  by Phoebe in

  2. friends

  so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.

  'you have to go to the convention.

  bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.

  Why do the Witnesses always forget their own timeline?

  Before everything crashes there is supposed to be a cry of "peace and security"...

  For people to be doing a shout out for peace and security there must actually be (at the very least) a widespread illusion of peace and security.

  But no...the JWs rush from drama to dram declaring each one to be "IT".

  It is very reminiscent of the fairy tale about Chicken Little and "the sky is falling" isnt it?

  Hugs to you Phoebe and just have sympathy and a smile for the "alarm" generators in your life.

  How do I quote on this site?

  every time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.

  i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.

  i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

  Incognito
  I add 3 blank lines (hit Enter 3 times) into the 'Have your say' box, before inserting a quote

  Hey! It worked!

  That is an amazing tip Incognito. Thanks

  I like to highlight the name of the poster I am quoting too and include it in the yellow box. It helps if people want to keep a conversation straight as sometimes things can move very fast.

  I usually remove the time of the post over on the right across from the poster name just because.....but you dont have to.

  silly observations from that '1975' video...

  by undercover in

  1. jw

  okay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the wts is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975).

  other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so i won't dwell on that here.. but, what i will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design.

  feel free to add to the list.. early scene where the wife is dying.

  I got a kick out of the paisley dress the sister was wearing and the green Bible. Oh yes, and the 6 inch wide hair band!

  (As if THAT doesnt pin down the time frame they want people to think about!)

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  Hi Skepsis!

  The first year I skipped going, I watched it all online.

  It just served to make me glad I didn't go...

  In latter years I didn't have the wherewithal to watch all that so I read the transcripts of the outlines the speakers were using.

  This year, I doubt I will even do that.

  Its a process!

  Ironic that in the video they make the statement that personal study such as Jesus words that "no man knows the day nor the hour" are what helped in coping.

  That is a reasoning point from Ray Franz book "Crisis of Conscience" in the chapter on 1975.

  What do you want to bet that book is reference material for the writing committee now?

  Remember that song "Would Jesus Wear A Rolex On His Television Show?"

  Guess it was prophecy!

  Wasnt there a flurry of comments on someones watch once before in a video the Org produced? Then, the next time the person was on a video the watch was absent?

  The case of the flip flopping watch brought to you by the flip flopping religion!

  i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!

  almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!
