how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.
they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .
with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.
but I still feel it’s the closest to the truth than any other.
What ???.!!! No, no, no !
It’s either right or it isn’t. You can’t be just a bit true.
You are prepared to submit your life and the lives of your loved ones to something that isn’t the truth. It doesn’t make sense.
if you want happy, convivial friendships, join a club; at least they don’t pretend.
hi everyone i’m a pimo elder ex bethelite and pioneer who has been having doubts for many years.
as of late i’ve come to have even more doubts mainly due to the gb pushing the vaccines and acting like salesman for big pharma companies .
i will never take these vaccines even if it meant i couldn’t go to the hall as was previously said but the gb have done a big u turn on this now.
Now I know you're trolling us!
Well, punkofnice has called you out.
How do you respond?

your posting name brings up so many pleasant memories
anyway, to my point 🙂
our learned companion named scholar JW has shown incredible tenacity over many years promoting the legitimacy of the Borg.
Who can forget the tussles that he and I had together with the excellent poster hillary_step almost twenty years ago?
Whilst disagreeing wholeheartedly with scholar’s point of view, I must acknowledge his loyalty, his tenacity and indeed endurance over so many years to the interests of the Borg.

After all this time, don’t you think we should meet and acknowledge we can be friends ?

That is not to say that some very genuine good people have worked on that with joy, , but so have members of others groupings
Precisely! Like the local gun club or the knitting circle or….ad infinitum.
It’s hardly a reason to stay in the borg when it’s very basis is the ideas and whims of men.
what is the harm or downside of being pimo?.
i get all the good things about being in the cong, good social life lots of invites to bbqs and meals out.
lots of interesting gossip 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

When I think of the OP and being PIMO and faking it, I wonder just HOW many Witnesses in any given congregation are genuine?
and I wonder about the Bethelites too. I can recall many years ago, when I was ‘in’,having conversations in the corridor at the branch office about certain ‘anomalies’ in teachings - all in very hushed tones of course ! I knew at that time some leaders had doubts. They were willing to “wait on Jehovah”. What about now? I wonder.

Are you saying that it is only in the Anglican church there are Christians?
Now come on!
the important ‘label’ is to be known as a christian. They happen to attend a particular church but unlike JWs they don’t see themselves in a separate religion (or even the “true christians” ) because of the particular church or denomination they attend.
let’s return to that then, they see themselves as christians who happen to attend an anglican church.
better?

unlike a Church born out of the divorce of an English king circa 1534 AD.
Wasn’t the church born at Pentecost ?
(asking with a smile on my face😊)

I don't think he can ever be free because his life post watchtower is still all about them!
Precisely !
His life actually needs the Watchtower !
What a sad existence.

The Anglican church is a “broad church” and that appealed to me after the uniformity of the Kingdom Halls.
However, although recognising the Book of Common Prayer, there is some variety in liturgy and forms of service.
My local church has two services on Sunday, the traditional prayerbook service and the modern ‘Family service’. Either and both are acceptable and both congregations enjoy rich loving fellowship both within their congregations and between them as a whole ‘church’ - so different to what I may have expected from a Dub mindset.
You’d be welcome to join me !
