Armageddon Car

by OnTheWayOut in

how many of you bought a nice sedan, suv, or even a minivan back in the days that you described as your "armageddon car" that you would care for and it would last until the end arrived?.

i was driving a 1974 plymouth volare wagon in 1992 when i managed to get an 8-year old buick century.

it was low mileage and had a very luxurious interior.

in 1974, an effort was made to get me interested in the cult again: an elder offered to come and discuss it with me one night a week. This was because 1975 was getting very close.

One evening he mentioned he had bought a newer car on credit instalments--because he wouldnt have to make the repayments.

i wonder how he managed ?

Years later i heard he became a circuit servant.

Jehovah's Witnesses Are A Cult . . . Pure & Simple!

jehovah's witnesses are a cult .

pure & simple!.

the wickedness we see prevalent today among the jehovah’s witnesses can no doubt be largely attributed to the leadership of the organization, the watchtower society and it's governing body.

How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?

by no-zombie in

from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.

decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.

and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

might just get new light that 144,000 is a symbolic number--comprising virgin men from the tribes of israel.

Special Pioneer 140 hours IIRC. And in those days most Reg. and Sp. Pio's did GENUINE hours, no counting of Coffee breaks etc, or travelling time in most cases, it was HARD !

haha--MOST pios may have--but not me.

Start of day--knock a door--drive to group meeting. Time is now started. During day--coffee breaks--lunch provided by a congregation member " on a rota"--- visit sick members of cong--go collect mags from bethel delivery truck--light up old boiler for kingdom hall heating---more coffee --go shopping.

clock stops when i got home. 8 hours counted.

Did Geoffrey Jackson Actually Reject His Faith During the ARC Hearing?

by xjwsrock in

as portrayed in the convention videos this year about sergei (the fictional jw character in cold-war-era ussr), the jw leaders expect loyalty, even enduring imprisonment and/or death.

in one scene sergei was offered an early release from prison if he would sign a statement renouncing his religion.

well he refused and spent 5 years in prison as a result.

JWmatch dating site

by sspo in

after my divorce four years and still attending the meetings i joined jwmatch.com as a non-paying member, eventually.

after i stopped going to meetings i wrote on my profile that i was inactive and after four years i have 63 "fans"...... sisters.

interested in me, from all over the world, as young as 29 and very pretty.. it looks like the sisters are so desperate for a mate that they would be interested in almost a 58 year old man.. very sad that many will stay single and will never have a chance to find love.. anyone interested in meeting them?
