The Great Tribulation Is about To Strike ?
by Hairyhegoat inthis is a quote from the district assembely this year... at the latest district assembly, they announced that all prophecies pertaining to the last days have been fulfilled.
the bottom line, is we're at the brink of armageddon, which makes perfect sense considering world commerce (social structure) is collapsing on itself.
the worldwide debt crisis is evidence of a social and economic system plummeting into despair resulting in civilians rioting in the streets.

I bet they announced who the King of the North is/was, then? I'm sure we would've heard about that one by now..

@MS : the court was confused as well, over the proper name of the Watchtower. I think it's on the first page or two of the judgement (that ohio pdf) in a footnote, where they basically chose one of the two names lol..

73 year old woman sues estranged children for "parental support"
by Scully ini just finished reading this article... http://ca.news.yahoo.com/kids-were-no-angels-mom-whos-suing-parental-141531701.html.
the lady is 73 years old and is "estranged" from her 4 living children and 10 grandchildren.. i can see the wts glomming on to legal cases like this for its older members who have had to shun their dfd children, and then when the kids want nothing to do with the parents when they fall ill [and the wts tells them to ask those dfd adult children for financial support] they've found a way to punish the dfd kids even further by getting court orders to pay for parental support.
in fact, i've highlighted some parts of the article that have a distinct jw "aroma" to them.. .

For *all* of the children (and even the grandchildren) to have basically disowned her sounds pretty interesting.. and yes there are 2 sides to every story, but the one side of this story is likely pretty small LOL. It's not just one or two kids that are feeling vindicative or justified in their choice, but all of them, and that tells me there is quite a bit of truth to their upbringing.

I passed the typing test, so it definitely is possible. I probably was going at 110-120 WPM with zero error rate, which is a pretty high standard.. but I finished the month @ about $275 left..

by metatron inyou gotta admire the skill manifest in the watchtower's deception skills.
don't kid yourself, even the gestapo, in internal documents found after the war, found the magazines to be well crafted in the field of propaganda.. the latest deceptions?
well, there's the nov. awake magazine with its cover asking, "is belief in a creator reasonable".

Not a complete unsurprising observation from your counsellor, but it's always good to have it acknowledged from an outside reference point.

The New Testament in Plain English and John 1:1
by Wonderment in.
the new testament in plain english (published, 2003) translates john 1:1c as: "the word was god.
" however, a footnote on this verse says: "or, deity, divine (which is actually a better translation, because the greek definite article is not present before this greek word).
