How to debunk the 1914 calculus ONLY using JW publications?

by psyco in

i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.

thanks..

WT theology cannot make-up for the lost 20 years. There just isn't enough evidence.

another example of jehovah protects his people except when he doesn't.

It is very evident that WT pioneers and servants, publishers whatever are nothing but pawns.

Born in 2014

by Splash in

it just occurred to me that those born in 2014, 100 years after the epochal date of 1914, will be 9 years old this year and are starting to become candidates for baptism.. 1914 used to be relatable in that our parents or grand parents lived then, but not any more.. it’s dropped so far into history that any significance linked to it is just as convincing as the black death being a harbinger for armageddon.. never mind that we are also now crossing the 100 year threshold for the 7 trumpets of declarations that occurred during the 1920’s!

remind me, how important were these angelic messages?

if i was still a jw i would have to isolate my jw brain from all thinking and reasoning so i could continue to believe.. honestly, did it even make sense back in the day?.

Those born in 2014.

This is where 1914 is really starting to be a "conundrum".

The Borg has vehemently stated and stuck to this fallacy 1914 and adamantly has refuted all "biblical" and researched conclusions to refute it.

Time is clearly NOT on the Borgs side.

Mike and Kim made an outstanding comment on their channel yesterday.

He related that what of said victim was a ''PIMO''. How tragic that would have been.

The door to door ministry is truly dangerous these days and Jehovah(organization) comes first. The preaching work must go on. I'm sure the Borg will drum-up.

""How can it not? That sort of thing’s inevitable when you’re convinced God whispers in your ear, and you’re surrounded solely by people who are never allowed to disagree with you.""

Once you've read books like Crisis on Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom,,,you make the disconnect between God and the organization and that there is NO possible way God is part of this organization. Your eyes will be opened and you feel free to do all the research you can to uncover REAL truth.

Just make the disconnect between God and ''this organization'', your eyes become truly opened God cannot be blessing this organization.

Help others to endure, hey?

Well, let's see now. Unbiblical shunning policies, child baptism which forces a child into a contract in which he/she has NO idea really of what they're doing. Horrible blood policies and a stone-age two witness rule. And then they bring up a study article in enduring in difficult times.

Yes, they are so ''victim blamey''

Underage child: PIMI vs PIMO parents rights

by psyco in

i am a pimo, inactive, parent of an underage child.

i was wondering what rights i have in regards to avoid that my child will be baptized when still underage, not having read the entire bible and before being able to clearly evaluate all the alternatives and consequences (like it happened to me) whereas the other pimi parent has all the rights to do it.

any experiences about children in a pimi vs pimo parents situation?

It's like the Hotel California. You can check out, but you can never leave.

Another interesting comment made by a PIMI JW

by joe134cd in

i thought i’d shear this with you good people.

the cognitive dissonance is just breath taking.

i over heard this comment at a relatives family dinner the other night.

I don't know what 'they' have with this thing on facial hair,,,but they just have fits with any hair past the corner of your mouth no matter what. Drives them nuts to this very day.
