this thread is dedicated to the absolute irony`s and insanity`s we witnessed(pun intended lol!!
),as jehovah`s witness`s.....in wbt$ world,not much makes sense,if you think about it......i`ll give some examples...........#1:windowless kingdom hall`s..filled with window washers!..lol!
!........#2:100`s of kingdom halls with security systems..with the security numbers set at 1-9-1-4..(no one will ever think of that..this place is safe!..lol!!
How about free literature that's copyrighted. They want everybody to have it. But they want to prosecute selectively if they don't like the context any quotes are made in.
How about printing half a million copies of a worldwide message about religion designed to reach six billion people!

will they ever announce that the world wide preaching work is finished?.
will they fill that gap with something else, like "new system" lessons?.
The doubletalk started way back in 1995. That quote actually states that the prophecy has been fulfilled. But then it says: "Matthew 24:14 continues to be fulfilled in a large way." So the EXTENT is what is in question. Which means they can go on and on and say never proclaim the end of the preaching work.

This is what I posted on that thread about the 1995 WT stating this:

If they ever proclaimed the preaching work over, it could be their greatest embarassment. The clock would REALLY be ticking then. armageddon would have to show up. If not they'd have a lot of difficult explaining to do. They would try but we'd be all over them. So I don't think they'll ever proclaim the preaching work's end. At least not without some serious disclaimers and doubletalk to go with it.

word has got our that mr. and mrs. truthseeker no longer attend meetings.. we still live in the territory of our old congregation.
instead of taking the time to call us and see how we're doing, the "friends" prefer to talk about us behind our backs, one of whom passed information to my wife's mother (who is a loyal witness) that we do not attend meetings.. just waiting for the ball to drop.. .
.
I remember all the whispers when I stopped attending meetings. It was actually believed that I must have had a nervous breakdown or gone crazy!
Isaac
this is a re-hash of a post i made a few years back when i had only just 'left'.
but as time has gone by i have become even more convinced that the witnesses are, how can i put this, a fairly miserable lot.
it seems to me that what separates humans from other animals is our culture and traditions.
Funny the "celebration" of the Memorial amounts to an often boring lecture followed by a somber passing around of dull food no one eats! You can get in trouble if you eat it!!! Further music is often discouraged while the dull food is being served. Pathetic.
Anyway Happy Holidays to all. Its great to be free.

so i started this thread on another board too.
we have a sizeable number of people - men and women not in a relationship perhaps here.
ladies - what is it that you want in a relationship emotionally, mentally, sexually, and materially ?
Take care of yourself. You don't have to be Atlas but please make an effort to keep yourself squeaky clean head to toe. Yes, this means flossing and clipping your nails. Also keep yourself in good health (things you can control, such as weight, smoking, getting your checkups, etc.).
This one eludes so many divorced men I know. They want these great looking women, meanwhile they are fat and take little care of themselves. It seems so selfish. It makes me think on some level they view women as slaves who should accept anything they dole out.
Isaac
wow, i've just seen my wife's copy of the jan 09 new format kingdom ministry.
can they get any more controlling?.
how to handle every part is detailed giving absolutely no room for any personal input or freedom to express any ideas other than copyrighted watchtower thinking.. .
"Many who have refused to listen for years
have experienced a change of heart. Economic
reversal, illness, a death in the family/ or reports
of disturbing events on the world scene
may prompt such a change."
Yup, prey on the needy and those seeking hope.....
