What if you're not emotionally inclined do let it all hang out, like me? Exercise, surely, is a good thing, but man, some of us just ain't into what you are suggesting.

Adam was created in 4026 BCE. 6000 years makes 1975 AD. As Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath, the millenial reign comes at the beginning of the 50,000th year of creation. Year 49,000. But since Eve was still yet to be created, 1975 wasn't it. The creative day hadn't quite ended yet; Jehovah hadn't rested yet. So you gotta add Adam's age when Eve was created to 1975 to get the date for the great tribulation's start. That's how I remember it going.

That's either gonna be a rah-rah party, or a yelling and screaming session, or just something to make Joe Publisher say: Wow, that must be IMPORTANT STUFF FROM JEHOVAH. I better do my part better in service to him. Well, that's how it makes me feel anyway.

I really have no opinion. I live in Buffalo where the worst we get are Super Bowl letdowns, one big snow storm a year, and recycled Johnny Carson jokes. Well, the city is broke, crime is still rampant, but whatever..........
I just think it's great to see Robdar, Gretchen and Amazing posting. :) And that prophecor dude is totally cool with me too.

Poztate, right now? Joe R. tossed out "character development" as quickly as he could in favor of advertising the kingdom. I don't know any JW who resembles Jesus any more so than my good neighbors and friends who aren't Christian in the least. Well, maybe caty's step dad elder (who, lol, came home today at 11:00, skipped the WT study in favor of some chores to help out some of the "friends" like fixing their lawn mowers for free).
Technically, 1975 is still relevant (if you ask some old-timers) cause however old Adam was when Eve was created ended the creative day. So if Adam was 40 when Eve leaped from his midsection then 2015 would be it.

Cross or a Stake - which was it?
by KAYTEE inwe were always lead to believe, when we belonged to the jws, that jesus died on a "stake".
was this really true or did he die on a cross as all other religions appear to believe.
if it was a cross, what on earth did the jws get out of saying otherwise.

Weddings, funerals, and the odd times I'd happen to visit Grandma when they were there is all I've seen of them in the last 20 years. When we were kids we saw each other more, naturallym My dad always told me the story of how when his brother, my uncle, was 17 and studying with a JW, the guy blew him off once on study night and he never showed interest again. Funny, cause at Grandma's house, the pictures of him, his wife, and their two daughters, my cousins, all "unbelievers" are front and center on the fireplace mantle. My family is the most balanced and off-kilter family in the world. But whattya want, we're Irish folk who only got into the USA by pretending to be Cornish.
