The whole UN nonsense was a storm in an apostate teacup.
Then why'd they disassociate when they were found out?
apostate literature - i have read the lot.
you name it - c of c, gentile times reconsidered, thirty tears a watchtower slave, the orwellian world of jehovah's witness, apocalypse delayed, and the freeminds and watchtower observer sites, so on and so on.
and i have been reading the posts on this site regularly pretty much since it started, and hourglass before it.

SBF,
Indiviuals in the early church made mistakes, for example some stated that the ressurection had already ocurred. But since the church was not hiearchial in nature, those problems were easy to deal with.
Yes they did say the dates came from Jehovah. Each issue of the awake said something to the effect that "it is JEHOVAHS will for the end to come before the end of this generation"
Look at these quotes and tell me that they didnt claim the 1975 prophecy wasnt from Jehovah
*** w67 7/15 pp. 446-447 The Removal of Mankind?s Chief Disturber ***
The last thousand years of God?s great seven-thousand-year rest is a special sabbath over which the Son of man will be Lord.?Matt. 12:8.
*** w68 8/15 p. 488 The Book of Truthful Historical Dates ***
In reality he has at his disposal the most ancient book of history and, more important, one that can be trusted and depended upon as the supreme authority, one by which all other testimony can be measured and judged. Fortunately, this historical document is now translated in the language the inquirer can read. This book is the Holy Bible, the inspired and sacred Word of Jehovah God. Jehovah alone knows both the end and the beginning.
*** w74 12/15 pp. 764-765 Benefits and Rewards from Being Spiritually Secure ***
And now, as the critical year of 1975 enters, it may well be asked: Has the Most High God of prophecy made a name for himself? The answer is self-evident, Yes! By whom? Not by Christendom or by Jewry, but by Jehovah?s Christian witnesses!
How fitting it would be for God, following this pattern, to end man's misery after six thousand years of human rule and follow it with His glorious Kingdom rule for a thousand years! .. only seven more years from the autumn of 1968 to complete 6,000 full years of human history. That seven-year period will evidently finish in the autumn of the year 1975.. {AWAK Oct 8 1968 14-5}
we are reaching what Jehovah God could view as the seventh day of man's existence. How appropriate it would be for Jehovah God to make of this coming seventh period of a thousand years a sabbath period of rest and release, a great Jubilee sabbath for the proclaiming of liberty throughout the earth to all its inhabitants! This would be most timely for mankind. It would also be most fitting on God's part, for, remember, mankind has yet ahead of it what the last book of the Holy Bible speaks of as the reign of Jesus Christ over earth for a thousand years, the millennial reign of Christ. Prophetically Jesus Christ, when on earth nineteen centuries ago, said concerning himself: "For Lord of the sabbath is what the Son of man is." (Matthew 12: 8). It would not be by mere chance or accident but would be according to the loving purpose of Jehovah God for the reign of Jesus Christ, the 'Lord of the Sabbath,' to run parallel with the seventh millennium of man's existence." {LEIF 26-30}

if you had the power to make one new law up in your community or country, what would it be??

i havent seen anyone post that the WTS should be banned
that'd just validate their persecution complex
i'm aware of ed dunlap from coc - but who else of the upper echelon?
Hey on covington, I heard he was wrongly df'd for drunkeness. He had a stroke or something like that which made him act as though drunk and was df'd for that. Is that true or just legend?
IPSec

(who is that guy?
) it appears that the sale of a library ticket upset one or two people:.
I sure hope they were looking at ebay. Somebodys got to tell em what the good old GB is doing.
Did she forget that judas betrayed an innocent man? The society is nowhere near as innocent as jesus was. Welp just another example of the org is higher than god mentality.

Thou shalt put the lid down!
LOL really? How do I keep from getting stuff all over the lid. Can we compremise? We will always sit and flush if we can leave the lid up. :)
being worldly i try to get my head around this sometimes, and wondered what others opinions are.
being that my husband is a long time witness i know what the witness view is, it is all satan's doing.
since most of you are "out", has your view on the source of evil/unacceptable behavior, (whatever you personally find just out-right wrong, for me it is child sexual abuse), changed?
(Matthew 7:16) 16By their fruits YOU will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?
WW whether you believe in the bible or not, this is a universal maxim. Another maxim is power corrupts. Any org that becomes too powerful will become corrupt and produce rotton fruit.
the quote below was part of a talk in the 90's.
i heard this as a child and thought to myself, how can any woman accept such a draconian veiw?
i was not sure if i had understood correctly so, i brought it up to my bible study conductor maggie, i was appalled that she agreed with this veiw, we debated it back and forth, until i got the upper hand, then she told me that i was to "rebellious and strong willed", and that i "should never get married", that i way i would not have to submit to male "headshit" "headship".
I hope you ladys dont mind me posting here, hehe, but
I'm still in there, but I don't act stupid. I say exactly what I think and how I feel.
I betcha the elders in your hall smirk and shake their head ('no' fashion) when they talk about you. Are you married? They're like man, I sure feel sorry for that guy. LOL.
Ahwell as a guy I cant really contribute a lot to this conversation. Yall Jezebel, Atilia, Jael, Deborah like ladys keep up the good work
