  Yes, it was posted before in November. I used the video to show my new sister-in-law just how bizarre the reasoning of JW's actually is. She was astounded. She had heard my brother and I talk about things, but was somewhat skeptical-which is a good thing. My mother is constantly trying to convert her.When she was the video, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She also got angry-also a good thing.

  After listening, we talked about it. I couldn't believe that 'sisters' listening to that clap-trap didn't get up en mass and walk out!

  recently my 'in' hubby did some work for another jw.

  there was need for me to communicate with them and i used facebook to do so.

  it was amusing to find the blue jwfacts.com logo on their page instead of the jw official logo!

It was amusing to find the blue JWFacts.com logo on their page instead of the JW official logo! This person's family is very 'in'. The wife regularly aux. pioneers, the husband is an MS, the daughter is married to an elder who's family is composed of elders and Bethelites. They are completely oblivious that they are promoting a hugely apostate website. Love it.

  @Cangie-The Allentown facility is called "Legacy Place Cottages". It is in Salisbury Twp, I believe.

  my lovely daughter played in her orchestra's concert tonight, in spite of her father who tried to make her feel guilty about it.

  he went to the kh tonight, while my youngest child and i went to listen to joyous music played by the local kids at our town's school.

  my girl was front and center and she did a great job.

  Quarterback-Hi there, my daughter participated because SHE wanted to, not because of me or anyone else. Her music teacher asked her at the beginning of the year if she wanted to be in the concert and she told her 'yes'. It was her idea not to keep her dad in the loop. He never bothers to show any interest in us, so it wasn't a problem. Thanks for your concern. She started to participate in team sports this year too. She is having a good time in school.

I'm wondering who had the better evening, me or hubby..Not really, I know we had the far better time. He was really upset about her being in the concert (we never let him in on the fact that she was playing-he knew nothing until just before the event), but it was his loss, not ours.

  Are single sisters happier?

  this question is for the ladies out there, but if you are a man and you'd like to share your thoughts on the following topic you are welcomed to do so.

  given the wt society's view on women, did any of you ladies gave up on the idea of getting married "in the truth".

  in such case, did you sometimes feel that you were missing out?

  Esmeralda-It almost seems like you are going out of your way to be unhappy for the rest of your life. You were in a very happy relationship with a man, yet choose to end it instead of seeing it through. You are afraid of being trapped in a marriage that will require unquestioning submission to a man. That unquestioning submission is a requirement of Jehovah-Witnesses. The same people you are trying to 'join'. The JW's don't approve of your continuing your education either. You don't want your parents to be disrespected, yet any beliefs they hold that are in conflict with JW doctrine will cause disrespect by others in the congregation. To JW's your parents will always be blind, led by Satan and his demons and under their influence no matter how wonderful they are.

  Just why are you studying and trying to join people who disapprove of education, your parents and wish for you to go against natural feelings of being able to hold an opinion different from a man and that the opinion may be valuable? Also remember, the Governing Body will also require your unquestioning obedience to WHATEVER they decree now and in the future. The penalty for non-compliance is disfellowshipping-this after they have separated you from all your family and friends (boyfriend too) to ensure your loneliness....

  Hezekiah's Royal seal and Dr. Eilat Mazar's video confirmation of Jerusalem's destruction in 587

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  on page 55 of the wt's "god's word for us through jeremiah" book the box indicates that head archeologist of israel's jerusalem dig, dr. eilat masar's supports the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce.

  its been shown through written and possible verbal interviews with the doctor that she does not support this idea at all.

  today i found this video where she states at minute 3:57 that the city was destroyed in 587. this is the first visual proof that i have seen concerning this subject discussed by her.

  Interesting find. The video specifically states Dr.Masar saying '586', not '606'.

  Churches helping neighbors instead of JW"s

  last week where i live we had the worst wind storm in the history of our area.

  we had gust of 71 miles an hour from 3 in the afternoon till 8 at night.

  it was like a hurricane at times the wind did sound like a freight train.

  LITS-Not surprising for the JW's not to be helping their neighbors in a physical manner. The standard line is something like 'We bring a message of lasting hope to real problems' crap instead of actually getting their hands dirty and helping neighbors. If the KH did something like the local church, there would probably be a memo from NY advising 'the proper use of Kingdom Halls being only a place for worship, not for assistance to those in need'.
