  if his message was to be followed like a rule book, wouldn't he have written down some things with his own hand?.

  Yeah, definately.

  I was always an intelligent kid, had an IQ of 155 and became a window cleaner part time.

  It's only now in my late thirties that i'm getting a degree. I was angry for many years that i had no education and done menial jobs most of my life.

  I have been listening to the news about the cases in the UK. Apparently they have mild symptoms, more like a normal flu, rather than the killer disease the media have been talking of.

  To put it into perspective 250,000 to 500,000 people dies from seasonal flu each year. It seems to be the old, infirm and the vulnerable, i.e. those in poverty that seem more susceptable to this flu.

  From what i've heard it's a different strain than seasonal flu, so our bodies have no immunity to it. Because of that the WHO are expecting more deaths, but it's not a case that everyone who contracts it is going to die or even be seriously ill.

  I was reading about the boy who had the first reported case in Mexico, he's fine now, yes he was ill but not to the extent the media portray.

  never before 1995...no date or period for the end...we are in uncharted waters

  by oompa in

  2. beliefs

  right now.......and since 1995.....wt has no real teaching to show how close we are to the end......none......most dubs prob dont even know......but wt has always been about dates.....and how close the end is to those dates......but now.....since we unplugged the generation of 1914 to the end of the world.......and now that we are still recruiting the anointed for heaven......the last days can last and last and last......duh...that is why they are called the last days!!

  !........and so do they still teach it is "very, very near" (only used one time in wt)....or "imminent" ??

  ?......just a year ago i think?.......so how close do they say we are now and why?.........damm the bible is soooo clear that nobody knows the day or hour...yet i bet they still say is just around the corner (based on what scripture!?!??!?!?!)..........

  That's because it's a time for 'testing'.

  There is a 'sifting' going on. Plus nobody know the day or the hour, but it's soon, so close, very near and just around the corner brothers.

  Pioneer School - Class Photo

  by Mattieu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all, at the conclusion of my pioneer school we took a group photo with the instructors.

  we had to chip in $$ to hire a professional photographer (who was a brother).

  it is a custom with all pioneer schools in australia to take a class photo with the instructors (much like gilead photo).. do they do that in any other countries?

  its has been almost two decades if i am correct since ray franz released the heartbreaking books: "crisis of conscience" and "in search of christian freedom".

  since then, many of us have been released from bondage of the wts and set free.

  by the way, where is ray franz today, what is he doing?
