  147th Gilead prt. 3 - this could stumble people

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower

  during gerrit loesch's talk just released, he goes on a long list of the false end times predictions throughout the millennia.

  i didn't expect it, but then he goes into the precursors to the bible students who, when their dates failed, changed christ's presence to have happened 'invisibly'.

  then it goes right into the jws, and he reads the quote from millions now living will never die about how we can 'confidently expect' the resurrection in 1925, and then the life everlasting book that predicted 1975. of course, he doesn't say how it's still going on, namely with the overlapping generation and its' accompanying convoluted chart, but still, this is more than they've ever said on the subject, especially recently.. it almost sounds like a forced statement, to address any backlash from people reading 'apostate lies' online, because he also says how the gb 'humbly' admitted mistakes, referencing the non-apology after 1975 that disturbed raymond franz.

  I think the way any of us would take it is completely different than how an average IN JW will take it.

  Remember back when we were in?

  Is it possible to nullify a baptism?

  by idk123 in

  hope you are all well,.

  i was wondering within the organisation if there are any guidelines or grounds for nullifying a baptism.

  see i grew up a jehovah's witness and was baptised at age 13, i didn't get baptised for the right reasons, i felt pressured to because my friends were getting baptised at the same time.

  Well it would be of a nude woman - or a 1000 of nude women.

  But either Starry Night, or I could go with The Pale Blue Dot thats already above.

  i received a call from a friend in new york city that don adams passed away late last evening (30 dec 2019).

  many of you bethelites know him and he was the president of the society for a number of years after the gb got out of the corporate structure business.

  from what i understand, he was generally liked by many there.. some in my family knew him.

  Average Population Growth is about 1.1% - so really No One is coming into the Org, just born-ins.

  Has leaving made you racist

  by Steel in

  2. experiences

  so i use to go this hall that was basically 100 percent white and basically anyone under the age of 40 has either faded or makes a token effort to keep the peace at home, of course outside of the usual dregs of society .

  the hall went from two congs to one and i was quite happy that in ten years they would be lights out.

  then in the last two years about six young filipino families have moved in and three of them are newly baptized .

  Lots of controversy on this blog, but we all share a very special connection that is almost impossible for non exJWs to ever understand.

  Simon9 days agoIt's all BS - the whole AI movement has been hyped beyond all sense, computers just don't have intelligence and anyone claiming they do is a fraud

  You have no idea what your talking about. Again.

  'Jehovah's Witnesses' Label Added to Trolley

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yesterday i noticed on four trolleys i passed (and had a long useful conversation at one but more on that later) they had added a label identifying themselves as jehovah's witnesses.

  it was just a simple printed piece of white card stuck on next the logo.. is this a new requirement?

  was it a directive from hq or i wonder if the local council require it..

  Just a part of spreading Jehobers name to the world.

  See everyone who walks by has been preached to, so no bloodguilt for just standing around looking at their iphones the whole time.
