Trump will get re-elected. All three branches of the government will swing Republican. So much for the bat shit left segment unifying the Democratic party.

147th Gilead prt. 3 - this could stumble people
by neat blue dog induring gerrit loesch's talk just released, he goes on a long list of the false end times predictions throughout the millennia.
i didn't expect it, but then he goes into the precursors to the bible students who, when their dates failed, changed christ's presence to have happened 'invisibly'.
then it goes right into the jws, and he reads the quote from millions now living will never die about how we can 'confidently expect' the resurrection in 1925, and then the life everlasting book that predicted 1975. of course, he doesn't say how it's still going on, namely with the overlapping generation and its' accompanying convoluted chart, but still, this is more than they've ever said on the subject, especially recently.. it almost sounds like a forced statement, to address any backlash from people reading 'apostate lies' online, because he also says how the gb 'humbly' admitted mistakes, referencing the non-apology after 1975 that disturbed raymond franz.

Humbly admitted their opinions were wrong. Must be opinions as the word of God in infallible. So opinions are like assholes; everyone's got one. It's just that most opinions don't destroy the lives of millions.

Rec'd a letter from my Dad - need some advice...
by Fadeaway3pointer infader here - last meeting was in autumn 2005. lurker on this site and others.
not one to get all controversial.. typical situation, pretty much a born in and left the church at age 38 and never looked back.. i'm 53 now, parents getting older - late 70s but very active, dad is still an elder.. parents, in laws, brother and brother-in-law still uber active jws.. my family (wife and 2 adult children) out since 2005.. we have stayed close to our parents - we have treaded religion lightly and have had a pretty good relationship and have kept our personal lives and beliefs/opinions separated from them.
this was intentional - as we love them and do not want anything to cause shunning since they are getting older and want to be there for them and we respect their beliefs.. got this letter today.

You will not win in this situation. Say nothing. Have no contact. I know it's hard. I disinherited my oldest after she felt the need to shun me. It's been 12 years & I have my own family to attend to. Blood only makes relatives; not families. Move on.

Stupid armageddon false alarms
by purrpurr inwhen i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.

I said it before. A sure sign the end is near is the Buffalo Bills winning the superbowl. They are now in the playoffs...

Cart Witnessing....They deserve the same ''cold shoulder''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhere is a man named jerry.
on a public sidewalk, he asks attendees leaving a jehovah's witness convention in san diego a simple question, ''do jehovah's witnesses have the truth.
not one person acknowledges him.

I enjoy cart witnesses. They're stuck there. So when I approach & engage in conversation, they're not going anywhere. Great time to torture them with questions about "generation, pedophile cases, dwindling congregations & attendance, etc." I never tell them I'm an ex-elder, just a well read worldly person.

Have Your Relationships Been Affected Because You Were A Jehovah’s Witness?

I've been out 12 yrs. Oldest daughter still in. I'm the only living grandparent left. It, of course, made no difference. Haven't seen her or my grandchildren in 12 yrs. Changed my will & cut her out entirely. Instructed my youngest daughter to not allow her at my funeral nor to allow her access to my home or any personal belongings. Be happy to allow her back in my life when she can give me my grandkids' childhood back to me....

Ray Franz
by pbrow ini know ray and his wife have passed but i wanted to take a few minutes and put my thanks in writing.
it is pretty incredible to me that someone who i never met, played such a major role in my outlook on life and more importantly in my (at the time) young daughters lives.
from the very first pages of "crisis of conscience" it seemed as though ray was writing to me.

Hollywood and the News Media Meltdowns
by minimus ini think it’s pretty comical to see these groups flip out every time they don’t get their way.
ii’m sure psychiatrists are making tons of money “treating “ these people for hysteria.🥴.

I think most people are fed up with listening to the media & Hollywood. I routinely now skip over CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post & the NY Times. The days of an unbiased news source are gone. Walter Cronkite, where are you?

Is there a new Date by the Watchtower for the End of System?
by William Penwell innot sure if this topic has being covered recently.. my son asked me a question if the jw's have in the recent months being pushing a new end date to the system?
he was telling me about how his mother has being on him again about the urgency of the end of this system of things and he needs to do something asap.
i told him i am not aware of any new dates as i have being away from the cult for over 20 years.

I guess every JW has forgotten what the author of the "This generation" prophesy thought a "generation" was. In it's first fulfillment, Jesus was warning the early Christians. That warning was given in 33 AD. Jerusalem fell in 70 AD. Thirty-seven years. Long enough for those that heard the warning to benefit from it. I guess the Borg thinks we're going to live to be 150-160 years old.
