As TD said, they only changed their view on this once. Their earlier view is complicated, but it didn't switch back and forward as the list suggests.
We had an old sister in our hall who didn't accept the new light and still insisted the great tribulation had already begun.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
Fanatics always have it both ways.
local newspaper in finland has published an article concerning wtbs:s "pillowgate@ videos.
the local "communications manager" of jehovah's witnesses - veikko leinonen - has declined to comment them.
according to him they are for internal use only.
It's "out of context", I suppose, in the sense that it's only intended to be seen by fully indoctrinated JWs at the core of the organisation, not for outsiders or less committed members to scrutinise. And in that sense, it's good that it's now being viewed out of context. Because it gives an insight into the minds of those at the heart of the organisation.
john cedars' youtube channel has a new video interview with james penton.
lloyd asks some good questions and jim provides excellent insights about jw history and where the movement may be headed.. i had the pleasure of meeting jim and his former wife, now passed away, at the christian believers conference (of bible students).

Jim Penton did post here, and as on Chanel C he was most interested in liberal politics, and the Israel/Palestine situation. If it wasn't really him, whoever it was did a good impersonation. But I'm convinced it was him.
from the wt dated dec 2017 - study 1 para 11 studied by all congregations 4th feb 2018. the question asked on this paragraph is:.

As already pointed out, it's part of the famous "we passages" in Acts.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
What on earth is wrong with being a socialist? Heaven forbid that the rest of the world become like Norway, that notorious socialist hell hole.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
He has not blown up the planet, yet. So I must admit, yes, he has done better than my expectations so far.
so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.
now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.
we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?
I'm pleased for you Xan, but a little trepidatious too. Because I've read so many similar experiences on this site (over nearly 20 years now). Unfortunately what often happens is that the JW relative shows unexpected human connection, but then JW guilt kicks in, no doubt involving great inner turmoil for the JW, and they feel compelled to follow it up with a restatement of their support for shunning policy and strict adherence resumes. In the JW world no unauthorised act of human kindness can go unpunished.
can someone give me the pdf or epub link to:.
the orwellian world of jehovah's witnesses .
thanks.
Goes a little over the top on the 1984 parallels, but enjoyable book to read with some interesting perspectives.
Don't miss out the very interesting frontmatter where Gary Botting describes his precocious interest in zoology and encounter with “brother Noah”.
i was doing a shearch on physicist alain aspect, and came across this :.

the universe as a hologramdoes objective reality exist, or is the universe a phantasm?.
Yes indeed. Or another way of putting it, believing in God in some sense is an acknowledgement of the limits of human understanding. And to be clear, not just the things we do not yet understand, but that there are things we cannot understand.
