  New Light and the UN

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?d=9882&site=3#117571.

  the link above is from a thread in bible reseach posted by bible examiner last month concerning impending new light on the 'disgusting thing standing in a holy place' and how it is no longer going to be the un but has had its fulfillment completely in the first century.

  this apparently was from a talk given by a circuit overseer.. why this is interesting is because, at the time the information concerning the un and the wt was not widely known on this site.

  Fear Kept Me In

  does anyone remember the organisation in the 1980's, how the things that they said seemed to fit so perfectly with the world that existed at that time?

  their ideas and prophecies as seen at that time seemed to be correct and everything was falling into place.

  i was a teenager at that time and the 'truth' had a very profound effect on me, i saw my family leave the org.

  Where Do I Go Now? Is There An Answer??

  by individual in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the problems in the 'truth' and all the things that we know are wrong with it there seems to be aspects of their theology (i.e the sequences of the world powers, statue in daniel, the promise of world restoration again found in daniel) that to me still make sense.

  although i cannot follow a religion that believes in the destruction of all humanity barring those that respond to their own preaching work i still believe in a creator and cannot accept the teachings of other religions that have no purpose for the earth and believe that mankinds only destiny is in heaven.

  my mind keeps telling me that if god was behind a religion it would be so much better than that of the jws.

  Who was the Strangest on the Doors?

  by individual in

  2. friends

  yes, who was the strangest person you ever met in the field service, or what was the strangest experience?

  i once met a man who claimed that he had invented everything, including the hovermower, the hovercraft and the xylophone.

  he said he created the hovermower out of dustbin lids attached to an old lawnmower.

  2. friends

  revelation 7:9 - after these things i saw, and look!

  a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the lamb.. watchtower 1st jan 1997. the harvest, indeed is great, but the workers are few.

  therefore beg the master to send out workers into his harvest.

  The WTs Biggest Deceptions

  by individual in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just wondering what do the members of this board think the biggest deception in the teaching of the watchtower society is?.

  one of the biggest deceptions for me, one that stuck like a thorn in my side was their deception on earthquakes, hence my previous thread on the last days.

  the wts, as i recall, published supposed proof of the increase in earthquakes since 1914. i was so angry when i found out that this was an outright lie.

  Are These the Last Days?

  by individual in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone who has left the organisation still feel that these are the last days?

  all down through history people have wanted to feel that they live in special times - are jws just an extension of this?

  for me the biggest problem with this theory of the last days has been the distinct lack of earthquakes since 1914, a quote from the book signs of the times revisited says "as more and more seismographs are installed in the world, more earthquakes can be and have been located.

  about 3 years ago we had one of those 'lovely' visits from the co. for his main talk he decided to encourage us out into the field, to do more on the ministry.

  i don't know who his motivational instructor was but he might as well of stood in front of us at the hall with a machine gun.

  the main point of his talk was "you only do one hour a month?
