talking to my friend who's an elder, when i asked him did the leadership ever attempt to apologize for the 1975 prediction fiasco he said they did.
and he was going to show me.
i'm still waiting..................................................tic toc did they???
...nor do they have anyone with the creative or theological skill to reinterpret WT
eschatology for the 21st Century, so they're stuck with a decades-old, Cold-War-centric End-Times
This explains the silly undiscernable overlapping generation explanation to justify that the end did not come within the generation of 1914.
can you believe it?
this funeral arrangement goes on and on and on.
if the people loved him so much he would have been elected president.

It is to be regretted
By using this passive language they failed to take responsibility. This sentence would actually mean something if it has started "The governing body regrets..."
under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.
"the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.
will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?
I don't recall anyone ever using the publication at the doors in my history of preaching. Given the fact that is all the witnesses do now is stand next to a cart and playing candy crush, I suspect the answer is never.
... they've accepted me!
finance is already sorted - they're waiting for me to give them my new student number so that they can start paying me.
just need to formally accept bristol's offer and sort out accommodation.. accommodation should be ok - i've been told priority is given to new students, plus i'm enrolling onto a program for a real degree as a postgraduate - i won't be studying gender studies or some crap like that.
Congratulations! Best wishes for your continued success.
Remember the greatest revenge is living a successful life. Be sure to post pictures as you progress.
a user over on the jwtalk forum recently shared a warning over his research on evolution in preparation for an assigned talk.
after detailing a couple of the tidbits that he learned of during his research, he went on to say:.
this i found to be useful especially when talking ot others in the ministry.. but and it is a big but.....
If the truth contradicting his belief system makes him depressed, he better get his Prozac prescription updated, as the truth is everywhere.
whether you like him or not.... it doesn’t matter.
do you think he will be impeached?
?.
If he is impeached, it will be highly disruptive to the country and global economy. And the end result will be that Mike Pence will be president. I am not sure that creates much value.
as an elder, i saw one child abuse situation involving a man who wanted to be an elder and had i believe 8 children.
he was not in our congregation when this all erupted.
he denied it and moved to another hall and unbelievably, that body of elders wanted to appoint him since they believed his entire family was lying about him.
Yes, I was an elder for 3 years in the 90s. Our congregation had a few child abuse issues,
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
funny
my mother in law told us this morning that they read a letter in her cong last night.
from now on kh doors will be locked after 15 min of meeting start.
only the fire exit (one way door) will remain unlocked.
Is the door locked to keep people out or to keep people in?
