today's issue of time magazine bears the front cover headline "the last days of the taliban".. the urgency of these "last days" is re-inforced in the magazine's articles by the use of words such as "final reckoning", "last sanctuary", "rule unraveled for good", "endgame".. words and phrases such as these may seem familiar to regular readers of the watchtower magazine which regularly describes the present time as being the "last days" of this "system of things".. interestingly time describes the "last days of the taliban" as occurring just two months after the commencement of the "time of the end" for the taliban.. i wonder how many witnesses will give this some thought as they consider the watchtower's latest declaration of urgency for the last days of this system of things.
at what stage will these "last days" cease to be the last days?
can they last 100 years?
I was of the impression that most Christians, apart from looney Jobots, felt that the prophecy of the last days was about the fall of Jerusalem under the Romans. Whether a secondary fulfilment is expected or not depends on denomination...........or so I'm under the impression of.
The 'Last days' seems to be interpreted differently between and even within the different sects of Christianity.
Whatever the reality, the Watchtower(tm) will definitely be totally wrong!
By Nov 7th, everyone will be totally underwhelmed.
All things Jobot are irrevocably boring.
according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.
since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.
what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.
Is Bible chronology true?
whether you believe or not...........I don't know how it can possibly be calculated. No, honestly, I really don't.
im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.
while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.
lol.
Some still believe and some don't. There is no real rule of thumb as far as I've ever seen.
from what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

vid - As a loyal practicing JW
JW? Not on your nelly, mate. Not a J anything. FM whom so 'ere they be is/are simply on here to have a laugh. That's why I find FM really amusing.
Heed the words of the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them)......................
July 15, 2011 WT ‘’Well, apostates are 'mentally diseased', and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings." ‘’7 What is involved in avoiding false teachers? We do not receive them into our homes or greet them.
We also refuse to read their literature, watch TV programs that feature them, examine their Web sites, or add
our comments to their blogs.’’
I've forgotten a lot of them. I only recall a few that I found odious company men.
I didn't get on with Richard Cullen, Ray Shah or some bloke that came after Shah......thinking of his name......................................................
Ah, was it Charldon Johnson? Nah, didn't like him.
I saw how they were at Elders Meetings(tm) and how smarmy they were with the R&F(tm). Drinking up adulation.
It'd be hilarious if any of them were on here.
There were some that I did like.......but their names aren't emblazoned on my mind...mainly because I have blanked a lot of Jobot stuff out of my mind. Why should I remember that level of abuse?

Ironically, none of these KH's are used by Jobots anymore because they are now either Islamic centres or African Pentecostal churches.
What horrid memories have been stirred. You know, a lot of the people in those congregations were total loonies and/or narcissists!
dear leamington spa and warwick elders.
i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.
you have finally confirmed to me how ignorant you are as an elder body.. you should all be ashamed of yourselves as elders.. .
No i am not part of any Christiaan group. Like Ray Franz I can never go there again.
This is how the brainwashing of the filthy, disgusting JW cult works.
If they can't have your money, no one else will.

Beth's Serum - they quit while they're still ahead
I don't know why they're here. I suspect trolling is a lot of it. I doubt there are real Jobots on here because the GB(tm)(PBUT), forbid it.....or God will lovingly murder them......SOON(tm).
There is much amusement in some of their comments.
