Oh my God -5 years in an apostate side and your are still a JW scholar??? You are one of kind...Watchtower's brainwashing it really works perfectly on you...give us your full adress and I we will be happy to send it to Brooklyn(you better hurry before they move and the letter will not reach the GB because they are selling it and they will make millions) For sure you got your self a CO's possition...
Indeed brainwashing worked so fine on you, and I will remind you some of the "past lights" of your "Mother" the WT. But again you will forget them as soon as you finish reading this post...
Was it 1914 that Russell claimed that the end would come? The WT "forgets" to tell us that the dates were based on counting the Pyramids!!!This is called OCCULT?Then it was again in 1916, and again in 1918....
Was it Rutherford that claimed that millions living will never die in 1925, and he got himself a nice villa in California waiting for the Prophets to resurrected? He waited until 1942 when he claimed that the big A was coming, but he died. Then it was 1975...DID YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO BE AROUND AT THAT ERA scholar??? I was 8 at that time and I do recall all the anxiety for the end...THE END DIDN'T COME...WHO CREATE THIS FEELING TO THE JW'S? Wasn't it the FDS??? Then it was the 80's??? I do recall very well because I was a teenager finishing school...WT told us we don't need to finish school but we should become pioneers because the "generation"will not pass away...mmm well many like me stayed UNEDUCATED(not like your self) because the end was just around the corner!!! Do you recall 1995 the "new light" regarding generation??? I do recall it VERY WELL I was a ministerial servant at that time and the CO's gathered all the elders and MS to tell us that we should explain to our families the new light...this was our duty...and that the end is closer now!!! 13 years passed ever since and the Holy Spirit change it's mind...again...
Do you realize that the GB is sinning against the Holy Spirit?? How can they blame all of their wrong expectations and explanations to the Holy Spirit? Was it Jesus that said to Luke 21:8 "many will come in my name and will say that the END is near...DO NOT FOLLOW THEM"
Ever since the early days of the WT from 1874 they are claiming the end is near!!! WHY DO YOU FOLLOW THEM?
Many people from this forum they have their lifes destroyed due to the WT policy...many lost friends and family like me,and in my late 30's I'm trying to start a new life way from the WT madness...I have followed WT because I believed in them...The result is I have NOTHING...No friends, NO FAMILY, my 2 small children are growing with my ex-JW wife, and I have NO right to talk to them. With no money and a job that does not give me enough money because I have stayed without education, working 14 hours a day fighting for my daily bread. If I did have money and a place to stay I would have taken my blind-brain washed wife, to court and take the custody for my children...but WT knows very well how to destroyed lifes and innocent people...
By the way since you claim to be scholar who gave you the Bible that you have? Who set the Biblical Cannon?
Does any were in the Bible tell us the only the Bible is the basis for the Christian faith?
Does the Bible claims not to have mistakes?
