this study article poses questions that we should ask ourselves.
don't have time to analyze the whole thing, so will start from paragraph 8:.
8 do gods promises seem less real to me now than they once did?
Do God’s promises seem less real to me now than they once did? For instance, God has promised to destroy the present system of things.
For instance, Jehovah is a large-scale terrorist. It's not just that those promises seem less real, it's that those promises are barbaric and disgustingly evil. What kind of a promise is that? A promise to murder billions of innocent people? Sick.

Is Religion Dying Out?
"Why the Exodus?
I guess they haven't heard of Islam. Why does Watchtower Corp ignore the entire Muslim world as if they don't exist?
blondies highlights from the 11-15-2015 wt study (september 15, 2015)(faith).
excellent general website: www.jwfacts.com .
wt publications http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/archive.htm (old).
Rather than looking at the example of Peter's faith, wouldn't it be appropriate to look at the example of the faith of Islamic extremists?
Both JWs and terrorists pray for the deaths of billions of innocent victims, focus on their supposed reward in paradise, and put faith in invisible promises instead of look at reality. While the terrorists are ready to bloody their own hands and blow themselves up, the JWs stand by litteratrash trolleys, knock on doors at inconvenient times, leave scraps of tracts that blow into the gutter, and boast a website that gets buried under an avalanche of anti-JW websites.
Shouldn't WT be going head-to-head in the Middle East and make great efforts to convert the devoutly faith-strong Muslim world to become JWs?

Another 21 "last days" have passed since this thread started. So that would be 3 "last weeks" and almost 1 "last month" that have passed.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that 21 days puts that in the "false prophecy" category.
a bethelite was telling me that there are 83,000 theocratic facilities world wide.
he compared that to 35,000 mcdonalds and 21,000 starbucks roughly to show the size of the theocratic organization.
i am not sure where the 83,000 comes from what would he be counting?

Yet, McDonald's and Starbucks don't need to send agents door-to-door or have litteratrash trolleys blocking the flow of traffic to try to drum up new business.
i went to the meeting last night.
to keep the peace for now, i guess.
anyway...... during the bible highlights, a newly appointed ms explained why construction is being curtailed in some areas.
The explanation was to be found in 1 Chronicles where David went through all the work of preparing materials for the temple, but was then informed that he would not be the one to build it.
It would be reasonable to conclude then that the current GB 2.0 is the Greater David and will be followed by the next GB 3.0 which will be the Greater Solomon. This Greater Solomon GB will build cities and palaces, marry the daughter of Pharaoh and 700 other wives. This GB will also have 300 concubines for when things get slow with the wives, because Jehovah made him extra wise on figuring out these things. But then these wives will draw the Greater Solomon GB's heart away from Jehovah so that they begin worshiping other gods.
there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".
Is he married?
Maybe you should start texting his wife to check on her meeting attendance and spiritual activities?
wanted to say hi.
i've been lurking for a long time.
i also spend time on other forums.
Welcome!
Always room here for more of the Awakened!
