.......All Jesus had to do was hand the disciples the Scroll of Daniel the prophet

(Matthew 24:3) 3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”

3Q's asked of Jesus.... When will these things be?

What will be the Sign of your presence?

What of the conclusion of the system of things?

(Matthew 24:15, 16) 15 “Therefore, when YOU catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, (let the reader use discernment,) 16 then let those in Ju·de′a begin fleeing to the mountains. . .

Right so, Jesus told the disciples about the thing spoken of by Daniel the prophet, and the disgusting thing standing in a holy place. Then he goes on to list all the things that are expected to unfold.

Then: (Matthew 24:32-35) 32 “Now learn from the fig tree as an illustration this point: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and it puts forth leaves, YOU know that summer is near. 33 Likewise also YOU, when YOU see all these things, know that he is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. Ok so when will that be then? (Matthew 24:36, 37) 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. . . "Nobody knows"!! "Only The Father"!! Hang on! Didnt Jesus just mention Daniel the prophet. What about the Seven Times?.. 2520days?... Day for a Year? I'm sure Jesus also read Chap/Scroll 4, did he miss that bit. I think Jesus was telling porkies Daniel the prophet spoke of Jesus Second Coming, and it would be Oct 1914. All he had to do was hand the disciples a Scroll, you know, the one with the big tree in it. They could have discussed it at their next Congregation Bible Study™ and would then have clearly understood that Jesus would not be returning for another 1880yrs? (33AD>1914) In the Autumn/Fall. Maybe Jesus would have learned something from the upbuilding comments.

How to make your exit with minimal pain while still living at home with your parents

by sseveninches in

as requested, i've made a new thread with the info i posted on a previous thread.

this is intended for young jws who have woken up from their anesthesia but still cannot move, or in other words, have learned ttatt but are still living with parents and are afraid of getting kicked out if they make their opinions/findings known.

i am included in this group of people, because i myself still live at home with parents.

it was the hungarian's first time.

i liked looking across to the half dome? (i think that is the name of it). there was a nice big water fall which was a nice spot.

My wife's JW brother/wife and cousin/husband are coming for a visit....

it's been 2 years since my last meeting and i have been avoiding all contacts with jws to stay under the radar.

i've had my brother, sister and mom visit from back home 300 miles away and except for my mom i told the others why i stopped believing in the wt's teachings.

they told me that i should do what makes me happy and that nothing would change between us...we will see.

BroMac

I told them that deciding factor for me was when they "explained" the new meaning of generation at the 2010 DC...which is the 6th change to this teaching. JC did know how long a generation was because the destruction of Jerusalem came some 40 years after he said those words. Deer in the headlight looks from both cousin and BIL was the only reaction.

I liked that bit
