  The boy who has cried wolf - for nearly 140 years!

  "when will this hope be fulfilled?

  the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.

  present world conditions match what the bible foretold.

  Nah,, no nah.

  But prophecies & generations can overlap though.

  Then its ok.

  Perfect sense.

  I didn't know that this flip flop from the 1989 WT to the 1989 bound volume took place,,,up until a few years ago.

  As recently as 2016 I found this out.

  Great work Blondie as always.

  Outstanding!!!

  Sad observation

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  reading about jw.org rules changes these days gives me a sad observation.. everything what "is" today, can be gone tomorrow.. that makes it all worthless.

  you were an elder, searching for evidence, and proof to df a person.

  because he or she was not humble enough.

  " remove the wicked man from among you" in wt land means to induce full on cult shunning.

  The jws and the most naive mindset.

  Have believed,, still believe & will always believe Armageddon is no more than 3 to 5 years away.

  Never preparing for life & negating their own needs in doing so

  The org's "new lights" - corrupting Proverbs 4:18

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  proverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".

  the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.

  15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?

  Remember that the faithful slave ( governing body) is " neither fallible or inspired therefore it can err when it comes to spiritual direction".

  Thats why!!!

  Worldly people hey??

  I think its just the Borgs stance to firm-up their us vs. them mentality.

  When you're out there in there in the workforce,,, and daily activities you see how ''worldly" people are.

  Most people are humane,, hospitable & down to earth. The jws us vs them & black & white thinking isn't that ""black and white"". Its just to firm-up their persecution complex.

  The same is for within the congregations. Their are people you "can't stand" in the jws as with people out of the Borg. People,, criminals,, whatever.

  Black & white thinking,, us vs them mentality,,,, it isn't that clear!!!

  i'm unclear on how this has been achieved or if permissions have been given.

  presumably, audible (part of amazon) have their own procedures to ensure legality, but here it is nonetheless;.

  listen to crisis of conscience - raymond franz by crisis of conscience - raymond franz on audible.
