A few questions when they say" The light gets brighter"
How about this question......Isn't Satan an angel of "light"?
god is the alpha and omega.
he created everything from the vast universe to small quarks.
he created the human beings with 23 pairs of chromosomes with 4x10^171 possible variations (that's a 4 with 171 zeroes behind it) he created complex emotions and abstract thoughts.

earlier today, i posted a picture on facebook of me reuniting with a couple of my childhood friends.
we all grew up together in the kh.
i, unfortunely, was the only one stupid enough to get baptised.
Pathetic the way JW's bang on about birthdays. Miserable sods don't want the kiddies to have any fun.
Then the miserable sods cry & complain about 2 of every 3 kids born into this religion leaving it when they become adults. Joyless, life-sucking cult.
aguest, jehovah-jirah, lars58, rick fearon, finkle, or another scholars on jwn.
what reason does the governing body have for telling.
seven million jehovah's witnesses, "jesus is not your man dude!
Never read this thread until now. Very interesting.
I think the WTS flubbed the dub when they emphasized the Jesus is Mediator of only the 144,000 doctrine. The WTS should have just broad stroked it to be Jesus is still the Mediator for all faithful JW's, but technically only the 144,000 are in the New Covenant. I actually found it offensive for them to be so dogmatic in their view of this. IMO.....these types of teachings started pushing the JW's more into the cult catagory.
Old Goat.....I like the way you write to explain things.
i came across this video featured on yahoo of a girl dancing at lax over the holidays.
i looked her up and found out that she is a former jw and even did some sort of play about it.
i was wondering if anyone else has heard of her.
.....she is a former JW and even did some sort of play about it.
Good for her for getting out. Looks like she has found something to make her happy.
yesterday at 3 am my grandfather.. 95 more or less... passed away after a heart attack... i got the call at 8 am.
so i am the oldest grandson (out of 40) he was faithful, (thats what they want to say) reality is he wasnt, he cursed, he drank, he had plenty of women during his life.. he was an elder at some point and he was ultra good with everyone.
he had a heart of gold... he treated me as his son, he never cared about my status.
That was a very nice writeup. Sounds like you loved your Grandpa, and that he loved you. Sorry for your loss.

Aunt Connie.....you are right, people should quit putting stickers on your laundry mat Watchtowers. They should throw them in the fucking trash.
you've seen or heard about the ripley's believe it or not museums, where different weird & wacky items are displayed from human culture.
let's compile a list of the weird & wacky items from the jw religion that would make a great jw believe it or not museum.
maybe the wts could open one up it's own historical museum in brooklyn to make some big money.
Nathan Knorr's Oath of Allegiance Card
Nathan Knorr the Watchtower Society president from 1942-1977 signed the allegiance oath below to obtain a passport. When faced with a similar situation the Watchtower Society did not let the Malawi JW's buy the political party card under the theocratic warfare pretense. The refusal of the Malawi JW's to buy the political card let to the rape, torture & death of many JW's there. Would it have really been a greater sin for Malawi JW's to buy the political party card? Would there really have been that much difference in the Malawi JW's buying the political card, compared to Knorr taking the oath of allegiance below in other to obtain a passport? The Watchtower Society could just have easily declared theocratic warfare and the Malawi JW's could have obtained their lives. Evidently in the wacky world of the Watchtower religion it was okay for Knorr to take the oath below- Believe It or Not.
