the other day, i was in a local half-price bookstore.
just out of curiosity, i went down the 'religious' isle, and sure enuf, i saw a couple of publications by the witnesses wedged in with the usual other things, bible-related.. i also saw a spanish printed something-or-other... a recent publication (although i don't remember the copyright date).
i was looking at the information, and it said something like.... published by the watchtower bible and trach society and international bible students association ... etc.
Have they (Jehovah's Witnesses, Dawnists, Associated Bible Students, Laymen's Home Missionary Movement) all really "gone their own ways"?

Then click on: "1999 Convention"
See where that takes you. Anyone have any feedback on this?

i'm very new to this and please understand, but at one time or another most everyone here was a loyal and faithful witness.. if you disapproove of it or don't fit in as i don't.
why keep pounding at them it is like an obsession.. i would really like to know.
The more the WTS is proved wrong the more the fear disipates.
Proved wrong to who? The blinded R&F? Been there, done that. If only it were that easy.

The WBTS has been able to exploit the desire of honest-hearted individuals who seek a better life along with a better future, which in most people's minds can only be provided by God. Hence the need to use the Bible in their schemes (and not the Koran, the Vedas, etc. as this is a Judeo-Christian based religion). To make a bold statement such as claiming that this is "THE truth" will certainly draw those who DO want THE truth, but only as long as it has the backing of the highest authority in the universe. Hence the religious "hook" by the mind control group of miscreants who have always been operative behind the JW religion and who have no desire to swallow this gobble-dee-gook themselves, but instead have built this organization into a billion dollar empire which continues to feed the remoras who are attached to it e.g. legal and accounting firms, financial advisers, etc. The "powers-behind-the-throne" have been well hidden these past hundred+ years, and the WBTS has certainly done a masterful job of employing semantics and rhetoric in their publications over the decades in order to perpetuate this malicious and deceitful hoax. Do you REALLY think that Freddie Franz wrote all those books himself?
im at my dads house at the moment and they have this dog thats 14 years old, and apparently this brand of dog has an average life expectancy of 10, so shes had a good innings.. now im not a dog owner, so its pretty easy for me to say i think they should put the dog down.
my dads wife is very sentimental about the dog.
i would say she was very attached to it, but for all her sentimentality, she has never walked the dog (its always been my dad) and she is not the one who gets up in the night with a mop and bucket - that'd be dad too.

I'm with Nathan Natas. You'll be doing everyone a favor, especially the dog.
(pastor russell dot com)in his own words...was pastor russell a freemason?.

although i have never been a mason, i have heard that in masonry they have something which very closely illustrates this" ... "many masons shake hands with me and give me what i know is their grip; they don't know me from a mason.
Jesus Christ on a stick, do we all really have to get into this one again!
Not unless you want to.
it is amazing what can be done when there is a support system in place.
even when that system is almost totally verbal alone.. last night i told my dh that i was not content to just be an apostate but i want to do anything and everything i can to expose them and i have chosen to do this using my real name.
i followed that up by saying that there might even be some threats against me.
I do.

Guess that's the end of the New England get-together.
im trying to figure something out concerning the wts 607-1914 chronology that has me confused.
i thought they based the chronology on when jerusalem was destroyed.
however, the following is taken from the daniel book and it seems to base it on something else.
It is not your business to decide what methodology the celebrated WT scholars should employ. It is their business and they have decided that 539 BCE is a adequate pivotal date for the reconstruction of OT chronology.
"Rule by decree" cuz this "truth will set you free".
hello friend!
you and i have something in common.
you and i are both faithful jehovah's witnesses.
THE OUTER LIMITS OF THE WATCHTOWER BIBLE & TRACT SOCIETY
(The following announcement precedes all meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses)
"There is nothing wrong with the information presented. Do not attempt to ask questions. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We controlled the past. We control the present. We will control the future. Please sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to...Jehovah's organization."
if you can acccurately disprove the mathematics in the following i will be at the local kingdom hall first thing in the morning and ask the elders if i may rejoin them in worship.. here is some information i have compiled regarding what the watchtower has printed in regards to the babylonian kings and how the lengths of their reigns can be calculated to arrive at the date of the destruction of jerusalem by nebuchadnezzar.
if you're like me you've probably remained totally clueless whenever the subject of the chronology leading to back 607 b.c.
as the date for the destruction of jerusalem by nebuchadnezzar comes up.
But of course that is of no importance for chronology because exact or precise dates are unimportant.
Great. Now we can finally move on from this 607 thingy.
