The JW "We don't live for dates" argument
by sabastious ini have ran into this a few times lately.
there is so much wrong with this statement, but i want to just focus on the points that have the highest chance of setting into the jw's mind.. .
what first comes to mind is the fact that jw's have been peddling the "end of the world" being right around the corning for over 100 years.... .

Yup. They all live for that day coming in their lifetimes. The only time I "start to not live for that day" is when they get so old that they realize they might die "before the end."

If JW's "don't live for dates" then why the main focus on Armageddon? It will come "like a thief in the night" correct? Then why has the Watchtower continually stated "how close it REALLY is" for so long?
If you get a time warp machine and find this exact conversation in each decade for the past 100 years the Witness would have the same exact argument and position. That they don't live for dates, but that the end of the world is "very close" and that the org is constantly providing new light every day.
STOP! Please stop saying the end of the world is so close! You have lost your prediction privileges! Maybe it is, but we OBVIOUSLY aren't supposed to be predicting how "close" we "really" are.
You say you don't for dates, but it's funny the only time you mention that position is when one of your dates or "time-periods" fail to come to fruition.
If you TRULY don't live for dates then stop thinking about Armageddon, and start focusing on doing the right things, making the right decisions for yourself and your family.
Your future is important, God wants you to take care of yourself, not slave away in hopes that it will all be worth it "very soon."™

BANE......
by Quentin inbane said, on another thread:.
quentin, you haven t moved on!
that is my whole point!

According to any JW posting on here at all would fall in the catagory what BANE is talking about.
It's a blanket judgement. Some do need to take a break from this forum and let go. Many have let go but still like to hang her and reminisce.
I'm not going to deny that the catagory doesn't exist, but I will say that any Witness will use it as a crutch to demonize people who have left the organization.

Here is my advice to anyone using the Bible as a source of prophecy:
Before you can honestly use this book to predict the future you need to validate is authenticity. The way I did this was doing a lot of research on the Flood of Genesis.
Ask yourself:
Why is it in the Bible?
Why did God do it? What was his motivation?
Such a planetary cataclysm surely would have well documented evidence, so why is there so much contention over the event even happening?
The Flood HAS to be human history in order for the Bible to be even close to authentic enough to predict our civilization's future. And if one finds that it was indeed not human history what then? Will you become a Biblical Flood Appologetic? Or will you do the most logical thing and question the source.

Do you believe the Bible?
by Cagefighter ini don't want to high jack african gb's thread but something got me thinking.... moses, abraham were inbred and hearing god's voice... paul never met jesus yet he is the only apostle coming down like a hammer of gays and has this "close bond" with timothy.
then there is the issue of "horus" the egyptian god and is this where the story of jesus comes from.
i have searched the internet for information on horus and have not had much luck finding anything authorative either way.. my question is do you or don't you believe in the bible and why or why not?

America Never Even Joined The League Of Nations!
by BluesBrother inmy knowledge of modern history might be a little thin, gained largely from the books of the wts and the "outworking of prophecy", so humour me if this is common knowledge to everyone else.. the wts has identified the characters in revelation 13 as being 1) the two horned beast = anglo american power, and 2) an image of the beast = the league of nations and later on the u.n.o.
but really it was only an image to the wild beast.. wt 1986 2/1 p6.
they did this by getting the nations to make an image to the wild beast.

It is not a lie, because it nowhere is stated that the USA joined. To the contrary, it is repetedly stated that they never joined, but that they nonetheless were one of the powers initiating it etc. So you would search in vain for a statement thay they were a member nation. And although it is some years ago that I had my history lessons in school, I know we were always taughts that the USA never joined, so it should come as a surprise to no-one.
I know I cataloged everything I learned in school!
My brain works exactly like a filing cabinet...in that it's very easy to forget to file something important.
