It's truly amazing how many lives this scripture has ruined.

A knock-down argument against the WBTS interpretation of Matt 24:45-47!
by yadda yadda 2 inthe wbts teaches that in 1919 jesus inspected all of christendom and appointed the wbts "over all his belongings" in fulfillment of matthew 24:45-47: "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

2014 means nothing
by konceptual99 ini know there have been many comments over the recent past about 2014 being potentially a key point in time for the wts as it's 100 years since 1914 but my view is that it means absolutely nothing.. people are people and history shows the psychological hold that organisations like the wts has just carries on captivating people.
the org survived the 1975 debacle and they will potter on for years to come regardless of things like 100 years since 1914, especially since this is something the wts are simply not talking about.
it means nothing to anyone other than people looking for something to bash the wts with.. it's not mentioned in the literature and is unlikely to be anytime soon - why the heck would the wts want to remind people of the length of time?.

I've been saying it since people have been talking about 2014 being a big deal. JW's will not care. If they would care about something like that, they would have cared about all of the past crap the WT has spouted off. The WT will acknowledge it and say how close we must be. They will mention it being 100 years at assemblies and talk about how close to the end we are. Business as usual.

by pandora insorry for the previous post..... i fat fingered and can't figure out how to delete it.... .
i want a tattoo, but i want it to make a statement.
and that statement is that i think the jw's are a cult and bad in all ways.

I like the Beatles song Blackbird... I think my next tattoo is going to be a blackbird flying off of a dead tree.

Can you help me encourage Reopened mind.
by TotallyADD inas most of you know we got a very angry letter from our oldest son.
it hurt her very much.
i feel so bad for her because he attacked her for what i feel was very unfair.
-
MrFreeze
I don't really have many words of encouragement for you. Having met both of you, I know you are both great people. Hopefully it was just a case of your son needing to let off steam. Hopefully he'll come around.

Just when I think the amount of stupidy that the WT prints up couldn't possibly get any higher, they go and shovel another turd onto the pile.

How Do The Witnesses Treat You?
by minimus inare they warm?.
do they view you as an apostate?.
(generally, most witnesses are quite nice to me)..

MrFreeze
A few are okay to me. The rest just ignore me. I think the only reason they never disfellowshipped me is because they thought I left because I did something bad and just wouldn't admit it. Their thinking is "there's no way he left because of teachings." Since they can't prove that I actually did anything bad, they just let me go.

Do You Ever Feel Like You're At A Kingdom Hall Sometimes In This Place?
by minimus inthat question is not necessarily a negative one.
there are so many different types of people here and you have your ex elders and former zealots and weaker personalities and everything in between.. sometimes, not all the time, it's hard to see the behavioral difference between a former jw and a current one..

The fact that it is an open discussion where we can posts all kinds of topics and our opinions, is the major difference. Sure, people will hate on your opinion. People will dog your topics. However, you'll still be allowed to have an opinion.
