yes it's true, i got to experience first hand the awesome magic powers of sparlock, the warrior wizard!tm.

this last weekend a friend of mine asked me if i could take him to the mechanic's to pick up his car after being serviced.

now this friend of mine (who is not and has never been a jw) is the the one and only friend that i've remained in constant contact with through the dark quarter century of my life when i was a witness.

i was looking at the sumsung galaxy 3 which just came out, but caught my eye on the galaxy note which had a bigger screen and a stylist pen since i have huge fingers!

at work they banned internet on work computers thanks to a bitchy co-worker of mine who is going thru menopause and swinging the axe quiet a bit.

so i will use this to stay on jwn.

Need info on Revised JW book that was 'recalled' ... was it ....

the truth that leads to eternal life?

i am trying to raise some money for school, and my father has given me consent to sell his collection on e-bay, which dates back to the rutherford days.

my sibling and its progeny have no interest in retaining the library, so he would rather sell the books, than see the collection eventually go in the trash.. .

Visit from anointed

so tonight i get to be graced by the presence of one of the anointed.

last time he visited to help me i told him that i have a problem with the 1914 date.

now obviously every single aspect of this date is wrong, but i started off by asking how come they end it in 537 instead of 539, when the king of babylon obviously received his punishment in 539, as foretold by jeremiah.

this is my first post on this forum, though it feels like i already know some of you here.

i have been lurking for a couple of months now, and i must say, there honestly seems to be more love and respect here than any forum i have ever seen on any forum of any kind.

i am 25 years old, married 3 years to my wonderful wife who is 22. we had a somewhat classic jw upbringing... which i now know has been our biggest problem.

Do I have this straight? In the time of the end.....

in the time of the end, (great tribulation/armageddon/whatever) the activities of jehovah's witnesses would be severely increasing?

didn't they give the impression that they would have like 93% pioneers and be "studying" their literature with tons and tons of people who need to get into the organization before it's too late?

isn't it supposed to be a great army?.
