Damn, that was crazy! I don't think I could've focused enough to say as much as you did, but I liked how you stayed with one subject and carried it through. Maybe it'll make him think twice about the bOrg...

WTS Preparing for Tribulation?
by Smoky ina active jw friend, just recently commented to me that the co said all these changes (eg.. 30 min.
public talk, less magazines publications...etc.
) is a sign of the great tribulation is sooooo close now, and the wts is preparing.. i chuckled, when he said that.

That is crazy. So the reason they're selling their properties is because...the end is coming soon? What are they going to do with all the money? Pay their way in to Paradise?
How is having 30 minutes of public talk time/one less Asleep magazine going to help ANYONE survive the tribulation?
I heard that the tribulation had already started.. in Mexico. That tribulation is actually people becoming materialistic and not focusing on God.... (this is what I heard from one of my aunts in Mexico...)

what is the official JW view on bible students?
by hamilcarr inwhile visiting some bible students sites, i wondered what the official jw view on these organizations is.
are they part of babylon the great simply because of refuting the post-1916 developments and the governing body?
as far as i know, they do not adhere to any of the false teachings jw like to refer to in debunking the rcc and traditional protestantism, such as hellfire, trinity, immortal soul.

According to the WT, the only sincere bible students are those who adhere to WT teachings.
Everyone else belongs to the evil slave class.
In fact, the most sincere bible student close to our century was a man named.. C.T. Russell, I believe? I heard he started up a mega-billion dollar religious publishing company...

Kids Still Get Whacked @ Armageddon. Current Light. (With Pix!)
by Open mind inif you've clicked around on other sites, you can find the troubling picture i grew up with from the old orange paradise lost book.
a big old armageddon earthquake that is swallowing up people, churches, a bicycle, a dog!
) and of course, a little girl in a dress that is indelibly planted in my memory chips.

Wow, that is crazy. Most dubs are zombified at the meetings to notice or think about stuff like that.

Why I am going to call the WTS headquarters on February 1...

What?! You were denied a job based on being DA'd?? Hell no, don't let this one slide.
How come people don't wake up to this? Whatever happened to human decency? "Love your neighbor" is, what, the 2nd most high commandment Jesus gave his followers?
I'm on your side, bro!

by Witness 007 inmy plan = go to all the memorials in our triple sized hall and partake of all wines...first i pick up the glass check it's texture, sniff it...then down the hatch..."mmmm excellent vintage quiet fruity with a hint of cinnamon.
" then when the bread arrives ill say "no thank you i'm on the atkin's diet.

isaacaustin is right. There could be some people on the edge of leaving, and this type of behavior could push them right back into "Mother's" arms.

Literature published by Charles Russell that is locked away.
by Bjort inwhen i was a teenager, my family and i had the privilege of visiting the watch tower society, receiving an extensive tour as we had longtime friends working there.
while visiting we were walking past a locked chamber with many many books in it that absolutely no one was able to touch or read.
this was literature that was written/published by charles taze russell.

I don't think it would stumble any normal JW if they were to read what was in those books. The WT obviously get "new light" from God all the time, so that stuff is ancient history and should no longer be followed.
(I'm being sarcastic...)
Seriously, though, didn't anyone think to ask the Tour Guide why that room was locked up?

Mine's in denial. I try telling my mom things, but she doesn't quite understand when I bring up Acts 15, or that the WT teaches that Jesus isn't our Mediator...etc.

Excellent comments, man! I was reading these at work and was laughing throughout. But right at the end when you said:
"Well we sure learned a lot today, didn't we? We learned how to string scriptures together to make them say anything we want. We also learned how we should hate our worldly neighbors because Jehovah doesn't like them. But Jesus loves them. But that doesn't matter because Jesus is only the “son of man”. Therefore, it is likely that Jesus will be destroyed on Jehovah's day because he loves his neighbors who are “the world of unrighteous human society.”
OMG I just about fell off the damn chair when I read this conclusion!
Anyways, this article was terrible, one of the WT's worst. I don't know who's writing for these magazines anymore, but they're pretty much just expressing static, random thoughts nowadays... or maybe that's the way it's always been..?
