  “Millions now living will never die”

  by HappyBlessedFree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.

  yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.

  since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

  Maybe it could be worse...

  so i just watched a documentary on netflix called "the end of the world cult" about some geezer named wayne bent (self proclaimed as michael travesser).

  some of the stuff this guy says is absolutely unbelievable, and made me seriously think that there are some god awful cults out there, and made me think my time in the jw's (however boring and restrictive) wasn't all so bad... has anyone else seen this?

  does anyone have any recommendations on other documentaries of the like??

  Yup, the same kind of word game they play with the nebulous distinction between "being inspired" and "spirit guided".

  Aussie Bush Humour - Do not listen if U cling to christian values.

  if your not worried about jw moral standards you may like to hear this verse, about the dangers posed by some makes of plastic chairs to manly men.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/818023414953244/permalink/1667787039976873/.

  dont forget to turn the sound on!.

  The notorious JW-apologist will take this poem as proof that women cannot be entrusted with the task of responsible chair design.

  It's "The Terrifying But Tragically True Tale of Trevor's Trapped Testicle". Just an incident of bad luck. Nothing to invoke Christian values and morals about. In the end all is well, no lasting harm is done. So, rest assured:

  Moderate clapping and expressions of joy permitted.
  

  P.S.: Even a pair of Tight Pants would have served as a sensible precaution.

  Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?

  so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

  shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

  men should be less masculine.

  one of my brother-in-laws came over one evening late in 2016, november i think, just to hang out.

  we hadn’t seen him in a while and this is before we told anyone in his family we were out.

  I wouldn't say they are "hidden", they just don't make it easy to find.

  Don't make it easy to find -- That's the definition of "to hide".
