to me it's pretty obvious from these verses.... matthew 23:36, matthew 24:34, mark 13:30 and luke 21:32.
...that jesus, talking to his disciples, told them that armageddon would happen in their generation (the first century).
just wondering if everyone else sees it this way, or have i missed something?.

(i have an addiction to pornography.
Hi Weskerbouts
Your eyes are opening to reality... this is just the beginning. I was never a Jehovah's Witness, so what I say may not be as important as what other people will have to say, but I have two suggestions which I think are very important, based on my own experiences:
1. Study open mindedness... never stop learning by watching videos, and reading books.
Watch this video:

Read this book (Software for Your Brain - free download):

2. Regarding your addiction to porn... if you want to be free from your addiction, or just learn more about it, go to http://yourbrainonporn.com/ and watch the videos there. This is a non-religious, open minded / unbiased site, which doesn't actually have an opinion on whether porn is good or evil.
just wondering if it's possible for a non-religious person like me to be friends with a devout jehovah's witness.
as i understand they don't like to mix with us lower life forms.
any thoughts?.
Hi ABibleStudent... interesting idea: 'It would be better to give your JW friend a copy of "Crisis of Conscience" by Ray Franz anonymously than just unconditional love and acceptance.'
I would be up for that... what do you think the chances are that they would read it?

I like what you wrote, Ding... "showing them unconditional love and acceptance." Worth giving a try :)

Thanks guys... this is interesting stuff. Wizard... I had a good laugh at that.
So, if I wrote a letter like this, I could get a JW friend and start causing trouble with a capital T?
Dear Magnificent J-Dub.
I'm a puny, worthless, low-life. I know nothing. Please tell me everything you know, because you are a chosen great one, who knows stuff (not really). I like having friends. Will you be my friend? Maybe just a "Facebook Friend"?
Regards,
Puny Lowlife
Okay... I'm just talking a load of crap now. Sometimes I like to do that.

Hmmm... just thinking about how those ratings work... jw.org gets 95% for child safety. Does that mean that only 5% of children who visit the site get brainwashed into joining?

i wrote a short story this morning in order to express my thoughts.
i call this story "the real genesis," and i posted it on my blog here: http://soberauer.blogspot.com.
i do apologize in advance for the lack of kittens in this story.
Hi Steve...
Thanks for the comment, and your interest in my background.
Nope, never been a JW. I'm just fascinated by closed mindedness I guess. Was a member of the church of Christ for many years. It took about ten years of questioning things and making excuses before I knew enough to realize that I could not possibly be a Christian without being dishonest.
I wrote a novel, called "The Mischievous Nerd's Guide to World Domination," which covers many topics that I've thought about, including religion. (Available in digital format here: http://losthobbit.net/download.php, or on Amazon.com)
