true believers meet at armageddon (december 30, 2000)
i find it oddly satisfying to read old reports of intelligent, scholarly, well-read men who confidently picked the time of the end.
and were obviously wrong.
Faraon, the end is coming "any day now" takes on another meaning when a corporation is holding long-term stocks, huh? It also burns me that the WT leadership believes they have within their membership all the knowledge and experience that would be required to reconstruct an entire civilization. I guess all the time spent organizing conventions will come in handy, huh?
MacHislopp, I am flattered you took the time to read all that. You deserve a medal for endurance.
many are familiar with the countless flip flops and contradictions that can be found in the wt publications of the past (for numerous examples of this see http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com).
however, in reading through the jan 15 and feb 15 wt study articles i believe i have found a "modern day" example of a wts contradictory statement.
it pertains to the status of the "other sheep" as sons of god.. __________.
Yeah, Artful. I understand that the "other sheep" are supposed to participate like everybody else, it is verse 34 that "stumbles" me. The sheep receive Jesus' inheritance in heaven. So it makes me wonder if in the WT world, there is another division between the anointed and the other sheep after the goats are dealt with.

I really like that poem, Brummie.

Goodie! A real live debate. Ground rules? How about:
have there been any takers or requesters of such a thing?
are there other sites where this has happened?

Hey, Craig. How did that radio show debate ever turn out? Did you win?

OK, Molhie, only this once. How about: The Faithful and Discreet Slave; parable or prophesy?
awakening too

Wow.

Dead silence.
since we're accused by some of being so negative about jehovah's witnesses, let's start a thread regarding some positive things about being a witness or believing in the organization.
I got it! I got it! They leave conventions CLEANER than when they arrived.
The men know how to tie knots in ties.
The women know how to help them tie knots in ties.
Most of them clean under their fingernails.
