  Proof the GB does not really believe the end is comming.....

  by Albert Einstein in

  if you were a leader of a small group that should survive a worldwide disaster and will be left on their own, not being able to use now common services would you:.

  a) encourage your members to learn all possible skills and to get all possible today available education, maybe even organized "who will learn what" to cover really every aspect of future life and to be really prepared ..... or.

  b) discurage your members from education, letting them just sit home or at meetings and keep repeating: "the end is comming, the end is comming ... be ready, the end is comming...".

  All Ex-Elders, Mr.Flipper going to Final MeetingW/Elders! I'll be careful!

  hello ex-elders, onthe wayout, snakes, and wilyloman, just to refresh about a month ago i told you all that the appeal committee had overturned the disfellowshipping decision by the original jc as the appeal committee got a hold of me by phone and told me the society gave them direction in this.

  i have since explained the situation to my witness mom and dad, 80 &82, they are good with it.

  i am taking copies of the counsel you ex elders gave to me to be careful about what i say at this "alleged encouragement" meeting and promise you this, i'll watch my words carefully when they ask me questions.

  A question for guys

  when using a public restroom, how do you feel when a complete stranger pulls into the urinal right next to you and starts up a conversation with you?

  do you feel indifferent, slightly uncomfortable, or violated?.

  or are you one of the weirdos who does this?.

  here are two instances where i had had enough and confronted people when they were being rude.

  was i over the top??

  instance 1.. i was at the supermarket and there was a group of kids (~17-19 years old), wanna-be hoodlums, hangin out in the produce section and two or so of them were eating sunflower seeds and spiting them on the floor.. i said in a loud voice (i was ~10 ft away) "hey- are you throwing shit on the floor?!

  Don't be offended by no eye contact, many neurological disorders and psychological syndromes have this (lack of) behaviour as trademarks.

  No... only about the end of the age (a mistranslation in the KJV says "world" instead of "age") talking about the transition from the age of piesces to aquarius (enter into the house of the man carrying a pitcher of water...)

  Why December 25 is the Most Important Day to JWs

  by notyetx in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the philosophical underpinning of most jw belief is the notion of "otherness.

  " jws must stand out and become a "theatrical spectacle" before a wanton and profligate world.

  part of this comes from the stories of first century christian martyrdom.

  We are all recycled star stuff harvesting starlight. We are all sameness. There is nothing to feel but connectedness.

  Was Jesus born in the fall or in the spring?

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know it wasn't december.

  the wt has always said the first part of october.

  the reasoning i remember is that they calculate that jesus' ministry was 3-1/2 years long; and since jesus died in the spring of 33 ce, he must have been baptized in the fall of 29 ce.

  The only confirmed sources for his existance are three Roman sources that only refer to Christus... or Christ the title, none about the birth. Josephus' account has long been proved false. He didn't make it into the historical record, sorry mate.
