  2. experiences

  the forward the following story is my fifty year relationship with the watchtower bible and tract society otherwise known as the jehovah witnesses.

  it started when i was just two years old and ended just one week after 9/11, 2001 just three weeks before my fifty second birthday.

  i was basically raised in that thought system i became a full time minister in my late teens.

  1000 Years is Like 1 Day?

  anyone else hear about this.

  as all j-dubs know, whenever someone complains about how long the "new system" is taking too arrive, they use the excuse that jehovah works on his own time.

  quite a few times during the public talks, i've heard speakers say the phrase "1000 years to us is only one day to jehovah" (my parents never stop talking about this).

  JeffT...........please, please, please stop using your 'worldly' 'Satan based' accounting education to try and figure out the meaning of Bible passages. You must leave that up to the 'fallible, error prone, uninspired but spirit directed' Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.(tm) Other than that, your post was utterly fantastic and 'smirk worthy' to the highest degree!

  Crisis of Conscience - The Movie

  i know... how cool would that be??!.

  having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?

  obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!
