A new Third Edition of APOCALYPSE DELAYED has been released. This may already have been discussed or may be old news but I just saw it on YouTube. Mr Penton, the author, says he has included jws attempt to deal with 1914 and their new light on the Governing Body being Faithful and Discreet Slave in this new edition. He gives credit to Barbara Anderson for her help with research on the book. Supposed to be a great book of jw history.

The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s
by truthseeker inhaving just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.
and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.
many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

I am 71. I left in my late 30s, I have four older sisters still in borg and three brothers who long left before I did. We know our sisters will never wake up and leave. They have too much of their life invested in it.The youngest is 75 and the oldest is 87. Too much life has passed and they cannot face life without borg.Too bad, so sad. It is what it is. -

Jesus is not Michael the Archangel here is why
by paradisebeauty inone of the biggest missunderstanding and unbiblical teaching of the jw's is that jesus is michael the archangel.
here is what proffessor anthony buzzard has to say about this:.

WOW! This is something new to me. Jesus came "into existence at his birth on earth?" Never heard that before. I do remember telling on of my non-jw friends that Jesus was Michael the archangel and they thought I was crazy. Have to research this professor.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"
by Terry ini always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

The monthly broadcast as an opportunity to wake up
by paradisebeauty ini was thinking that maybe the monthly broadcasts are a occasion for some jw's to wake up.
before those broadcasts they probably imagined that the gobgoverning y members are some very special peopleand that you see in their behavior and words that they are "chosen".
but now all jw's can see them for who they really are: average men, some full of themselves, some ridiculous, some just normal men with nothing special.

I just recently became aware of JW- Broadcasting while listening to John Cedar's rebuttal of them on youtube.The broadcasts are both fascinating and disgusting. I have been watching them non-stop, when I am not working, for about five days. I cannot believe they tell such lies. I cannot believe how they encourage patents to blackmail their children into getting baptized by not letting those children, who qualify for a drivers license, obtain a drivers license. Their pleas for money are disgusting.

THE IMPONDERABLES TOPIC (Enter at your own risk)
by Terry ini suggest taking this slowly .
.. consider the difference between taking a poll about an upcoming election and the actual vote itself on the day of the election.. the information gathered about what the vote will be is provisional.
the vote on the day of the election is actual and official.. it is the one that counts.. now, carefully ask yourself what the specific difference--if any--there is between the poll information and the election result as an identical knowledge of.

Terry this topic is interesting.
sparrowdown, self-awarness may not be necessary for existence but could it make our existence better or maybe longer. Don't we become self-aware early in life, say in the first months of life when we first realize that we are not a part of
our mother or whoever takes care of us in the early weeks,months of our existence, but another entity of our own. Does self-awareness help us to differentiate oneself from another, and what we/ they might want or need, to make our
existence better and/or longer by determining what we do
Just a thought
