  Gorby, I watched the entire doc today! In the capital city Pyongyang the Spanish reporter was shown a Catholic church and being a Christian, he was allowed to visit the mass, but he noticed there were no Eucharist symbols used. The Korean hosts explained there was no priest that day. He was also told there were Protestant, Buddhist and Cheodigyo (traditional Korean) churches. That seemed to give the impression of freedom of religion in Korea, but the reporter didn't trust it and he supposed that it were fake churches, only built in Pyongyang to mislead the tourists.

  Intriguing stuff man! That country will always be shrouded in mysteries.

  Something you didn't mention (thanks for not spoiling the party ) was that Jehovah's witnesses, together with Scientology, are viewed as unwanted religions. So even a fake Kingdom hall would not be allowed in Pyongyang!

  I guess paradise earth under YHWH and Christ would be too much of a rival for the Kim II-sung and Kim Jong-il cultus of a perfect North-Korea.

  Missed 1914 by that Much

  do you remember the mars climate orbiter?

  it was a probe launched by nasa designed to gather data on mars.

  the problem is that the probe never reached mars.

  I recently pointed out on this forum that the 2017 memorial invitation made notice of the Biblical moon calender, but in their literature the Gregorian calender is used for 1914, their core doctrine that Is hidden for the pagan religions of mystic Babylon.Talking about inconsistancy!

  Cirencester Congregation UK: My story

  2. experiences

  dear all,.

  i have been a member here for some years although mostly in the background.

  many of you have bravely shared your own experiences and i am very grateful for that but i have never been open about my own experience.. nevertheless, i would be very grateful to those of you who would now take the time to read about my own personal journey from the jw religion and the circumstances that caused me to abandon that way of life and how i landed up where i am.

  World's oldest person Emma Morano dies at 117

  by jp1692 in

  the world's oldest person has died in italy at the age of 117, reports say.. emma morano was born on 29 november 1899 in the piedmont region of italy.

  she was officially the last person born in the 1800s still living.. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39610937.

  Amazing! Yesterday I was on a party and spoke to a person who's father also was born in 1899, but in this case it took an overlapping generation, not a single person like Emma Morano to reach the current year 2017.

  What a story STADD and yes, the cult sucks! I had a dream long time ago while still in, but I won't tell about it now. Maybe another time. Welcome to the world of indoctrination!

  To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight

  i salute you.

  many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.

  i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

  Redpilltwice -
  You just dropped a bomb on me! I never thought about the fact that the 1914 prophecy is based on our modern calendar and not the Jewish lunar calendar used at the time the prophecy was written. Good catch!

  Thank you truth_b_known, I'm 100% under the radar but they gave an invitation to my daughter and when she showed it to me, it was the first thing I noticed in the text. It is that inconsistancy that strikes me again and again. You can't have it both ways, but the WT does and it's a bloody shame there are no critical questions about it from the witnesses themselves (at least, not that I know of) or any thinking return visit/bible study.

  It's also a point that has been adressed on this forum several times and I'm planning to use it more in the future. Witnesses beware!

  Met three JW's in town today. First two sisters, putting their last memorial invitations in the post boxes of an institution for elderly people and then one brother. Only the brother asked me if I'd be visiting the memorial this evening. 2015 was my last one. The answer was no. I also said that if they insist on using the Jewish moon calender for the memorial, they also should use that 360 day calender for calculating 1914. He knew I left the borg because of 1914 (and the abuse cases) and he answered that I'm focusing too much on dates. I told him it were not my dates but the WT's and that I couldn't sell that from door to door. He knows I know TTATT and he agrees to some part of it, but chooses to remain in the Borg. He feels it comes closest...we respect each others stance. Isn't freedom a great thing?
