it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".

the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.

the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

How long was it for you?

i'm curious: how many years were you in before you left?

by left, i mean either df'd and decided not to go back, or da'd, or faded, or even just realized it was a crock but stuck around anyway for family reasons?.

we're told in la-la-land that it's the newly baptized, those who are "spiritually immature" that mostly leave.

the following "dictionary" may be very discomforting to true believers of jehovah's organization.

Look for internet bashing at district assemblies.

i have no doubt in my mind that the society will bash the internet with a part at the district assemblies.

the reason i say this is because if you look at the worldwide reports there has been a decline in publishers in the more industrialized countries who have access to the internet.. some of the brothers and sisters are finding out the contradictions that we hold in regards to some of our teachings and the constant change of views on issues of voting, blood, donations, new light ect.... for example do any of you know that in bulgaria you will not be disfellowshipped if you take a blood transfusion.

yes that's right, you will not be disfellowshipped because the society signed a document with the european commission promising not to take sanctions against any of it's members if they choose to take blood, in exchange for legal status in that country.
