Millions now living will never die... could still be true...

by ILoveTTATT in

playing devil's advocate here...

researching online, i found that approximately 1% of the world's population is 90 years of age or older.

this means that, come 2015, there will still be around 70 million people who fit the bill of "now living" in 1925 and still living.

Centurians eventually die. What do you mean?

My Jimi Hendrix experience

by confusedandalone in

as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.

he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.

so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

Another story... possibly final story

by confusedandalone in

this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.

it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.

i feel free today.

Encounter at McDonalds

so i was helping some friends move and it came time for a break, i took my kids to mcdonalds.

we're sitting there and there's a family across from us, man, wife, 2 kids under 4. in the next booth is this older guy, maybe late 60's.. i'm not really paying attention, but then this older guy says something to the family about everybody being "me-first" these days.

so that caught my ear.

dear CandA, Your posts are addicting! Hope it doesn't come off as us watching your trials for sport. We care and many of us are going/gone through similar situations but you have a GIFT for finding and expressing the humor in the ridiculous. Therefore, we're glued! After reading how and why you were beaten as a child my suggestion was going to be: Tell your Jdumb relatives that you have earmarked $10,000.00 for YOUR therapy. Their mental, physical,and spiritual abuse has left you and the wife needing expensive sessions in order to cope with how they treated/are treating you. :)

AHHHHH 1968-69, my last 2 years of HS, dating my wild (son-of the-PO) fiance. We would sing with the car radio at the top of our lungs "All along the Watchtower" and laugh at the irony. We were way too smart at this age to try to bring "drug culture" or any other Questionable records into our homes. I already had gone through the fits of anger and record tossing starting with the Beatles who my father called "long haired faggots". This kind of parenting breaks down all communication and forces the child to do things behind their unreasonable parents' back. It seems the older the parents were in the late 60's and 70's the more they over-reacted to the music of the times because it was completely different that what THEY were listening to as teens in the 30's and early 40's. From the late 50's on music hasn't changed all that much so the parents are not as uncomfortable with their kids music. In fact it's not that uncommon for todays parents and children to actually (gasp) like the SAME music........MY .02

Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets

by SloppyJoe in

tonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.

of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.

the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

ADCMS, quoted the '72 watchtower which said "who today are known as Jehovah's Christian Witnesses." LOL JW's haven't been called Jehovah's CHRISTIAN Witnesses since R Franz was ousted. The WTBT$ can't even remain consistant with their NAME much less anything else.

Reinstatement Hearing Secretly Recorded and on JWStruggle

by RayPublisher in

okay people i have a new video that some of you may be interested in- i believe it is the only one of its kind online.

three elders meet with a young female that knows ttatt and is trying to get back into the jws for family reasons.

the audio also includes the three elders disagreeing and deliberating after she is dismissed from the room and then when they call her back in.
