so who was president of the WTBTS in 1942 ? The first time I've seen mention of them stating the league would return prior to the event. Anyway it is clearly a king in satans service .

Memorial - Why do i keep going?

by maisha in

every year i attend, missing only 5 in 50 years.. i do not attend meetings nor active in anyway, my family shun me,(all devote believers) but i do feel drawn to attend each year.

i am out for sure, but i no longer have faith, or a belief in any religous body as being approved by god.. i am so screwed up now i not sure if i believe in a creator!, let alone who or what that may be.. i was born into the truth, married into the truth and my ex is devote.. i could never return to the cult now seeing it for what it is.. i served, donated, slaved for years happy to do so as has all my family.. i went out of my way to get df, sort of a wanting to die act, of rejecting the society.. i used to sit in a movie in my youth and think, wow i am so lucky, all these people are going to die and i will live forever.. even just typing this gives release to my emotions,, lol,,, yea i have many emotions,,, many regrets, basically the organisation i followed and the instructions destroyed my life in every possible way.. the power plays that i witnessed within are what first woke me up,,,at first i let it go, forgiving those involved as brothers do.

but again and again power and position is and was the thing to have, you got the power you got everything.

Maybe you just like being shunned . That is strange to go and know they will all snub you as an apostate . It's the one day a year sister or brother holier than thou shows they aren't worthy after all. That talk they give is really lame , all about why you aren't worthy , the only religion in the world that can't have a church dinner without ridiculous guide lines .

I am so confused by the JW's saying the UN is the 8th king

by booker-t in

jw
friends

has jw's always taught this that the un is the 8th king?

i just happen to stumble across the june study watchtower at my aunt's home and glanced throught the mag and saw this teaching.

i don't remember the jw's teaching this back when i was in.

heathen

it's in their video as well , I think it's called, bible accurate prophesy, or something like that. In revelation it does say that the kings of the earth give their authority to the scarlet beast which is owned by satan , so maybe we're actually talking about satan as the 8th king .

Anyone watching "Walking Dead?" Yikes!

by Wasanelder Once in

season two is almost done.

anyone watching?

do you think any self respecting jw would watch this show?

heathen

Been following it . That hooded character with the zombies on chains at the end was pretty odd . I wonder what's planned for that .

Could the Governing Body be the "Evil Slave" of Matt. 24:48-51?

by matt2414 in

48 but if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, my master is delaying, 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.

there is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.

see if this browser works. I've never heard them say those words or seen them beat anyone since most would get their ass handed to them if they tried but I do accuse them of treason to the crown in heaven when they changed to earthly governments having the right to rule on earth after saying the world ended invisibly in 1914 , they pulled that trick with the UN in order to use UN ships to send supplies to disaster areas . romans 13 is a farce . IMO

Watchtower admits the KISS method works - Nov 1, 2011 WT, p. 24

by Alleymom in

the following posts and graphics refer to the k.i.s.s.

(keep it simple, sweetie) approach to 587/586 bce,.

which i introduced on july 12, 2003.. here is a link to the original thread:.

heathen

Yah well I'd freak if they did away with 1914 as the beginning of the end since 607 bc works just right with that one , they also calculated the arrival of christ at john the baptist using 607 . So now they are claiming there were periods of no ruling king in babylon ?

Bizarre 'Spirit anointed' v. 'Spirit appointed' explanation in Dec 15th WT

by cedars in

hi everyone, i am going through the dec 15th study edition of the wt thanks to a tip-off that this issue is now available online at jw.org.. in the article "guided by god's spirit in the first century and today" on page 25 there is a bizarre argument put forward by the society about the difference between spirit-anointed and spirit-appointed.. this touches on a subject that i have often wondered about, which is this.

why are spirit anointed brothers and sisters (memorial partakers) not given positions of oversight in the congregation by default?

i know it sounds like a stupid question, but please think about it for a moment.

heathen

here we go again these people that think this board is here for them to be insulting instead of a place to disguss things .If you don't want to discuss the topic please go else where.
