  ..bloody meetings" --dale carnegie.. i say this as my wife frequently returns from meetings in a bad mood and after any convention a worse than bad mood.. i detect the same in others postings.

  whatever the wt is spewing out it is not honey but vinegar.

  im going to bed with a book..

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

  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.

  James jack:

  The CO pauses again, and says "Brothers, SOMETHING VERY BIG IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN ON THE WORLD SCENE!
  I said to myself, he we go again...

  Was that all?
  

  No questions about what the CO was expecting? Russia King of the North (again)? Start of the GT? Anything????

  gorby has been offline from jwd for some weeks, and it made my situation not better, have had some serious problems with the fading, much pressure, i have nothing new to say, it must be very similar to the situation of many faders here.. so, i had so much pressure, that we have had to change our holiday booking so we are able to visit the convention, due to family reasons, you all know what i mean.. please wish me (and us) much luck for this summer.

  it is not my best summer season in life.. this is how i feel:.

  Thanks WF. Intriguing opening sentence:

  Between orthodoxy and cultism exists a narrow divide.

  lol So true! So... one of their guests was a chief of anesthesiology and specialist in bloodless surgery procedures? Must have been some heated debate then! Would love to hear it

  A philosophical question

  by Coded Logic in

  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.

  Rich, I missed your OP, my account is only 5 months old and I haven't read everything. I'll take the opportunity now to wish you strengh for everything that happened so far and I hope you were able to get enough rest as well. I also hope you can cope with your mother and that you'll be able to connect emotionally...

  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?
