I have a super uber JDub relative who lives several states away. He is always trying to encourage me since he knows that I stopped going to the Kingdom Haul. Anyhow, he sends me a copy of the program for the summer regional convention and pointed out the Sunday morning talks. He is really excited to hear the talks and this information from Jehovah proves just how close Armageddon is.

I emailed him back that I have copies of all of the talk outlines for Sunday morning and if he would like a sneak preview of the convention to just let me know and I will send him the outlines.

A week has passed with no reply. I would assume that his mind can't comprehend how a person who doesn't go to meetings could have outlines of the talks and if I did then it has to be apostate information. If a person is so excited to hear talks about Gog and Magog and the "proclamation of the hailstones" that he would not want to wait another four months if he could have the information now.

He also knows that if he had the information before his scheduled assembly that he himself would be looked at as being an apostate.

Oh the joys of being a JDub.

Another JDub fairy tail

by Sour Grapes in

now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online i read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.. talk #50 "future events will require courage - the final test" illustrates how jdubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.. the outline says "at the end of christ's thousand year reign, satan will be released "for a little while".

the devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel.

" my question is how many is some?

Now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online I read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.

Talk #50 "Future Events Will Require Courage - The Final Test" illustrates how JDubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the Watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.

The outline says "At the end of Christ's Thousand Year Reign, Satan will be released "for a little while". The Devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel." My question is how many is some? Will the JDubs picture a few thousand or fifty thousand rebels? Would they dare think of a larger number to encompass "some?"

The outline continues "Rebellious humans' -Gog and Magog-will gather together for a war and will surround the righteous humans." Let's stop there. I would think that at the end of the 1,000 reign of Jesus that there would be at least 10 billion people on the earth and the vast majority would be JDubs wouldn't they? How many people does it take to surround the righteous humans? I think that using the word "some" is an understatement.

There would have to be billions of rebels to surround the righteous ones. Maybe 4 billion JDubs and 6 billion rebels. After all of the work to be in a beautiful paradise, God has once again will have to destroy billions of people. Maybe this will be the last time.

After watching "the last man on earth" I've been thinking about the paradise

if you haven't seen will forte's "the last man on earth" on amazon prime, do as its really funny.

the setting of the story is that 2 years prior a virus has killed all humans except one.... amongst the high jinks are the struggles he has with things like; getting water from the water system when the areas water supply is no longer being maintained, ditto sewerage, not having ready access to fresh foods that require industry like butter and cheese, not having access to medical help, being unable to communicate with anyone outside of shouting distance, having no electricity / electronic appliances.. it's got me thinking, all the wt's illustrations show the time when armageddon is over as being really joyful and there being plenty for everyone.

but in fact that would just not be the case, especially since most jw's have no survival skills or expert knowledge of any kind.. jws just don't think about this, how are all those couples who are waiting untill the new system to have kids, going to have kids in a survival setting?

Sour Grapes

The Desert God will vaporize the dead bodies. He will turn the crumbled buildings into sand. Freshwater will flow from rocks and food will fall out of heaven right onto one's table cooked and ready to go. Finding forks and knives may be a problem though. My concern is when I run out of razors since the Gibbering Booty has outlawed beards. Maybe God, after the Great Tribulation, will overrule them and let the hair that he put on men and women grow like it was meant to.

July 2018 WT points

by The Fall Guy in

page 16, par.

18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.

Drop 1914? Drop literal number 144,000? Start tithing?

You Know You're in the Wrong Religion When....

by Vanderhoven7 in

just thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .

you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....

"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.

When you can have a big baby shower with gifts galore for an unborn baby, but once the baby is born then you can't give gifts on the anniversary of the baby's birth.

If you're expecting a mass exodus anytime soon, FORGET ABOUT IT!

by nowwhat? in

i have to make a token appearance at the k.h.

once a month or so and this week went to a different hall.

and believe me they are all still totally oblivious to all the negative news about the pedophiles and shunning that have come under scrutiny by the media and other governments.

Sour Grapes

The Borg's demise will be the death of the die-hard old timers, those who are 18 to 30 years of age and are not afraid of the internet and realize that they need to get out and the slow down in contributions.

JDubs love to feel persecuted

by Sour Grapes in

the spotlight is on the witlesses problem of protecting child sex abusers and disfellowshipping those who were sexually violated.

i bet the jdubs thought they would be persecuted for their preaching work and announcing god's kingdom not for having more pedophiles than the catholics as a ratio of members to sex perverts.. the thing that gets me is that we care more about the problem than the jdubs who are high on watchtower cocaine.

most of them will ignore the news reports as from apostates and are lies just like the gibbering body said would happen.

Sour Grapes

I think that the million dollar settlements to keep the Jehovah Witness pedophiles under wraps will motivate JDubs to contribute less. Many JDubs will still not believe that the news reports are real and are just apostate propaganda.

W5 Investigation

hey guys!

i just want you guys to know that today is a really great day.

there are so many jehovah's witnesses that saw this documentary and were disgusted by watchtowers policy.

Sour Grapes

Christian, I am so proud of you and your wife. Keep up the good fight. I hope that the JDubs will feel the backlash due to the information that is coming out both at the doors they knock on and at their silent witnessing cart stations. It may get so uncomfortable for the Witlesses that the Borg will need to invent a new way for them to count hours.

I love your YouTube videos. Keep rocking.

Their decline will be slow and steady. I can't picture a mass exodus. The JDubs who are sitting on the fence will be able to use this news to jump off the fence and say they are stumbled when they miss meetings and the elders check up on them.
