  Who really is the FDS?!?!?!?!?

  hey all, hope you're having a great year so far.. before witnet was closed down, there was an interesting discussion regarding the fds and their failed prophecies.

  i asked a question, but unfortunately there wasn't enought time to get everyone's view.. so i'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.. if we are so quick to say that the fds is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of jonah?.

  a faithful prophet, jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of nineveh.

  Claudia,

  That wasn't the question. Whether or not we think Jehovah has changed his mind doesn't alter the fact that in the past he has, in fact, changed his mind.

  The question was, are there many who are disappointed by what they perceive to the 'failed prophecy' but which we may find out in time it was in fact a mind change on the part of Jehovah.

  I asked if anyone else had examples of this so called 'false prophet syndrome' (my words).

  Note, not the same as Dathan and Abirim who declared that Moses was dead and set about a tragic set of events.

  I'm referring the fact that Jehovah AND Jesus have complete liberty to change their plans without informing his human servants.

  Ha Ha Carmel that's funny, but I'm serious. I'm wondering how many of us feel like the FDS let us down because we were expecting the end of wickedness, aka, armageddon and it hasn't come.

  GUYS! I know just what you mean, looking at all those gorgeous women in skimpy outfits!

  I can SOOOO relate, especially watching that crappy wrestling just for a glimpse of THE ROCK. I...I...I...I feel overcome....

  And when I watch NFL on FOX, in ain't really for the game. It's for that babe HOWIE LONG, whose first name sucks but OMG that last name........And just watching all those built men bend over...and assume the position.

  And when watching the Summer Olympics track and field men...oooohhhhh boy they sure set those records, huh girls?

  And when Russell Crowe gladiates....well let's just say he could tie me up and take me prisoner any day.

  There now, guys, we're even. ;)

  Hey all, Hope you're having a great year so far.

  So I'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.

  If we are so quick to say that the FDS is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of Jonah?
  A faithful prophet, Jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) Jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of Nineveh. Then Jehovah changed his mind and decided not to destroy the city. Jonah was left looking like, well, a jackass. But he followed Jehovah's instructions, and prophesied what turned out to be a falsehood. How did the citizens of Nineveh feel about Jonah? Maybe like some of us feel about the FDS?

  What does this example mean, if anything, in relation to the FDS? How much of what they have 'changed their minds' is REALLY Jehovah changing his mind, and not telling anyone?!?!?!

  Does anyone have any other examples of Jehovah changing his mind without informing his faithful servants? =:O

  hello everyone, especially from witnet.

  as long as i have been on the net, i hadn't used it for anything remotely related to jw until earlier this year.. i was looking into bb software for our company's site, and on the infopop site i saw a link for witnet!

  since witnet closed, i have seen so much online, it's been a little overwhelming, lol.. i really enjoyed my time there, and i'll stop in here from time to time, if you can handle it.

  those of you familar with witnesses.net may have seen me around the site, i've been posting there since early last year, and recently i was a moderator for a short time, before its sudden closure.. i was raised in the truth, daughter of a one-time elder and am a third generation jw.

  i have seen a lot of changes in the society, some for the better, many for the worse.. i am now inactive, have not been to a meeting since the memorial earlier this year and not been in active witnessing since january 99.. so i am more out than in, though i have a few family members that are still witnesses, so i try not to put myself in the situation where i could be df'd.

  (easy, avoid the elders!

  roy, .

  your absolution if you have any coming will be from god and not from humans.

  your confession needs to be directed toward him and not us.. -seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it-

  Guys, this isn't the Catholic church. There's no absolution.
  You have already been forgiven for your sins, by Jesus' sacrifice. We can't do anything else for you, cept offer you a shoulder to cry on.

  Roy if you want to be sure someone is interested in your problem and not just your green, do some online research and see if anyone's published on this subject.

  There may be some therapist willing to assist you over the phone, although not typical.

  AntiChrist, I hope you have complied with Caesar's law to register as a sex offender if you have been convicted.

  I'm really not interested in the drama over at H20, but I understand why some post over there.
