The video may still be there but "invisibly present", sorta like Christ's presence in 1914. (muhahaha)
All of you non-believers just need more faith and you can feel its presence.
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there right.

Cappytan maybe making a move to be on the new GB with a set up like that one.
Think about it.He got us all worked up about seeing this and then failed to deliver.
It's almost a perfect replication of what the JW's do with their "Special Announcements"
Always leaves you disappointed,wanting more or thinking...that's it. I got all dressed and left home to go to the Kingdom Hall for that.

Man Killed in car crash watching Porn

makes me wonder what "flashed" before his eyes at moment of impact/death.http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/82584838-story

Quote from news article:
"The driver was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control and rolled the car. He was partially ejected through the sunroof and died on scene."

So in other words he got ejected instead of ejacted.
That's a 'hard' way to go

If JWs were to change their name what would they change it to?

by slimboyfat in

was it 1931 when they adopted jehovah's witnesses?

(at the time with lower case w) isn't it about time now they changed name again?

i mean everything else is changing why not the name!

I've been depressed lately.

by Butyoucanneverleave in

my husband and i went to visit his family for the holidays.

not everyone showed for the visit ,the weather was lousy, and it just generally sucked.

now we're back to the same old routine with work and life and we're both depressed and alone.

StoneWall

Sorry to hear you've been depressed.
I guess it happens to all of us at some point(s) in our lives and can be hard to deal with.
There are some things you may want to try to hopefully brighten up your future.
These are just some suggestions that have helped me as well as others and it will be great if it can help you as well.
First go to Meetup.com and look for any Ex-JW meetups near you. (even if you are fading and don't want to chance going to one you can still check to see whats in your area)
Make sure to type in the search Ex-JW meetups to bring up the list.

Also I would strongly recommend going out with your hubby and trying new things such as sports,hobby's,museums and various volunteer work in your local community.
You can meet many nice people this way and maybe form some friendships that are not based on religion at all.
My wife and I have had good turn outs this way, as well as establishing relationships with some of our extended family that are not Witnesses.

Wishing you and your hubby better times ahead,
StoneWall

JT & Lady Cee Why we left the Jehovah's Witnesses - Part 2

by JT-LadyC in

jt further expounds on why we left the watchtower.

why we left the jehovah's witnesses part 2.

StoneWall

i think this is a really well done video and has some excellent points made and presented.
Just one issue with it though.
At around the 7:35-7:38 time marks on this video he states that he has told millions then probably billions of people about the generation that wouldn't pass away.
There are very few people on this earth that have ever reached a billion people with any message (or even songs etc)
If he gave talks in every Kingdom Hall in the world and spoke at every Assembly/Convention, the most he would reach would be between maybe 7-14 million people.
Then add in every single person he could have possibly talked to in field service and I can grant you it would fall far short of the one Billion mark, much less Billions.
I think he got caught up in it and said billions by mistake but the rest of what I heard in the video sounded spot on and would like to say thanks for posting it and sharing your experience(s).

Revelation 8:8 Is a comet / asteroid heading here soon?

by FuzzyPaul in

i have read a lot and watched some you-tube videos (some by marginally lunatic fringe christians - not necessarily invalidating) searching for asteroid september 2015 or comet september 2015.. there is some biblical evidence that, if one doesn't spiritualize / make literally invalid by symbolic exercise, that at the time of the end of the age there will be a uniquely severe, single great earthquake (isaiah 29:6, zecharia 4:7, haggia 2:6, revelation 6:12, revelation 16:18) and destructive objects described as hail, mountains falling from the sky, stars falling onto earth.

i note that ancients would not recognize the vastness of outer space and meteroids, asteroids, comets, planets being what we know them as.. there is also the exact symbol of "then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.

one-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

StoneWall

This link pretty much answers your question regarding the asteroid/comet hitting earth FuzzyPaul

First Post and Using the memorial to wake up family members

by dgeero in

jw
friends

this is my first post here though i've been a long time lurker.

my story in a nutshell:.

started having doubts after the new silver sword and watchtower study regarding overlapping generations.

StoneWall

Hi and welcome to the forum dgeero !

Ask your family where in the bible is it required/commanded to go be a "respectful observer" .

Even in their translation it says " as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup" (never once mentions about going to be a observer)

Once you establish the fact that it's not biblical/scriptural practice, then follow that up with asking them questions about when was this Observer mode started,because it wasn't always a Watchtower/JW requirement (let them research it to help open their eyes)

Hope that helps

What Do I Do With This RED Book?

by Cold Steel in

some guys visited me a couple of times, and i asked them about the book of revelation.

one of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it.

he also marked certain passages.

StoneWall

You could always spray paint the book blue and then insert some apostate leaflets into it.
That way if they returned and wanted it back you could tell them it changed/evolved and that they may want to look into it and see what it's trying to tell them.
