  most congregrations have members of the tate family residing in their assigned territory, and some of these are poor associates.

  there is old man dictate who wants to organize everybody.

  uncle rotate wants to change everything, just when things are running smoothly.

  But what about brother Mutate, who keeps changing what he believes whenever there is new light?

  and sister Lactate - giving out the milk of human kindness...

  and brother Amputate, whose family have cut him off...

  and brother Levitate who is rising in the ranks...

  not like brother Prostate who is a pain in the arse...

  but most are like sister Vegetate and don't think at all, except her cousin, sister Cogitate.

  Then there is the excitable sister Palpitate, who is so happy about brother Reinstate coming back to the fold, helped by the elder brother Rehabilitate.

  Ok, this is getting silly now! :-)

  Earthquakes in one place after another

  by free2beme in

  i realize that in the 1990's, the witnesses changed their view on this thought of "earthquakes in one place after another" to be more figurative and not literal.

  yet most active witnesses still see them as signs of the end.

  i did when i was younger and something occurred to me today as i watched the news from pakistan.. did anyone ever have witnesses that expanded beyond the warning of this natural disaster (earthquakes) to include all natural disasters?

  Awake! March 22nd 2002 Issue: Earthquakes, Bible Prophecy, And You BEFORE his death, Jesus foretold events and situations that would give evidence that this world had entered 'the conclusion of the System or things.' That period, he said, would be marked by such things as' pestilences, food shortages, and large-scale warfare. He also mentioned 'great earthquakes' that would occur 'in one place after another.' (Matthew 24:3,7; Luke 21:10, 11) Was Jesus referring to our day? Many say no. They assert that the number of earthquakes has not substantially increased in recent decades. In fact, the U.S. National Earthquake Information Center reports that earthquakes of 7.0 magnitude' and greater remained 'fairly constant' throughout the 20th century.' Note, though, that the fulfilment of Jesus' prophecy does not require an increase in the number or power of earthquakes. All Jesus said was that there would be great earthquakes in 'one place after another.' Furthermore, he stated that these events would mark the 'beginning of pangs of distress.' (Matthew 24:8) Distress is measured; not by the number of earthquakes or how they rate on' the Richter scale, but by the effect that they have upon people. Some say that any reports of an increase in the number of earthquakes are simply due to advances in technology, which enable more seismic events to be detected.

  Also in the news:

  Teenagers (in the U.S.) are abstaining from sex until marriage in record numbers, resulting in plummeting unwanted pregnancies.

  What happened to the world 'advancing from bad to worse'?

  Do you really want as friends those who choose to downplay Bible-based direction?

  Is that really what they said? If so, it's the most important thing to come out of the WBTS in a long time - and it's VERY scary.

  This statement is the ultimate in mind control. The Society don't make rules, oh no, just give 'bible based direction'.

  (But heaven help you if you DON'T follow our 'suggestions' because we'll make sure your friends shun you).

  It's all about control...bloody cult.

  reading the newspapers over the past few weeks i have become aware of a massive groundswell of disillusionment regarding the united nations.. comments such as: .

  while the isg report provides embarrassing reading for all those who actively participated in saddam's scam, the real victim is the un itself, whose claim to the moral high ground when confronting rogue regimes and dictators now lies in tatters.. .

  yet the lofty words were made to an audience somewhat lacking in firepower.

  Reading the newspapers over the past few weeks I have become aware of a massive groundswell of disillusionment regarding the United Nations.

  Comments such as:

  While the ISG report provides embarrassing reading for all those who actively participated in Saddam's scam, the real victim is the UN itself, whose claim to the moral high ground when confronting rogue regimes and dictators now lies in tatters.

  and:

  Yet the lofty words were made to an audience somewhat lacking in firepower. There was no American president this time, or secretary of state. Instead a junior official was dispatched.

  For the UN's backers, this provided damning evidence that the Bush administration was determined to sour the party atmosphere. But six decades after the world created the UN to stifle war and to protect the rights of man, the organisation is in serious trouble.

  The world body is still staggering from a series of scandals. Some now question its future. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/06/27/wun27.xml

  are only the tip of the iceberg.

  A Google search on Oil-for-food or UN debacles reveals a catalogue of corruption and ineptitude on a massive scale.

  Many are calling for an end to the UN.

  While I think it unlikely that the UN will be disbanded, reform may make it unrecognizable from the entity that exists today.

  I was wondering though, considering the pivotal role the UN plays in the WT's prophecies, what a shock it would be to JWs if the UN DID go under!!!

  CHANGE in "Chosen ones approaching"

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years the wts said that the length of the great tribulation would be cut short on account of the annointed.. the wt study on the "given ones" said that the other sheep would have no need to fear after the anointed are all dead because god will protect them.

  ( this must be before the end, otherwise why do they need protection) others have shown from study articles that the wt now says all the anointed will be in heaven prior to armageddy.

  if this is the case, the tribulation cannot possibly pose a threat to the anointed.

  Huh? Missed that one - can anyone point us to the particular articles?

  The last I heard:

  ***Watchtower, Jan 15 th , 2000. Keep on the watch. Paragraph 18:

  Sixth, the number of genuine anointed disciples of Christ is dwindling, though some will evidently still be on earth when the great tribulation begins…Evidently, then, some of Christ’s ‘chosen ones’ will still be on earth when the great tribulation begins.
