'' no doubt.......''
Just how many times have we seen that phrase in the WT ?
Take it to mean, ''we are about to make something up that we have absolutely no proof for''
funny picture in new public watchtower.
evidently there was a digital camera taking pictures about 3,500 years ago.
noah had family worship night in the ark, so all you slackers have no excuse!

*we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.
with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.
i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.
Having just read '' facebook comments'', a slightly earlier thread by zound, ( and frankly, I was surprised ).
I must agree with you.
almighty god must have had a lot of time for thinking, so he must have sat there, at least once and thought along the lines of:.
"i wonder if i am actually almighty god, or is there something or someone greater than me ?".
"how can i know i have always existed?".

I do like earl grey tea.

I think he spends his time worring about Dr. Who finding him
But Dr Who is a fictional character.......erm....
i had an expensive pen i carried with me at work, it had sentamental value because i purchased it with my wife in venice after a tortuous attempt to find a store that carried fine pens.
last year it went missing, i was mortified that it just dissapeared and painstakingly retraced everything i did the previous day.
i concluded it got left on the table at a business lunch i had the day before.
I think that thefts at work are among the worst, as you almost always know the thief, passed him in the corridor, drank a coffee with him. etc
so we had the woman version.
let it rip guys - what type of woman makes you just want to get her know her better - the one that makes you take that risk and walk on over to start a conversation?.

The point seems to be that you are afraid that they might be right. Its normal to have that nagging doubt. But it goes away with the passing of time.Remember,cults prey on fear. Not one thing that the wt has predicted has ever come true. They are always modifying the party line in order to try and keep some credibility.
But they have never ever been right. Proof enough that they are not god backed.
billions of human beings right now are muslims, hindus, buddhists, etc, etc.
they do not know a jot about 'jehovah' or the 'watchtower bible & tract society of new york" etc etc.
what is going to happen to these billions of persons at armageddon?.
Unfortunately the reasonning is this:
jah knows their hearts.If he sees that they are looking for the truth he will see that they find it.
Sorry, but they have an answer for everything.
in a couple of hours i'm going to the doctor - an intervention.
i don't want to be a burdon to my mother, she has her own life to lead with her own responsibilities.
i've always been able to take care of everything for myself.
good luck loubelle.
I'm sure you're on the right track.
It's normal to be scared. When I had a bad spell,several years ago now, I reassured myself, thinking, this isn't going to go on all my life just the same.
One day, I will get to the end of the tunnel.
And I did. And you will too. Believe me. It sounds like you are a fighter by nature, dispite how you might feel just now.
Again, good look.
