It doesn't matter if the number rises to 13,000 next year. Mind control dictates the following in the jw mind:

Where else can we go?

I know this is the truth!

The light is getting brighter.

This is the only religion going door to door like Jesus.

1947 Awake Says Excommunication is Unbiblical and Pagan!

by Ding in

january 8, 1947 awake!:.

excommunication is "altogether foreign to biblical teachings.".

it's an unbiblical roman catholic teaching by which "you are looked upon with the blackest contempt... being cursed and damned with the devil and his angels.".

I find it pretty surprising that they aren't "polishing" the figures and keeping it steady or a slight decrease, at least until they barf up a new argument.

A Big Thanks to John Williams at Bethel

by mentallyfree31 in

about five years ago, john williams came to philadelphia, ms as a visiting bethel speaker for our special assembly day.

i was well acquainted with him, as he had been to my kh before as a special weekend speaker, and also to a neighboring congregation.

in his afernoon talk, he goes off about social network websites and he made this statement: "brothers, make no mistake about it, myspace is no place for christians".

Was John Williams from the UK? I guess he did have a strong accent, I forgot about that.

Speaking of which, I just found an MP3 cd here that somebody gave me of 24 special talks, given by Bethelites and JW hard-hitters over the years. I never listened to any of them. I will hang onto it for a souvenir.

In his afernoon talk, he goes off about social network websites and he made this statement: "Brothers, make no mistake about it, MySpace is no place for Christians". I remember leaving the assembly and for probably the first time ever saying to myself "That is complete bullsh**!" This was years before I awakened and left, but it was a stepping stone in the progression of events. That was the first time I ever mentally took a stand and refused to believe something from the organization and thought it was wrong. Many of my "spiritual" jw friends went home that very night and deleted their myspace accounts. I never did. I just graduated to facebook a couple of years later.

So for that, I would like to give a big THANK YOU to John Williams. You may never know it buddy, but you assisted me leaving this cult. I will be forever grateful.

If Armageddon comes on a Tuesday......

by ThomasCovenant in

does it mean that all the people who die on the monday will be resurrected on wednesday, whereas those who die on the tuesday are dead forever?.

in practice, isn't this the jw belief?.

therefore, every death now, prior to the 'imminent' armageddon, is really a blessing in disguise..

Wobble - Interesting point of view. And very true. It all seem so silly when you can just put it in black and white.
