The reason for my delay......

by EndofMysteries in

for those waiting and wondering what my situation is right now.

here is an illustration i think kind of explains it well.

feel free to chime in what you think would be the right thing to do.

EoM. I think you are taking this far too seriously and it will damage your health. I'm sure God wouldn't give that kind of responsibilty to just one person. (Unless he was a prophet).

Jesus said the Holy Spirit would be our guide. For each individual one of us. There are many that don't believe in God these days. You can't take it on yourself to try and make them believe again. It's their choice and they should be allowed that freedom. Suddenly showing them something new isn't going to make them change. For believers, most will already be happy with what they already believe and won't think for one minute that what you say is from God. (Any more than we believe it from the GB).

Look at these things for yourself, if that's what you want to do and share it if you want but please don't become burdened by it so that it affects your health, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Please, think carefully.

Do You Ever Doubt Your Efforts Are Futile?

by Elephant in

...hello folks.... ...i've read countless of posts, ideas, opinions, etc here and i'm interested in your response.... ...there is a whole gamut of feelings here from individuals that are simply annoyed with the wt organization, to those that come off as hellbent on putting the org out of comission.... ...others yet seem to have made it their mission in life to eradicate the concept of god himself.... ...to any of these, what is your motivation?

and do you ever doubt that these efforts are futile?

do you feel that you posses the power/ability/means to change the convictions/faiths of the masses?

tornapart

For me it's not a mission, it's a safety valve. I still have to go along and there's no way I can tell my friends how I feel. My family don't want to hear it.

I can come here, read what I want, say what I want, without anyone condemning me. That's priceless.

Here, I don't have to pretend.

Will Don Cameron have to write a new book?

by tornapart in

in light of the 'new light' recently about the fds not being inspected until later (and not in 1919) does this mean don cameron will have to rewrite his 'captives of a concept'?

as most of his book is debunking this 'inspection of 1919'.

any thoughts?.

2012 Annual Meeting

2012 annual meeting - october 6th 2012.

tornapart

I tested a friend out yesterday, telling her all about some of the weird things from the past. The 'Children' book encouraging youngsters not to marry (and now most are dead). The 'Divine Plan of the Ages' and it's pyramidology, the 'Finished Mystery' and it's locomotive prophecy. The Beth Sarim mansion for the 'ancient worthies'. My friends reaction.... 'well the truth is progressive and I don't ask any questions or question any of it, I just accept it because we know it's the truth don't we?'

And my friend is a very intelligent person.... It makes me feel like banging my head against a wall.

This 'new light' will be accepted without a murmur, I'm sure of it.

WT "History Lesson" shows Russell's Pyramidology Beliefs - w2012 8/15

by 00DAD in

in last week's wt, jws are encouraged to study the early history of the "earthly organization".

like them [the sons of korah], do you have a desire to study and recount the history of the earthly part of jehovahs organization?

the more you learn about gods organization and how jehovah supports his people, the more real gods kingdom will be to you.

tornapart

It's the chart from the Divine Plan of the Ages.. he's hiding the pyramid.
