That was a long post. To make it short for me it is simple. Jesus said that I'm the way of life. Believing in Jesus is enough for me

2034 the new "END" date for the WTS it is a fact!!!
by justhuman inin the wt article 15 december 2003 the wt tried to set a new date for the end, by connecting the sign of the end given by jesus when he used the exampe of noah.
noah preached for 120 years and then the end came.
so simillar it will be during the last days when they started in 1914 with jesus taking the throne in heaven.

In the wt article 15 December 2003 the WT tried to set a new date for the end, by connecting the sign of the end given by Jesus when he used the exampe of Noah. Noah preached for 120 years and then the end came. So simillar it will be during the last days when they started in 1914 with Jesus taking the throne in heaven.
So they compare the preaching of Noah that lasted 120 years and the preaching that started from 1914. So in the minds of the rank and file they are creating a new date for Armageddon 2034.
We know that WT is trying to buy time and with this kind of reasoning they can make it until the next "light". Remember they done it in 1975.
In the recent C.O visit in the congregation that I used to attend (I had a special invitation for the puplic talk and I went) he repeated the same comments as mentioned in the wt article 15/12/2003.
So I believe that the GB will do exactly as they did with the generation. They started 2 years before 1995 with puplic talks in the conventions to prepare the flock for the "new light". Then they came out with the articles in wt that they make a definition of what Jesus meant generation.
So the GB gratuately drop the past teachings regarding the generation that will never die and will see the end, by quoting Jesus "sign of the end" by comparing the preaching of Noah that lasted 120 years with the preaching that JW's are doing in our days that started from 1914.
GB has done it again...they buy another 30 years until 2034 and God knows what it will happen 30 years from know

Did you read the book "1984" of Georges Orwell?
by Nicolas inthis book is one of the best book i've ever read.
it describe well the technics that the watchtower use to manipulate their jehovah's witness.

A MUST read for those who are exiting mind control cults like JW's, Mormons etc. It was my first book that I started to read when I was in the process of getting out the Borg.
It discribes the technics that Big Brother - the leaders of the party have been using upon the masses. And I was suprised to see that the GB was doing the same.
My favorite line from this novel that fits exactly to the WT is:
Everything faded into mist...the past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth...

Are JWs seeing signs of the end now?
by jws ini was talking with my dad last night and during our call, he started talking about all the storms to hit florida, the earthquake in california (that didn't damage anything), and mt.
saint helens on the verge of erupting.. he didn't come right out and say it, but i got the feeling he was trying to slip in some kind of warning.
the old 'sign of the end' type of stuff.

Jw's are seing the end of the world and the signs since 1871.
They are thrilled to hear about wars(in our days usually made in U.S.A) and people dying from them. Children dying from hunger and with their dying eyes asking for little food ( the remains of our dinner it will be enough for them )
They are thrilled to hear about people dying from earthquakes and harricanes, in terrorist attacks, people dying from aids ( specially in the poor african countries )people dying from heart disease ( because we eat a lot of meat and junk food sitting in our sofa and watching tv all this bad things in front of our eyes without really giving a shit. And all we care is what kind of dress did Cameron Diaz appeared at the Oscar awards, or who is the new boyfriend of Jennifer Loppez )
Hundred years from now still the WT will see signs of the end.

Hard to get over: No New System
by confusedjw ini have to tell you something.. i really find it hard getting over the idea of no new system and all that it meant to me.
to be with my children and their children forever in perfect health.. too many days it just leaves me empty.
i just wish i could shake it and enjoy life, but the idea that we just live for 70 years and die kills me.
-
justhuman
Well the New System was existing only in the mind of the WT, so it was never real. Because the lie it was told too many times we believe it.
There is life after death, and nothing dies. We come and we go, and the journey it was always like that. I consider my staying here on earth as an opportunity to clean my soul and set things right as I will continue to the journey to find God

How Many People Are Less Stressed Since Leaving The Witnesses?
by minimus indo you feel better----emotionally and mentally since stopping meetings and living under the rules of the witnesses?
i've heard reports of better physical and mental health since persons have left the organization.

For sure I'm feeling less stress. I don't have any guilt that I didn't make the reasonable hours at the end of the month, no fear that God will destroy me because I didn't help anyone to come to the truth, or that I don't do enough to please the Old Men in Brooklyn.
Plus I can listen to any kind of music without giving a sh..t what the 'brothers' will say, going to the football game of the Blues, and waving the flag of my country, celebrating when we win, and be proud for what I'm, knowing that I'm carrying a history of 5000 years, and when we were writting history, arts, philosophy, culture, science, created the Olympic Games, DEMOCRACY with the true meaning the ancestors of the FDS were hanging over the trees!!!
And the most important is that the new testament was written in Hellenic language the most reach language in the world, and I don't need any psychopathetic leaders of an american cult to explain to me what the words of Jesus...

The Watchtower is degenerating
by truthseeker in2004 - theme "keep on the watch".
low hours, fake hours.
brothers are "all stressed out.

justhuman
That is a real nice post!!!
Indeed the WT is degenerating. They have become a club. A club that to maintain your membership you have to follow their rules thats all.
My personal expierience shows that as time goes by more and more JW's suffer from deepression (specially the old ones and those who where sacrificed from their parents in the altar of the generation)
I have seen many JW's suffering from drinking problems. Some of them suffer from panic attacks, personality disorders, some are violent and have unhappy family lifes. This observations are based upon my personal experience in the WT world.
Time is running out for the WT. Unfortunately the leaders of this cult still have the same attitude and policy despite of their failure!!!!

Are Jehovah?s witnesses and football fans the same?
by sleepy inare jehovah?s witnesses and football fans the same?
this does have something to do with jw?s just bear with me.
something that has always perplexed me are football fans and their loyalty to a particular club.
-
justhuman
No they are not Englishman.
Football it is much more interesting from JW's meetings
Football is the most exiting game in the universe
The final between Portugal and Hellas was broadcasted over to 2 billion people in the world(do you recall such number to listen to a puplic talk?)
There was a great celebration all over my country when the Hellenic boys lift the European Cup. All of us(and I mean ALL the Greeks all over the world from U.S to Australia 22 millions) we were out drinking and celebrating until the early morning hours, waving our flag, singing and dancing the Greek Zorpa.
So there is no event in WT world that can push millions to act like that!!!
So I'm glad that I got out from them and I was lucky to celebrate along with all the Greeks the way that we ONLY know how to celebrate.

The Roots of Pastor Russell's Teachings
by Kenneson inhow unique were russell's original teachings?
were they based solely on the bible?
or did he receive influence from several other sources?
-
justhuman
Also Russell adopted many occult teachings, like Pyramidology, numerology, known as New Age.
He used masonic symbols and ideas. So actually Russell made a mixure of religion combining all this
