i'm not sure but was'nt there violence before 1914(ww1)?
you know since christ said in the last days, it will be rumors of wars, wars... do the watchtower mean 1914 a.d. or bc or whatever lol... i'm confused and to be honest i never did agree with that 1914 thing, cause first off "1914"(the year) is not found in any bible, and second in revelation chapter 4 verse 1 , (kjv) underlined = prophecys/in the future!..
therefore way before 1914(ww1) violence large scale had to take place before 1914, so in reality there is no date for the signs to start, just watch the signs that christ talked about and heed- luke 21 verse 36.... but i think i'm pretty sure that we are infact living in the last days, and like the father clearly said at revelation chapter 1 verse 3: " the time is at hand " / armageddon / vision of the son of god(christ the prophet, not god)edited by - legendary u.2.k.
I've just realized that you are completely mad :o)
Do you believe the spirit is speaking through you? Sigh - another deluded one ....
Study your own ego, your deep inner voice. Everytime you pray for the poor, does it bloat ever so slightly ?

It is very easy to have FAITH & PATIENCE when you are sitting in the comfort of your own home, typing at a PC wouldn't you say?
Try that argument with the starving masses in Africa at the moment. Or indeed, in the UK, with the two parents whose children have been snatched.
To my mind it can be narrowminded and insulting to cast around the FAITH & PATIENCE line. It is like a *brother* said to me a short while ago after losing his *fleshly brother* in a car accident - "oh well, there is always the resurrection" - charming and what timely advice in good taste.
Please don't come back at me with the book of Job :o) I feel most of us here would have cursed and died.
"jehovah,".... that name is being dragged through the filthiest filth of the world's media day after day and this god seems powerless to stop it.
does jehovah like the publicity of being associated with child molestation?
if not, why is he letting this happen to his "holy name?".
Don't worry Mr Pomy, I don't understand myself today .... must be the medication :o)

If you really were a ** Bible Student ** - you would never ask those questions, without answers popping into your head automatically.
Reading your post took me back to when I used to knock on doors and think "dear, dear, how ignorant" at the curious statements of the householder, who had obviously not thought through what they were saying ;o)
Come on now. Must try harder...

shaving was a pagan egyptian/greek custom.. should true christians practise this custom?.
No - beards rule :o)
True Christians shouldn't eat meat either ..... or at least they should raise and slay their own beasts and eat them. Aren't there outlines in the Bible about looking aftre livestock and treating it well? .... hardly a reflection on the current state of the dead flesh industry that people snack upon.
Hmm ... may have to write to the society about that :oP
So then, true Christians should be like Hippies, minus the acid trips (I think). Mind you, if you dropped some acid and stared out to the ocean, you could probably write your own version of Revelations.

the following piece of misleading wt thinking was emailed to me recently by a close friend see what you think.
the following words are plaguerised from another person, but i did feel they should be posted.
""under the title "is it wrong to pronounce gods name?
Interesting Caspian :o)
I believe what you're saying, millions won't !
I understand the JWs stand on the name from their own point of view but they do go - on and on - about it as being a cornerstone of the faith.
You are fortunate that you can reason this way, if I were to confront my friend (still a JW) with what you have said today, I know he would blank it completely.... shame really, because as you say, it is very hypocritical for the society to use a mans words to their greater benefit and then on the other hand, cast other parts of his work into the pit of darkness where only smeg and apostates lurk :o)

when i surf on this discussion board i feel a lot of anger.
this is totally understandable because a lot of us suffered or still are suffering from their association with the watchtower society.
some of us are victims of child abuse.
Lots of wild flowers grow in the garden and attract cute fat bees :o)

many people on going about their everyday activities whether it's the shopping in town or meeting up with friends someplace don a mask as a disguise against allowing others to see their true feelings on the inside.. what coping masks do you wear, in which situations and do you know why you do this?.

The curious thing though Queenie, if you were put under the microscope and studied from situation to situation, you may find that, indeed, you do slip into a different character (or mask).
Most people do, often without full acknowledgement. Its a method of coping common to humans. A problem can arise though, whereby the mind fragments and many masks are formed for a variety of situations. Then ..... you have trouble ! The masks start taking over ... bwah, ha... ha... ha.. harrrrr (insert evil laugh).
