  hi everyone, totally new here.

  and still associating with jws... have been baptised 23 years, that was at the tender age of 13 when i had absolutely no idea what i was doing.

  i have always been considered a rebel...brought up in a family by a single parent, my two brothers are both elders, the younger being a regular pioneer, my sister a regular pioneer and serving in a foreign language congregation.

  Hello to all, and thanks for your kindness...

  james here; exjw for about 25 years.

  was "in" from 1963 to 1980 due to parental "guidance" beyond my own good sense.. have been to elder school, bethel, wthq, etc..., knew many of franz heretics in the mid-late 70 trouble from oklahoma city.. have many silly stories to offer...but for now just will say this - .

  if your "god" was really going to come down here and kill everybody on earth except for the wt people who the society liked, would you not stand up to fly the first fighter jet against such a horrible alien?.

  The end is nigh

  do you guys think we are sufficiantly along in the month of october to be able to say that the end isnt coming in the fall of '05?.

  when i was a dub i really thought the end was coming this month.. 1975+30= 2005. if adam was 30 when eve was created this would be the end of the 5000 years of since jahs last rest.. eve created, jah rest for 1000 years (1k years is as one day to jovah) he picks up work again 1000 years after eve is created.

  now in 2005 that means he has just 1 more "day" until the next great 1k years sabbath.

  Enigma One, you haven't been here quite long enough. This particular prophet won't slink away for long.

  Penton & the drama this year

  by carla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the book apocalypse delayed by james penton he describes a 'drama' on pg 101-. the greatest emphasis was again placed on the preaching work, and jesus was described as a pioneer.in an assembly drama or 'morality play' on the apostle paul's companion timothy, young persons fresh from high school were strongly discouraged from attending academies of higher learning, and an always laten watch tower animosity towrads university education bacame more evident.. this sounds just like the drama from this summer.

  i was under the impression that some jw's thought this was a new drama.

  do they just recycle this stuff all the time?

  Kristyann, no offense taken. When I was still a believing Dub it used to drive me crazy. The same tired thing over and over and over. And on top of that, the writing was so dumbed down!! Boring! I'm so glad I don't have to read that drivel anymore.
