  So do we think that the word "about' in this timeline is evidence of a crack in the confidence on this date?

  They don't ever put something like that for public consumption in casually.

  Is this the first crack of Noo Light?

  His generation did not realise that getting drunk every night was not a good idea either. I think that his generationa has done a lot of overlapping. it looks like he overlapped with a 15 year old.

  What a sleazy git. Good for the girl to persevere and bring hin down.

  Err, urm, err OK? ABOUT, ABOUT 1914. Are they not sure any more? Whats going on? Have they been reading this forum? Do they realise how far out 607 BCE is?

  Hmmm.

  WT simplifying dates? other thought on Dec 15 edition.

  by prologos in

  trivial but interesting:.

  1) page 23 : simplified memorial date : 4 numbers only: 14 / 4/ 20 14 -or- 4 / 14 / 20 14 -or- 20 14 / 4 / 14. it is only numerology, and if you switched between julian& gregorian calenders, the order would disappear , yet if we could have an eclipse too, like we had in the 60s in eastern north america, icing on the cake.. 2) the front cover, two huge stones piled in the back yard of the house, precariously perched.

  perhaps an attempt to please god through service 6000 bc.

  All hail the Governing Body and God's Corporation

  by mindnumbed in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an annual meeting is a legal requirement for a corporation.. the watchtower annual meeting (agm) is a legal event that has become the biggest spiritual event of the year, overshadowing what is supposed to be the most important event, the memorial of christ's death.. praise be to the governing buddies who sit on the throne of christ..

  Well SFPW you are out of touch. In the UK this is a not only a ticket only event but there is seat allocation. The list from each congregation was vetted by the SS in London Bethel confirmation. To call this inclusive is ludicrous. I know of an 18 year old who commenced pioneering on the 1st October who was invited whilst people who have been in good standing for 50 plus years who were not.

  The fact that this governing body (note the lack of capitals) chooses this exclusive (excluding) event to release something they consider of great value shows how hierachical this organisation or secret society is. There was no announcement, no letter read, simply the elders clumsily going round the hall issuing invitations to the lucky? ones whilst the others tried to appear unconcerned. So at the next meeting the favoured ones will be brandishing their new bibles whilst the other poor sods will sheepishly open their old ones.

  Any one that says that everyone is the same before Jehovah is deluded. How can they organise anything they count as so important in such away that it is only available if you are:

  American 100%, other English speaking maybe 60%, other language groups 0%.

  The whole AGM thing seems to be aimed at bigging up the governig body. To me it seems ill judged and designed to be divisive. We seem to have a pattern. New light is spread to the few and gradually rolled out the many by rumour and gossip. They seem to be aiming to look more cultish by design.

  The point is, where ever you are in the world you will hear it first on this site. The new bible is a fact but it is not news to us because we are already bored with it.

  I guarantee that before our lot in the UK depart for their assembly halls on Sunday AM we will know all the salient points. The only question as I say is who will hit the key board first.

  Eve made our periods painful

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just remembering this teaching--that a mythical woman ate a piece of fruit 1000s of years ago after a snake told her to, and that's the reason we have menstrual pain.. you see, the bible says eve was cursed for her sin with painful childbirth.

  hence we can make up extrapolate that this includes menstruation, which is just part of childbearing.

  then we can make up extrapolate that this applies to all females in the entire human race today, because according to a loving god we should all share in her sin as we all have vaginas too.. i remember crying in total agony while i was insulted comforted by having this scripture and explanation read aloud to me, and thinking how much this knowledge drew me closer to jehovah made me realize what a misogynistic wackadoodle cult this was.. thor causing thunder is more plausible than this.. if dubs take midol, does that mean they are scoring jehovah's lesson?.

  In the UK periods are still often referred to as "the curse". I think the bible's attitude to women has made me into an under-cover male feminist.
