  So has the wt given up on prophecy altogether or what?

  by agonus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for decades they've produced massive tomes on their own peculiar brand of wt-centric prophecy, but it seems like the production of prophecy-related material as of late has slowed to a trickle, their last prophecy-related book that i can recall was the minor-prophets book released a few years back.

  however that book if i recall was very vague in its exposition, focusing on daily life application rather than eschatology.

  and yet the armageddon-end-times-obedience-"generation" drumbeat grows faster and louder with less and less exposition as to how or when exactly any of this is supposed to play out.

  The revelation book was pretty much the reason I left, so can't be all bad!

  WT articles that make you go, "WTF?"

  by undercover in

  2. bible

  march 1, 2011 wt kool aid edition.... the article: does the bible condemn gambling.

  notice the highlighted boxes.... first the indication that the catholic church does not consider gambling itself a sin... and then challenges that because no scriptural passages are given in proof of their assertion.. the very next column though, the wts admits that the bible does not directly mention gambling.

  so, um, how do you expect the catholics to come up with scriptures if there are none?.

  Why do watchtower photos always have someone dressed like the gimp in the left of that last photo? Chinos and a coloured polo shirt - does anyone in real life actually wear clothes like this??? or is it an american thing?

  "Use the same email address that you signed up for here. Good luck!"

  One of the first instructions on that page. The email address I signed up here with is no longer in use and I can't change it cos the forum doesn't let me edit any details.

  Pretty useless eh.

  i'm hardly the biggest fan but i thought this was genuinely funny.

  he held a mirror up to the overpaid botoxed schmucks and some of them found it funny.

  but i'm hearing there's a bit of a criticism.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhxzp2spla.

  It's pretty simple, his sense of humour is british - not american. Our senses of humour are not the same, as a stereotype british is sarcastic and dry - americans like fart noises and people who yell and fall over.

  if this forum just supported avatars like every other forum on the internet then he wouldn't need to do that maybe? I also hate my 'gravatar'.

  Verifiable Former Bethelite Willing to Answer questions

  by Uzzah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am a former active poster here, former elder, former bethelite and pretty much known by people on the xjw boards since the mid 90's.

  gawd that makes me sound old.. i notice that a great deal of uproar is being made by allegations of a hide in the closet alleged bethelite.

  to counter the damage caused by this claim, i am happy to address any questions people may have about bethel, protocol, etc.. i was at the canada branch for 11 years, worked in multiple areas including the legal department, service desk and writing dept.

  It would also be very easy to check who was scraping IPs like that, just check the source code and see if any posts have 1x1 images embedded.

  For this reason I doubt they do it.

  The whole Jonny character is obviously just a wind up, some naive people out there to believe this

  The 2nd Coming has already been proved to be a mistake

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while the whole world of christianity waits and longs for the 2nd advent of jesus because it will bring their reward.... jehovah's witness already had theirs!

  they simply declared that "jesus is back!".

  1914 was the date assigned.. true, jesus was invisible.. true, armageddon didn't come.. true, the world went on spinning as before.. but, 1914 was date certain and remains so.. instead, jehovah's witnesses starting treating armageddon the same way mainstream christianity treats the 2nd coming.. it's coming any minute!.
