post here I shy away. They believe a guy from 2000 years ago lives inside there somewhere (Call a Doc. Mr. Jesus ran up my A**.) Seriously I know how they get that (the bible) but I shy way for those people nowadays. Let them live with 'Jesus in their heart'. << Maybe the cause of the next heart attack lol
there seems to be an endless number of ways to show the bible is not devinely inspired but all of it seems so complicated.
anyone know any simple arguements for this?
.
Objective I trust it in many places but doubt somethings. Don't trust everything you read of Herod for instance.
Since Josephus becomes his own main charactor later in the etxt we must be careful when you see Josephus doing heroic acts. It is a very prideful book.

I like Bart Ehrman but disagree about Jesus.
I think based on eye witness testimony there were 2 Jesus's
1. A high preist of Jerusalem in the Jewish war... his borther was named James and was executed.
2. A crazy (likely Essenes) preacher during 70CE that after crying for many days Jerusalem would fall was crush by a rock for and engine in the Roman attacks.
Don't believe me.?? Read 'War of the Jews"
- well, i'd be damned.
i'm a born in jw and never in a million years i'd thought i'd see this.
from internet is evil to website worshipping in less than a decade.
Has anyone noticed the tablets, live feeds, half the magazines original material on the web, the elders reporting things by the site?
The WBTS is becoming and internet religion quickly. The oldies are dying and the younger ones are leaving... the WT is using a last hopeful methoid.
