What he means is that October 21 is the final day before the 1st day of the "last days" begins. These last days will have a final day immediately followed by a period of 7 years which will have a final day followed by the beginning 2,520 day period... wait, let me see if I got that right... doesn't matter... Proverbs 4:18 clears up everything... I'll just wait on Jehovah

by wannabefree inperhaps this has already been addressed, i looked ... i thought you might want to know, not much time left ..... harold camping .... some time after being released from a nursing home in june after suffering a stroke, camping, released an audio message on family radio's website saying, "we would have not been able to be used [by god] to bring about the tremendous event that occurred on may 21 of this year, which probably [will] be finished out on oct. 21 that's coming very shortly.
that looks like it will be ... the final end of everything.".

WT's Airplane Damaged -Again- Visiting Another Fishing Lodge
by Gerard inthe watchtower's luxurious aircraft was damaged the first time in 1995:
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?ev_id=20001207x03587&ntsbno=anc95la077&akey=1
"on june 12, 1995, at 1530 alaska daylight time, a wheel equipped cessna 402b airplane, n710ws, registered to and operated by the watchtower bible organization and tract society, collapsed its nose gear while taxiing back after landing.

That airplane has probably never been to a non-exotic location since it was under the Watchtower's ownership.
I knew a brother who owned a Cessna 172 and all the elders from nearby congregations knew it. So they would constantly try to get the Spanish congo at a nearby island (in the Caribbean) to invite them for the Sunday Public Talk just so they can get a ride on this plane and enjoy the island... The brother who owned the airplane was rarely given any money for gas or maintenance because the elders who hitched rides with him were usually poor...

"JehovahsWitnesses do not try to predict when God will destroy the wicked."
by stillstuckcruz insorry i pressed enter on the last topic by mistake.
anyway, in the new december 1st, public edition of the wt, in an article titled "will the earth survive 2012?
" an actual paragraph says this:.

I think this means they will no longer play with matches because they've been burnt way too many times... besides, the internet has kept them at bay... all they can do now is say we're closer today than we were yesterday... and even that will get old in a few years...

Nov.15th WT - WT Society Wants & Needs Elders- Not very High Standards
by flipper inas many of us realize- times are hard for the wt society getting men to " reach out " for an elders or ministerial servants position as young men aged ( 18-35 ) are opting out of doing that due to the pressure they are under from the wt society leaders and just that it takes up too much valuable time where men could be earning a living and helping their own families instead of a thankless magazine printing corporation.
in the article " train others to reach out " in this issue it has lots of strange, controlling, yet perplexing statements which i'm sure will confuse jw men who are considering " reaching out ".
in fact, i think this article will discourage more than encourage them from doing so.. on pg.

That couple on that WT magazine cover shouldn't be making that kind of bodily contact during field service, it might make a brother stumble...

I am officially 'mentally diseased' by WBT$ standards!
by punkofnice inlast night whilst i was relaxing 2 elders came to my door to tell me i am officially da'd because of my 'actions'.
they weren't specific but i have been to church and telling others about the wbt$ scandals.. i was told they thought i was rude for ignoring their letters and not attending my jc.. my reply: 'you were the rude ones for sending me hounding letters when i specifically asked you never to contact me!'.
i got a 'hurumph' from the lead eldub.. i don't remember the whole conversation but they were annoyed i kept referring to the wbt$ as 'just a big business' but i told them they were on my property uninvited so they'd have to listen to my opinion and i don't have to listen to theirs.

thanks for sharing that punkster... that was classic... well done... question: what were they pretending to accuse of had you attended your jc? (please excuse the lower-case letters... can't use capital letters on my blackberry)

Would you name your dog, Jehovah?
by african GB Member in...or are you still terrified by the mere mention of that name?.
perhaps still doubting whether he exists or not?.

during casual conversation at a social gethering, an elder mentioned to me that no one on earth could ever name their child jehovah because the holy spirit would prevent that from happening... i asked him what biblical proof he had to make such a statement... he got upset and replied: "you think i'm making this up?... try to find someone on the internet named jehovah"... at that point i just walked away and left him ranting... the alcohol on his breath was just too much for me to handle...

What defines a "pedophile" in the organization
by N.drew inaccused?
found quilty?
(and by whom), suspected?
-
Alfred
Thanks Blondie for another great find...
I think Nancy Drew is realing asking who is considered a pedophile in the WT (not necessarily what constitutes grounds for disfellowshipping)... I believe there could be a difference... for example, the two guys you mention are allegedly repentant pedophiles (versus disfellowshipped pedophiles)... the only difference is the disfellowshipped pedophiles didn't shed tears during their JC while the repentant pedophiles DID shed tears during their JC... but for the WT's legal purposes, I believe they're both still considered pedophiles (repentant or not)... just saying

A JW is never considered a pedophile unless there are two witnesses that personally witnessed the JW commiting pedophilia OR the authorities find this JW guilty in a court of law...
otherwise, he's free to come and go as he pleases and even have privileges (including being an elder)... oh, and they might mention something to him about staying away from children in the congo and forget about it 5 minutes later....
