  Is a slow fade being selfish when you have kids?

  by dissonance_resolved in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i got some great advice to take things very slowly with the husband and kids in order to be able to fade and still maintain contact with my parents and siblings.

  but today i got a call from my son's teacher that he was having a meltdown because he was worried about all his friends and teachers being destroyed at armageddon.... first i felt like such a schmuck for ever having allowed that thought to enter my son's head, then i thought, is it psychological torture for me not to immediately correct the situation?

  i had a long talk with him about how god is perfectly just and full of love and he didn't have to worry about that at all, but it still seemed lukewarm.

  If 1914 is wrong then how is it that it was such a landmark year?

  by awakening in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the question that came up in my mind.

  now dont get me wrong i know the dates from 607 - 1914 are rubbish, but how would you explain to a witness when they will automatically say, look at the momentus year 1914 was.

  that is evidence enough that 607 is correct!.

  was 1939 not "momentous"? how about 1812? There have been lots of wars, why is 1914 set apart?

  What about 1799? this was prophesied to be the beginning of the last days and many (including Russell) took this to be proof that prophesy was correct.

  PROOF

  "THE "Time of the End," a period of one hundred and fifteen (115) years, from A.D. 1799 to A.D. 1914, is particularly marked in the Scriptures. "The Day of His Preparation" is another name given to the same period " Studies in the Scriptures Series 3 Thy Kingdom Come p.23

  "Napoleon began this Egyptian campaign in 1798, ... and being completed in 1799, marks, according to the Prophet's own words, the beginning of the "time of the end."... "The time of the end" embraces a period from 1799 A.D., as above indicated to the time of the complete overthrow of Satan's empire and the establishment of the kingdom of the Messiah." The Harp ofGod (1921) pp.228,229,236
  
  "The indisputable facts, therefore, show that the "time of the end" began in 1799; that the Lord's second presence began in 1874." Watchtower 1922 Mar 1 p.73

  there is also the old saying: "even a blind squirell finds a nut every now and then"

  there was just a folder with the "kingdom ministry" to cut and glue in to the book to cover up all paragraphs with "finished in this century".

  yes that was pretty funny. Almost as if they expected the book to die soon so not to waste money on a new inventory of grabage can food

  They read off the names of those auxilliary pioneering; 75% of them don't work &

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  2. friends

  half of that 75% get disability and ssi checks.

  it was kinda funny sitting there listening to them go down the line, name by name, of the ones auxilliary pioneering since the numbers are dropped to 30 hours for march & april.

  as they were doing the names i was saying to myself, "she don't work", "she supposedly can't work", "he hasn't worked in years", "she gets a check", "she's probably gonna lie about the amount of hours she did" etc.. gotta love it.. i don't know if this happens in your congregation or not, but have you ever heard someone remark about someone else behind their back, "she can show up at every gathering, but she can't show up for field service!

  i am inactive but if you are still in and active you should put in a report for 30 hours (maybe 31 to look more beleivable) eventhough you didn't actually put in a "pioneer" application.

  the elders will probably ask to count you as a pioneer to get the cong. numbers up. Of course refuse the request because 30 hours isn't "real" pioneering. :)

  My chat with an Elder about the UN thing! Help!

  by awakening in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well it was a very long discussion.

  the elder knew nothing about the scandal, but he stated that he had no issue with it since when the case was brought to light, the society acted immediately to right their course.

  in fact he thought it was a sign that that the organisation was indeed the "truth".

  • truth book
  • live forever book
  • (old) united in worship
  • (old) evolution/creation book

  those seem to be the biggies. lots of other lame ones like Peace & Security, Prince of Peace book (i think this one talked about Jah possibly opening up other planets for perfect humans to live on)

  any one know for sure about the Rev book?
