not much.. he is directing the watchtower society to print magazines that contain errors.. the goats he separated from the sheep have had to be put back in with the sheep because of policy changes.. stray sheep have been ostracized and turned into lamb stew.. the war to end all wars (wwi) has been followed by wwii, korea, viet nam, and the cold one.

(no need to mention the war on terror.).

there have been earthquakes, famine, disease and a lot of marrying and eating at fine restaurants.. 1925 came and went without any ancient worthies moving in to the residence at beth sarim.. the world got so dangerous in 1975 nobody noticed it.. the generation that saw all the signs and wonders has been dropping dead like flies.. brothers and sisters who use to serve jehovah and reverence jesus now know it is the governing body who calls the shots and jesus is only "a" god with a widdle "g".. the preaching work has been so successful that not one person in a hundred can give a coherent answer to what jehovah's witnesses actually believe.. hundreds of books printed by the watchtower society have begun with the stale adam and eve story and thousands of jw's have nodded off at meetings hearing it all for the umpteenth time.. the end has been "near" but, the answer "to what" needs shaping up a bit.. jesus use to be clean shaven, but, now has a beard like christendom said he did.. the superior authorities use to be jesus and jehovah, but, now they are the earthly governments just like christendom said they were.. all in all, as ceo of the hottest most wonderful government ever known to mankind (albeit invisible) jesus hasn't had a hit since wwi and is turning into the biggest disappointment since milli vanilli.. tsk tsk tsk.. .

He went on vacation for a few months to Mexico, then he wrote a book, cleaned the garage and is just watching your every move.

A 1975 story

by TooBad TooSad in

while i was in high school in the mid 60's i was told that the end was so near that i would not get to graduate from high school so i should not be concerned about being drafted due to the war in vietnam.

well i got drafted but did not pass my physical due to a medical problem.. i then considered go to school in the late 60's to enter the medical field.

i was encouraged by the elders not to do this because the end is so near and why get schooling for a profession that you will not need in a few years?

Welcome to the forum! If the end is real near I will have to run to the cleaners and pick up my suit. I want to look great when I am destroyed! POOF!

Can you really believe everything in the Bible?

by proplog2 in

if we take the bible at face value we are confronted with a serious problem.

how do we know when god is telling us the facts and when is he just telling us something he thinks we are capable of understanding?

this is not quite the same as the argument that god lies on occasion.

The problem that I have with the bible is that it has been rewriten so many times. I think that things that were writen have been used to condem modern problems. If you had a bible that was like 1500 years old and read it from cover to cover, would it say exactly what it says today? I would love an old one to check out. I have a bible that is 70 years old and when I have checked out some of the scriptures, they seem so vauge compaired to a new bible I would go out and buy today. So what does that say?

Why are the JWs so loyal to The Watchtower?

by VM44 in

why are so many jws very loyal to the watchotwer?

they do anything that the watchtower tells them to do, and believe anything that the the watchtower tells them to believe.. if the watchtower tells the witnesses to jump, the witnesses will ask "how high?

" if the whatchotwer says a black sheet of paper is really white, the witnesses will convince themselves that the paper really is white.. what accounts for this loyalty?

DaveNwisconsin

Because they are a cult and the people follow in blind faith. Its that simple.

'Disciplining' Children during meetings

by theredhead in

once at our local kh, the families were told if they needed to 'spank' their children they needed to do it inside the hall for now on and not take the child outside.

apparently, some neighbors reported one of the mothers for child abuse and called up the hall and told the elders that if they see it again they will call the police.. .

by no shocker the mother was still able to keep her baby...
