Earthquakes in one place after another
by irondork ini was thinking about mathew 24:7 - "earthquakes in one place after another" and luke 21:11 - "there will be great earthquakes".
growing up in the 80's, i could have sworn the retoric coming from the wts was that there would be an increase in the number of earthquakes as the end drew near.
yet these two scriptures say nothing about an increases in numbers.

Sisters told they strictly can't wear slacks to Meetings to keep them submissive! Why?
by Witness 007 inyes slacks and pants on women are evil.....the first step to wanting to be elders or even worse lesbians!
so the watchtower in it's wisdom put a strict bad on women wearing pants at meetings, even in siberia or alaska where it is freezing cold....i qoute the governing body who said: "we need to show these sisters who wears the pants in our congregations...literally.".
in the 70's when it was all the rage, my mum tried wearing slacks to the hall....."go and get changed" said the sister who studied with her.

matthew 19:29 says,

I asked this question once and the answer was it ment the ones who dont stay with the witnesses,
they are the ones who are left, to follow jesus, but i take it as like when you leave false religion like the jws,as they ignore you and so your leaving them for the right path and not the false one.
what im trying to say is like when i left catholic church they still were my freinds and my family were still talking to me, but when i left jws that was it cut off.
what does it meanin matt 19: 29,does it mean actualy leaving your family or does it mean leaving what they beleive to follow what you beleive,so your family casts you out othere life, or your casting them out of yourswhat does it realy mean.

are jehovahs wittneses a prophet of God.
Are the govening body a prophet of the true and living,
God? There are two ways to find out. First, compare
what they say to Scripture and if what the Prophet teaches contradict Scripture,
then he is false. The second way is to examine any prophecies that they have made.
If a single prophecy fails, then the person is a false prophet.
Please note that having several fulfilled prophecies and even a single false
prophecy still means that the person is not a true prophet of God. The test for
a prophet is not if he gets them most right, but all right. The Bible tells
us...
But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I
have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other
gods, that prophet shall die.And you may say in your heart,
How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?
When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not
come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not
spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be
afraid of him
We can see that the criteria of a true prophet is not failing when predicting
the future. This is because God, who is outside of time and the creator of the
universe, makes no mistakes when he tells us what will happen. Those prophets
whom he has called will not make a mistake and prophesy the future, since to do
so would mean the person is not speaking on God's behalf. Therefore, if anyone
claims to be a prophet of God and speaks in the name of God and gives a prophecy
that fails, then the person is not of God. they have predicted many times of dates of when the world would end.
they never came about.i asked a brother once why if they say it was the end and it didnt happen why should i beleive anything they say,he said becouse no one is perfect and somtimes people didnt get it right and that they dont predict the date of the end anymore.
this was in a study i had.
anyways what im trying to say is just becouse they say they got it wrong dosnt mean they are forgiven and they are now right.if they got it wrong in first place they are wrong and were never from god and still are not now.
