I can't take it anymore!
by BlackWolf inmy dad was recently made an elder about maybe 6 months ago, and now he is never around he's always at work or doing some kind of jw crap.
now he conducts the watchtower study and is even doing the special talk tommorow.
he's become an even more strict controlling jerk than he was before, and i'm never allowed to go out and do anything non jw related because he doesn't have the time.

BlackWolf, I know you're homeschooled but take Flipper's advice about a college education. Just daydreaming about it as well as making any practical preparations will give you some relief. -

"I think maybe my dad is just stressed from being an elder?"
Yes.
"Or maybe he is just mentally ill?"
Being a JW is a form of mental illness. Be glad you're sane even if it's driving you mad. Yes, I see the paradox of what I just said.

Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies
by Perry inwhile we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.
; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.
we just weren't taught to look for them.

Wikipedia:
The process of Hebrew's return to regular usage is unique; there are no other examples of a national language without any native speakers subsequently acquiring several million such native speakers...Hebrew was not a dead language. There were Rabbis and others who spoke Hebrew along with Yiddish long before they returned to Israel. Their patriotism is what made Hebrew the universal language in Israel.

jookbeard:
the Neturei Karta offshoot of ultra orthodox Judaism dont seem too impressed with these so called biblical prophecies and call for the state of Israel to be broken up due to the amount of blood that has been shed on its soil, the actual reverse of a prophecy could happen.
Take note of the 20 second mark.

A group of Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews joined an urgent pro-Palestinian counter rally for Palestine, protesting a pro-Israeli rally in Times Square, New York City.
For more information on the Neturei Karta link here.

It's ironic Perry that Mark Twain, whom you quoted, was an atheist. And so are a disproportionate number of Jews.

It wasn't a 'prophecy' except in the mind of the narrator. It was a wish disguised as prophecy. Wishes can sometimes come true but there doesn't have to be a god to make them come true. -
