  i understand that cults and religious groups will always exist.

  but why do jehovah’s witnesses continue as a religion that people will join?.

  I think over 100 years of bothering people has finally caught up with them and no one hardly is listening to their 19th century way of thinking anymore. Movies and comedy skits have been widely disseminated thru out society, so much so that most people regard them as off center. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki801ccg9Yo

  Judges ch 21:11-12 12,000 well equipped soldiers went to "smite every male and woman that had lain by Man, and they found 400 virgins to bring to 'Shiloh'. How do soldiers determine a woman is a virgin? look? smell them? test them? This story is so funny, Im spraying this screen with tea , ha ha.

  my wife has held onto them like they were family heirlooms.

  we are cleaning and clearing out accumulated stuff and i pointed out that there is the cd-rom library now and that the society has made revisions and really doesn't want us to be reading the old stuff.

  she said that even though there have been changes to the teachings, the wrong understanding served its' purpose at the time.

  2005 Big Announcement (Disappointment)

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember around 2005, there was an announcement made from the platform that in a few weeks time we would have to remain at the end of the sunday meeting for a big announcement, directly from the society.. i remember all the murmuring, people thought maybe this was going to be related to armageddon.

  everyone was excited, people were speculating.

  only the po in each congregation had any idea what was going on, and they were frequently pestered for information, but sworn to secrecy, which only hyped things up even more.. then the meeting came, anticipation was in the air, the announcement started, you could hear a pin drop.

  Wasn't this around the time when the WTS switched from shunning the internet as being deplorable, to telling all to start using jw.org? And gradually promoted their web site only.

  Professions in the Paradise

  by The Real Edward Gentry in

  2. friends

  we know there will be no money in paradise.

  but there will almost certainly be jobs to do.

  we will be perfect at our jobs but that doesn't mean we will be perfect at every job.

  I always though of the old dirty men coming back in the filthy night shirts as totally smelly and unkept, I would not want to get within a mile of any of them if this fairy tale from sheep herders imagination did come true. The other side of the coin so to speak sounds much better. That you will see a bright light as you are pulled through outer space toward the sun and after see ing all your relatives saying welcome and you are feeling so happy like you were on Heroin, your journey stops at the head goat herder and he puts his arms around you and says We have been waiting for just you to show up. (self centered dream of most born agains). Both scenarios seem far fetched, than I try not to take either one seriously.

  Gentry, I think you would really like The Man Show, it shows what became of the grandchildren from Hee Haw.
