I started reading this thread without looking to see it started 2 years ago. Ha.
Good resurrection of the same silly belief and hope that almost everyone is bird food.
on another forum, somebody mentioned that there is a growing belief with those high up in watchtower hierarchy that the great tribulation will begin april 3, 2015. evidently, one has to check the skycharts for that date and compare with 33 ceand also compare with the history of jws for past 40, 80, 120 years.
dont ask me to verify the rumor...these things come and go.
im sure lots of people in hq believe all sorts of things.. .

The men pulling this off seemed tipsy.
Or is it just me?
2 the judgment is there stop shunning and jehovahs burning anger will turn back continue and you will fall into the judgment of romans chap 2 .
jw have announced that they will no longer be doing door to door as they have realized that the door to door salesman is on a decline.. now they will be putting all of their effort into cold calling via a telephone as they feel this will be more effective means to reach people.
jw call centers will be set up at local kingdom halls so that all jw will now reach out to people via a hard copy of the yellow pages and white pages.
they have seen the success of telemarketers and can't wait to try out this new and revolutionary way to reach people via a telephone.
I was thinking. ...wow! Really? Then i read on and realized this is satire...
Maybe i would go back if service was just text messaging. Ha. Nah
this book was suggested to me.
i couldn't put it down.
it isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all.
That is true. They will balk my husband did. I just said that if the shoe fits ...oh well. Some JWs admit that men sneak in and abuse the sheep and the weeds grow with the wheat...you all know the phrases. So since they don't have a book out yet to help the victims deal with the trauma of such wolves .....well they force me to read my therapists recommendations.
The book is not a recruitment to any religion just a healing reminder of the damage people do to each other in the name of spirituality and how Jesus positioned himself against it. I especially underlined the sentences saying, "The person pointing out the problem is NOT the problem "
i am going to leave it in the bathroom. :-) he won't be able to resist reading what I read and underlined.

This book was suggested to me. I couldn't put it down. It isn't aimed at any religion but it does peg the abuse factor within them all. If you have JW family you can keep the book laying around or underline key points and they cannot balk since it isn't apostate.
the authors are, David Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderen
let me know what you think.
the borg might not fall and disappear, but it's sure heading into the oblivion.
they predicted their future in last week's study.. last week during the cong book study they mentioned the following:.
15. to illustrate: a supertanker or a freight train might be awesome in terms of size and power.
I agree with many here on the matter of kids leaving for these reasons
1. There are no JW dating potentials.
2. JW Kids are depressed losing the normal JW friends to the "world"
3. Kids are on the Internet and are not scared of apostates the way the old timers are.
4. Kids have no patience for the hate speeches of the anti gay rhetoric. Since many are friends with gay kids in school.
5. Meetings are boring to them.
6. Tons of their JW parents are getting divorced leaving kids more open to their own minds and losing respect for authority.
7. They want money. Education is necessary for that. I think the parents want their kids to have money too since they are carrying the burden of their own parents ....who were suppose to never die.
8. Being a JW is not fun. No activities and the halls are mostly fighting each other now so not as many are getting together. At least where i am from.
9. Other JW kids have successful double lives. They recruit too. LoL
10. Teen JW girls do not want the male dominated life they watched their mother serve. Chauvanists are out.
11. The website and tv channel are not impressive to the young people. I would say the tv shows are ridiculous to them and the web site is just a normal web site not a miracle.
12. any new teens that stay in and marry in will have an even higher divorce and df rate then i am watching their parents have.
13. Teens cant even dry hump without getting dfd. ....lol. neither can adults. ..Loop hole gone.
