Sadly,,,many old school long-lifer JWs will never see Armageddon. Because its never going to happen.
Thats the sad reality.

Paradise
by Gorb inthe ot of wing commander made me think about the following.. i was born in 1970, 4th generation jw.
in the 70's i got the indirect message of 1975, and in the early 80's we were promissed a paradise were we could life for ever!
this all combined with the 1914 doctrine.. it was all about show activity and works, that lead to a reward, the paradise earth.. i'm curious about the jw's of later years and the current "generation z".. we don't visit the hall, maybe once in a year.

Yes. The Proclaimers book was in 1993 released.
Way later after Divine Purpose. But I still Got my original copy of Proclaimers.
Pristine condition. & 30 years later too!!!
Kind of depressing in a way yet too. Years and decades passing by.

I still have my original copy of when they were first released. Its in pristine condition.
Its a matter of time before the Borg puts this book in the "apostate" list.

How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?
by no-zombie infrom the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

When you realize that you are not actually guaranteed another minute on this earth,,,every human being whos ever lived before you,,present time and after you is in the same position.
You can ""go"" at any moment in this life.
Your life is ""finite"". All we have is the ""now"". We are on borrowed time,, in a way in this ""conscious"" life we have.
You see,, thats why the Borg hates this kind of thinking. Their objective is to keep the $heeples donating,,infantilized & depending on them. Uncertainty.
Endless,, repetitive hampster wheel.
Armageddon,, paradise,, resurrected. Dangle that carrot & yank.!!

If I had a quarter for every time I heard a JW say ""I thought I would never grow 'old' in this system"" ,,I would be a millionaire.
Thats part of the indoctrination. Thats why they never want you to miss a meeting. To keep that urgency up.

1963 Resolution Condemning the United Nations
by Sea Breeze inquote from that world wide resolution: .
that, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god’s messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the united nations, with international headquarters at new york city.
this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.

Another reason why the Borg cant scrap the 2 class system.
Its because of ""fear"".
Fear of Armageddon,,the big A.
Uncertainty. Will I make it? ?? Will I make it??
If you scrap the 2 class system and JWs realize they ""could be"" heavenly bound,,one realizes that they are going to die anyway and that heaven is their destination.
Take away Armageddon because they realize ""why put on the fear & uncertainty when,,,OH I'm going to die??'"
When you realize that there's no having to ""work"" for your salvation
I'm just pure speculation,,,expect the the gaslighting,.fearmongering to ramp up.. With the continued US vs Them mentality. You have ti earn your salvation through the big A.
Im just speculating of course.!!

Jehovah's Witnesses Are A Cult . . . Pure & Simple!
by Golden4Altar injehovah's witnesses are a cult .
pure & simple!.
the wickedness we see prevalent today among the jehovah’s witnesses can no doubt be largely attributed to the leadership of the organization, the watchtower society and it's governing body.
