If you can't take it with you how about leaving your stuff with me ? Sounds more like another fraud where they hope to reach heaven standing on a pile of money.

The Rapture is COMING!!!! SOON!!!!
by brotherdan inbiblical scholar's date for rapture: may 21, 2011theologyjanuary 01, 2010|by justin berton, chronicle staff writerformer civil engineer harold camping of oakland, who runs family radio, has studied the bible for almost 70 years.credit: lance iversen / the chronicleharold camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.. "that date has not one stitch of biblical authority," camping says from the oakland office where he runs family radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world.
"it's like a fairy tale.".
the real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.. the mayans and the recent hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but camping has been at this business for a long time.

Why I Like the "Proclaimers" Book
by t33ap80c inwhile it is true that the "proclaimers" book is not always as open and honest about the society's history as it claims to be, it is open and honest enough to bring into question the society claim to being god's organization.
it's a matter of (1) knowing what to look for, (2) where to find it and then, (3) to be able get the sense of what it means.. take for example the extremely important matter of the second coming of christ.... on the top of page 47 the book truthfully explains how president charles russell came to believe that jesus returned invisibly in 1874 to begin his second coming ("invisible presence").
and then a careful reading of the footnote on page 133 shows that the date of jesus' return was not changed to 1914 until 1943.. it is likely that even if some witnesses notice that fact, they do not get the sense of what it means.

So you're saying they condemned anyone that refused the 1874 date just like they did any who argue on 1914?

Why are witnesses being "Persecuted" in certain countries?
by finallyfree! infor the most part this "persecution" is confined to countries where political balance can change on the drop of a dime.
watchtower witnesses who go door to door will speak of their religious views which include not voting or supporting the political parties.
where the watchtower control a percentage of the population through their kingdom halls and they turn people off from voting they have in effect formed their own type of independant political organization.

They are not only disliked for their condemnation of everybody and everything that disagrees with them they also take up allot of time fighting things in court and it can cost a fortune to prosecute cases so slows down the worlds political process. They are run by lawyers that believe fighting in courts is the same of giving a witness. I think using the courts actually makes you part of the political system .

Political/Religious rant
by sabastious ini've noticed that humans work better in small groups of like minded individuals.
the congregation books studies were always more enjoyable than the kingdom hall meetings to speak from a jw perspective.. when more people get involved the worse the scanario can get.
not to say all large groups are corrupt or even to say that all small groups are benign.

The idea behind democracy was that the people elect like minded politicians, it's supposed to be run by a majority vote. What we get is completely different with corporate fascism taking control. Our government is bought and paid for . The WTBTS interpreted the babylonian harlot as being devoured by the UN not burned with fire . The UN will probably go after all the wealth of it's NGO members and also realizing that religion is what is causing many problems will outlaw their practice. IMO

by InterestedOne ini'm fully aware that this is a cult, and i was waiting for the social elements to kick in.
so far, i have just been doing the "bible study," discussing doctrine, etc.
however, recently one of the elders said he wants to get together with me to do other activities.

Voting a conscience matter??
by Cynisister inhappy new year one and all!,.

attended a jw memorial talk yesterday
by man in black inafter being da'd for two years, i felt it was my duty to attend the memorial talk for an elderly brother who i greatly respected over the years.. i was quite nervous going back to the kh and seeing everyone.. well, my wife and i walked in, and most of the elders we saw just looked away, or acted like we were invisible.
several of our old friends winked, smiled, or waved secretly.
the hall was full, and this elder named jeff renfroe placed us in the 2nd row from the front.

They really are a bunch of inconsiderate A holes . What gets me is how they talk about being considerate and respectful in the publications then in practice they are petty small minded oafs .
