1914 seemed real ignorant. No marriage for the resurected and most importantly, the book of Revelation having a connection to a small christian sect in 1919.
Pure Garbage
what jw beliefs did you make up for your own sanity?.
for me it was regarding the flood.
instead of believing that god had destroyed millions of people, i imagined that because of all the violence, by the time the flood came, the only people besides noah and his family that were still alive were the nephilim.

well, i went this weekend and there were a few key points that i thought were pretty interesting.
one thing is that we are not to use the word 'society' any longer.
i don't know if anybody else has heard of this before but i wondered what the reason was behind it.
Guilt and peer pressure always worked for me when I was dilligent and active. Pounding the platform is very effective. I am not going to MY Space for at least another hour.
The typical scare tatics of the past.

Wow, isn't it great that people that go to the hall do not listen. Thy could sleep late on Saturdays and get the same results.

i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.
1- were you raised a witness or not?.
2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.
1- Were you raised a witness or not?
Yes, born into the org.
2-If you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?
My parents died faithful witnesses. My father with severe Altzhiemers (couldn't remember me) and all, (prior to his last words) said, "This is the end". With tears in my eyes, I said Daddy, what do u mean? He said, "The end of this system" We exchanged I love yous and he had a massive stroke seconds later.
3- Where do you stand on religion now? Christian, pagan, atheist/agnostic, undecided...
Active publisher.................on paper.......but fading away!!! No meetings for several years.
My wife is active for real.

From the Matrix:
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

remmeber that was a question that one would pose to a bs or to some one that said he belived in going to heaven?
as if the gb or this generation knows what they will do in heaven.
funny, i never read bout what any individual gb or annointed that knows hwat he or she is gonna do in heaven.
The buzz is they will rule as Kings and Priest someday. Until then I guess they will do the church thing and eat milk and honey all day.
mmmmm Honey!!

double standards!
it's ok to bribe public officials!
His second book is great as well, "In Search of Christian Freedom". My wife thought I was crazy because I cried as I found out the truth and discovered the lie I had lived. I went into deep depression, but eventually recovered.
he said, "enough with just offering the magazines.
you need to directly ask people for a bible study.
don't be like the man that stays engaged for years to a woman but never makes a commitment!
On Yahoo Answers several people have offered BS to those asking questions. Never hear that before.
i remember when the change regarding the generation came in 1995, many co-workers harassed me about this revised doctrine.
i was not aware of how they knew of this.
the la times and a few periodicals (i.e.
Great job Gopher!!!!
It would be great to increase the awareness. Firpo Carr writes an column in the Los Angeles Sentinel, but he writes about doctrines. I have wrote them, but the paper does not publish letters. Planning on the LA Times later today.
