  today i got accepted to a christian university and we had an earthquake!!!

  the college is located here in va and is the largest christian university in the us.

  my husband is worried about the money but the fact that it's liberty u upsets him more.. otherwise things are good between us things are tense on meeting days.

  Sorry I didn't reply sooner, THANKS for your encouragement!!! It's been quite a week, college earthquakes, tornado, & hurricane. I haven't had power since Saturday afternoon. The plus side no meeting Sunday or tonight and he hasn't been out in service in 2 weeks. Since we're going away this weekend it will be 3 weeks.

  I must admit I'm worried about the upcoming WT study on apostates. The sunday he acted out of character and got into an argument with me was after a daily text on spiritual contamination. He loves me but as many of you know the mind control is relentless. Let's see what happens.

  ...but 5 years ago today, i made my first post here on jwn.. .

  i was an elder, had a true-believing jw wife and our unbaptized publisher children were beginning to feel pressure from other jws to take the plunge.. .

  amazing how much can happen in 5 trips around the sun.. .

  Copyright Issues

  by irondork in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the points ray franz brought out in both his books is that most of the early literature is out of print and simply unavailable to jehovah's witnesses (or anyone else) today.. would there be any copyright issues involved in setting up a website, or an addition to this website (just a scenario) with a database of all this old leterature?

  are writings from 100 years ago considered public domain now?.

  i realize it would be a massive undertaking but with so many people contributing literature from their own collections.... .

  Is there a connection with Golden Dawn & Golden Age?
  New World Order & New World Society?
  Which spirit spoke to Franz? (an older bethelite told me about how bethelites used to whisper around his room so as not to disturb him, one never knew when the spirit was enlightening him)
  This religion mixed the techings of the demons in from the beginning, nothing surprises me anymore about them and I believe anything is possible when it comes to this antichrist religion.

  According the WT, how many “comings” or “returns” of Christ are there?

  by cyberguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according the wt, how many comings or returns of christ are there?

  and the follow-up question is: how many comings of christ are actually indicated in the scriptures?

  (yes, we can debate for days, needlessly, concerning the 1914-calculus, but the truth is so much simpler than this!

  I thought about going to the meeting just to hear what people have to say about it since it shook us pretty good. Then I didn't want them to think I was running back into the cold dead hands of the frozen congregation.
