  so here's an interesting thing that happened lately.

  if you guys have followed my previous posts, you probably know my mother almost died from severe anemia, decided to take blood transfusions to avoid death and the elders announced the congregation she disassociated.

  last week a "brother" came to visit from a congo about 100 kilometers away.

  cookiemaster: "...some doctrines still need improvement."

  A doctrine need 'improvement'?! Doctrines from the scriptures are supposed to be eternal truths not the word of any man/men subject to improvement.

  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

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  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".

  2. beliefs

  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".

  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"?

  Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D

  by cognitivedizzy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  the answer every person and religion wants to know is .

  is there trully a god no false prophets yes .theres two many to even think about who just want your money and time to spread there evil word .no god is more important in this lifetime that you have on this world than the love you recive and give to your real family .

  anyone who is a jehovah's witnesses trully knows they are in a cult not a religion minipulated and threatend with emotional blackmail and pain it makes them feed off your sadness and manipulate there flock into beiving this what jehovah ( false prophet) wants pure sanctamonius bullshit read the book shepard the flock of god charles teze russle was the founder but and since jesus is the founder of chrisianity the organisation regard him as the true founder of there fake faith plus he c.t russle was a child molester .

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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?

  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.
