"in the early 1920's, a featured public talk presented by jehovah's witnesses was entitled 'millions now living will never die.
' this may have reflected over-optimism at that time.
but today that statement can be made with full confidence.
Another failed promise that is blamed on the rank and file for showing too much optimism! What about a more refershing statement such as "We were wrong, had no idea then and still have no idea now...."
That reminds me: What do you call a Deer with no eyes? No idea... A deer with no eys & no legs? Still, no idea... A deer with no eyes, no legs & no penis? Still no f*%#ing idea....
as an example of what not to do.. .
Making quite a raquet.....
this jdub was out walking his two dogs when attacked by a pit bull, killing one of his dogs and causing injuries to his hand.
he was from texas and now lives in melbourne.
he comes from a very well known us jw family (uncles, grandparents in brooklyn, other uncles c/o & d/o, w/t life story of family...).
Yeah no probs Lillith, yeah a little bit taken back, I did show concern for this guy with a telephone call to him. Spoke to him on Monday morning and he was still a bit shaken up, dropped in to his house on the way home from work last night as well, he's all good! I didnt really want to post all that info on my original post as it could/will blow my identity! But what the heck... As for putting more thought into the original post, sorry if that came across as short n sweet n heartless, but Im at work and someone is as alllllllllllllllways walking past my desk (esp the semi jw that works here now.....) which also explains my low post count:-(
Though I can type to my hearts content now as Im the only bunny in the office! Now where is that glass of chards!
Cheers Lillith, Mattieu

wow, this is the 12th post in reply to the subject.... 12 Apostles, 12 "apostates"
The symbolic number twelve indicates a theocratic organization number of completeness. The typical theocratic organization of Israel had twelve tribes. (Ex. 28:21) Jesus appointed twelve apostles as the foundation of his spiritual Israel. (Matt. 10:2; Eph. 2:20) Finally, in Revelation 7:4-8 there are listed the twelve tribes of spiritual Israel which comprise Christ’s theocratic kingdom organization. Twice twelve or the number "24" also appears to refer to theocratic organization.—Rev. 4:4.
Wow, looks like this post is complete! (though if someone else has posted whilst I type this then it could be #13, doh!)

unpublished documents, evidently written by isaac newton, that indicate he believed the world could end in 2060 ad.. (newton also had many other possible dates e.g 2034) [11].
13:43) how did the true knowledge become.
actually, until 1927 or so the wts taught that 1799 was the beginning of the "time of the end" not the 1914 the.
Thanks again for your hard work Blondie, I could have used your notes on the weekend when I debated this article with a jw family member who has a new found zeal for the "truths" coming from the borg!
Its amazing how they quote from "apostate" Origen when it suits them.... My BS meter was going of the richter reading that article!
