Interesting developments
by SickofLies inhello everyone, remember me?
for those of you who are new i produced a documentary on disfellowshiping in the kingdom hall.
the interesting thing is that i was df'ed not for committing and 'gross' sin, as you might think, but i was df'ed of litterally asking to many questions.. anyway, i've heard the following news co's and do's in the us are talking about my case, i have been barred from ever entering a kingdom hall again (police notice was enfocred on me) and for some reason i have been getting calls from elders from the hall i was booted out of lately (i have not returned or answered the calls as of yet).

There is no comeback for it. It's true. Jehovah's Witnesses have a lot of things wrong, but the date of Jerusalem's destruction (or beginning of it's desolation by Medo-Persia) is not one of them.

At what point did the WTS become overly controlling?
by jambon1 ini used to hear about good `ol days when people were happy dubs.
people had fun, did things together and it seems by the tone of the converstaions that there was less control over every tiny detail of the brothers lives.. i remember the 1st time someone told me as an unbaptised publisher that i would eventually be 'counceled' for not wearing a suit.
i was utterly stunned!

The true authoritarian-type rule of the Society really began with Knorr throughout his term as president. Rutherford was too busy trying to make a name for himself or he might have been a success in controlling the organization better. Russell, though, taught nothing even resembling what JW's teach today. Russell knew that each person's relationship was between them and God and that their works wouldn't buy them life.

Help with info on the Greek word 'Kairos'
by drew sagan inas many of you know, the bible text at luke 21:8 has become a major issue for me.
i decided that it would be proper to do some more in depth research of the text, as well as the words contained in the text.
this is all going to be complied and put togeather in a letter that i am going to send to the society.

Drew, not sure of what you're specifically looking for in regards to kairos, but I'll offer some general comments about it.
It is of interest that kairos is used in scripture to denote a set time-frime for something. Like at Matthew 26:18, the Greek kairos is used when Jesus is talking about "the time appointed of my death". In other instances where "time" is used in it's common form, the Greek chronos is most likely used. So Jesus is obviously referring to people who would usurp the title of Messiah and claim "the time for Israel to be restored is here".
Hope that helped, or at least showed the contrast between the 2 usages of "time" in the scriptures.

Russel a zionist
by cousin Z incharles taze russel was a zionist, yet today's wt has nothing to do with it.
what happened, what scriptures do they use to defend their position and why do they talk so much about the end of the world yet when you bring up israel, the ingathering and how the world is focused on destroying israel and the jews,they totally discount it as nothing.

If Russell were alive today, he would promptly be disfellowshipped. Not just for the Zionist leanings, either. Russell would have a major problem with the authoritarian leadership/caste system within the organization.

What is going on here ...
by In Between inall of a sudden, there are a lot of members that have been here for a long time posting their 'good-byes... .
could it be that we are all wrong and they have gone back to the 'truth'?

Well, to be honest, I think many are leaving JWD because the general feeling of the site is negative. It's a good place to come to have your spirits brought down and that's about it. Not a whole lot of useful information that helps people who have left the organization. And for those who will be quick to flame me for this, stop and think for just one minute, and you MIGHT see what I'm talking about, but probably not.
