Yooters: "Can you industry here?"

Yooters: "Can you industry here?"
What is that supposed to mean?
To me the table looks like it was designed to fit into a corner.
"we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days!!!".
how are they going to phrase this in ten years time......
How are they going to phrase this in ten years time.....
Something like 'Oh no we never said that. Some in those days misunderstood.'
Basically repeating words they have said many times before.
did they hope that everybody who read the1969 awake as a kid is too senile to remember?.

It doesn't matter since the writer was expressing the ideas of an organization, a dishonest religious organization, that had taught similar dishonesties long before 1969, and has done so since.
Rattigan350 said: "So what is the point of beating a dead horse on and on?"
It's not a dead horse at all because the Watchtower Organization continues to preach on and on about how armageddon and the end of the world are 'oh so close, it's just around the corner, could be any day now.'
Rattigan350 said: "That writer is not currently writing for the WTS."
This doesn't matter either, since the WTS continues to publish the same nonsense using different writers - although they are a little less specific now, which leaves more room for deniability when it will be needed later.
Rattigan350 said: "Please stop talking about the 1969 Awake article."
Of course the Watchtower Organization would love that, because the 1969 Awake article proves that the biggest enemy of Jehovah's Witnesses today is their own literature.

Thumbs up to that, Ding!!!

a beard prediction for 2024:.
Can you provide a link to your Facebook page? I would love to read those replies. Thanks.
i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.
it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.
but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.
B.O.Y. ???
i found a tract at my door.
it was from a local baptist church!
( actually,i think someone wanted to give me a donation for the left over yardsale items i gave away.
" I never did think it right that JW expected others to read their tracts, but wouldn't accept other religions tracts. ( I took their tracts-thought it rude not to. )"
Good for you! I too was bothered by the fact that we expect others to take JW literature but we had to reject theirs. What a tremendous double standard. Now I see it as information control from a very controlling religious organization.
after being brought up a jw, going to mts, bethel, pioneer school multiple times, serving in foreign assignments and having been an elder for decades my conclusion is that i am now pima, physically in mentally agnostic.. agnostic means you think it can’t be proven either way creation or evolution.
i do tend to lean towards evolution but creation at the very start because you can’t get life from dead matter.
but i’m open to the possibility of chance theory at the origin of it all.

jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.
wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .
Hypocrites!
As J.T. and Lady Cee (Youtube) like to accurately say, "Nobody does hypocrisy like Jehovah's Witnesses."

the new zealand branch of the jehovah’s witnesses is going to court in an attempt to have the church made exempt from the abuse in care inquiry today.. in the high court at wellington, lawyers for the church are seeking a declaration that the church is not responsible for the care of children or vulnerable people in new zealand.. abuse survivor advocate and former church elder shayne mechen said the church was trying to use a technicality to side-step its inclusion in the inquiry.. .
