  Has the feared and much anticipated,'Jehovah Witness Great Tribulation', now started in earnest during this year of 2013?

  by Sol Reform in

  the watchtower states that the great tribulation.... will start when the united nations attacks babylon the great.

  it appears individual states of the usa are starting to get that ball rolling right now.. .

  with the world wide child sexual abuse cover-ups across the globe getting special attention from the media.. legislators across the usa seem to have lost the fear of getting the nod of disapproval of 'clergy', especially from the younger members.. law professor marci a. hamilton writes, "across the country, the movement for justice for child-sex-abuse victims is finding that conversations that used to begin with a discussion of the catholic bishops' opposition (and then often ended abruptly) are now started by a member's saying, "they don't deserve deference on this issue.

  i was just thinking today.

  i heard the term been frazed as a "neutral witness".

  i think that's what best describes me.

  There is no doubt that the JW organization is LOADED with true, sincere Christians who unquestionably have God's favor, even if they never awaken and make an exit from the cult.

  “Get out of her, my people..." There is recognition there. He sees his people inside all of religion. It's not going to stop him from destroying it, hence the warning to those he recognizes as his own.

  Jomavrick: How many households that are getting welfare in this country have computers, internet, cell phones cable tv,,,,,

  In the U.S., 20" chrome wheels and a 65" HD 3D Plasma TV is a constitutionally guaranteed right.

  I tried the cross dressing thing exactly one time.

  Actually, my then roommate and I had a young drag queen (kicked out of his home) satying with us for a few weeks and he did my face up and put a wig on me. It was a frightening image in the mirror that evening, standing there in my underwear and a wig... and a decision that this "abomination" will never happen again.

  Homosexuality is an abomination!

  by Fernando in

  2. bible

  moralism,.

  which as ray franz said about legalism, also seems to lead to a "morass of inconsistencies".. ray seemingly even went as far as describing "legalism" (or by extension moralism) as apostasy or "a denial of christian faith" (g79 6/8 pp.

  an amusing look at the levitical law.. (from bible house of grace).

  People living in glass houses should question the wisdom of throwing stones at anyone.

  And also, taking baths.

  ... and should get dressed in the basement.

  Because we could all use a little more stress in life: Double up your effots to get out of there, sis. Employers like that have no regard whatsoever for you or your needs. Even with laws in place to protect workers from that kind of employer irresponsibility and abuse, the worker is often left on her own. You can't fix people like that so just try to get out of there.

  Sorry you're having to deal with this.

  “But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves...

  I wonder if the GB thinks the reason for the delay in the arrival of the GT is because the preaching work has not been completed to God's satisfaction. Could this be why they keep cracking the whip on the rank and file to do more, more, MORE!?

  A Couple of thoughts on July WT

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i actually got a bucket close by and read some of the study ed.

  july 13 w.t my first reaction was amazement at how very muddled the whole thing was, i think if i had all those months to write articles since the noo lite was presented at the agm i could make a much better job of arguing the new ideas, and our very own sd7 could do even better !.

  for instance, it is claimed in the chart, and the 2nd article i think, that the harvest began in 1914, by whom ?.

  You know, when this article was leaked early to Cedars a few weeks back, I had the thought that maybe WT HQ did it on purpose, knowing the good folks at JWN would dissect it and expose it's flaws. In that way, WT would have time to do some rewriting to fix the problems before publishing. Turns out that wasn't the case.

  The only explanation I can think of for that July 15 drivel is... PRIDE! They don't have to try and they know it.
