  Well, when I as a PIMO Elder, I had to self medicate with Scotch after ever meeting.

  The stress was so much.

  Hearing things that all of a sudden were not only BULLSHIT, but were a combination of Hate Speech and the suposed evil ramblings of an evil god, was just to much to not be numbed right after.

  A rush to find someone who would marry you so you could have sex.

  Not a good formula for happiness.

  The sky is falling- maybe

  by joey jojo in

  i am actually not a 'sky is falling' guy, but i wanted to comment on the australian bushfires.. you may or may not believe the science behind global warming, however i personally put more faith in verified, scientific data than the words of fat cat, self-serving politicians.

  climate science has predicted, based on data, that we will see more prolonged, extreme weather events, higher average temperatures, rising sea levels due to ocean expansion and glacial melting.

  and this is exactly whats happening.

  Lots of morons commenting.

  Oh and by the way, the earth is flat, and we never went to the moon, and aliens killed JFK.

  We did it since we had our first kid.

  Many in the congregation with kids did to.

  "family day" just around Xmass.

  And my VERY in inlaws did turkey at Thanksgiving - cuz it was the only day everyone had off.

  People rationalize whatever is important to them.

  147th Gilead prt. 3 - this could stumble people

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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 just watched it and to me its not a backpedaling at all!!!

  Its the same old same old - We told you not to expect anything - but you did, see you should have listened.

  1975 was only a "possibility".

  "It was regrettable that people mistook what we said."

  "No reason to be shaken in the faith"

  "the date is not important, being faithful is"

  ABSOLUTELY not walking back anything!!!

  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.
