  Do You Think a Schism is in the Future?

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thinking about this over the weekend.

  just this week, there was the "consolidation" talk (in my wife's congregation) , the article about shunning that went viral, and the annual "show your love and obedience to jehovah by giving us your money" watchtower.

  i know my wife said people are running scared about this consolidation even though it was sold as maximizing space to help other areas, build kh in other countries, etc...... the media and government has hit them hard in many countries, but they have gotten off easy in the usa, where the majority of the people and money reside.

  The increase in the Anointed Ones

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.

  when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..

  Everything comes from nothing.

  We all came out of our mothers zero.

  But it was the "one" that got it all going.

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  on the local news last night it was reported that two kingdom halls in olympia wa were set fire to.

  i wonder who has a grudge with those congregations?

  unfortunately we know the jw"s eat this crap up and enjoy the "persecution.

  How soon is soon?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.

  soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.

  then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.

  "How soon is now"

  We are the sons
  And the heirs
  Of a kingdom that will be here any time now
  We're the sons and heirs
  Of nothing in particular : )
  So shut your mouth
  How can you say
  We go about things the wrong way?
  We know you're human and you need to be loved
  And we'll use that fact if you ever speak out against us.

  Scholarly interview on the existence of Jesus

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  perhaps this has been linked here before.

  if that's the case, i'm sorry.

  however, new people join, others miss things, some forget, so i thought it was worth posting, especially since this issue comes up from time to time and some here have never worked it out or are in the process of trying to do so.
