i just need help about these...are these true?

Momofmany

I'm not into defending anything, just to pointing out you are making things a bit more changing than they really are.

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't need to add where it shouldn't be. Maybe what I remember is not written. But I do remember my mom talking, and my dad saying, if the Russans come down our street, I'll get my guns out and protect our home. (dad was not a witness, but mom told him they were coming) .

Prophecies and 'end'

hey ya people,.

about the 7 global powers or something, and America now are the last superpower before the world ends, (anglo-saxon or something...)

I may be showing my age here, but here it goes. It used to be that America/Englad was the 6th, and Russia was the 7th. And Russia was going to overthrow America, and then the end. The Russia became the UN, and the UN was going to take over the USA, and then the end.

Anyone know of any other way it went?

Point I am trying to make is, they keep changing how it is going to end. I was never going to live long enough to graduate from high school. My son is now graduating. They keep saying, it's right around the corner. Now it's nose is peeking around the corner. What ever it takes to scare people from leaving.

Read, read, and read some more. Knowledge is power.

Are you living your life fully knowing that you will one day die?

as jw's it was out of the question to die.

the end was too close for that to happen, unless you had a bad accident or sickness.

most of us believed that we wouldn't die, and on top of that we were about to become young again.. since we will all die, do you make it a priority in your life right now to live it fully, and to love fully the ones you care for because every day you skip, its lost and won't come back..

Oh yes. I stop at road side stands now. We drove to Florida from Jersey, and I stopped at all the tourist traps. I saw the natural bridge, and lover's leap. Next summer we are driving out to the Grand Canyon. I'm more spontaneous now.

Do the Witnesses Still Go Door to Door?

by tfsm in

i have lived at my current address for approximately five years and i have not had any visits from the witnesses.

i don't really want any but here's the deal: i left "the truth" about fifteen years ago.

i wasn't disfellowshipped or anything and (since i moved to another state) it was a relatively clean break.

Momofmany

Just wanted to say thanks. You guys are such a big help all the time. Cygnus, thanks for the scripture. I know next time she brings it up, I'm going to use it. Owe ya one.

My Mom and I were arguing this point the other day. She states that only witnesses, ever, since Christ's time, went door to door. That no one else ever has, or ever will do the same thing. She got her 50 hrs in last month, and is there this month. Of course, she counts the time she talks to me.

So yes, they still go door to doo.
