"So pretty much you admit you're nothing more than a troll? You're telling me the only part that I got right, and allow me to type my statement in full, "a troll who at worst knows exactly what she's doing."?
Simon or one of the mods, would one of you do your job and ban this whore already."
I omitted the troll part of your comment. Me, making you think is obviously bothering you. I'm not prepping you so meeting your maker on judgment day won't be such a surprise if that's what you think.

"Why do you people entertain this nut? Seriously WTF!?!?!?! She's schizo or bipolar at the least, or a troll at the worst who knows exactly what she's doing. Why do you keep entertaining her? She derails other's threads, and you mods allow her to do it. You posters who've been members here for quite a while answer her questions no matter how nonsensible they may be. She doesn't even post her own material. She copies and pastes everything from Wikipedia. You give her the attention she craves. When you respond to her, you're responding to Wikipedia!!!!! Why?!?!?!?!!?!? Again I ask, WHY?!?!!?!?!!? Weeping's satanic threads didnt even get this much attention. She's brought nothing to this forum but irritation and confusion. I mean seriously, WTF?"
"knows exactly what she's doing" is the only thing you got right.

" But power in the hands of ignorant corrupt men will always be a damaging blight against humanity."
The WTS doesn't have any power. They don't form alliances with rulers or spend any money that goes into the organization on themselves. You have no memories of any intervention from God?

The story sounds weird. This is generally not why people leave. Born in 1975 and content as an atheist/humanist for decades, since my departure from the JWS. If you were quite young when you left, there's some things you probably missed.
many of them in ignorance practice things that god's word shows to be wicked.
if they persist in this course, they will be among those who perish during the great tribulation.----------------------------------------------------------------------------"only jehovah's witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the supreme organizer, have any scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by satan the devil.

"How amazing that our recent batch of "apologists" has not posted on this thread... There simply is no apology to be made for an org that openly condemns most of humanity to death."
If you don't beleive Armageddon is real why does it matter? It appears the world is rotting from within. There's some pretty corrupt people out there. How do you think divine intervention should work it self out?

" I'm guessing this is THE question your pertaining to.
In relation to all of stories from the ancients involving their gods/spirits etc. , definitely no.
Too much as been learned now in all the many sciences to support those particular stories out of
mankind's history.
Besides, I already have enough power, money and control over others in my life so the need for religion is mute and unnecessary."
What happened that made you leave JWs?

Answer the question I asked seriously thetrueone. It's not a trick question.

Before I speak anymore about this, anyone challenging this prophecy is going to have to tell me something about themselves. Do you believe in a supreme being, etc?
The Existence of God
Again the early Bible students made an objective decision about the 1914 prophecy based on the best information that was at their disposal. They could have stated any date they wanted for the end of the Gentile times because it had not happened yet.
“It was in B.C. 606, that God’s kingdom ended, the diadem was removed, and all the earth given up to the Gentiles. 2520 years from B.C. 606, will end in A.D. 1914.” —The Three Worlds, published in 1877, page 83.
Will contradictory information surface later? Most certainly yes.
Tentative history gives us something to go by, but the grand theme of the Bible does not revolve around the 1914 prophesy, nor does tentative history disprove God's inspired word and its harmonious theme. There's a bigger picture to be considered. I provided some background information on this and of course no one commented on it.
What is the point in disproving the 1914 prophecy may ask? If the 1914 prophecy isn't true your not going to be destroyed by God like refuting Pascal's Wager means you may not go hell? Something to this effect?
having been out of the organisation for over 4 years and having finally released my kids from the hellish existance that is life as a jw, it struck me today how enjoyable our weekends are in comparison to when we were jw's.. the weekends are vital for us just now.
my wife doesn't work but i work full time from very early in the morning.
i don't get to see my beutiful children in the morning during the week.
"Alice/Rachel; sounds like you and your mum are a perfect double act, need to move in again together and get back on the acid."
Actually reading some of these posts is like a bad trip on acid. I just think of it as combat training for nervy adults who feel CPS should be contact for taking your kid to the meeting as it's “criminal.” You feed your kid LSD and I'll take my daughter the meetings. Thank you for listening.

"I don't mean to be out of order here but can everyone just ignore the attention seeking poster and let the thread die.
The on topic comments have been excellent. Thanks."
Attention seeking poster? Many times it seems I can't challenge an argument here without getting attacked by a bunch of rabid dogs. Backtrack and read the posts jambon1 to ascertain who really through your initial topic off track. Not naming names, but some forum users here don't have the intellectual honesty or courtesy of domestic animals let alone qualify as human beings.
