sunday my old bethel roommate came up to visit me.
he left a couple years ago and he wanted to catch up and reminisce.. while we sat back remembering crazy things we saw take place at bethel he reminded me of a creepy instance with bro.
swingell.. it was a saturday morning and we decided to actually go get breakfast.
@silentbuddha Thank you for sharing, I'm always up to hearing stories from ex-bethelites. I lived in Queens a long time ago and spent a lot of time at all the Bethel buildings. (I was secretly 'dating' one'). I have a few funny stories myself.
@wake me-I would read that book! ha
the large horn on the goat is the first king of greece (8:21), obviously alexander the great.
after his death, alexander?s kingdom was divided among four of his generals (8:22).
the high priest), and further causes the daily sacrifices to cease, and the sanctuary to be defiled (8:11).
I know this post is 14 years old, but I'm bumping it for newbies like me. My spouse is so sure that these prophecies are now happening thanks to the latest convention. Thanks Leolaia!
this is bigger than christmas and birthdays wrap into one.
thanks to the australian royal commission our youngest son has woke up.
we received a e-mail from him tonight where he apologized to us for shunning us all these years, how bad he felt for doing this.
SO happy for you both!! This gives me some kind of hope for my still in parents, brother & spouse.
Must feel so amazing!
im not sure if anyone has posted this before?
(sorry if so).

That was amazing, thank you for sharing! Gave me chills.
But can anyone please elaborate on what he meant by CTR's biography being a lie? I have not heard of this in my research?
you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.
anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?
so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.
Watching a member of the GB lie and mislead the audience with his answers at the ARC. I think he has and will continue to help many start to wake up.
someone on jwtalk has shared their convention notes (for those interested in a jw perspective).
jehovah’s people will experience hardships, so reliance on god is paramount!.
prayer is essential and vital for our spiritual well-being.
With the majority probably being born-ins. Or children under 18.
i wonder sometimes just how jws try and comprehend what perfect life would really be like if "adam and eve" had not sinned?.
how would we live?
what would the realities be like?
Imagine my dismay when it was explained to me that the term meant spiritual "perfection".
Wait, what? You mean I wont be a supermodel in Paradise that can breathe underwater, ride sharks and possibly fly??
now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.
what about those awkward sections of scripture?
how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.
@pleasereasearch - Ezekiel chapter 23. The entire chapter is disgusting. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses
Who talks like that?? Definitely written by dirty minded perverts.
how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.
here is an example i was told as a kid:.
the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.
@punk-wow so that one went across the pond.
oh heres another--an elderly sister was preaching door to door when vicious dogs were about to attack her but she miraculously jumped over a 6 foot tall fence. (cane and all).
one of the things that really bothered me is how most of the book of revelation isn't understood by most jws.
most of the trumpets were already sounded many decades ago, is that still right?
it seems like most jws just look the other way.
I was just thinking about this book yesterday.
My spouse is adamant that new scrolls will be open in 'the new system' because of the content in Revelation. He is PIMI. I am POMO.
Whoever wrote this book was definitely high on something. And 'evidently' it was almost not canonized.
