Come on, it is so simple people - Russell used Imperial measurements, but what did the Egyptians use?

by berrygerry in

okay, russell based his measurements of the pyramid chambers using inches to determine 1914.. however, what if we used egyptian measurements?.

duh!.

Now where have we seen something like this before (WMF's Wiki link above)?

October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!

by Oubliette in

on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

exJW - What are the odds today?

JW - There aren't any.

exJW - But surely you have a new date?

Jewish Exodus from Egypt - Documatary - 20 Jun 2013

by Da.Furious in

i have received a link from a friend of mine, he is a baptist pastor.. link address is here.. the article title is: if you dont think the jewish exodus from egypt was real, then watch this video and think again.

the important or interesting thing in this youtube video is that it has some evidence, as the researcher claims, that the exodus happened and the red sea split into two in addition to evidence of egyptian army died at the location.. the documentary is 1 hour 24 minutes long.. .

apologies if this was posted previously but i ran a search and couldnt identify similar one.. as some of you know i am a born-in active jw with a mind of his own!.

Thank you for sharing.

This was of considerable of interest to lay archaeologist "Ron Wyatt".

1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).

Our whole family is 6 or more (now SBNR).

Waking up your spouse

i am aware this has to be done quite carefully, but how?

while many may complain and see the hypocrisy within the kh's, maybe even with the gb, how does one bring up doctrine issues?

i surely can not tell my husband to "go look what jwfacts.com says".

Fernando

Welcome, All for show, and a very smart move in not crossing that line.

Many here have observed that questions work best.

Simple.

Strategic.

Incremental.

What's "THE END" going to look like?

by Coded Logic in

okay, so its no secret that many of us are hoping to see the downfall of the wtbts (or at least a mass exodous of jws away from them anyway).

i was wondering if you had any thoughts on what this might look like?.

we all know that most every jw has their doubts, large and small, but is afraid to speak due to the illusion of unanimity and self censorship .

Fernando

"The Illusion of Unanimity and Self Censorship".

Interesting, and whilst I'm sure these play a role, I doubt I ever thought that everyone believed everything the GB said, except maybe in regard to their divine appointment over us dumb sheeple in 1919. How stupid we were...

yesterday a gentleman came by to install some peripherals for my projector room and as he was looking for something to test the connections and picture i told him to look around in the media center for a video.

i cam out about 3 minutes later to see how things were coming and i noticed that i still had a dvd from the jehovah's witnesses.

i bent down to pick it up and as soon as i did he asked me if i was one.. i told him no, but i use to be.
