In fact the color red may suffer this year ,perhaps red M & M's getting the chop being that red is associated with leftist ,perhaps even communist agendas ,and forums having a 60 percent cut in political discussions .

Food for thought ? Talking to a JW ?

by smiddy3 in

some questions you may like to ask a jehovah`s witness?.

1.when did the modern day jw religion begin?

we all know the stock answer to that q that they will give ,but persevere .. for the past 2000 years there has never been an organization known as jw.

"No Jehovah`s Witnesses were not chosen by Jesus in 1919 ,by there own literature it was the "International Bible Students Association" ,IBSA .that were chosen,not JW`s. they may claim its ` the same thing ,but that`s not so . Why ?'

So then this leads to the question who really is "THE ISRAEL OF GOD" in the NT ?

The watchtower says it's the 144K but how can that be if Rutherford apostasized and threw the IBS away and immediately taught things that kept him in new homes ,limo's and booze ?

Great read Smiddy

The governing body KNEW

by FedUpJW in

so i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.

it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".

it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

Why Do Some People Wear A Mask While Driving Alone In Their Car?

by minimus in

jw
friends

can anyone explain this to me??

?.

wozza

Good reasons above

I wear mine in the car going to get tested in my street at the Covid testing station which is drive thru.

Is this silly ? Well when I wind down my window there I'm faced by people who are testing me and heaps of other people before me .Could I get infected there ? Probably not but I am in a high risk category so why take a chance .

I guess people wear masks in their car for a variety of reasons like they put one on before leaving the house because they don't keep them in the car.

My partner and I went to Bunnings (retail hardware store) yesterday ,signed in ,put on hand gel ,and had our masks on and of the hundred or so in store, including the staff ,we were the only ones with masks on.

We may have been conspicuous but we tried protecting ourselves from a possible rogue arsehole who knew they had Covid but did'nt cover up. And this happens.

here it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.. i do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .. though i've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time i did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.. i had to plan my driving trip to queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.. so i'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.. that's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.. i don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,i've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but i have made some for good.

some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.. the one big thing i am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.. so thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the ozzies on here.

Here it is ,the end of a year and a new one starting tomorrow.

I do not want to reflect on the bad the year brought us ,but thankfully i will move into the new year glad that i am still here to enjoy the good things in life that are still here .

Though I've had some personal bad stuff happening like all do from time to time I did have things to be thankful for ,like my loving partners support and a wonderful christmas visit with my daughters family and grand children.

I had to plan my driving trip to Queensland in between covid shutdowns but this made it more exciting and helped me to see i should not take family for granted.

So I'm thankful for the good the year brought and yet sorrowful for those in the world who had bad things happen.

That's the stuff of life and sometimes it's worse for a while and then change brings better times.

I don't believe the strike of clock will bring change but what we do in our lives will ,I've made bad decisions that have lbrought life long change for bad but I have made some for good. Some things from outside will bring change ,like covid ,but it is how we handle things that really matters for the future.

The one big thing I am thankful for is getting insight from this wonderful site that helped me see what the disgusting Watchtower org is in reality , and over the years have seen thru others here how they broke the clutches of a cult of liars.

So thank you all and hope that the future brings some happiness as well ,agong with the sorrow and especially to all the Ozzies on here

So what have the rank and file been saying now that a vaccine is being given. What happened to Armageddon

by goingthruthemotions in

a vaccine is here!!!

the light at the end of the tunnel is visible!!!

so what happened to armageddon?.

wozza

The GB when challenged as to why the vaccinations and why it's OK to have them will pull out a scripture they used in the past (....use the world , but not to the FULL) ,don't have a bible here but many older members would remeber the WTS usage of this one.

Time, times and half a time - nerd time

by Anony Mous in

so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.

the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.

date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

Damn , I wish I'd read the watchtower literature more carefully and it would have given me the university education I need to understand this topic !

Religious Jewelry

by Lostatsea in

i do not considered myself a jw but both parents are and many family members and friends i was wondering if any jw's could give input on religious jewelry and wether or not the pendant below would be offensive or inappropriate, thanks.. http://devm1.jewelryunlimited.com/pendants-charms/diamond-jesus-pendants/10k-yellow-gold-real-diamond-jesus-wing-pendant-0-75-ct-1-5.

Hi Lostatsea ,as DH said but one day in the future maybe one bit of jewelry of Jesus reclining before the JW.Org symbol may be seen as acceptable.

Well ,years ago no one would have dreamt that a symbol would be OK to use, and brothers can make money from putting that symbol JW.Org on things to sell ,just browse the internet and see
