on oct. 22, eight brothers were released from prison in turkmenistan by presidential amnesty.

(see 2014 yearbook, p. 31) the ninth brother is still imprisoned, but it is hoped that he will be released shortly.

some were already in prison for three or more years and had been severely mistreated.

With all those studies, why so few baptized?

I am confused on the JW's 1000 year reign doctrine. Please explain it to me.

i have always thanked randy/dogpatch for creating free-minds because i always felt i was the only one that felt that jw's were teaching some nonsense.

i admit i still think they got some of their teachings correct but one doctrine i think is full of bologne is the 1000 year reign doctrine.

if jesus came into power in 1914 and now it is 2014 does that mean jws believe it will only be a 900 year reign?

months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

here's my first comment on that thread:.

i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

remember getting the sense that when armageddon final comes everyone will "have to know" that it was jehovah?.

the big "told you so".

probably on christmas to boot.... .

Desperately hoping something is true, does not true, make it.

Honestly, who would want to go through the WT's version of Armageddon or the Great Tribulation.

Why did we always secretly hope it would come during the prayer on Sunday afternoon's convention?

So sad.
