" so, witnesses start calling after a year and a half, but only offical like during witnessing time....mistake number two, they "placed" 17 watchtowers with my wife.....mistake three, a sister said she was "concerned" about my wife like she was mental or something!

Can you call him back and put me down for 2 hours? They quite calling me for my time. I used to be a full time Pioneer about 13 years ago (1000 wasted hours). I wish that I could get those back.

PS. How much time is spent counting time? LOL

The end is very close now - right? If it was close 130 years ago, it must be very close now!! I remember thinking that is is so close that I wont have to take showers in school with the other kids in High school. That is a true story!!

Fate & Bible Prophecies-what do you think?

by DisconnectingDrone in

jw's are taught that there is no fate-if fate existed no one would be responsible for what they did?

however, i always thought their explanation of jehovah selectively looking into the future was fuzzy.

take the prophecy of cyrus conquering babylon and freeing the israelites back home.

This is one of the reasons that I have a problem with the Bible. There are too many contridictions in it. Lot was a good man, worthy of being saved but he had sex with his daughters because he was drunk? This story is wrong on so many levels. Samson had powers from jehovah because of his long hair and now JW men cant have long hair because Jehovah dont like long hair. Jehovah said that all men had to cut their penis and now he dont care if we do or dont? Noah built an ark and went and got 2 of each animal and after that he had the time to go put the penguins back? Sounds like a bunch of story's

I NEED YOUR HELP !!

Funny thing:

I told my dad how I felt about the Generation garbage, and he told me that jw's never made a big thing about it !!! Ha Ha Ha.

I said you got to be kidding me, it was my presentation at the door. I used to read the inside cover of the Awake mags to the house holder then ask them if they wanted the mags. He said that he didn't remember that, is that because he was programed to forget about the generation? It reminded me about the movie MEN IN BLACK when they waived the light thing in front of them to erase there memory.

Billy:

One of my big things (for questioning the Borg) was the "Generation" thing. It was easy for me because I grew up thinking that it can only be 1 or 2 more years because people from 1914 were 80 or 90 years old. Why is it that NEW UNDERSTANDING always comes when they were wrong about dates?

I am thinking that not debating it might be the best answer. I agree that I dont think that anything that I say will change anything. The only thing that gives me hope is seeing all of the people on here that were Pioneers, Elders, MS's, ect. I just wonder if I can get them to question something and get them looking into it.

My goal:

I would love for my Dad and Grandma to be able to practice UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (They are shunning my brother because he is DF'd). I dont know how they miss that in the Bible (I know that it is the Borgs teaching).

By the way, I bet $50 on Justin Morneau in the home run derby tonight and won $250. (Very happy)

I went on eBay and was able to buy a disk of all the old watchtowers from the 1879 to 1945. You should check there. If you need any of them I can email them to you.
