message: .

i was just told that the 2007 years text is (zephaniah 1:14) 14 the great day of jehovah is near.

it is near, and there is a hurrying [of it] very much.

at the circuit assembly recently, the DO talked about how soon the end is coming. he said since "the message" has gotten "harder" it's clear the end is so very close. Apparently the message has been "soft" before now, because Jehovah was gathering in people. Now, it is time for the harder message, the warning messages, such as the tract to be distributed in October.
Ha! So, no one knows the day or the hour, not even Jesus. But the Jehovah whispers these things into the ears of the governing body and they print it in the watchtower.
LOL!
I had an epiphany during this part. next time someone tells me I need to be more active, I'll tell them that I will become more active.... very soon. very very soon.
LOL.

Question: Demons

growing up, i remember hearing stories from my own parents and others in the congregation about experiences with demons.

sister x wore a t-shirt that she purchased at a second hand store and the demons attached themselves to the shirt and gave her problems.

certain movies and/or cds would give a family problems.

the demon stories are just there to scare you straight.
a few anecdotes are not going to change my mind, there are no demons. I have felt something in my bed with me before, and it was just after falling asleep. It's a natural thing, and to think it is real is understandable. It's all in our heads.
IMHO.

Rlaser, are you going to pretend you didn't realize this post about bethelites goes hand in hand with recent information about bethel layoffs?

Weird.

ok so i am a ex-witness,(disfellowshiped) i have posted here before...but i must say why have'nt we moved on?

come on i mean if we all really thought that the jw sect was just that then why are we not trying to forget it and let life go on as it has; and try to be true to ourselves and our neighbor and read jesus words as recorded in the bible?

i have been reading my bible on lunch breaks at my work, as well as reading in the dhammapada.

The WTS is worse than any big corporation...companies pay their workers and usually give them some sort of severance package when they let them go...or they are at least eligible for unemployment benefits. Bethelites are just thrown into the streets while the higher ups mumble something about Jehoobie seeing to their needs. How devastating!
no social security benefits, either. that's gonna really hurt.

an ex-jw called the dr. laura show today.

i always miss the beginning of the jw callers.

did anyone hear it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand she's not even a psychologist. That would explain many things strange about her show. I can't stomach it, I tried... once. couldn't stand it.

students reported killed, hurt in pennsylvania attack (update2) .

I just read the shooter wasn't Amish,and the Amish people have told his family "we forgive you", and also that the 5 girls killed are better off than the ones who survived because they believe in the "hereafter". First of all, I'm sure they know the spotlight is on them, and want to be seen as peaceful people, but it really makes them look bad to me to say the 5 dead girls are "better off". You would think a Witness might say the same sort of thing.
As someone mentioned, they will use this as an example of the evil world around them. I suppose the police and medical assistance they received wouldn't change that.
