the, “Governing Body is convinced” that we are close to Jehovah’s Day

Well it's a good thing they are 'convinced' now as opposed to being 'convinced' when they told that to my great-grandfather 90 years ago!

DOH!

Mars bars made with blood

anyone remember back 15 years or so ago when some brothers used to think mars bars were made with lecithin derived from blood .. we had a sister call the company and interrogate them.

funny.. .

5thGeneration

I was going to say the same thing. There is actually blood in blood pudding!

Blondie, it may have been more like 17-18 years ago when the Lecithin thing became a topic again in my area.

No CD ROM meant quickly fading memories back then! LOL

Does anyone see the UN as having any power?

i remember growing up as a witness and thinking that the un was this great world power.

i remember hearing how it was part of this global plan of the end of days, and how jehovah would use it to fulfill prophecy.

now, i see the un as a giant waste of time and money and if it was disbanded tomorrow, i think it would be the best thing for the world.

They don't seem to have much power and their scandals may actually eventually bring them down.

How long a time period would these last days prove to be? Jesus said regarding the era that would experience the "beginning of pangs of distress" from 1914 onward: "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur." ( Matthew 24:8 , 34-36 ) Thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. So some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end. That generation of people is now very advanced in years, indicating that there is not much time left before God brings this present system of things to an end.

i was wondering if us apostates would start having candle light vigils (for the loved ones lost) on the day of the memorial if it would make an impact on former witnesses and witnesses?.

ones that didn't take blood.

ones that didn't take organ transplants.

5thGeneration

Okay man,

Can't argue with someone who doesn't have respect for God.

That's my dilemma with this site I guess because I still believe in Jehovah and then get the 'Jehoover' comments.

I guess we should agree to disagree.

Should Religions be held for War Crimes?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

should religions be held for war crimes?one thing the watchtower was accurate about .

was religions involvement with politics and war.

efforts.

5thGeneration

Hmm, interesting!

My family has been in the 'truth' for a hundred+ years.

So to me it's intriguing that you insinuate the Society's involvement in war.

Bogus! Despite my 'truth' problems it has never happened.

Okay,

Maybe I missed something?

Ones that didn't take blood

Not Jehovah's fault.

Ones that didn't take organ transplants

Not Jehovah's fault.

Ones that committed suicide

Not Jehovah's fault.

Ones that were molested

Not Jehovah's fault.

Ones murdered in the name of Jehovah

Not Jehovah's fault.

I guess missed something saying it is the Society and not Jehovah that's done those things!

I'll get killed for this but you can't blame Jehovah for the WT's idiocy!
