  Sacolton,

  Its a death knell to everything Jehovah's Witness

  Did we ever fulfill Mathew 24:14?

  i know ... many mistakes and a nasty leadership ,but did jehovah's witnesses fulfill even partially matthew 24:14 :"the good news will be preached in all the inhabited earth and then the end will come "are we to expect a final or a completely different fulfilment of this verse ?

  Yes. Every time you leave a WT in a laundry mat or at a bus stop.....you're doing exactly what Jesus was saying.

  You asked what was going through most Witnesses minds....let me help:

  Almost nothing about their religion.

  Most of them are so uneducated it would shock you. They don't study, the greater majority have never read the Bible, much less their own literature. They are caught up in a repetitive schedule.......it pacifies their minds that they are doing something good......

  To test the theory, ask one what happened in 1919. Most of them have no clue.

  They are thinking about bills, work, stress, gossip, hiding their drinking/porn. Almost none of them think about anything deeper than what outfit to wear when it comes to a District Convention.

  Are you DF'd? Share the weirdness, I'll start.....

  by Pickler in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i started a reply on the topic of "what's your status?

  " and it made me think about my df hearing (sorry i can't remember the exact term for what happened).. so i was fading, living in a different country, working & making rare appearances at my kingdom hall.

  i was flat sharing with a sister though.

  I've served on hundreds of committees.....and I can tell you....the vast majority of elders I served with watched porn and literally got turned on by hearing other people's sexual details.

  So sick

  There are many, many people that can relate to that feeling.

  Self admission: once as an elder a sister came to me to tell me she enjoyed my talk......I said thank you and asked if she was visiting. She looked at me strange and said "I've been coming here for over a year"

  I was looking for a hole to crawl into. And I prided myself on knowing everyone.

  I'll never forget how terrible I felt.

  Long a pet project story for me.........but not any longer.

  Many believe he killed the baby BECAUSE it was in the line leading to the Messiah.....and illegitimate.

  Before you say it.....NO, it doesn't make sense.......Rahab was a hooker and got be in the line to Christ.....but an innocent baby?

  Don't get a migraine thinking about this too long.......

  i'm a bit excited about this to be honest with you.

  i'm not even remotely a cycling fan, but all this controversy made it a bit difficult to simply ignore.

  i'm curious to see how he does when those questions come at him full force.

  ^^ He sure is James.......

  I'm actually more shocked by the stupidity of Notre Dame and yesterday's press conference.

  Do they not realize we all have Youtube, as well as thousand of other references, that will completely expose what this kid did?????

  So weird!!!
