The feeling I get is that most JWs believe (even if they won't say it) that Armageddon will come in October of this year. And when that doesn't happen they will look to 2034.

What is the "new" date JWs are "hinting" at for Armaggeddon?
by booker-t inafter the 1975 "we did not say point blank armaggeddon was coming we only suggested it might come" fiasco what is the new date jws are "hinting" at for armaggeddon?
i know now they do not point to any specific date but hint that maybe it might occur such as before 2000 the preaching work will be finished.
this is a suggestion not a prediction so they can wiggle out of this one.

I have a couple of inlaws who are the superpioneer type and pull this crap. That scripture about the Pharisees praying to be seen nails it for me. Gag alert!

Sure a shortened video is a good idea. But let's not be too harsh here. I enjoyed watching this myself and felt like some good points were made.

In the small town where I grew up the numbers are ridiculously low. In the larger city I live in now I've never seen so many JWs die. The congregations are made up of very old people and the young ones who are there are born-ins who often leave the first chance they get.

OMG exwhyzee that's horrible! I'm so sorry.
Your post reminds me of a woman in the congregation I grew up in who claimed her non-JW husband was a horrible man who beat her and opposed the Witnesses. When I grew up I found out he was actually a great guy and that she was a loon.

So I started thinking about my childhood and what the commercial would be like for people like myself.
It would go something like this:
"Remember when your dad made you wear a suit and tie four times a week?" (Tuesday and Thursday nights, Saturday and Sunday mornings).
"Remember when your dad told you that the world would end before you graduated high school?" (And now you've been out over 20 years).
"Remember when your dad threatened to tear down the house you lived in if you didn't start going to meetings again?" (Because at the time I was living in my grandpa's house after he died and it was on my father's property.)
So, how about you?
How would a Father's Day commercial look from your perspective?

I totally relate to your situation. Every time I spend time with a JW, even when I like them as a person, it just becomes exhausting to be around all their JW bullcrap, which they invariably bring up because their life revolves around it.

A MESSAGE to the Governing Body and others like them through human history
by Terry inthere is something all too familiar about it, something that sickens the stomach and reminds us how low and prejudiced evil minds can go.. those who divide humans up in order to weaken and conquer them will stop at nothing if not counterfeit reasoning to justify their evil.. .
the arguments made in the past and the arguments made in the present have a familiar ring to them and the false clanger is a note of warning!.
"if you give women the right to vote, you're just doubling the vote of their husband.".

I'm with Terry 100 percent on this. Well said! And fuck that other noise about tender hearts.
