Whatcha all talkin' bout?
They have always taught that
+ "this generation" was subject to an overlap.
+ the Governing Body (and not the entire anointed) are the Faithful and Discreet Slave.
+ nobody knows the time and date, and we never said 1914, 1925, 1975, the 20th Century or any of that as the start of the Great Tribulation.
+ The numbers in the Bible, including 144,000 are figurative.

New Light on the 144,000?
by Ding insomeone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.
1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.

Gunna keep avoiding the hot button issues here.
I just wanted to say that I am helping Alyssa Milano. I am on the sex strike with her. Even if she begs me, I won't have sex with Alyssa Milano.

I think women who want to do so already go on sex strikes whenever they want to.
Men never use sex (or holding out) to get what they want.
Why?
Because sex IS what men want. -

No More After 34 (2034)
by blondie inmy husband and i were discussing the rally cry shortly before 1975, stay alive in 75 (1975), some here believe that the end might come in 2034 (some tongue in cheek) counting 120 years from 1914 the same internal between when god supposedly pronounced judgment on the people on the earth before the flood would come.. so it could be, no more after 34. i thought it was good and funny at the same time..

Nothing surprises me because of their being backed against a wall.
But I honestly expect that they will just cease to talk about the 144K, saying the number is full and continue to belittle the fakers and then they will open up the Governing Body to "helpers."
No matter which way they go, some will balk at it, some will leave over it, some will just say "Whatever!" -

If ever confronted by JW's attempting to "reason" with me, no matter what they say, I will say "...but that is subject to an overlap."

Your title says "no home address" and your comment says "now has my home address."
I don't recall which it was. Which one is the latest- with or without your home address? -

What’s The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus inwitnesses brag about their brotherhood and incredible love that exists within the organization.
they say they are really the only true religion.
is the jw religion the closest thing to jesus christ himself?.

The worst thing about JW's is what they do to kids- ostracize them from schoolmates, make them paranoid about wanting a piece of birthday cake or holiday candy, keep them from after-school activity, prevent them from regular dating as they grow older and tell them they shouldn't go to college.
Kids are wired differently if they grow up JW. When they figure out it's all a cult, it's very hard for them to move into a regular life, plus they may lose all contact with people they love in their family.Oh, and they encourage them to say they would rather die before violating bullshit Watchtower laws about blood.

Why I now believe Jehovah's witnesses are a cult!
by UnshackleTheChains ini always tended to avoid using the word 'cult' to describe jehovah's witnesses.
instead, i preferred referring to them as a 'high control group'.
however, having watched the shocking and bizarre behaviour by so called jehovah's witness elders toward eric wilson (borean pickets), this now confirms beyond any doubt in my mind that the watchtower organisation is nothing more than a cult.. i would seriously encourage everyone to watch the video in it's entirety and see how truly cultlike they are.. my jaw still hitting the floor 😮.

When I left and had heard of (or even youtubed) information on judicial matters, I realized how much of a stooge I was on their side.
I had been an elder at judicial matters and usually was the note-taker because I was pretty good at that.
But to take somebody into a private meeting where the prosecution is the judge and jury also, to deny them another person for their own protection, let alone as a witness to deny charges, to prevent them from bringing notes in that might be evidential- all sheer folly.Further, I liked the valid comparison made here: Pedophiles know the rules about two or more witnesses and avoid that happening. Judicial Committees do the same thing to an accused- make sure there are not two or more witnesses to the procedures.
