  The Wine Thread.

  if you enjoy a glass of vino now and then, tell us what you like and how your tastes got to where they are now.

  wine snobs & non-snobs alike welcome!.

  my intro to the world of wine was my jw parents buying a huge screw-top bottle of paul masson or gallo red or white, having half a glass, and sticking it out on the back porch thinking that wine stayed good like that.

  If your going to bring up anything about the WTS or any doubts you have make sure it's one on one.

  Do your homework well and stick to the topic you have chosen and do not deveate off it till he and you has fully explaned things.

  The JW's like nothing more than to change the subject when they can't answer.

  Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

  i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

  how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

  It's unbelavable that they deny they did'nt say the big A was comming in 1975.

  I was at an Assembly in 1974 and GB mamber Leo Greenlies said "This is possably the last assembly this side if Armageddon"

  So many watchtower And Awake articles predicted it.

  Alot of the Elders around today were not around in 75 or if they were they deny it.

  I liveded through it and saw 1st hand the histeria.

  In 1977 when they were loseing members flat out Natthan Norr went around the world giveing speachers one of the things he said "In the highly unlikley event we see the year 2000''

  Earthquake in N.Z.

  by smiddy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i guess the witnesses are rejoicing over the death and destruction of the latest earthquake in n.z.as proof of the imminent coming of armageddon,and their deliverance into the "new world system of things" i can just see it now ,the kh`s in nz will be filled to overflowing in the next month,......then in six months later it will be back to the status quo.. p.s when jesus said their would be" earthquakes in one place after another" couldn`t he have identified these areas for the faithfull ?

  so at least beleivers would have been spared the trauma ?

  of course non beleivers would have suffered the consequences,but why should beleivers suffer also ?.

  The 1st one last september was 7.2 but this one was shallow so much more destruction.
