Why does it matter whether or not Armageddon is near?

by TxNVSue2023 in

why does it matter whether or not the end of the world ( (armageddon) is near?

if it was next week, next year, next decade, next century?

what is to be gained by knowing how close or far it is?

Unfortunately,,, majority of of JWs never thought of getting old or prepared for it.

If I had a quarter for every time I heard JWs say ""I thought I would never get old in this system"",,,I would be a millionaire

i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

so, they did... with parental consent.

he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

Rivergang,

Hedging your bets & taking your bet both ways .

You can see it by their actions.

I know of a family who are old school JWs from the 1960's and 1970s era.

They had their children just before 1975.

Bought their first home in that time era.

They even used their company benefits dental plan to invest in their kids dental work.

Remember,,, these are " old school"" JWs who believed the ""END WAS Imminent"" since the late 1960s thru 1975....and still believe so to this very day.

Remember,, these are old school full on hard corr believers who believed the "end"" is always imminent...

""And yes the Witnesses religion is now unrecognizable. Those JWs must be turning in their graves!"

You know something. There are still some very old school JWs from the 1960s & 1970s era who have eaten & drank all the WT koolaid for 5 plus or more decades. Still going strong at it after all these years going for it hook line and sinker.

You gotta wonder???

WTF is going on in their brains?????

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/4lhk30a1fxc?si=h9baqeu8gmm7vbm0.

the cne.news has come out with an article on the developments in norway and the aftermath of the deregistration of the watchtower there only last month.

cne stands for christian news in europe and it is a christian news site for continental europe that.

The JWs cherry-picked scriptures.

Thats cuz they have a "tapestry" of scriptura that they pick and choose from.

As some have said.

New lawsuit against the Watchtower in Ontario, Canada

by yalbmert99 in

the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.

it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.

i don’t have more details.

Its been rumoured that the Borg is hanging on like a thread.

In light of all the upcoming lawsuits and out of court settlements on this subject.

Like termites which have devoured a wooden structure with that of a wicker structure remaining. And one swift blow could topple it over

Psychological violence.

An interesting comment the other day,,,I cant remember who or where it was where I saw it but it was something like this .....""they don't stone but they shun"".

Its not really a physical thing,,, shunning is compared to stoning,,,the latter being physical but the former can lead to the same outcome in the end from the mental trauma induced by it. Which is premature and untimely death.
