the new watchtower public edition titled "the war that chnaged the world" and the awake titled "how to invest your time wisely" for february are up.
looks like they are still sticking to 1914. they do talk about the war and tie it in with the 1914 interpretation.. watchtower public:.
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20140201/.
"Bible chronology and world events indicate that this heavenly war occurred after God’s Kingdom was established in the heavens in 1914. " - page 5
"World War I. . . . provides vivid proof of Satan’s ouster from heaven. " - page 7
So remind me again how a war that began BEFORE Invisible Jesus established God's See-Thru Kingdom provides "vivid proof" of anything?
Interesting too that the article states the exact date the war ended, but not the date it began. . . Wonder why. . . .
i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.
so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.
"Takin' my time, choosin' my lines
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop, don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away
Places I've known things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got myself in the worst mess I've been
And I find myself starving without you
Seems to me talk all night here comes the morning
Seems to me you just forget what we said and greet the day
I've got to cool myself down stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet ya halfway got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya
Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head
Walk Away"
what will living be like after 5 billion years?.

DOUG MASON . . . . .. .you're seventy-fucking-three!?!??!?!??!??!!
As far as I'm concerned, you have the mind of a twenty-fucking-three year old!
Whatever you're doing, you're doing it right!!!!!!

so in trying to keep family off my ass i sat in with family "worship" from the imitate their faith book.
in chapter three it starts off saying that abram was ten generations away from noah.
imagine the looks of anger and frustration i was given when i kept reading the sentence as abram being one generation removed from noah.
Nice move!
A generation is a generation.
the outline for the annual meeting with pioneers is out.
it talks about the gb and fds a lot.. look at this:.
those taking the lead have shown that they are not sentimentally attached to material things.. they are willing to move the world headquarters to warwick, new york, because it will advance kingdom interests.
This almost doesn't seem real. . . But I trust PIXEL!
Wild stuff.
and they laced the plonk with psychotropic substances for an extra kick.. do you think that yahweh liked it too, and that's why he sent his thugs in to take over the vineyards?.
the smithsonian reports:.

this is my first post on jwn, and i would like to take a few lines to introduce myself.. i currently am still in the organization, though my conviction in the last 1-2 years is more or less agnostic/atheist (closer to atheist).
i am an ex-elder and mts graduate, having served in another 3 congregations, apart from my home one.. the reason for the above-mentioned conviction shift has to do with science and rational, logical thinking generally, and with the grand theory of evolution, specifically.
it took me long, endless sessions of hard reading and study of serious scientific literature (plus cross-matching all the quotes and claims in jw evolution-related literature), to finally make the shift from utterly firm religious belief to doubt, and then to lack of religious faith.
Welcome!
friends,.
who was in any doubt that our jw believe is a marketing model, see this pictures of the still existing hq of jw at columbia heights.. earlier comments on jwn that something is going to change in the organisation, these comments are true.. in a few years we will not talk about the watchtower society, we wil talk about jw.org.
i think the current leadership will make a transfer to a new start.
Good points CONFUSED. It is amazing how people rationalize away their actions.
When mentally "in" I wouldn't have DREAMED of visiting a site like this!
Not sure if STFU believes his own bullshit.
Anyway, carry on!
BTW their tech-inspired jw.org "look" is actually quite visually appealing. . .
have you heard what the "big announcement" is to be this week.
supposedly the bethel homes will get some announcement today and the congregations will announce the new something by the end of the week..
"Now called the "School for Kingdom Publishers" . Also single sisters and those up to 65 years of age can apply. Must be in good health. . . "
Next will be "Kingdom School for Those Who Fog a Mirror"
hello folks!
nice sunday huh?.
got something interesting here, so take your time to read it through .
That's some good stuff! Thanks
