  Armageddon Is Right Around the Corner!

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if one were to poll present day jehovah's witnesses, what kind of a timeframe do you think they have for armageddon?.

  do they still discourage higher education despite the fact they've been wrong so many times?.

  one more thing about armageddon...how do they think it's going to start?

  I wish somebody could find the quote from a 1986 Raggazine that pleaded with the "Dear Reader, for Armageddon is so very near."

  I laughed at the time, even though it took a few more years to get truly sick to death of the Borg.

  Scary Stuff

  today's high school students in the usa:.

  less than 1/2 of them cannot identify the century when our civil war happened.. one in four thought columbus discovered america sometime after 1750.. one in three cannot name one right enumerated in the bill of rights.. three out of four cannot name the first us president.. two out of three do not know the length of term of a member of the house of representatives.. half cannot find britain on a map.. one out of four cannot find america on a map.. when my oldest daughter, who is now a physician was in 9th grade in this once-great state of california, i asked her about the three branches of our federal government.

  she was clueless and told me she would take civics in her junior year in high school.

  It IS NOT THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE YOUR KIDS WITH EDUCATION.

  Socialised education is as bad for democracy as socialised medicine.

  Teach your own kids, if you cannot afford to pay a GOOD teacher. Same with a doctor - you cant pay one: that is NOT the Governments problem.

  "People often wonder if deaf people can drive, get married, or raise a family."

  Do you all remember that we have all been told NOT to ask any questions that the Faithful Slave has not thought of and dealt with in the litterature?

  That means that this question about deaf people must be one the eight popes have thought of - for themselves.

  Being cut off in their little world of silence or sycophantic praise they prolly do wonder about the deaf.

  Remarkably stupid point in this week's Jeremiah book study - Jehovah's loving kindness

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the whole jeremiah book is an abomination, but a point in this week's study exceeded even its usual standards of inanity.. from page 144, paragraph 10:.

  in our day, god continues to show loving-kindness in ways that directly benefit his worshippers.

  consider the matter of prayer.

  Liberace " Behind The Candelabra"

  by smiddy in

  2. entertainment

  wow , i`m not gay , and i dont have gay tendencies , (a couple of scenes i have to turn away) but thats just me.. i thought the movie over all was done exceedingly well.

  m douglass captured liberace to a tee.

  rob lowe should get an oscar for his performance.and matt damon was beleivable in his role.. i watched this movie not knowing what i was going to see,and on a scale of 1 out of 10 i would give it an 8. smiddy.

  Don't you think that the pretense round Liberace's life was like being a Jdub and pretending you are somebody else?

  And poor Scott - Lib took away his life and even his FACE! Again like what the Witchtower babble and Trash Soc does.

  The acting was superb. The depiction of back ground deceit and manipulation is worthy of anything we have seen the WT do, and the way the trash is thrown out for younger models, once the last of the juice is gone.

  Wonderfully funny moments too.

  Universal sovereignty, The Tower of Babel and witness tampering

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the main premise of the bible is that satan challenged jehovahs authority and humans fell for the lie so god then gave man / satan a chance to rule to "prove" that they needed him and couldn't do it themselves.

  this was for the benefit of the angels watching who are presumably easily swayed too.. not really believable and some stunning gaps of logic but let's go with it for now.. what happened next in the bible?

  well, man was doing pretty good.

  HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE BUILDING THE "GREAT TOWER"???

  In less than one hundred years three couples produce a HUGE population enough to fill jehoobies heart with fear?

  Children putting bricks together frightened GOD - was he saaaaad. Poor baby...

  THE UNIVERSE IS THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE IT IS THE WAY IT IS.

  ""evil"" usually means something the arguer hates or does not agree with.

  Read the atrocities in Joshua and Judges of the Jewish and Christian "Holy Books"- is this EVIL - "God " told them to do it.

  TOUGH.

  Get over the world and accept that you will die, your "GOD" does not probably exist any more than Wotan.

  The CO and his wife have no home

  by not bitter in

  2. friends

  i know some have a flat or apartment that they can go to on the odd week off but i believe that the majority have no base to call home.. my parents have the co and wife stayng this week again and i asked my mum about it.

  she says that if they do get the any time off they go to her mothers to stay but thats only every few months.

  i just can't imagine having to live out of a suitcase in someone elses home constantly.. how to they not crack up.

  Invites, Parking and the DC - a true laughable story

  i'm in a major uk city, and we're assigned to an out of city location for our district convention.. to set the scene this site is off a busy motorway (freeway).

  it's a football (soccer) stadium.

  there is nothing around aside from one petrol (gas) station which also has a tiny supermarket in it.

  Simon -

  OMG! I remember the HUMUNGOUS walk to the Maine Road Stadium.

  I also remember the LONNNG walk back after the evening sessions (they still had them then) with adults desperately singing Kindumb Songs to jolly us on when we were dead on our feet.

  NOT_bitter-

  I dont agree - with the very early average marriagable age of the Dubbies, a CO's wife has to have gone along with it. More and more it is the "School For Christian Couples" where the selections are made. Even the now defunct Gilead ended up as a couples club where only couples were selected, presumably with the female "attachment" allowed in case HE molested children, or copulated with occasional boys or married sisters.

  (Or - JEHOOBIE FORFEND!!!! - pleasured himself)

  A friend of mine visited NY many years ago and went for lunch with a young sister.

  She ACTUALLY asked him "What are your ambitions with regard to the Truth? I want to be a Circuit overseers Wife."

  Having testimony on this board that some women say "I am the CO's wife so I can < insert relevant verb>" we know that they see it as giving them status, much as the dumb blondes in the world are attracted to the rich and powerful.

  One CO was a single man for many years, then he was roped in buy an Uber- elderette. He looked dreadful after a few months, and died a couple of years later.

  Did the WT care for his widow?????????

  The sad thing is a Co's wife can only get mad. She cannot get everything if it goes tits up.
