Earthquake in N.Z.
by smiddy in

i guess the witnesses are rejoicing over the death and destruction of the latest earthquake in n.z.as proof of the imminent coming of armageddon,and their deliverance into the "new world system of things" i can just see it now ,the kh`s in nz will be filled to overflowing in the next month,......then in six months later it will be back to the status quo.. p.s when jesus said their would be" earthquakes in one place after another" couldn`t he have identified these areas for the faithfull ?

so at least beleivers would have been spared the trauma ?

of course non beleivers would have suffered the consequences,but why should beleivers suffer also ?.

How many here have never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

how many here have never been one of jehovah's witnesses?

there seems to be a common denominator of former witnesses who accuse the watchtower society of being a false organization.

what they crave is acknowledgment that their way is the best way.

Smurf Rumors - 2 Questions
by A question in
1. jw
2. friends
as the board no doubt knows, there was some sort of rumor in the early 1980s going around amongst the witnesses that a smurf doll came to life in the kingdom hall, or that smurfs were demonic.. 2 questions:.

1. do any not remember any such rumors though they were witnesses at the time?.

2. of those who do, did all the witnesses believe them, or otherwise, what proportion rejected the rumor as nonsense?.

i sat in on the "know your options" reading tonight, and the elder said a couple things i was wondering about:.

1. he said if a doctor says you have a high risk of dying if you refuse a blood transfusion, he is misleading you.

he said people "rarely" die from refusing a blood transfusion.

Since the numbers of those partaking are increasing......

........and not decreasing, and 1935 hasn't shut up the heavenly hope..... then maybe folks are hearing the invitation at john 6:35-59....... "i am the bread of life!

he that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood (communion) has everlasting life, and a resurrection.

unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.
