Hello Blondie;

What is your belief on man's future? Do you believe any of the WT's predictions for the future?

Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

by Alfred in

so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

Thanks Alfred for the synopsis. I had my father-in-laws personal copy & for years I was telling those in the congregation that this stuff was absolutely wild. Those that didn't nod & walk away would always quote that "light gets brighter & brighter" mantra. All this from someone gifted with the "Holy Spirit". You've got to wonder where it went during Russell's or Rutherford's or the current GB forays into fantasyland.

Accidentally Leaving a Flash Drive in the KH Parking Lot

by RayPublisher in

i've been playing around with this strategy for awhile.

how could i crack the defenses and get a jw to read crisis of conscience, captive to a concept, etc., or just some reasoning points in general on blood, 1914, the history of the wt organization?

i want to help my brothers and sisters, i am still inside for a while longer and feel like i need to do something more tangible.. so i was thinking that if a flash drive was "accidentally" left on the ground in the parking lot.

mrquik

Just have some of the cheap signs made for garage sales made up the e-mail sites they need to see & put them up Sat. night across from the parking lot. Even better, get the homeowner's permission to leave them up during the CO's visit.

The Gentile Times Reconsidered

by Spade in

disproving the date 1914 as a significant year in bible prophecy is of great importance to some (e.g.

carl o. jonsson).

along with the meticulous details of bible and secular chronology, broadening one's horizons when assessing exactly what this date represents when compared against the 6000 years of human history likewise has merit.

mrquik

The best support of 1914 not being the end of a historical time period is not in the past, it's in the future. It is the WT contention that after 1914, JC chose his congregation, Satan was confined to the earth "having great anger" and a great warning would be given. This particular generation would not pass away until all these things occurred. Evidence is abundant in print of the many & continuous lies, half truths & hypocrisy of the GB. Certainly JC would never approve this organization. Satan is supposed to have been on the earth for a century, yet civilization continues much the same. ( Maybe he needs a AARP membership). So much for great anger. Best of all, the preaching work. JC was very specific about the signs to watch for, yet the GB would have you believe he muddled the meaning of a generation. The warning would only serve those in imminent danger. Any longer and the warning has no meaning to those who would die before let alone 5 generations worth of mankind. Sorry Watchtower. Whether you believe the past, present or future, they have absolutely no evidence. Crying wolf for a century makes you untrustworthy as to when the wolf would actually show up.

Did you feel your BOE was spirit directed?

by pontoon in

when i was first appointed i did, not me myself, but the body as a whole.

good group of spiritual men.

at first a pleasure to serve with them.

mrquik

In for 50 years. Father-in -law of the anointed. Personally knew Rutherford. Al Schroeder was a family friend. I was an elder for 10 yrs. Gave district assembly parts. Numerous committee meetings. Holy Spirit? None. This organization does not have now nor ever had Jehovah's Holy Spirit. Don't believe it? Look for evidence throughout it's history. Find anything but man directing himself? You don't need Holy Spirit to be almost right. A little bit of knowlege is a dangerous thing.

If God exists.... which church does he attend?

by cyberjesus in

so we lost our religion and its time for us to decide which religion to switch, i was sincere so i wanted to do his will as i was taught.... so many here still believe in god and christianity.

so my question for you is.

what makes you think that christianity is the true religion?

mrquik

Therein lies the problem for those who leave the society. If not the JWs' then who has the true religion? After leaving, I looked. I thought I must have missed it. I finally came to the conclusion that since 1914 is not the end of anything, we most likely are still in that time period marked as the "times of the Gentiles". That period was to be marked by Jehovah's absence from the affairs of man. Anyway, thats my take on things. What do you think?

Cast Away(Tom Hanks) and resurection

by frigginconfused in

in cast away with tom hanks he gets stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash.

he is gone 4 years so his wife thinks hes dead and remarries and has a kid.. he gets rescued and comes back to find his wife is remarried.. sounds very similar to getting ressurected and finding your wife has a whole new familly.. but the ressurected will be as angels not marrying or having children.

i still dont get this.

mrquik

It was always Jehovah's purpose for the earth to be filled with humankind. Jesus in his rebuke to the Pharisees was talking of those who were to be resurrected to heaven. To instill in man the desire to procreate only to deny it in a Paradise is totally illogical & is not scriptural. You can bet on marriage & sex.

2011 Convention Theme

by dozy in

the 2011 convention theme is..................(drum roll).

.

"let god's kingdom come.

mrquik

I saw in a WT a few months ago where it was stated that " the end could come at any time". What happened to the timeline that was published ad nauseum about the rise of the UN & the destruction of "Babylon the Great"? Did that happen already? Did I miss a "new" understanding?

Daisies & a ring. I wish the first wife stuck up her hand like that. Would have saved me 34 yrs. of misery. I could have robbed a bank & a liquor store & been out of prison already... with the money & liquor.
