A 3 phase great tribulation.?? Has anybody else heard this before? July 15 2013 Watchtower
by SeekingTheRealTruth inam i the only one that never heard this before?
on pg 3 par 3 of july 15 2013 watchtower it says "for a number of years, we thought that the great tribulation began in 1914 with world war i and that "those days were cut short" by jehovah in 1918 when the war ended so that the remnant would have the opportunity to preach the good news to all nations.
" after the completion of that preaching work,satans empire would be destroyed.

It was only mentally diseased apostates under satan's direction who knew better than to believe in a three phase tribulation. JW's who are being led by men claiming to be directed by Holy Spirit, were once again misinformed.

They were probably acting out the theme song to that old sitcom, "Threes Company" Come and knock on my door...I've been waiting for you...
It's probably not a bad idea in some cases to have safety in numbers going for you, but it must be odd to open your door to a crowd.
When you think about the fact that JW's almost always work in two's, you have to wonder how that skewes the annual report of hours spent in service when two people are counting time at one place.

The more one runs an event over in ones mind, the more firmly embedded it becomes in the circuitry of the brain. Make a point of dismissing these unwanted thoughts as soon as you notice you are having them. Shoo them away like one shoos' away flies at a picnic.....don't go there anymore. Replace these thoughts with ones you would rather think about....change the channel to something more upbuilding. Soon you'll be adept at recognizing them when they first occur and you will gain the ability to short circuit these episodes before they go far enough to spoil your day.

My wife's aunt always did her duty but told her 4 kids that if abortion would have been legal...a few of them wouldn't be here. She's the same one who gave her second child up for adoption and went to great lenghts to find him later when he was in his thirties and her other 4 had all grown up together. Surprisingly they are all really well adjusted, succesful and happy people and love their now elderly Mom and Dad dearly and argue over who gets to care for them. The brother who was adopted out was resentful that he was given away and missed growing up with a brother who was the spitting image of himself and 3 beautiful and fun sisters. Funny how things work out...one parent treats their kids well and the kids are a mess...another parent says and does some pretty unthinkable things yet the kids do alright...it's all kind of a crap shoot.

Your own mortality, how do you cope with it?
by CookieMonster ini've been a lurker here and an inactive jw for a number of years.
i've always had some annoying doubts but brushed it aside but over the last few years i've had time to "think" away from the wt.
perhaps there is no paradise, maybe no god and this life is all there is.

It's a difficult thing to grow up thinking that you're never gonna' die and then have to come to grips with that fact all at once rather than little by little as you grew up. All I can say is that it is easier if you trust that you'll do your best no matter what comes your way. Make a point of taking things a day at a time, doing the best you can each day to be pleasant to those around you, do healthy things to improve your chances of a healthy future and take small steps each day toward improving yourself or your life in the immediate future. If you find you are worrying, it is because you are thinking too far into the future. People never worry about the past, only have regrets or anger about things that could have been done better. The future is unknown and we often don't like not knowing what is going to happen. Get comfortable with that. Bring your thoughts into the present moment and what you can do today. Children are great at this and thats part of why they are so carefree. A certain amount of peace comes along with acceptance. As you grow into the idea that living forever isn't likely to happen and might not be such a good thing anyway, you'll find this topic a little easier to deal with. A little denial is OK in this area in fact it's probably healtier than being too realistic. Realists may be more accurate than optimists but they aren't necessarily happier. Who's to say what really happens after we die. I'm taking a wait and see attitude. It's out of my hands and may be none of my business.

I thought they were sent to the camps for simply being JW's, Jews or gay rather than for not joining the military.

It's odd that even though JW's believe Satan was behind Hitler, they also beleive any JW who would have given in under torture or threat of torture by this Satan "possessed" man, would suffer the same punishment from God... that of everlasting cutting off. This old man, had he signed that document, would have been viewed as someone who failed Jehovah and would have felt shame for the rest of his life even though Hitler and his gang were the ones who were the problem. All those that did die in concentration camps 70+ years ago have, along with Hitler, been dead all these years. Most of what they thought was the "truth" has been changed, Armegeddon still hasn't arrived...what was the point of all this supposed loyalty?
