Big Announcement

by choosing life in

jw
friends

i can't help but wonder why if there is really some ground shaking announcement coming that the elders already know, then why has no one posted any real information about it?

i was under the impression that there are active elders on this forum.

why are they holding back?

earthtone

You know I was wondering the same thing. I thought we had elders on this board too, but maybe they just use to be elder like W.A.E.

But I sure wished someone would crack and tell us what's going on. The suspense is killing me

Does the GB truly beleive they are being used by God

what do you think?.

i have a hard time accepting the fact that intelligent men truly beleive the creator has a special arrangement with them and somehow they are being used in a special position because of one scripture about the faithful and discreet slaves.. they should all be locked up in a nut house for beleiving that.

earthtone

I think they know, but are too wrap up in it to tell everyone that it is a lie. Think about how they would get sued! They in too deep now, it's probably easier to continue on with the illusion than to face the reality

why do people continue to read 3rdwitnesses post?

they are long and boring!

earthtone

I never thought of it like that. Good points. Especially since most of the time he can barely defend his self or when he does he uses the same arguement to counter every question thrown his way.

Oh well, I'll just ignore him then. lol

Why do people continue to read 3rdwitnesses post? They are long and boring! I never read them I just read you all responses to figure out what he's talking about. I say we should all boycott his post by not responding... at least until he can make them shorter!

Who is an Apostate?

by thirdwitness in

here is an interesting link http://www.tjdefendidos.org/ and here is an english translation of the article on that site about apostates testimony.

is the testimony of apostates reliable?

sometimes, the mass media offer testimonies of people who used to be jehovah's witnesses as a means of finding out more about our religion.

What's the official JW Spin on Rev.19:1

by PopeOfEruke in

does anyone know the official jw spin on revelation 19:1 which says: .

rev 19:1- after these things i heard what was as a loud voice of a great crowd in heaven.

this plainly identifies the great crowd being in heaven.

earthtone

I guess the great crowd are the 144000.

Seriously I'm sure it's in th revelation book but I don't have one. They probably say something about it being symbolic, yeah that it. Everything else will be literal and we will make this part symbolic. That sounds like just their style.

Are some people better off staying in the WTS?

i read this forum alot.

though i don't post very often, i thought i would share the following thoughts.

my mother is 70, and lives alone (my parents separated and divorced about 23 years ago).

earthtone

Halfway, I totally understand you wanting to tell her the truth about the WTS. I couldn't hold my tongue either and now my mom is not talking to me. sighs. Was it worth it to prove a point. No, I knew she would take it there.
