May Jehovah rebuke you
by Londo111 in8 despite this, these men too are indulging in dreams, defiling the flesh, despising authority, and speaking abusively of glorious ones.
9 but when michael the archangel had a difference with the devil and was disputing about moses body, he did not dare to bring a judgment against him in abusive terms, but said: may jehovah rebuke you.. the watchtower uses this passage in jude against its critics, and applies the term glorious ones toward those in the watchtower hierarchy.. however, a little research will uncover that these glorious ones are as some translations say, not human religious leaders, but angelicmajesties.
the word for speaking abusively is blasphemeo which means to speak reproachfully, rail at, revile, calumniate, blaspheme.. similarly, bring a judgment against him in abusive terms, a similar word blasphemia arises, which means slander, detraction, speech injurious, to another's good name.. here jude contrasts those who thought so much of themselves, likely gnostics, so as to blaspheme angels, to the archangel michaels approach toward the devil.

THE QUOTE THE WBATS DENIES MAKING OF 1975!!!
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe wtbats like to state "we never stated when the end will come" when they blatantly have:.
1969 "if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.

Yes, I remember.. I lived it. I slip up on my "theocratic" lingo sometimes. Those were the days when we had a prez, none of this "rule by committee" stuff!!

JWs took off from work in 1975?
by skeeter1 ina friend of mine is an electrician supervisor.
back in 1975, one of his employees was a jw.
the jw was so convinced that 1975 would bring the end of the world, that the jw took off from work (like, the first week in january) and sat on the top of a north carolina mountain waiting for armegheddon.

At our hall, the Congregation Servant (Pre elder arrangement) posted a countdown on the "News Board". The Circuit "Servant" told him to take it down....anyway, the Congregation Servant and his wife bought a 27 foot travel trailer around that time and lived in it. They lived in that travel trailer until he died about 30 years later. They "kept it simple".

The Governing Body never said this. Just some over zealous writers back in Brooklyn. Some of us just didn't know how to read between the lines.

Hello, its good to be back, seriously!
by AllTimeJeff infor the last year or so, the opening lyrics to gloria estefan's "always tomorrow" have been howling at me.. i've been alone inside myself, far too long.
never really wanted it that way, but i let it happen..... .
(btw, the message in that song is great for former jw's, if you want to think about the lyrics that way....).

I personally know a kid that had a full ride scholarship for CHESS. Brilliant. But, he turned it down so he could pursue theocratic goals. He was sent to Ministerial School, (think that's what they call it) and now serves a remote congregation in the US. When he told me this a couple of years ago, it was very hard to listen to.
