  A Comment by Lieu Made It Obvious That I Could Not Be A JW in 2016

  by TMS in

  the following comment by lieu on another topic shows me that i would be totally frustrated, actually exasperated, stifled and depressed in the modern form of jwdom: "therein lies the real problem billy, no one is paying any attention at regular meetings let alone conventions.

  it's too boring, intentionally i think.

  humans aren't hardwired to sit through hours of lecture with no interactions.

  TMS. "Not everything is at seems." There is more to JW meetings and practice than what appears to be.

  Why murder (execute) 8 billion non-believers to just turn around and resurrect 20 billion other non-believers?

  "God's justice."

  Home bookstudy ended because of 'independent study' groups? Any interesting stories regarding these types of groups?

  by Nicodemus Kathoplizo in

  someone suggested the other day that the home bookstudy meeting ended because of 'independent study' groups (in ireland) going 'off the reservation' and left the truth (tm).. has anyone heard of this before?.

  does anyone have interesting stories of 'independent study' groups resulting in large scale apostasy?.

  they did not publish this for no reason:.

  What I heard regarding this was that one of the reasons for the change was related to legal ramifications and the lack of control of the places were the meetings were conducted vs the KH.

  Lota reasons, and also: more than too many meetings a week.

  Their teachings and behaviors destroy families and rob individuals of personal conscience, freedom of choice, dreams, hopes, aspirations and ambitions. Their shunning policy and discouraging education create a strain on government resources, not to mention failing to contribute to the greater good of social and economic improvement. (in reference to JW)

  I strongly disagree!!

  i'm just curious as to how it all happened.. to explain.

  many years back, before ex-jw websites, i called on a local lady in order to design an extension to her already enormous house.

  she was a young, voluptuous gal, married to a much older local business man who spared little expense in order to give his young wife whatever her heart desired.. we chatted for ages.

  Nah, the Bible is on target, not the "WT doctrine".

  You speak Greek do you? WT doctrine is about interpreting the Bible.

  JW Video Armageddon to occur before 2040

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  sorry i thought it was a new morning worship video but it is 6 months old and has already been discussed on here..  it is presented by gb helper k flodin and about this generation.

  the delusion and hypocrisy runs deep.. he reminds the cult members not to speculate because they aren't supposed to know the day or the hour.

  then he proceeds to speculate that armageddon will occur before 2040.. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201511_3_video.

  people haven't learned to leave dates alone.

  Is that your conclusion!
  

  (Daniel 4:25) . . .and seven times will pass over you, until you know . . . (Luke 21:23, 24) . . .. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled. (Daniel 9:24-26) 24 “There are seventy weeks that have been determined upon your people and upon your holy city, in order to terminate the transgression, and to finish off sin, and to make atonement for error, and to bring in righteousness for times indefinite, and to imprint a seal upon vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. 25 And you should know and have the insight [that] from the going forth of [the] word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Mes·siʹah [the] Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks. She will return and be actually rebuilt, with a public square and moat, but in the straits of the times. 26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.. . .
  

  Time and time and time again, the BIble teaches not leave dates alone except about the exact time and date of "D day".
