How about going as Moses ? Get a nice long robe and a staff.Make sure your name badge simply says: "Moses" on it.Some might mistakenly think you're part of the drama but if they ask you can tell them you're just a bit late because Beth-Sarim was sold too early.In fact, Armageddon WOULD HAVE happened in 1975 but you couldn't get a room......and worldwide destruction requires lots of planning.The WT has been holding up the show this whole time !

hi randy.

some stats you may not have.

latest stats from elders meeting [usa].

BreakingAway

2000 have left bethel in the last 3 years
of which 225 became special pioneers

Thanks for the info.So approx. 89% have decided not to become Special Pioneers.I'd imagine that at least some of them have had their eyes opened as a result of this.

it is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, has a 115-foot deep end, and holds 66 million gallons of water: this one took five years to build, cost nearly 1 billion, and the annual maintenance bill will be 2 million.. .

If Satan is such a good guy then.................................

some of you blame jehovah for every atrocity and every disaster that has ever occured on this earth, from a-z.. if satan is such a good guy, as some of you have stated, then why doesn't he do anything to help mankind?.

In many ways it seems like the roles of God and Satan are reversed.Maybe the original writer got them mixed up and all the rest followed the error ? I can the see the scribe conversation now...

"Bob ! Are you fnished with writing this stuff yet ?"

"Well...not exactly"

"What do you mean "not exactly" ?

"Well, it's this whole God and Satan thing.....the names are kind of blurry and I'm not sure who's who ? Plus, we're going on vacation soon and if I don't get this thing done by Tuesday my wife will kill me ! "

"You've got a fifty/fifty chance...just do it ! "

"Alright, let's see here....this guy seems kind of bad... but this one does too..OH wait ! This one kicked these people out of the garden, increased their pain, punished their unborn children,killed nearly everything in a flood,including the innocent animals, always asks for sacrifices, told someone to kill their kid to show he was faithful, used a guy as a pawn to show he was a good servant and then after he lost all of his children and everything else he chastised him for not knowing enough,wouldn't allow another guy who led his people around for forty years into the land he promised because of a misstep even though he preaches forgiveness but he still forgave a guy who sacrificed his children in fire and led the nation in doing so, he also sacrificed his own son,commanded genocide, and plans the destruction of nearly everything on earth in the future and says he will howl in laughter when what they fear most comes !"

"Hmmmmmm......But this other guy did get them to eat the fruit ! I think I've got it now ! "

Just had to laugh at Oulaw's little "Deviled Eggs" guys ! Especially, since I used to get corrected as a JW whenever I called them that.Somebody would be like: "Um...we call them "stuffed eggs".

State truthful facts about Atheists that make them look bad, weird, foolish

by Finally-Free in

this is to complement the http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/160129/1.ashx and http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/160192/1.ashx threads.. i'd hate to have anyone feel left out.

I will even add my own perspective to this list. I have never dealt with a more rude, callous, backstabbing, smart mouthed bunch, until I started conversing with Atheists on here. They are worse than the JW's. (if that's even possible in my book).

Then perhaps you've been using "selective hearing" because sadly I've seen a number of believers who represent the very fruits which you mentioned....and I might add feel fully justified in doing so because they feel the "heathens" deserve it.One even said that the reason a number don't believe in God is because they're a personal failure and they just want to blame it all on God ! Nice ! I wonder if Christ, who admonished one to show mercy, pray for and forgive their "enemy", would approve of a such an attitude ?

@@@ JW Brother in Law in ICU, WTBTS, they SUCK @@@

by FlyingHighNow in

he is 67. he is diabetic.

he has pneumonia and sepsis.

the had to helicopter him from truth or consequences, nm to las cruzes during the night.

BreakingAway

I'm very sorry to hear this FlyingHighNow.I knew quite a few Witnesses that all they wanted to do was die.Some had extremely high blood pressure, or other problems, but were reluctant to do anything about it because they just wanted to "go to sleep and wake up in the new world".Of course, JW's aren't the only ones that feel this way but I do think the unique stress and pressure of being a Witness seriously aggravates the problem.And the course of life of unnatural denial which can lead to severe financial problems, strained relations, etc. heightens the desire for a "release".Sometimes one be so concentrated on what they hope lies ahead that they don't see what they have right now...until it's gone.To some extent, that kind of thinking has happened to nearly everyone at one time or another.The WT will suck the life right out of anyone that lets it.

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Mt.7:1-5
