PREACHING has STOPPED / ARMAGEDDON has BEGUN !!

by DannyHaszard in

received via email from a supporter,has anyone heard of this watchtower cult development?

{...i just wanted to let you know about some recent and alarming news in the wts.

my sister, who is not baptized yet, has been going to the meetings on a regular basis with my mom, who is full time pioneer.

If they do make an announcement like this I think it's great news. Every time they make grandiose claims like this they put their head in a noose and when it inevitabley turns out to be false many of the previously loyal rank and file pull the trapdoor N.B. 1914, 25, 75 etc

In the short term it could mean an upturn in fervour culminating at the summer convention but in the longer term there's going to be a lot of disappointed JW's, and not the first time for many.

I'm guessing they've said the preaching work has stopped in 20 countries in that growth has stagnated or gone into decrease. They must be expecting more unfavourable worldwide results to be making statements like this. It's kind of ironic that they're affiliated to the organisation that they say will be the prime mover in this 'great tribulation'.

russel's fasination with pyrmids

by mathead in

could russel's pyrimids be really just a symbol for a pyramid scheme?.

it seems the wts is pyramidal in structure with the gb at the top.

the dub publishers are at the bottom.

New Worldly Translation

Well pyramid schemes collapse when the people in them don't get what they were promised. Look what happened in Albania where the whole economy was a big pyramid scheme.

When the JW's finally realise it's a con the whole org will collapse. When will that happen? That's the $million question.

Disfellowshipped anointed

by New Worldly Translation in

it's not very often my mother brings up jw stuff with me cos she knows my opinion on it.

tonight however she mentioned that she had answered up incorrectly at the book study this week and she wanted to know what my take on it was.. the question was can disfellowshipped anointed ones come back into the org and still claim they are of the anointed?.

my mum said no and i thought no too, but apparently they can or so the group leader said.

New Worldly Translation

This is like asking what the effect of Plaid Kryptonite would be on Superman if he was on the Bizzaro world

Nathan dude, I'm gonna be thinking about that all night now!

Legolas - my grandma doesn't think dinosaurs existed either She reckons scientists make them out of plaster or something and plant them in the ground when no-ones looking and pretend to dig them up.

Still ANOTHER Elder says: "But what does it matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

well, things are getting ugly around here!!

just got a call from my best friend, who her and her husband have been fading for some time.

apparently her husband arived at work (he owns his own business) only to be dropped in on by a relative "elder"!

New Worldly Translation

That's very true Gary.

I've had heated discussions with my parents about 607, UN NGO membership, past failed prophecy etc etc. I argue with facts that they can't deny so their whole argument veers to a purely personal one 'that they want to be witnesses and they couldn't cope with not being one'

2006 Drama

by New Worldly Translation in

jw
friends

i just heard that my brother has been picked to be one of the main parts in the drama at this years district convention .

i thought this was hilarious when my mother told me tonight.

i said was he gonna be jezebel so my mum thinking i was been sarcastic and derogatory about it changed the subject.

New Worldly Translation

Yeah it was like that too in my area Freedomlover. Only those part of the 'in-crowd', who were usually the wealthy, got to be on dramas and such.

It's funny cos since I stopped going to the meetings my bro has gone on leaps and bounds as a JW. He's now an MS, got married, book counter servant, drama etc. When he was with me he never found the meetings interesting at all or answered up. He found it boring like I did.

I guess without my cynical, jaded attitude towards it all he's got renewed interest in it and got to be part of the in-crowd.

New Worldly Translation

Ah thanks for that Narkissos. I think that clarifies it.

Surely being disfellowshipped though means willfully practising sin without repentance. Before you are disfellowshipped proper you always have the opportunity to repent and come back and if you don't then surely that constitutes a willful act against the spirit by their own standards?

What publication is that quote from Legolas?

Is there now two classes of disfellowshipping for anointed. One for apostasy which means total seclusion and another for adultery etc which is forgivable?

ONCE & FOR ALL!!!!

by TimJonz in

exodus 31:16 says...

keeping the sabbath is still suppose to be kept by anyone who believes in jesus christ.

this is supported by mark 2:27-28. it says..

New Worldly Translation

Now, notice that it did not say anything about jews, muslims, white, blacks

What about Black Sabbath? I'll celebrate that.

My mum said no and I thought no too, but apparently they can or so the group leader said. Is this a new policy as I'm pretty sure it never used to be the case?
I always thought it was classed as sinning against the spirit, especially if it was for apostasy.
