  2009 Memorial Partakers is Highest Since 1967

  by ThomasCovenant in

  2. beliefs

  to the best of my knowledge if.

  10857 is the latest number for memorial partakers then you have to go back to 1967 to get a higher number, 10981.. i wonder why they they don't print this in the january magazine anymore.. will they omit it even from the printed yearbook and only leave it as an mp3 online download?.

  Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 2

  by cantleave in

  as stated in part 1 the latter part of the 1980s and 1990s were very good for my wife and i. we are doing well spiritually and both had good jobs.

  our increasing income allowed us to move at a relatively young age to a nice area.

  we wanted to stay in our old congregation but i was told as an appointed man i should support the congregation in my new territory.. this new congregation had a completely different feel about it to our old one.

  JW parallels in an episode of Spongebob!

  by Mickey mouse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this episode of spongebob squarepants put me in mind of jehovah's witnesses.

  watch from about 5:30, the storyline is that mr krabbs has retired and has sold the krusty krabb to a large chain.

  the part that really made me laugh was right near the end when mr krabbs starts ripping the restaurant apart and the manager says "code red, free thinker" over the radio.. .

  I like the line at the end. "But I got the love of me friends." How true is that after leaving the WT. You will lose all of your family and friends, but you will find out what true unconditional love is from true friends.

  Nearly 100 years of Devil's "short period of time" (Rev 12:12) - Ridiculous!

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was reading this article on http://www.watchman.org/jw/1914hst1.htm and this paragraph struck me as particularly interesting:.

  "apparently the society feels that the judgment period has stretched too far.

  its been over 80 years since the judgment began in 1914. they are now saying the bible, "does not show that such judging would continue over an "extended period of many years" (watchtower, 15 october 1995, p. 22).
