Geez Min; I think maybe Satan needs some help from the AARP. I think he's probably old enough to qualify. He needs help from a really pissed off segment of society, retirees. They have lots of spare time to act as minions.

ON MARCH 26,1918 SATAN WAS HURLED DOWN TO THE EART
by minimus inaccording to the your will be done book ..."there is scriptural reason to believe that by the time of the annual celebration of the lord's evening meal on march 26, 1918, satan the devil was hurled down to the earth.
"now this must have been quite the war, since we are taught that by october 1 or 2 1914, satan was waging war with michael and he was thrown to the vicinity of the earth.
that is why since 1914 we have such a short time left.....how do they get these crazy dates and how can people believe this if they really think about it?

by NoRegrets inapparently the jws are doing a new handbill campaign.
they were just at my door and offered it to me with one of their heartless and scripted presentations.
the religion has just become so dumbed down.

So SFPW the message justs adjusts? That means you have to wholeheartedly believe the end is near. As you are well aware Jehovah is a god of reason. Is it reasonable to believe a century old warning is to be taken seriously? Certainly Jehovah could not hold anyone alive today responsible for not taking you seriously. By the way, if you're having a problem adjusting to the meaning of a generation, check in with the author of the prophesy. Certainly Jesus Christ would not give an ambiguous meaning to such a critical piece of information would he? After all, their very lives would depend on their decerning the meaning of, right? Let's see; Jesus gave his warning in 33 CE. Jerusalem fell 37 years later, well within anyone's understanding of a "generation"........except, of course, by the men you follow as the true religion. You have my sympathy. (Feel free to count your time; it only makes you look even more pathetic.)

I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to reverse witness. I never reveal myself as an exwitness and have had a number of interesting conversations about 1914 as the arguments against it are easy to make & the evidence is overwhelming. Nothing I enjoy more than using that 50 yrs of field service experience against them.

Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped
by jwfacts ina thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.
i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.
i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

Hi Paul; I know how you feel. I was disfellowshipped for ending a bad marriage. At the time, I had every intention of being reinstated. Being well known and an ex-elder, one of the elders in the JC wanted to make an example of me. The other two were close friends but absolutely spineless. After two years, I got sick of the charade & found your site. After that revelation, I bought & read Ray's book. That really opened my eyes & I never looked back. I'm happily married, have family home for Thanksgiving & am so glad that one elder had an axe to grind. So if any of you know Frank M., an elder with the Palmyra, NY congregation, thank him for me. He gave me my life back & I'm ever so thankful. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Can it be delayed until 1914?
by Doug Mason inunder the heading of "can it be delayed until 1914?
" in zion's watch tower of july 15, 1894, russell advised his readers that the trouble they were experiencing was taking place exactly as he had anticipated 17 years earlier.. russell's readers were concerned that, given the troubles they were experiencing, matters could not hold out until 1914.. he comforted them with the information that 1914 was not the date for the beginning of the time of trouble, but for its end.. the full text and a scan of that page from the watch tower is available at:.

Hi Dog1; My story's pretty much the same. 50 yrs in. Elder. Parts on conventions. RBC member. Father-in-law of the anointed. He personally knew Rutherford. Had Schrouder, CO's, DO's over for dinner on regular basis. Would most likely still be in but after 34 yrs. of a loveless marriage I left to marry the love of my life. She was not a witness. Knew I would get DF'd but was working on getting back in. Because of being a high profile witness, the JC wanted to make an example of me. After 2 yrs. of trying to get back in, I got disgusted & started to examine the "Truth". After reading Ray Franz's account, I knew I was never coming back. I still believe the Witnesses got many thing right. But what they got wrong, they got tragically wrong. The beauty about this site is you are free to expres your opinions & not get kicked out. A thought from the Boreans; " Never relinguish your right to question the authority of men."
After all this, my credo has become "Live Well....Enjoy Life !"
Welcome.

Disneyland's: The Haunted Mansion. Is it for True Christians or is it full of Demonzzss and JW's should stay away?

Tried smoking a joint on the ride when we were 18. Figured it would be dark, who would see us? Had the front seat. They were shaped like clamshells so we thought no one would see us. Half way through the ride the seats turn sideways. Forgot the smoke was blowing behind us. Startled, we looked behind us only to see everyone looking forward. I guess the JW's were right.........

SFPW; You're correct. You can't fault the publishers for being allowed to carry out an absolutely fruitless endeavor. This approval would have to come from the leadership. Do you believe Jesus would have approved this waste of time during these "critical last days" ? Hardly. Then add counting this time as "service" must really add insult to injury. Ironically, as these aren't the "last days" , the "true religion" is not here and you're not it, this is just a collosal waste of time. Too bad, it seemed like such a nice day to be wasted.

by Terry inif jehovah's witnesses did not publicize the name jehovah the almighty living god, supreme being and most powerfull entity in all.

Nothing like advertising someone's name & then making him look like a jackass.
