  Google might be wrong, but these are the dates for the past five memorials:

  Tuesday, March 30, 2010

  Sunday, April 17, 2011

  Thursday, April 5, 2012

  Tuesday, March 26, 2013

  Monday, April 14, 2014

  If we are right about a weekend preference, 2011 should have the highest numbers. And it does.

  The Governing Body Need To Get Their Head Out From In Between Their Derrière And Start Reading What Apostate Sites Are Actually Saying

  by frankiespeakin in

  it does no good for the governing body to burry their heads up their ass in denial as to what people who have left are saying about them and their insane selfserving teachings.

  i know denial is a real bitch to deal with and i'm sure this bunch of over the hill gang will have a hard time doing google searches and they are probably not sure where to look but they oughta get some one to show them how to find all this information, this willful ignorance is really hurting them, and reality can come crashing in more horrible ways the longer the denial exist and is hiding valuable information you really need before you proceed to make better decisions for your company and the direction you want it to go..

  I don't want to help them lead a kinder, gentler, more profitable organization. I want them to kill the organization by stupidity. They definitely should not be listening to peons, either within or without the organization.

  Jesus was a false prophet?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  and he said to them, "i tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of god come with power.

  (mark 9:1).

  when you are persecuted in one place, flee to another.

  The gospel of Matthew is anonymous.

  Regarding Mark, also quoting Wikipedia:

  Scholars agree that the Gospel of Mark was not written by any of the Apostles, but by some insignificant figure in the early church. Notwithstanding its shortcomings, it was probably included in the Canon because the Early Church Fathers believed it was a reliable account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

  Eusebius, in his Church History records that the writer of this gospel was a man named Mark who was Peter’s interpreter. It was believed that his accounts of Jesus were historically accurate, but that there was some chronological distortion. It is further agreed that this gospel was originally composed in Koine Greek, near Rome. [11]

  If those nearly contemporary to the events do not attribute these works to the apostles, who are we to do so?

  RELIGIOUS FANATICS

  by NAVYTOWN in

  my personal definition of a 'religious fanatic' is a person who believes that their religion is the only one that has the truth.

  all other religions are considered apostate or the work of satan.

  any attempt to present alternative views is met with either outright dismissal, or else pre-programmed answers supporting their current religion.

  Demon attacks on JW in past, where'd they go?

  in the 80's and 90's (maybe even earlier) i remember hearing lots of witnesses talk about "demon attacks".

  whether it was someone studying the bible who then started having strange things happen in their house to people bringing stuff home from yard sales and getting personal attacks and horrible dreams resulting in them dystroying stuff they brought home or getting rid of it.. .

  i also remember hearing a sister say she had to pray in a home with a study because the study started to get attacked.

  For one thing, their lexicons are completely different. What is completely critical to one is irrelevant to the other. Like an Evangelical trying to convince a Jew that she needs a hope in Heaven. Or a Muslim trying to explain the five-fold path and the Evangelical again, trying to nail down Prophet Origins.

  3rd gen, I think the difference is that the 2014 results are from the (TMS?), and the other numbers are from the Yearbook. 2014 results won't be out until February/March 2015.
