Are there carts in Canada and England or any European country? If there are then maybe Australia has special conditions not conducive to carts. If there aren't any carts outside of the U.S. then maybe the Watchtower hasn't got around to it yet.

Never had a crazy JW-related dream until today

by onightdivine in

in my dream a while ago, the wt had already started "encouraging" everyone to contribute 30. either it meant at least 30 hours of "preaching" or 30% tithe.

the next scene is when we all stood up for the opening song at the kh, and lo and behold - the opening lyrics went on like (this is vague but you'll understand the context anyway):.

what a privilege it is to serve the kingdom.

Village Idiot

I used to have occasionally recurring dreams that I was back at the Kingdom Hall not wanting to be there but not wanting to be impolite by leaving.

Like the song Hotel California, "You can check any time you want, but you can never leave".

Online Watchtower publications archives?

by slimboyfat in

years ago i remember there being a number of sites with pretty extensive archives of watchtower publications online.

can anyone direct me to the best current site for this material?

in particular i am looking for a booklet from 1898 called "the bible vs. the theory of evolution".

Village Idiot

Welcome back slimboy but I'm confused. Didn't you say on a previous post that you were returning to the Witnesses because they were "the truth"?

a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.

day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.

the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

He should be writing science fiction.

Hello from an exmormon

by Cold-Dodger in

jw
friends

someone named john free popped in on one of my posts at exmormon[dot]com and mentioned this website.

i have a lot of questions.

i never knew much about about the jw church.

Village Idiot

Hi there Cold-Dodger. Welcome to the forum. Looking at this site must be like looking into a funhouse mirror. You recognize your reflection yet it's so radically distorted.

From an objective point of view one can say that they're both on the same level psychologically but it seems that Mormons have a bigger imagination.

When did the Great Crowd start forming?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.

what would be the earliest date?

any ideas or quotes from wt literature?

Village Idiot

I would imagine that this (imaginary) god would have had only anointed until Rutherford's divine declaration then he would start separating the two classes.

Both of those videos were equally boring but Lett's goofiness made his video more tolerable to watch.

Daniel 12:4 Knowledge shall increase in the End Times

by James Mixon in

i don't recall in jw land they use this verse to prove the end is near.. my question, what is this knowledge?.

it's a great verse to cover their butts, the light is getting brighter.

lol.

Village Idiot

Russell's teaching was that the increased knowledge of Daniel 12:4 was a reference to the technological advancement of the 19th century.
