i hope this letter finds you and your loved ones both happy and well.

one day, before the summer assembly, my parents informed me that they had serious doubts.

i just wanted it to go away, and for things to be the way they used to be.

LL. What LOVE you have demonstrated! One of my favorite scriptures is the one that Nehemiah ask's of Jehovah in the concluding verse of his book. "Oh Jehovah remember me for good." You have done good for so many persons whether they appreciate it or not. You will be remembered by Jesus when that time comes.

The foundation that the society stands on is a date that is inaccurate. It is Jesus who is the foundation that we stand on not some date.

Thank you for all the time and loving effort you put into this and sharing it with us.

Worse than 911. Nuclear attack will come from inside america. It's only a matter of time.

For those who researched 607...

by AwSnap in

jw
friends

did you use wt dates as well as things found from a secular perspective?

if a witness was researching the 607 dates strictly from watchtower info, would it still become clear they are wrong?

or does the wtbs *make* the dates add up...?

Walkin

Hi Aw Snap! Very rarely will you find the wtbs not support what it writes even if they have to omit historical information that is accepted by historical research from historians. So, when you research wtbs literature on 607, you find that it is supported by their findings, you will not find it not supported.

Sidebar: However when you go out side the wtbs research and research other unbias historians who do not have an agender to support, you will find that the wtbs is in error in their conclusions about how they arrive at 607.

Once 607 falls so does 1914 and 1919.

I answered your question in the first paragraph,the other two are separate issues to consider.

seems so long ago, 1975, lots happened to us all since but not the promised big a and a new system - what we get now is bethelites made redundant, no sign of a promise fulfilled, and yet millions still adhere to the wt.

and still in front of us is 2014 - how will; the wt big that up'.

1975 has been made redundant like hundreds of bethelites - as far as i know the year has not been mentioned for - well 35 years now.

Walkin

Well, lets see if they put any stock in 2012.

i know a lot of people were upset when mash ended.

i never was a big fan of the show, probably because it was on a meeting night, but it was a very popular show.. i loved hill street blues, taxi, all in the family, the rifleman, even superman!

i wished those shows never stopped!.

If The Magi Were So Bad Why Did God Actually Use Them?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i never understood this.

they could've told herod where the baby jesus was but refused.

if they were satan's tool, they would've been thrilled to give the report..

Walkin

Mini, I am curious. You ask questions about what the Bible says, do you actually believe those accounts as being true or are you asking for those that do believe?

I Have a New Method for Dealing With Ridiculous Assumptions

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

my one disclaimer is this: to my theistic friends, i am not saying the following to be disrespectful of your beliefs.

however, since i don't believe as you all do, it is only honest of me to present this.. i bring this up because i have been caught up lately in debates that i normally don't involve myself in.

i have been left a little drained and confused as to why i allowed myself to argue a point till its beaten to a bloody pulp.

Walkin

Lately I have been using Minimus's tact, asking questions like how, why, where ,what and when. It just drives them crazy.

They quote some scripture and I ask How do you know that it's true and has not been tampered with? Why do you believe that? When was that written? How do you know? Where and when was the bible put together and by whom? etc.

Remember, how we were taught to overcome "Conversation Stoppers" well, AllTimeJeff, Here is a whole bunch of them conversation stoppers I just posted.
