  A philosophical question

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  on the internet i keep bumping into people who are extremely insistent that our universe could be a simulation.

  while i think it may, in the future, be possible to simulate a high fidelity universe - i don’t think we should confuse the ability to model a universe with the ability to actually build a universe.. .

  for example, we can model weather patterns inside a computer.

  jws exist because people want an escape from the modern world and are willing to give up intellectual freedom to get it..

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  You've posted an intriguing topic OnTheWayOut. Love this kind of stuff! You wrote:

  I know this kind of thing goes against everything they learned since 1975, but they survived that and paid for modern presses with that debacle.

  Those were times of financial growth, bethels everywhere, millions of mags and books, therefore Jah's blessing.

  Now they are cutting costs like never before while the internet is shooting holes in every jw doctrine and exposing the pedophile scandals and their corruption of their own organisational history. Declaring the great tribulation now or within a short time would make it almost unbearable for the flock to endure until a paradise in 2034.

  Also, the rumors for 1975 started in 1966, and became stronger in the next 9 years up 'til the "end" in 1975. That was one of their biggest mistakes! It wouldn't be wise to fuel expectations for 2034 already in 2016 or 2017 and repeat such a debacle again!

  Just sharing my thoughts, that's what forums are for, right?

  Jws are in the matrix but reversed, sort of.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i thought of this lastnight in light of these new assembly videos.

  we have all seen posts about the comparison with the movie matrix but i think it's in reverse, here's what i mean.

  the jw is in the matrix and yes are the batteries for the machine but instead of thier minds being all fun and happy and life being normal they are the ones being chased by the machines living in zion and thinking thier going to die at any moment.

  Thanks for sharing your thoughts OneEyedJoe. I think even changing a core concept like 1914 would not have the same impact as declaring the great tribulation, because any delay of the end time would still be compatible with the WT's pathetic declaration that the end (Armageddon) is near, although we know those are empty words. The great tribulation however, can only be followed DIRECTLY by Armageddon. This would be the biggest deception EVER in WT's history, because so many lives directly depend on these events. You cannot mess with such a concept! If you do, only those who prefer the secure JW style of living in a bubble will stay.

  BORN BEFORE 1914... SO CLOSE NOW... SIMPLY REFUSES TO DIE!!!

  How Long Does This Religion Have Left?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the generation that will be no means pass away have passed away.. the 144,000 were sealed up in 1935, oh, no wait, we got that wrong, we still have some.. russel is the faithful and wise servant... oh, no he wasn't it was me, rutherford... no, actually, we got that wrong it's knorr... erm, no we mean the governing body.. shunning is pagan, true christians would never do that (1946)... oh, actually, we should do that too.. the revelation book has been re-written.. the un is the satan's visible organisation.. wtbs signs up for fellowship with the un in 1991.. exposed in the guardian newspaper so ends it's fellowship in 2001.. the greatest man book is now obsolete and replaced with another jesus book.. the mags are reduced in pages.. encouraged to use tablets instead of actual books to save paper (money).

  halls being sold off.. congregations sharing halls.. society owned buildings being sold off.. video pertitioning for money only last year to fund a new building.. bethelites reduced.. missionaries sent back home.. young members leaving.. long time members discovering the history and leaving.. how long do you think this religion has left?

  i cant see it being here in another 100 years.

  I don't expect them to.

  
  

  Once they dare to declare it...it would mean a relatively short countdown to big A. Since 1879, God's people would finally be able to bite that carrot!
  

  Can you imagine the astronomical proportions of such a prophetic epic fail if big A wouldn't come? No more tricks to play! Would any sane person buy it? It would be time for the GB to disappear to some unknown, deserted island.

  freemamaof3, you're relatively new here, welcome! I've read about your fear of demons and your experiences as a child. Could it be that it still affected you last night?
