the latest study edition offers a new proof for 1914, get this:.
were you born after the year 1914?
if so, you have lived your entire life during “the last days” of the present system of things.. because so much time has passed since 1914, we must now be living in the last of “the last days.”.
YES!!! We are in the last tenths of a second of this nasty old system!
How may assemblies did I hear that we were way into the 2 minute warning of this system, really in its final seconds.
So sad I wasted my life:(
FYI By ever metric you can think of - things have gotten so much better since 1914.
NO ONE would want to go back to that time or any other time before 1914.
the october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.
at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.
we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.
At
some point, all anointed ones who are
still on earth will be gathered to heav-
en to share in the war of Armageddon.
This means what? That its a path for the GB to die of old age without a 3rd Overlapping Generation, but still keep the Cult alive and well?
I always thought it was funny that somehow - Catholic soldiers, would hunt down and jail or kill their Catholic parents, brothers, sisters, who want to stay Catholic. This is the same for every religion.
They treat religion like there is this massive controlling agency OUTSIDE of religion that has a motivation to finally snuff out religion.
I CANT BELIEVE I WAS SO DELUSIONAL TO BUY THIS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS!!!!!
just thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .
you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.
If it asks you to believe in Invisible SUPER Beings that care about things like, where you put your dick.
Just one example.
how to recognize the one true religion.
it freely adds to the word of god to fits its doctrines.
it splits up families over birthday celebrations .
Best way - only way - is if that TRUE god revealed itself unequivocally.
Like talking to everyone in the world at the same time, telling us all who it is and what it wants from us.
Not from some piece of crap book from a bunch of goat herders from 3000 years ago that can be made to say whatever anyone wants it to say.
i wrote a letter some time ago and to my surprise and despite the elders manual saying that a letter is sufficient for establishing 'wrongdoing' they would not announce me as no longer a jw until i met with 2 elders to verbally acknowledge that the letter was written by me.. .
well yesterday i met with them and the meeting lasted 2 minutes.
"did you write the letter?
Freedom exists in our minds only.
Giving them a letter or getting DFed or just Ignoring them has little to do with if you feel free. I think.
the video at he mid week meeting tonight shows a video on how teaching must be based on hard researched fact and that we are encouraged to look at watchtower literature to get up to speed on a subject.. here is the link to it https://www.jw.org/en/publications/videos/reading-teaching-videos/accurate-and-convincing-video/.
i find this quite disturbing when you look at the feb 2017 watchtower which explains the governing body errs in their understanding of subjects yet they claim to be god's channel of communication to his people.. what are the thoughts on this?.
i know there are other topics on new light etc...
Hard facts = What we printed in the WT last.
do you ever "think about" the things you just take for granted about the story of jesus?.
there are things about christianity which should make honest thinkers scratch their head in wonder.. **.
when beloved (or hated) public figures are murdered (or executed), some rather large waves of reaction ensue.. there are two kinds of outcry both speculative and descriptive.
Having read the bible over 20 times, being a JW for 5 decades, and and elder for 2, I have come to the conclusion that it is:
a. One of the worst pieces of literature ever written.
b. Portraits and evil, hateful, vengeful, weak, god.
c. Has more continuity holes and plot problems than a 50's scific movie.
d. Is responsible for more suffering than any other single thing in human history.
e. Biggest pile of horse crap ever.
f. I am ashamed I was fooled into thinking it was reality for my whole life.
as you are completely barred from talking or being involved in politics while in the org, since leaving has anyone started any political campaigning or activism?
also what way would you lean?
left?
I am a bleeding heart liberal.

I receive so much joy from volunteering to help others and participate in a worldwide ministry. The joy I feel is unmatched.
Really?
Yea standing by a Cart or knocking on forever closed doors is SOOOOO much better than playing in the NBA.
Not to mention the endless supply of P#ssy, pro athletes have access to.
Get your presentation ready Darren, the Big A is just around the corner!!!
We are in the LAST Tenth of a second of this system!
since jw's are getting directive to not deal with any part of btg, can u verify any halls, assembly halls, sold to a religious institution in your area?
would be eye opening to verify they have done u[ contracts to sell off properties to an " evil religious organization.
" after all, they have pointed openly their fingers at those who have child abusers in their ranks, when they are swimming in the same alligator pool.. even if it wasn't a religious org.
I live in NJ - and the circuit i was part of is getting reorganized (condensed).
I know of 2 halls (though there could be more because all this is Top Secret still) that are getting sold, and in my area 6 congregations are being ripped apart and shuffled to make only 4.
