After the speaker explained this aspect of Jesus’ prophecy, the audience erupted in sustained applause. Several in attendance later expressed their profound gratitude that Jesus considers them among “his domestics.”
Ugh.. It reads like North Korean propaganda. I think I want to throw up.
let me first state that i have never been shunned.
i faded from the org very quickly & my life hasn't been blighted by this practice.. i have been out of the organisation for over 6 years.
most of the things i left the religion for, i have came to terms with.
Correction: It's a Fucking cult!
from time to time there are things said by the brother giving the public talk or conducting the watchtower that just make my jaw drop.
here are two from sunday.
"we are 98 years into the last days"
36,104 days so far, if you count from the begininng of 1914.
35,896 since the start of World War I.
Yeah, I agree that's a fair few "last days"!
i can see this game being played until 2050, there is enough cash to last until the middle of the century, if all print is shut off.
when will the lights snap on, and the majority of the jws figure "we were tricked and let's keep our kids from making our mistakes.
how far can you see in your "mind's eyes" the barnums of bethel moving the circus tents before the audience realizes the show is long over?

My best guess is that it will gradually fade into obscurity, slowly declining but never really disappearing, over the next 50 or so years.
This is what scares me the most. In 30 or so years I will have to watch my parents die and despite their delusions, I know they are going to start questioning. I won't be able to comfort them. I had to watch my Grandfather die whilst grasping at this fucking "hope". I really don't know how I'm going to deal with my parents when their turn comes around.
on the jw.org site, look at the 2/1/2012 public wt, page 27 of the pdf...section 4"how are jehovah's witnesses organized today".
if anybody noticed, i mentioned i thought that no mention of 'faithful and discreet slave' possibly since 2010 in the public placed wt's.
i've read all of them backtracking to 2/1/2012 so far, and so far, my suspicion has proven true, no mention.
perfect1 - eta is before years end.
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.
Satanus Said:
W that, you have just pissed off the prophet and his god, and he's gonna slam shut even that one right door. No explanations, no vids, no directions, no noo light for you and all the rest of us. All it takes is one resistor to f###k it up for everybody. I mean, look at achan, his whole family was killed cuz of his screw up. Look at adam, we're all screwed cuz of him. Look at satan, he has managed to keep god permanently pissed for thousands of yrs. You are just the last in a long line up of guys who pissed god off and sent him into a tizzy of descruction and then going off and hiding himself, somewhere outside of the galaxy, where not even his angels can find him. I suspect that he goes on drinking binges, myself. But anyway, back my reprimand. I hope you feel satisfied w the damages you've done.
Crap, are you all going to stone me now? Surely it's my wife that's (somehow) responsible for this mess!
I think you might be on to something with the drinking though. It sure explains the violent outbursts, sloppy reasoning and craving the smell of animal sacrifice. I know what it's like to stumble past the kebab shop at 2 in the morning after a skinfull! Maybe Jesus is up there turning all the water into sweet wine
I hope EOM can forgive this poor sinner and reveal to us the glory of his word!

OnTheWayOut: Amen to that!

Just tell us what your amazing revelation is.
I WANT to share all, I am not certain if it would be the right thing to do though now. I hope to be able to do something soon though.
That's OK, just blurt it out, I'm sure we can handle it.
But anyway, this illustration below will hopefully allow you to understand what I am feeling. Imagine having 50 doors lined up...
NO! Just give us the fucking information! Seriously, EOM I've been following all these inane posts of yours and you're starting to piss me off. If you have some pertinent information, if there is something you know which reveals the true meaning of the bible then just spit it the fuck out! Stop beating around the bush!
I suspect your delay is because you are just a massive troll but I am also decidedly aware that you may be mentally disturbed. Give us the information so we can determine if you are indeed insane and can move on with our lives, just get on with it you inane, jumped up moron!
a video will be posted later today where all the mysteries of god, the disgusting thing causing desolation, all the contradictions in the bible, why god in the old testament seemed so cruel, why was satan created if god is good, how is god love?
all of the prophecies jesus had foretold which were hidden and lost yet being fullfilled the entire time.
this is the good news that will then spread worldwide, and then the end will come.
ziddina - Genesis 1 says day and night were created before the sun and moon. That doesn't make sense does it? Because that is not what it is saying. That's what your english translation makes it appear to be saying. What it really says is a whole different matter, and what is really says is 100% true as well.

Lets see you do better then!
sorry for the wait guys.... .
part one.
moorse had the opening comments talked about historic annual meetings.. .
Hello everyone,
First post on this forum, I've lurked for a while and will probably return to lurking after this post but I felt the need to point something out that (as far as I can tell) has been missed regarding this Nu-Lite(TM).
Taken from the Wikipedia article on the NWT of the holy scriptures -
In October 1946, the president of the Watch Tower Society, Nathan H. Knorr, proposed a fresh translation of the New Testament, which Jehovah's Witnesses usually refer to as the Christian Greek Scriptures. Work began on December 2, 1947 when the "New World Bible Translation Committee" was formed, composed of Jehovah's Witnesses who claimed to be anointed.
Surely, if the faithful slave is only the members of the governing body they have invalidated their own translation of the scriptures? If all members of the annointed are not held in the same regard then how can they possibly justify their translation? Unless they claim the original "Anonymous" members were all part of the governing body?
Any way, just a thought. Carry on :-)
Cheers,
Dave.
