  Funny how things just "change" suddenly and no one seems to notice or care to.

  In 1935 attendance worldwide at the Memorial observance of Jesus’ death was 32,795. Of these, 27,006 partook of the emblems as being the remaining ones on earth of the 144,000, whose hope is heavenly. Later in that same year, the identity of the great crowd flashed clearly into view. These meek persons, who look forward to life eternal on a paradise earth, also exercise faith in Jesus’ shed blood; they come to Jehovah in dedication, submit to baptism, and serve God zealously with the happy prospect of passing alive through "the great tribulation." At the Memorial of 1987, attendance was 8,965,221, with only 8,808 partakers. This indicates that millions today either are of the great crowd or are interested in becoming of that number. Will you be "able to stand" as one of these during ‘the great day of the wrath of Jehovah and of the Lamb’? It means your survival to take steps to that end.—Revelation 6:15-17; 7:14-17.

  Watchtower 1984 12/15 pg.10

  There are many more references, but I don't care to look them all up. Just proves that the "food" they feed their mindless "sheep" with is nothing more than a pile of s#*t!

  interview with a watchtower society author on wednesday, 27 august 1997, i met with harry peloyan for about 1 1/2 hours in the lobby of the 25 columbia heights bethel office in brooklyn, new york.

  my purpose was to discuss problems with the creation book with him, since he is its main author.

  "Make sure that your use of quotations and statistics harmonizes with the context from which they are taken."

  -Benefit from Theocratic Education, page 225, published by the Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society

  No wonder the WT rags mags rarely reference any quotes or other material.

  Before my husband saw the light get brighter and left the borg, he refused to believe that anything the WTS wrote was misquoted. Even when I presented proof from the cited references in the Creation book he refused to look at it.

  JWs are programmed to believe everything they read in the WT literature is fact. They will not look into any "worldly" publications for research purposes. Growing up, my elder dad always made me use the bound volumes to research info for my papers. Needless to say, the cited references didn't go over well with my teachers. My dad never understood why.

  This had me cracking up! Loved reading it, and I would definitely try these at the door but unfortunately the dubs only show up here about once a year. I say keep it coming. It's a very entertaining read! Thanks Lore.

  "the white tie and that shiny silk (polyester?) shirt are a bit odd"

  I think he's wearing one of those bibs that makes it look like he's wearing a fancy tie and shirt.

  what did you "sacrifice" when you came in the Truth?

  by skyclad in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm a newbie, bin lurking for days and bin doing so much research from your informative threads that my family think i'm possibly "comin back in the truth" =not!

  this is my 1st post so forgive if already done before, but just wondered what you had to "sacrifice to come in the truth?

  in my case, i was baptised in early 80's, my study conductor and all the dubs heavily drilled into us young-uns to sacrifice whatever it takes to please the org.

  Being raised in the borg I feel that I was forced to sacrifice most things that "normal" people experience and miss out on opportunies presented to them by their parents and families.

  I was raised to believe that I would never finish high school and therefore will not need to have the necessary life skills to succeed as an adult i.e. money management, household management, education, etc.

  I sure did and it didn't bother me a bit, but it embarrassed the hell out of my husband who was overly zealous at the time.
