  The Time Travel Tale of John Titor -- Brilliant Internet Hoax?

  by Country Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any of you are bored and want to read a very fascinating tale of what i think is one of the more interesting internet hoaxes, there is the story of john titor.

  the web site says:

  "although there is debate over the exact date it started, on november 02, 2000, a person calling themselves timetravel_0, and later john titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.

  Is the International Bible Students Association still a part of Watchtower?

  i'm currently reading coc and i'm in the 5th chap.

  but i read in the book about the ibsa being a "corporation" of the wts, are they still considered a part of it?

  i went to the ibsa website and it had a link about charities that the ibsa donates too and it listed 2 kingdom halls and 2 assembly halls as receivers of the donations.

  Thanks RR,

  When you go to the bottom and type in just Jehovah you come to this:

  Dalston Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses Dudley Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses East Pennine Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses Manchester Assembly Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses

  So IBSA is just a legal corporation that WTS uses to make more money right, and because it wasn't making enough money they shut it down??????

  Sorry but I'm on a limited budget to order the information that they will have faxed to me in under an hour. I got enough information already to know that these links are people that must regularly take donations from the IBSA. Laundering money is about right and then with the big Jimmy Swaggart/Donation Basis "TAX EVASION" I guess Jehovah is telling them to do this since they are his mouthpiece right?

  i'm not sure about the policy about posting scans of watchtowers here so if you want me to send you the scans let me know.

  the scans are in a zip file which is password protected.

  Blondie said, "They keep saying "Jehovah's voice" when John 10:16 is talking about the sheep hearing Jesus' voice".

  I bet if I asked my elder uncle that wants to talk to me now about this he would probably say it's Jehovah's word spoken through Jesus. But then he might not because how would that corrulate(sp) with the organization being "Jehovah's mouthpiece". Why are they so many so scared to think for once. I'm glad you brought that scripture out. I'm going to add that to my long list of questions that I'm preparing for my sit down with my uncle elder. I wonder if he'll stay around for the whole list or label me apostate with the first 2-3 questions.

  I hate the way they say Jehovah brings things to light when 9 out of 10 times its usually the person committing the "wrongdoing" or someone else witnessing the "wrongdoing" that comes forth and tells. I used to hate that. That's the only way they find out stuff. Nosey people telling on someone when they have the "camel in their eye" complex or from the elders being "sherlock "elder" homes" and following you because your meeting attendance/field service time has dropped. That's the only way they find out stuff. I wonder how many times has Jehovah actually showed them somebody was doing this and you need to talk to them.

  I JUST WISH THEY WOULD "THINK" FOR THEMSELVES FOR ONCE IN THEIR LIFE

  I'm in the same boat with you. I was inactive for almost an year before I finally decided to go ahead and have the JC meeting. I already knew what the outcome would be, but now for some reason, I guess because I've been going to church and getting a better relationship with GOD I see more how they are a bunch of ________ (fill in the blank with whatever you want to) and want people to believe you are dead if you're not a JW.

So if the IBSA is still a part or rather "corporation" of the WTS and they just have "similiar" beliefs but not the same beliefs, why does the WTS accept money from them? I take that question back they want money from anyone, but why isn't published anywhere that the IBSA is still a part of the WTS in London or is that another one of their big secrets?

  Why Have Memorial if...

  by Sweetp0985 in

  no one partakes of it?

  out of the many memorials i have been to, i only recall 1 when a bethelite came to give our talk and he was of the anointed and partook of the emblems.

  but anyway i've read a post on here and heard about a person in my local area that partook of the emblems and their "anointed" status was questioned.
