@Phizzy - Yeah "new light" invalidates that one...and this is from the REVISED version of 2006 not the original of 1998.
@Londo - oops :)

I remember some of these statements being really "out there" to me even when I was a hard-core JW, and I had to conduct the congregation book study the last two of the three times we studied this crazy book. Anyways, here are some of the weird things I found:
• The Cedar Point Ohio District Convention held in 1921 A.D. by the Bible Students is supposedly talked about in Revelation, written almost 1,900 years earlier. The book refers to this "historic" convention EIGHT times, and claims it was the trumpet blast mentioned in Rev 8:7.
• The two witnesses die but are resurrected in Rev 11:11,12 symbolize Rutherford and his buddies getting out of jail in 1919.
• The child's face hidden in the outstretched hand of Jesus on page 159.
• The demon claw hand and arm on one of the angels on page 52.
• The "Serpent opening its mouth" (Rev 12:14) is persectution of the Bible Students in 1922 and into the 1940s.
And on and on it goes. I can't imagine them ever studying this book again with the new crop of JWs...perhaps they will make a new and improved book on Revelation again?? Who knows....

Reinstatement Rescinded?!?!?
by DATA-DOG ini heard an announcement some time ago, " [ insert name's ] reinstatement has been rescinded and is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.
" has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

I've personally never heard or known of a reinstatement rescinded...that's crazy. It may be something new. I have heard of a dead person being DFed before...that's bona fide I was there when it was announced.

New book - "Journey to Gods House" by Brock Talon
by AnnOMaly inthis thread's in tandem with clarity's started here in the members only section.. remember the jwn poster livingthedream from 2 years ago?
his threads often had me in stitches and he had a real knack of hooking you into the story so that you kept reading.
who of us could forget the account of the booming voice of 'god' ordering a double chocolate chip ice cream?

Office Building larger than Noah's Ark
by VM44 in.
this three story office building has more square footage than noah's ark did.. do you think it is big enough to hold all the "kinds" of land animals along with enough food for them to last a year?.
could you fit all the animals from a small zoo in it, and expect them to live in it for a year?.

@ Adam - " PS you "like" the story of God wiping out BILLIONS of people, just so eight could survive? Hmmm...."
That's your characterization of the account. That's not what I believe pal- but you don't really want to know what I believe you just want to tell us about your deep study of Hebrew scholars right?
@ mP - No one but you knows what that comment means...
@ Tiktaalik - You are also taking the statement that I like a story and leaping to conclusions about what I personally believe, in total ignorance. But you do have cool sunglasses on so that's a plus.

You gotta go and reserve your tickets people! I just got mine.
I'd also like to suggest we try and meet up before the show maybe for dinner at 5:30 who's in?
And SF people where do you suggest we meet for dinner? Someplace close to the theater I would think...
