Another generation....

by joey jojo in

it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

Lol!!! Peter was addressing the naysayers making fun of real Christians being able to speak in the languages of the many visitors after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentacost. It was for right then and right there where it was being fulfilled.

The last days he was talking about were those of his time.

As of yet, no JW/GB has prophesied anything correct, ever. Ever!

So how many people on earth had never heard of Jesus Christ by the 1800s??? Get real, the "preaching work" and the Good News of Christ was known worldwide for Centuries before the US existed. Russell and everyone else was waiting for the "rapture". They already knew who Jesus Christ was and what he offers.

nonjw married to a jw, video by Critical Thinker - excellent!

by nonjwspouse in

i just came across this today.

it is a recent addition to the channel.

it accurately describes the troubles of a non-aware, non-jw marrying a disfellowshipped jw who then turns around and feels the need to become reinstated.

All of their videos are good.

Weird Wording - The Authority of the Watch Tower Society

by berrygerry in

so, while pulling up old articles on the baptism post, and the necessity of this step, i see this strange sentence:.

neither the watch tower society nor any human today can lessen the force of that indication of god’s will.

(wt jan 15, 1971, page 64).. so, are there then other scriptural areas that the watch tower society can lessen god's will?.

Lieu

That's written before the changed the dunking statement from "Holy Spirit" to "God's spirit directed organization".

(Never mind what God's stated will was on the matter.)

Watch the use of "indication"; it's slick.

Did The Witnesses Predict the United Nations in Advance?

by TD in

jw
friends

it's been reported on this forum that bethel speakers at this summer's conventions are asserting that the establishment of the united nations in 1945 was predicted in advance by the witnesses.

this is being presented as validation of the claim that the witnesses are god's one true organization directed by holy spirit.. .

the basis for this claim originates with a public address entitled, peace - can it last given by n.h. knorr at the new world theocratic assembly, on september 20 of 1942. .

"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

by Poztate in

in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

Lieu

If I knew the authorities were coming to the bunker to get me, I wouldn't be there.

You wear tight pants and you will be in trouble

i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

Lieu

Oh my! Uber fashion police. Here come more man made rules.

So some guy is apparently sending messages to Morris about maybe getting at his junk and everyone is supposed to be bothered with it? Why is he looking at guys pants anyway?

Why the heck do GB members think anyone cares about their personal likes and dislikes??!!!???? Guy whines like David's wife.

I have likes and dislikes of my own, I can't be bothered with yours.

here are the morning program highlights.

will update for the afternoon once it's all over.

Well, it warms my heart that family members will find solace in a JW hideout where they can toot their own horns before the authorities show up to arrest them for littering due to leaving carts unattended on public streets in a time of mayhem.
