  King of The North: circular news top?

  by Gorbatchov in

  friends,.

  with the circular speading of my satire tread about the annual meeting on many different ways, even informal across the jw organization, i'm pretty sure that the news about russia (new king of the north) is not real.. there was a moment i thought that it was a coïncidence that incoming messages mentioned it also.. now i suppose it started all with my op, went trending through the organization (even through bethel belgium) and became a story on it's own.. this is not realy my style and i'm not proud of it.. g..

  I would be shocked if the EVER put specifics in print like that again.

  The ridiculous predictions and statements get put out in talks which much easier to walk back than in print.

  On an off-chance, he finally got one and described this "amazing store" where you pick what you want from a book and then someone goes and gets it from storage and brings it to you.

  We had those in NJ in the 70s and 80s - the all went out of business before 1990.

  As a kid, they were fun and exciting. I got my first electronic calculator that way.
  It was solar powered - super cool back then.
  I still have it as a keepsake.

  New Ezekiel Book Clarification

  is christendom the antitype of ancient apostate jerusalem?.

  previous understanding: unfaithful jerusalem is a prophetic type of christendom.

  eyeuse2badub - no one can explain 3 things that make up the religion.

  1. 1st century Governing Body.

  2. 1914 as an important year and identified in the bible.

  3. Overlapping generations.

  There will be no fifth generation of jw’s in my family.

  i’m happy to say that, yet as always with the wts there is a price to be paid.

  i’ll explain how this is working out.there’s a new development in the family that’s making the final break possible, and sadly is where the penalty for leaving is going to happen.

  only one person of all the jw family history is left that could start a fifth, he’s my nephew.

  BTY - when the WT says "Clarification" it really means, we just completely changed our mind, and by the way the reasoning will as flim-flam as ever.

  But we like to use that language because it sounds like it is just "a little tweak" and the chariot is moving forward at top speed!

  It's a shame isn't it?

  by freddo in

  ... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..

  the wt for this upcoming sunday 10/07 is especially precious in its standard double speak.

  aren't we so grateful to the f&ds who directly mediates our relationship with jesus christ and give us the food we need at the proper time?

  i dunno....maybe i have anger issues with the the wt?.

  sparrowdown - It sucks being an EXJW too.

  Damage is often irreversible if you were in it long enough.
  Just cant scroll back the years and do the things you should have been.

  i asked the question on quora: .

  if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

  One common line..

  "It is still the best way of life"

  Cult followers are conditioned to stay no matter what.
  Think about what it took for some of or most of us to have out eyes opened.

  1. Show me in the bible evidence of and the workings of a 1st century Governing Body.

  2. Show me how you see the year 1914 as an important year and identified in the bible.

  3. Show me where in the bible it shows that there are overlapping generations.
