27New explanation of Gog of Magog: Two Gogs?
by leaving_quietly ini just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.
i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.
this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .

I didn't hear the talk so I don't know their Nu Lite. However, don't spend too much time trying to figure out what they mean because JW doctrines are like busses- if you miss one, another one will come along SOON.

Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...
by Brock Talon ini poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.
i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.
it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

My experience with the cult is different. Old school JW's were usually very matter -of -fact about death. They viewed it as temperary sleep. To grieve more than short time viewed was "spiritually weak" implying the berieved didn't put enough faith in the resurrection. TWO WEEKS after my 20 something son died in an accident my devout JW mother phoned, hubby answered. Mom asked "Is she OVER it yet" Mind you this was her firstborn grandchild.

WHY are Watchtower leaders OBSCURANTIST and how can we fight them effectively?
by Terry into read and understand this topic you will need to know two things.. following my telling you these two things you'll need to sit and think about them before you react and respond.. ************.
1. understand what obscurantists are and what they do and why .. 2. decide if want to be effective in refraiming your identity (the label given to you) as an ex-jehovah's witness in fighting them.
watchtower society obscurantist leaders.

I was thinking along the lines of Outlaw when I read this post. My definition of fighting against the WBT$ might be different than someone elses. Simply helping a JW to think by asking a single well thought out question is more effective than a hundred protesters at a convention. Using confrontational language to a dub is counterproductive and plays into their notion of apostates being dangerous.

Let's Say 1914 Was The Establishment of God's Kingdom....what is the significance?
by minimus inas hillary clinton might say, what difference does it make???.
even if god's kingdom was established in 1914, why is that such a big deal?
other than unprovable actions in heaven, what can jws say is the significance of it all...with a straight face?.

A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.
by punkofnice inas a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

I get a kick out of the fact that my grandma (who died before I was born) was a Russellite cowgirl. In the 1910's the family had a car but there weren't many roads so she did the "Witness work" all decked out with her middy dress, duster and big black hat on horseback. No gun-totin' for grandma, she strapped on her bookbag instead. The sisters' "car group" was a line-up of decked out gals on horses! LOL The pic are in storage. Some day I will try to post them.
