what else could they get away with?
by highdose in

having explained/pointed out the doctrinal flip flops to some jw's i know i was astonished to find that they just brushed it all aside, on one occasion they seemed to just tune me out and quit listening.

the gb really do have them whipped, it makes me wonder what it would take for them to sit up and realise what a insane religon they are in?!

and in the meantime how much can the gb get away with because of the blind faith of their followers?

"the way of the truth is the best way of living.. no better way can there be found.".

remember that?

it's the opening line to 'make the truth your own'.

whilst trying to discuss the history of jwism with my family, the 1914 and 1919 dates were brought up!.

is there a definitive topic/article which discusses these dates?.

i have heard talk of pyramids, and no scriptural basis at all.

Watchtower study today at meeting

well, looks like they do have a new date for the conclusion of the end, and that we should "be prepared".

even some people that commented said that 90 years of the 120 years have passed by and we should be prepared for the time at hand.

2034 people, 2034.... i've had enough, i'm talkign to the elder about this one, i don't care if i get labelled or not.

i am a baptized witness... i've been around it most of my life.

i've been baptized for a while now.. just as a topic of thought, what do you think is the current state of the society/jehovah's witnesses today?

it seems like we're in the last days.... but then again, the last days have been going on for 60+ years!

hi people.

i am a df'd person hoping to return to the fold.

i am not critical of the decision to df me nor of the loving organization i believe to be in the palm of jesus hand.. i would find it most encouraging to hear from others who feel the same and would like to "hold hands" on the way back.. this board is hailed as a supportive respectful place so if you do not fit this description may i ask you to move on and not hinder the participants here in following their god given right to pursue their goal.

About posting your picture be careful!

simon i'm sorry i don't mean to rain on your parade but you have to remember the society and your local elders watch for stuff like that.

this is a very liberal board as far as discussions go and forever thankful for that, but you have to be careful because you could face a jd meeting.

i'm sure everyone is well aware that some posts on this board just wouldn't go over to well with the society.
