  The End is near!..for my great, great,great grandfather...

  by TTWSYF in

  so it occurred to me how crazy the wts is and has been.. if i am 25 years old and my parents had me when they were 25, my grandparents were 25 when they had my parents, and their parents were 25 and so on and we were witnesses, what would we think?.

  my point?.

  my great, great, great grandparents were around 25 years old when the judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s.

  "when the Judge was promoting the end of times in the 1870s."

  You really owe it to yourself to get a more accurate grasp of JW history; lest you sound silly.

  HAHA, Too late for me now,

  "The Judge" was about 1 year old in 1870. But we get your point...............Doc

  Feeling like the scarecrow a little...

  Since Christ's death over 2,000 years ago (!) how many successive generations of believers have been told the end is imminent? How do they sustain belief, given John implored Christ in his vision less than 100 years after Christ's death to "Come quickly, Lord Jesus."
  

  I think that the end was usually thought of as a personal end as opposed to an extinction level event. We all are born to die within a limited amount of time, but the world? Who could possible know?

  Thanks for the corrections though... I'm still learning

Thank God that they did not sell their homes and belongings waiting on the WTS interpretation of the bible.

  They were all taught that they were not going to die.

  What do we tell our kids about the future?

  I think you have to check the facts. Jehovahs Witnesses are one out of 30k+ Christian sects started by a man who thought he knew better. One church started by Jesus and over 30k started by mankind. Why would you or anyone else think that the JWs are the true way.

  What fruits do they produce? The church started by Jesus gave the whole world the schools, hospitals, orphanages, foodbanks, shelters, civil rights for ALL people of the world.

  What has the WTS given the world? What possible fruits can they claim as their own?

  I have not found any fruits what so ever from the WTS. Just lies, scripture twisting and a history of false prophesy.

  I'm very sorry Former Brother, but you should look into real history, and not the revisionist history of the WTS

  less than 5 hours ago my great dad fell asleep the last time :( still in a bit of a shock and sad that i will not see him again...i promised myself that once he is here no more, i will somehow make my move out of this organisation who kept us all captive believing in a fantasy of an everlasting life :( i am in a tricky situation, since raised as jw, still in, married to an active jw, and pretty sure that all in my social and family circle will turn their backs on me if i finally say goodbye to a fairytail ;(.

  When you were fully in, would you lie about how loving your congregation was?

  not long ago my elder brother got very sick.

  he was hospitalized for a few weeks and his jw wife and children were at his side often.

  also, his non jw family was also bedside with him, siblings and parents.. his recollection involves asking us "don't you remember all the jws that came visiting me when i was sick?".

  Neither I nor any other [non JW] family members saw even 1 JW come visiting. Is this the norm?

  I mean, drop off a meatloaf, or ask if you could help in any capacity at all. But, no,,,nothing My brother has a revisionist recollection of history.

  Much like the Watchtower's..although, I didn't tell him that.. lol

  Farewell

  due to unforeseen circumstances, i need to say goodbye.

  proverbs 14:16 nlt.

  i have every faith that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will bring about needed change very soon given the continuous pressure they face.

  Have you thought about starting your own religion? That's what people do when they think they know better.

  That's what the Judge did.

  30,000 Christian religions started by men who knew better

  1 started by the Christ

  Can GB be guilty of sinning against Holy Spirit

  by Chook in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the crime is ,condoning the removal of and shunning of jw children ,who when older want to express freedom of religion and attend another church.

  god created family unit ,gb destroys lives on all levels of family tree.

  can this be the unforgivable sin?.

  "if you are a young person you need to face the fact you will never grow old in this system of things.. why not?

  because all the evidence in fulfilment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years...as a young person you will never fulfil any career that this system offers".

  may 22 awake!

  Thanks for those pages Dark!

  Just a heads up that older Watchtowers are considered apostate material when someone notes that the org was/is in error.

  Can you imagine that?

  And what about changing the scriptures to fit what they want to believe? That's gotta be a sin against the Holy Spirit.
