It's hard to know what to say. I can't even imagine what it would feel like if I lost my son.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

Does this make more sense than 1914
by biometrics ina non-jw friend (whom i thought was sane) sent me this video:.

Yes I didn't think it made any more sense than 1914, and certinally no less sense.
I thought he was sane because back in eary 2008 he convinced me to invest most of my retirement funds in Gold and Silver. That worked out quite well.

To summarise. They (119 ministries) beleive:
1. They don't know everything, and are not inspired by God.
2. There will be literal fulfilment of scripture in moon, stars, 1260 days ... etc.
3. Their bible interpreted dates point to Christ's return will be in 2016.
By the way he also sent this video:

by Witness 007 ini'll never forget sitting at our district convention when a lovely pioneer family came on to tell us their experiences.
they father went on about how the struggled at times but "jehovah provided" like the time a fruit and veggies truck must have lost some of it's load and they filled there bags?????

What about when satan attacks pioneers? You never hear of these.
I know of a young poineer couple who were involved in tragic car accident, the wife died. The were returning home after the meeting.

Submitting an experience to WTS
by tootired2care injust curious, you always hear of the experiences in the yearbook or the wt about how jehovah provided for some lowly pioneer or disadvantaged person, or someone that put jehovah first.
were you ever personaly involved in one of the experiences or involved enough in the background to see how these experiences were authenticated for publications or assembly?
i'm wondering how much of these stories we hear are exaggerated or just outright lies,and what they had to do to sell it to us to motivate us to pioneer.

I think most R&F members are coached to give experiences. Always (over) emphasizing anything that will encourage others to dedicate more time / resources.
I remember being asked if I had any positive experiences.

9/11 Conspiracy nuts...60% of Americans are you KIDDING!!!!
by Witness 007 in60% of americans in one servey think the government did it.....even though there is no sold evidence.
let me spell it out.....a huge airplane full of fuel hit the building plowing thru the steel supports, thousands of witnesses, and video fotage, it almost flew through the building with debris blowing out the other side.
although it appears in the footage there is alot of smoke but no fire, right?

So 60% of Americans are awake. It'll be a good day when that number is 90% or greater.

Are the JWs were you are getting worked up over having a to go bag (Armageddon bag) ready?
by life is to short inok where i live in the pacific northwest in january of this year this elder from the hall called a special meeting and gave everyone some papers that he had gotten from some government place on what to put in an emergency bag to grab in case you have to flee your home in seconds.
i thought it was just my husbands hall being all strange and stupid over this.
one older sister said that the elder told everyone they needed three bottles of water for 14 days that is 42 bottles of water plus whatever other stuff they put in there not sure if she got that right because 42 bottles of water is a lot of weight.

Yes, we have an emergency bag all ready to go at a moment's notice. It's been gathering dust for the past 4 years.

How Will the Society React to the Hundred Year Anniversary of 1914?
by slimboyfat init's only a couple of years away now and what a headache it must present to the gb - providing they have given it much thought already.
there probably is no elegant way of presenting the hundred year long failure of the end to come; the fact that the "short period of time" of satan being cast down to the earth has now stretched beyond any credibility.
but they have to deal with it one way or another.

What's the JW reaction to new 16 page mags????
by diamondiiz inif you've been to the meeting when the letter was read, what was jw reaction????
just curious if it was just another sign that the end is nearer or did any wake up for a second to realize the corporation is downsizing due to costs..

I imagine when some go to collect their mags they'll notice, then they'll go back to the literature counter (20 mins later) and ask why the magazines are so thin. ... or maybe not?
