i just watched the video what is true love.
first of all it is painfully long.
secondly there is an uncanny resemblance with megan(the one who married out of the truth) to the girl in the jeremiah book who married out of the truth.
Nerds in the real world at least have interests, are smart, usually hook up with another nerd in due time.
JW nerds are the most painful beings to be around. They usually suffer from some of the worst social anxiety. Its virtually impossible to have more than a three minute conversation with them without wanting to shoot yourself in the head.
my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.
"since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.
" is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.
These guys are making televangelists look like honest upstanding citizens!
An amazing money making scam they have going, I'm almost jealous!
i'm not sure the whole 607 b.c.e.
controversy is really that major of a deal.. even if the society admits it and changes it, that's only a difference of 20-21 years, so the governing body could just shift 1914 to 1934-1935 and say that world war ii and hitler was the beginning of the signs.. a much bigger issue is why they even say daniel's tree prophecy has an antitypical fulfillment, especially after their new light on types and antitypes..
Oh and the WTS still lags way, way down there on page three of the results for "2520 years"
One would think the Almighty Jah could at least place his Chosen Organization's explanation of such an important prophecy at the top of Google's search results!!

The interesting thing about 2,520 years is that the WTS is just one of many nutjob religions that use silly biblical numerology. Once again, the WTS proves it is in no way "unique" when compared to all other religions.
Google it here, and see how many charlatans use this stuff to deceive their followers:
let's just say i sometimes don't know how to keep my trap shut.
i really need to learn to keep well enough alone when she attacks me.
keep in mind i never start the fights about the borg.
If you don't want a divorce, stop discussing doctrine with your JW immediately.
Stop now.
I've read a few of your threads, probably not all of them, but enough to get a feel for your wife. You are not dealing with a rational person. You will never, ever win an "argument" over doctrine with a JW.
Stop now. You have to either find another way, or accept life with your JW as it is.
we have all noticed this and commented in other threads.... but isn't it interesting that in times past, witnesses earned a reputation of being so determined to share "the kingdom message" that they would put their foot in the door at a house to keep the conversation going!.
now, the apathy and lack of effort in service; particularly with the literature carts shows the complete opposite!
yet...the end is supposed to be even closer right?
Somewhere along the line the focus switched from "studies" and "placements" to "hours". Of course hours were always part of the equation, but now they make up 90% of the focus of most JWs.
So you get this environment permeated by apathy. Nothing else matters except punching the time clock. Especially for those oh-so-special JWs, the pioneers, its all about counting the hours as they crawl on by.
Its truly pathetic no matter how you look at it.

Sounds like you want a divorce.
I wouldn't count on Jesus doing much, at least that's what I was trying initially when I woke up. I guess he was out to lunch that year.
its inevitable that at some point in time, people will look back and see that the exjw community was right about the watchtower organization and the bible..
i have some friends who are catholic, protestant, and some who dont associate with any religion but believe jesus will come in their lifetime.
we are such a small minority compared to christians that we are viewed as ignorant when it comes to religious matters.
All of us will be pushing up daises before the b0rg experiences anything looking like a "downfall".
Remember, this bunch has a 140 year track record of getting everything wrong. Some people/groups are Teflon Dons.
i met this amazing girl about 6years ago at my local congregation.
i was 100% in back then.
about 3years ago i woke up spiritually and kept it undercover till a few months ago.. this girl is still very in (but she doesnt really do the things a reaaal jw should do.
You are insane if you marry this girl.
That is all.
jesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.
but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.
interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????
Agree with Brokeback, just another religious tale that allows people to hold out hope that this ain't all there is.
While I do feel that this is all there is, there isn't a way to prove it, thus there will always be "believers" walking the earth in some form or another.
