The only one I can think of is Genesis 3:19, to dust we shall return. That one is accurate even if it's not considered a prophecy.

Welcome!
It's never too late to go back to school. When my sister graduated with her BS the oldest person graduating was 75 or 76. Not sure what country you are in but you can check out junior or community colleges if they have them or something like them where you live. You can expose yourself to a variety of disciplines at a lower cost than going to a regular university. Education is education, you don't have to pursue a degree if you don't want to, you can just take courses that interest you.

Hidden program in the new WT CD alerts Bethel who has visited apostate websites!!
by moshe injust imagine, if that was a true statement- or maybe it is already in the works?
do you think it is possible?.

It wouldn't be that hard to insert a program that records all the websites you visit and then report them to the org. And I wouldn't put it past them.

my strange neighbor

I had a neighbor that would do the same thing. I work nights and the garbage would be picked up before I got home so I didn't know it was happening. Then I started getting notices that I was required to put all of my trash in bags and that loose trash would not be picked up. I didn't know what they were talking about so I just ignored it. I live alone so I usually only had 2 bags in the bin, one from the house and one of dog poop. Imagine my surprise when I came home one morning to an overflowing garbage can of loose trash with a note stapled to it saying they were not picking up my trash unless it was bagged. It looked like they just filled up kitchen garbage cans and then dumped them in my bin.
I asked around and found out who it was. I confronted him and asked him to just bag his trash if he was going to use my bin. He told me to f off, that he would use my bin if he wanted, and that there was nothing I could do about. I proceeded to dump the bin in his yard. This continued for a few weeks until he gave up and started using another neighbor's bin. Everyone on the block knew what was going on so they would dump his trash in his yard if he used their can. He eventually stopped but he never got his own bin. I don't know what he did with his trash.

Rutherford 1942 "Don't have kids till after Armagedon...Watchtower 2008 same advice!! Sick!
by Witness 007 ini was shocked to read in the "witnesses only" study watchtower this stupid rutherford policy was still in place, compare.. rutherfords last book "children" {ironic title} 1942 - page 281 "wait until after armagedon to bring children into the world...it is only afew years...until armagedon...those with infants will have greater woe...it will be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the tribulation...".
so if you were 20 years old in 1942 and waited......till 2011.....do the math.. wachtower 2008 april 15 p.19 "heading: "single and childless for a noble purpose.
" ...numerous couples have decided to remain childless...to remain free to serve jehovah...putting kingdom interests above some of the privledges that go with marriage...jehovah will not forget...there will be a great tribulation...it will be a difficult time for us adults and children alike...".

Maybe there will be new light that having children shows lack of faith in the Governing Body, that if you do you are DA'ing yourself (like willingly accepting a blood transfusion), and then the religion will die off.

Association: Am i being lied to?
by roxanesophia ini don't hesitate to bring up with the girl i study with, my criticisms of the religion, and one of those is the association.
i keep reading on here that jw's don't make friends outside the cult, and this is what i used as an excuse for stepping further away from being baptized.
she tells me it's not true, and they can have what ever friends they want.

She didn't lie. You can be friends with whoever you want and do whatever you want. The problem is you risk getting reproved or DF'd if you do anything the org doesn't want you to do. And while you can have non-JWs as friends, you will be expected to not talk to them, hang out with them, celebrate (holidays, birthdays, etc) with them, or really have any more than the minimum contact necessary to go about your life. Now if you start a study with them then you can talk to them, and if you get them dunked then you can hang out together with a bunch of uptight people who will judge your every action and word.
