  Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

  .. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

  instead of preaching and saving people??.

  is coming and the elder wanted to set up a visit.

  it's not like i wasn't warned.

  there was a thread that talked about the push to call on inactive ones.. thanks to the heads up here, i knew the motive for the call.. i don't think i even know that eld.

  MissFit ... a couple of elders showed up at my door the week of the CO visit wanting to meet with me, we set a tentative time to meet, I followed up with a "that day isn't going to work for me" he said we would talk and set up a time later .... that was 7 weeks ago ... most likely the elder doesn't really care if he gets to meet with you (maybe he has genuine concern), what he does care about is that he can report to the CO that he did his job.

  FL_Panthers .... you won't find anything in writing that comes right out and says 1975 is the end, they somewhat learned their lessons from past specific predictions ... what they did was build hype about it, they were careful not to write anything 100% specific about it, but they taught it "off the books" and implied it heavily in publications and talks from 1968 on.

  I imagine this will be quite a positive cash flow for the BORG even if some congregations are paying less. I know that the Society's Kingdom Hall Fund was the least supported in my congregation and the amount read off each month in the thank you letter was pennies compared to what they will be getting now.

  My Elderette is attempting to change the subject again

  by Faithful Witness in

  2. bible

  we were in the middle of discussing their use of god's personal name, and miss k was not able to find one place in the bible, where jesus actually said the name out loud (that wasn't a quote from the ot).

  we had started out by talking about jesus being "the way, the truth and the life.

  " then she stated that one of the purposes of jesus' coming to earth, was "to make god's name known.

  Be careful Faithful Witness, your elderette is planting seeds and they may just grow with enough water fertilizer and time.

  Title should be ... God's Kingdom Rules Through The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Faithful and Discreet Slave Selected By Jesus Because of their Association with The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, Inc. ..... maybe that's a little too long though

  What hate ... Paranoia. Control control control

  Apostates are usually people who don' t study or read the bible much, never get a real foundation in the truth... I wonder if this guy heard about Ray Franz?
