i don't think the bible actually quotes God as saying he allows suffering to prove no kingdom can stand but his , but the prophesys all indicate the failure of mans governments to bring a eutopia.

latest public watchtower says issue has been settled. why no new system then
by therevealer in3. why has god allowed suffering?.
for a time, jehovah has tolerated rebellion.
to show that no.

"Who else are we to go away to?"
by simon17 into the intellectually honest witness, it seems like it often comes down to this principle.
"fine, if the witnesses aren't the truth, then show me the better answer and i'll consider it.
" and how do you deal with that?

I know that religion is a snare and a racket . Perhaps the wisest thing anybody ever said about it .

when it comes to religion especially , most people are living a lie . It's obvious that most religions are way beyond logic or reason. Not just in WT land. It's pretty obvious that the sayings of life have not been proven for any religion , since they deny spirit inspiration they can't claim to know who gets saved around here.

Breach of contract
by PYRAMIDSCHEME inas my journey to leave the wbts was in its infancy i was speaking to an old friend who had always been a surrogate mom to me.
i had pioneered with both her sons (one of which is now an elder, the other is gay).
i was addressing some of my concerns re: the wts.

It's probably to do with the book publishing corp . You probably did take an oath to obedience to it .

well jeeze let me guess the constant change in dogma again is going to say the kingdom doesn't rule ? The world didn't end invisibly now? I can't wait to see the follow up on this one .

3/15 WT " Do Not Deceive Yourself "- WT's Excuses for No Armageddon
by flipper inwith the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.
the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.
so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !

LMAO - they just can't accept blame for anything , it's always the R&F when they finally wise up and realize they've been lied to . How long was that prediction written inside the WT about the generation of 1914 not passing away ? I mean jeez , who's deceiving who here? Isn't that up there with the serpent telling eve she would certainly not die for eating from the tree of knowledge? The man behind the curtain has been exposed once again .....

Insulting Terms used by the WashTowel
by punkofnice inloading the language is a propogandist tactic to trigger a reaction in the mind.
a prime example is the word 'apostate'!.
i have been called 'spiritually weak' for quitting field service, meetings etc.. how would you respond (without swearing or giving a punch up the hooter), if you were called this?.

They started rumors about being demon possessed because I related some personal experiences to my personal study of spirit sightings and such not to mention the spiritually weak bs . I finally got so fed up with their insane nonsense I told the shepherding callers to go f@#$ themselves whenever they visited . There's a start for ya . I figure wtf even if I decided to go back it's only 6 months of probation . LMAO

1914 to be abandoned around 2016
by Alfred inthe other day i was doing some research about "1914" for a friend on my wt cd library (spanish) and i found it quite interesting that the number of times "1914" is mentioned in the watchtower magazine during the previous 3 decades has been dropping exponentially as follows.... 1980-1989: mentioned 854 times.
1990-1999: mentioned 492 times.
2000-2009: mentioned 222 times.

I don't think they ever give up 1914 since they claim it the end of gentile times and tie it to the jewish exile to babylon and the seven times in Daniel. if they were going to change it , I think they would have with the generation change. It's not like they are afraid of being wrong since they never get it right the first time and have fantastic explanations that circumvent the admission of error on behalf of the org. After all they never said they were infallible ...... blah blah yadda yadda God cannot lie ....

So a man walks into a Kingdom Hall for the first time...
by sabastious in...he's wearing sloppy casual clothing, comes in after the song and prayer.
he sits down in the backrow and puts his feat up on the row ahead of him.
he looks very relaxed and starts to intently listen to the public talk.. people start looking back at him, wondering how he could be so brazen.
