Hi Horseygirl12, You need an advocate, someone to talk between you and your parents. You first sentence shows your frustration. Can you go back to the school and ask to speak to the counselor. Tell her you need help and he/she will know what to do. There is a lot you need to talk about and growing up a witness I know most parents won't know how to help you or can't unless authority figures make them listen. You need to know there is always a place for you to go with the help of the social worker. I wish you the best. But slip away real soon and tell your counselor.

Human kindness
by stillin ini hold kindness in high regard; it separates us from the drudgery of life and elevates those who practice it as well as those who receive it.
my family has been going through a big crisis for several weeks now and i've noticed a few things.
several of the elders have expressed their concern for us, shared a scripture and then back out to field service or whatever.

Scared of Armageddon?
by naja inin the light of the following promises made by jehovah, how can there be an armageddon?.
genesis 8:21: ... so jehovah said in his heart: never again will i cursethe groundon mans account, for the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up;and never again will i strike down every living thing as i have done.. genesis 9:15, 16: and i will certainly remember my covenant that i made between me and you and every living creature of every kind;and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.and the rainbow will occur in the cloud, and i will certainly see it and remember the everlasting covenant between god and every living creature of every kindon the earth.. does it make sense to say "i will never kill you by a flood, next time i will use fire?
just asking.. .

Amageddon is judgement of the system, not judgement of individual people. When it is over all kinds of people will recognize that the world is now under one rulership and nations will comply once they see what is going on. It is not JUDGEMENT DAY. That is 1,000yrs long, after everybody learn what the real truth is and can decide if they want to do it. Witnesses uses sriptures in the wrong place and when it is symbolic they say literal and have the scriptures in the wrong time period.

Some Bible Students that were teenagers gave testimonies stating Br. Rutherford and Br. Russell were not on good terms and Br. Rutherford was actually dismissed when Br. Russell died. Their children and others tell their stories.
He didn't want anyone looking even minutely like Br. Russell and if your refused to be clean shaven you were dismissed from Bethel. Hated might be a strong word from the testimonies I have heard.
Blondie's quote concerning this was the sanitized version presented in the literature. Many Bible Students still wear beards now and with so many doing so it seems normal to see it. None wear their's like Br. Russell however just normal diverse styles.

Who's the King of the North & South now?
by prophecor inback in the old days i used to hear talk about these kings.
are they still teaching anything about these kings in daniel as it pertains to the " time of the end?".

King of the North is Syria and the king of the South is Egypt. North and South of Israel and the book of Daniel is actually history that we can check.
The society has lost these kings because they are anti- Jew. Check history against each verse and you will see Cleopatra and all of them fit minutely what Daniel said.
In 1967 Syria was still a problem. Because the witnesses think God lies and goes back on his word to Abraham and to the Jews in Isiah and Jeremiah they have lost those kings. The Green book was a bunch of crazy.

I hope he has an irrevocable trust account like I did. When the JW brother married me he was unaware and tried to get me to put his name on everything including bank accounts. He wanted beneficiary changed to him instead of children. If your father refuses,like I did, the Mrs. will hightail it out of there really quick if a golddigger.
Also these are stages of grief and he needs to enjoy himself at eighty. But try to nudge up to him and say, go for it, but don't change the will until you have been married 5years. Normally, however he will spend it all on her and there won't be a need for a will. Wish you well.

Blondie many witnesses do not realize that when it says" and then the end will come", it is referring to the end of the poreaching work. All nations know about Christ if not every person. Armageddon is not judgement on people so any not caught in the aftermat of war will survive and those that died during and as a result of fighting him will get a resurrection as they die an Adamic death. Jehovah not Jesus has power over that death after in the Millennium every PERSON WILL HEAR AND KNOW. Solution is simple.

Armageddon is nothing but the takedown of society by Christ not judgement day. Any dying during that time dies an Adamic death and is ransomed by Christ. Neighbors, prisoners, JW, Non JW, the whole world living during this time will survive and have toi acknowledge the new government and submit after having knowledge. Then dead will rise also.
The great crowd and the ones that are chosen for the bride are all heavenly class. The great crowd is the temple workers. All persons that didn't get cught in or fought with Jesus will survive and those that fought will come back and bow before him as EVERY KNEE both on top and under will address Jesus.
Proof text for this is at the www.friendsofjehovahswitnesses.com site to the left under armageddon.
