Error:Last Reply

by Kool Jo in

good day...is anyone else here having this problem:.

when you click on the page (ex 10315) it shows you the last time someone replied to it, for example 10 minutes ago, 2 days ago ect...i noticed that it's not being listed in order as of yesturday.. i'll look on a current page, and it'll say "last reply 2 hours ago", then i go an older page and it'll say "last reply 5 minutes ago"...it's odd, so it means i have to go back a page or two in order to see when a thread was last updated.... just wondering if anyone else has this issue?.

Feelings after baptism

by Kool Jo in

jw
friends

so for those who got baptized....a question for you:.

did you feel any different?

in the talk prior to taking the plunge, we were told that baptism would would show that we're in subjection to jehovah, so that we could do his will...personally, i felt that somehow i'd have a greater urge to do more spiritually, but i didn't..the feeling wore off in a couple days, and i still had the desire to do college ect...my attitude about life didn't change.... how did ya'll feel after your baptism in the borg?.

Obama - Peace & Security?

by Kool Jo in

in one of the congregations that i attended some years ago, there was much talk that obama could be one to initiate the "peace and security" cry that borg teaches about...the brothers who speculated about this were convinced because obama was a well-liked guy...persons from all over the world seemed to have quite a bit of respect for him...hence they thought he'd be the one...obama is now in his second term, and no "peace and security"...did anyone in your congregation/area had this same view?.

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

by minimus in

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

Kool Jo

I was searching (via google) for a kingdom ministry...was just curious if they were posted ahead of time...I then saw a posting by Atlantis...and the rest was history!

I'll be forever grateful to Atlantis!

Post New Light Magazine

by Kool Jo in

so it seems that most persons just swallowed the'new-light' that was discussed over the weekend...the couple of persons whom i spoke to about it, responded this way:.

"we're grateful for these adjustments"..i mentioned to her that these are some huge changes and you can expect more in upcoming years...to which she replied "we can expect these things in the last days, besides, these aren't changes, they're just minor adjustments"...yup...it was a wtf moment for me...so adjustments and changes are words with totally different meanings.. 2.

"i'm so confused kool jo, do you want us to discuss it together, i really thought this is what we had always beleived in"...i said we can discuss it at a later time...quite interesting stuff.. 3.

3. "This is so refreshing son"..yes...my hardcore JW mom, she would jump off a cliff if the society says so...she's always told me they're perfect.

What questions would you ask to get the more "moderate" JW to think or second guess the new light that came out and how would you go about it?

The year 1914

by Kool Jo in

ok...so after this new light came out in the watchtower study over the weekend...a couple questions:.

1. why is the year 1914 still relevant to the doctrine?.

2. what would the effects be in they were to ever drop the 1914 teaching in the future (let's say 20 years from now)?.

Kool Jo

Thanks for the feedback...the article mentioned that even though Jesus was appointed as Judge in 1914, but his time to judge/rule won't begin until in the future...wtf??? So why appoint someone to be a judge/ruler if it's not time for action to be taken yet?
