MsGrowingGirl,
I doubt your honesty here and your sincerity from your very first post. You sound very immature, and quite ignorant.
in my previous post i mentioned that i'm staying in the org because i think i got a sign from god...some of you asked a lot of questions about my sign and even shared the society's view on asking for signs which i didn't know.. i didn't disclose exactly what the sign was.. some of you asked me what it was and even stated that i know that you all would pick apart and prove that my sign was just a frivolous excuse to hold on to the org.. maybe you were right.. so i've decided to tell you all exactly what it was---no embellishments or exaggerations.
i would love to hear your opinions since i'm still in a terrible mess.sometimes i'm 100% this is not the truth then other times i'm 60%....i feel if god was giving me a sign i'd be 100% this is the truth you know?.
so i woke up that morning and organized to go meeting.

it took me a long time to write this....i'm being brutally honest...i am still a reg pioneer...three sundays ago,i was praying and asking god for a sign or something because i was so confused...i told him exactly what i needed to see for me to believe.i was feeling terrible--crying and feeling sick because i was so confused.ten minutes after, i walked into the kingdom hall and to my surprise--my prayer was answered!
i soooo wasn't expecting it, even though i prayed.
so this is where almighty god wants me to be,ii've reasoned.
Optimusprime said:
Perhaps for some of you I am somewhat different. Frankly most of what I am hearing is NOT apostasy but rather disgruntled exJWs and others that are feeding on few articles that while true have ultimately been sensationalized.
My reply: The WT disagrees with you, and says that we are apostates...and considers this site and similar sites as apostate site...spewing apostasy. So you are in direct disagreement with the WT?

optimus, as a pioneer closely following 'God's earthly organization', what are you doing venturing onto apostate sites?

Girl, unfortunately you lack reasoning ability and critical thinking skills. I read your 'revelation' and was quite disappointed to see that during your time here you have learned absolutely nothing. They are the best of what's available? Really? Explain? Best compared to what? The JW standards, and how close they can measure to that?
Hopefully you wake up before your life passes you by and you spend you life serving man and expecting the elusive prize that the governing body dangles as a carrott before you eyes. I tend to doubt your honesty and much of what you have stated here, but still hope one day you will wake up. You sound very ignorant and very immature. My take.
ok...i have read before that the jws celebrate the memorial on the wrong day.
can someone explain this to me in a dummyproof way?
do the jws celebrate the memorial on the 13th day after sundown (which is nisan 14) or do they do it on the 14th days after sundown (nisan 15)??
Right leolaia, but the DATE changes at sundown? I guess I am trying to ask: Does the WT observe the memorial on the 13th day of Nisan after sundown??
The Biblical text says it was observed on the 14th day after sundown.

So, am I correct that the JWs observe the memorial on the 13th day of Nisan after sundown (Nisan 14 date)...while the Bible texts show passover to be observed on the 14th day after sundown (Nisan 15 date)?

there is a rumour (from someone who should know better) that members of the gb are going round saying that the preaching work is accomplished.
this comes from a seniour elder and i therefore take it a bit more seriously than some sources.. if this is true then it kinda links in with the reduction of the half awake and the watch slightly-higher-mound-look-out magazines.. has any one else heard anything?.
The WT will never call an end to the door to door work- it is free publicity and busy work to keep the members slaving and feeling guilty they are not doing enough.
And in addition it is one more thing that the elders can use if they want to call someone on the carpet for not being a good JW.
Exactly...they have in the past said the preaching work has now been completed, and the end is soooo close that it is now just a warning work...they have replaced books they use to study with interested ones with newer books, claining it is a more direct message because the end is sooooo close and no time to waste....nothing at all new here

This is nothing new...They have said in the past many times that the preaching work has been accomplished and we are now in the ned of the end. Door to door witnessing is not going away. It is simply the WT is spending less on its resources.

kool-aid man, is your plan to protest the memorial still in play?
are you mia?.
LV101, I was only being sarcastic in my comments about Rick. His conference calls and website are a joke.
