by pistolpete in

jws believe that today, the time we live in is the worst time ever in history.

i know cause i just had a jw tell me yesterday this was the case.

he pointed to covid, the russian-ukraine war, the high gas prices and the food shortage happening.

Oh, I read Tuchman's book. Once when I was 12 and last year. Brilliantly written. I add my recommendation.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

The one thing Lloyd has done that is worth while is provide us with hours of entertainment. It's a Tragi-Comedy. I hope paetreon deletes his account. Then he can go back to window washing or what ever he did before.

He patreon followers decrease a bit at a time. What puzzles me is the number of twitter followers he has. Do we really like watching train wrecks that much?

According to Patreon, Evans' support has fallen by just over 20 percent in the last six months.

Watchtower publication says in Paradise we will fly around like Superman!!

golden age aug 25th 1926 p.751 "negative gravitation...you may have wondered how accidents will be avoided in christ's kingdom, since we are told nothing will hurt or destroy.

scientist tell us there is enough atomic energy in one finger nail to propell a battleship.

the people of the future may carry some of this power with them.

Things like this are interesting, but ultimately they persuade no one. What Witness cares what was written fifty or 100 years ago, except to see it as a historical curiosity?

The Golden Age article cited above is actually in the March 24, 1926, issue starting on page 401. M. J. Adams, the author, starts the article by saying it is 'a fantasy' based on claims by a scientist. He acknowledges that his article is pure speculation and open to objection.

It is very similar to other science based speculations from that era. If we take things such as this out of context, we weaken our point.

Evans continues to lose patrons. He's down to 644. I find it hard to believe that that many people continue to support him. Let's hope the decline continues.

Kim's letter is excellent. A sock in the nose to a pair of ambulance chasing lawyers.

Governing Body NOT going to heaven!

by BoogerMan in

the jw memorial takes place in 5 weeks time, and kh meetings resume on april 1st.. the worldwide campaign for spectators will kick off soon, so here are 3 questions to help jw's see the org's myth that their g.b.

is going to be amongst a crowd of 144,001 melchizedek king/priests in heaven.. 1) a ransom only buys back what has been lost, so what exactly did adam lose?.

2) how can jesus' ransom correspond with what adam lost, if it buys back far more than what was lost?.

vienne

Logic flaw here. Witnesses do not teach that the 144K are part of the ransom. So that does not tip the equality scale.

Some Russellite groups do teach that the 144k are part of the ransom. Unscriptural and a bit stupid.

Lets hope more wake up to his nonsense.
