have jehovah,s witnesses given incorrect dates for the end?.
jw,s have had wrong expectations about when the end would.
like jesus' first-century disciples, we have "sometimes" (lol).

i went to see it today - by myself (mr bee is on a golf junket).
i was glad that that i was by myself because i cried so much at the end, i wouldn't have wanted to be with anyone who wasn't crying - and that would not have been mr bee!.
les miserables the current film is adapted from what is considered one of the half-dozen greatest novels of the past 150 years and one of the longest novels ever written.
OK, to you people that didn't like it, what is wrong with you, are you completely heartless.
The movie had an amazing story, heart wrenching music, the actors hit a home run, Ann Hathaway should win the best supporting actress. Hugh Jackman should win best actor
For those that don't agree, it's ok, but you know you're big LOSERS!!!!!!!
Best movie of the YEAR

Life is GOOD
does a person's involvement in the jw religion usually fall into one of these 3 categories?.
a) born in.
b) convert.
I was six when my parents became jw's 1969 - so i guess I'm a born-in
In 1975 I was 12, never thought I'd go to highschool.
Stepped down in '95
WT rules forces everyone to lead a double life. They created a nation of judges, everyone judges others based on how many meetings you go to, service hours you do, comments you make, types of movies you watch, how many drinks you take, length of vacation you go on, etc.
When someone does anything wrong, they are terrified to be caught or confess, because it leads to a judicial committee or for minor sins, being marked or just others gossipping about you.
Their neverending rule book you must obey to be a perfect jw can't be followed by everyone in one way or the other. Most will keep their sins a secret.
i`m going back a bit now, in the 60`s - 70`s when their was a lot of problems against the jw`s in the french section of quebec .
for some reason or other i was very interested what was going on in quebec .
if i remember correctly my wife and i were toying with migrating their .
The Premier of Quebec during the 1950's was Maurice Duplessis, he hated the witnesses and did all he can to persecute them, WT loved the publicity.
"we should be mindful".
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

if god exists, wouldnt it make more sense for him to show himself today - now that we are a more enlightened people?
"Each of those churches show certain books, which they call revelation, or the word of God. The Jews say, that their word of God was given by God to Moses, face to face; the Christians say, that their word of God came by divine inspiration: and the Turks say, that their word of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from Heaven. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all"
" Do we want to contemplate his power? We see it in the immensity of the Creation. Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? We see it in the unchangeable order by which the incomprehensible whole is governed! Do we want to contemplate his munificence? We see it in the abundance with which he fills the earth. Do we want to contemplate his mercy? We see it in his not withholding that abundance even from the unthankful. In fine, do we want to know what God is? Search not the book called the Scripture, which any human hand might make, but the Scripture called the Creation."
1794, Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
Amazing book written over 200 years ago.
we kinda all know the scriptures about freely forgiving those who trespass(sin) against us and jesus words about forgiving up to seventy-seven times etc... then we take into account how god hates two sets of scales to measure with: (quotes from nwt).
proverbs 20:23 " two sorts of weights are something detestable to jehovah, and a cheating pair of scales is not good.. proverbs 20:10 " two sorts of weights and two sorts of ephah measuresthey are both of them together something detestable to jehovah.. so my question is this.
why not lead by example?.
“God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was quite the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization.”
