What do you think of this picture? A friend of mine posted this on her facebook page. She is not a JW and has never been one. She is a "Christian" and goes to a main stream church.

It makes me sad to see this, because I remember being this kid.

How do Jehovah's Witnesses get from 1914 to 1919?

by God_Delusion in

hi guys and gals,.

i have written an article that explains how the watchtower society gets from 607 bce to 1914 (http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/faqs/why-is-1914-important/) but i need some input so that i can write an article on how they get from 1914 to (via 1918) 1919.. are we talking about ezra, 1:2-4 when the persian king cyrus allows the israelites to go and rebuild the temple 3 and a half years after exiling them?

if so, how has the watchtower used this passage to get to 1919??.

Very simple:

My age 36 x 5 (I have 5 kids) = 180 x 2 (I have 2 dogs) = 360 x 3.5 (A time + A times + 1/2 Time) = 1260 years

1,260 x 2 (Just because I wanted to double down "Like in Blackjack") = 2,520 x a day for a year = 2,520 years

607BCE + 2,520 = 1913AD - OPPS forgot no year "0" = 1914AD

1914AD + 5 (How many times my car broke down out in service) = 1919AD

I might have made a mistake in my calculations, I think there was something about the hoboken ferry.

Home schooled witness kids

by stillin in

sorry if i'm stepping on any toes here, but i haven't seen anything positive about home-schooling...at all.

the notion is that parents are taking advantage of the formative years to inculcate more worthwhile values while protecting their kids from worldly influences.

they end up with lazy, socially inept, illiterate duds who haven't a clue.

I was home schooled in Grades 10,11,12. It took me about 20 hours of work to finish all 3 of those grades. It was a complete joke. My parents and grandparents wanted me to do that so I could pioneer. I would never to that to my kids.

It has been 1 year on 11/1/13 that we have owned the bar. So far so good. Our sales are 50% higher then the past owners. My wife is even thinking about taking a paycheck for the 1st time.
