my elderly dub aunt (who's the biggest whiner the world has ever seen) came over tonight to first of all, whine about how her neighbour shuts her kitchen cupboard doors in the most annoying way possible and her dog barks and what was she supposed to do about it?

anyway, as soon as these monumental problems were solved, she informed me that at the bookstudy the other night, the conductor told everyone to "stay after the prayer" as he had 'something important to announce.

" naturally everyone did this, all the while wondering if the red phone at patterson was in direct contact with jehovah himself as the study was being conducted.

Is it at all significant that we haven't seen the new school guidelines? Maybes they are drastically revamping the meetings, perhaps combining them (as someone suggested)

Enduring Test within God's Organization, a fairly nutty talk

by ackack in

has anyone heard this talk before?

its ... well, pretty nutty.

ackack

Oh lemme see. The basic run down is that God tests us with changing doctrine. Goes on to completely misrepresent the events of 1914-1918. Some other silliness.

Perhaps someone else can paraphrase it a bit better.

The Gentiles Times Reconsidered--Again but this Time By Using the Bible

by thirdwitness in

think about this: if seven times mean only 7 years then daniel could have simply said 7 years.

why does daniel specifically use the word 'times' rather than years?

as we have already shown daniel used the word for 7 times instead of 7 years.

Wow! Frank Toth wrote 1 Corinthians? I knew it wasn't Paul, but I had no idea it was Frank. Good Job Frank! ackack

The irritating slant to almost everything negative I have seen on Witnesses

by free2beme in

when i left the witnesses, a person from work gave me a video about the witnesses that his church uses.

i thought it would be interesting, so i set down and watched it.

what i found was another example of one church taking about another, to then counter with points that support their way of thinking.

This line of reasoning irritates me. Perhaps the answer to "Where else would go?" should be something akin to, "Whats the alternative to putting your hand on the stove?". Oh, I dunno, maybe its NOT putting your hand on the stove?

Flash: you wrote, "1914 and their biblical formula to determine it made and still makes sense to me, and as I mentioned earlier, I clearly see empirical evidence to support it."

How do you get around the whole October 1914 thing vs. World War 1 starting in July? Or do you think this is much of a problem?

thirdwitness's reply was that Satan knowing he was going to be cast out, came down to earth before hand to cause trouble. He didn't provide any biblical or ever watchtower support for that statement, so its probably just his or her own private speculation.

BTW, empirical evidence? What evidence did you have in mind?

Did you hunt your fellow brothers down.............???

jeff started a thread today which got me thinking.

many ppl here say they were hunted down by the elders, with the intent of having them dfd.

now if you are a ex elder, did you ever do that??.

ackack

I did it to my brother (not as an elder, but just as an over-righteous pub). His name was Moxy on here. I wrote a scrapper to download all his posts, and I sent them to my dad. My dad didn't seem to really care about what he was posting on here, instead, he said something about "showing doubts to those who are weak". He faded away, and I DA'ed. My dad still talks to him, and I haven't spoken with my dad for over a year.
