Freeminds 2.0 has launched

today we are launching freeminds2.org.

this is stage 3 of a three part project spanning over 30 years since i left watchtower headquarters in 1980 and gave the 18 members of the then-governing body, including president nathan knorr and vice-president frederick w. franz.. the new site will be more blog/news oriented (and updated more often with articles, blogs and videos almost daily).. all of our previous sites, such as armageddonokies.com and watchtowerworld.org, randytv.com, exjws.net, and others will be incorporated into the previous freeminds site, which is currently being revised and converted from its joomla-based format to this wordpress format.

i am sure you will find it much easier to search for words, people, articles, and subject very easy.

questions from readers?

why does not the watchtower society publish simplified material for parents to use in teaching their children bible truths?.

-a question based upon frequent inquiries by readers.. jehovah god lays upon the parents themselves the responsibility of teaching their children.

Question from a newbie

my second post.

while lurking here, i've seen that some regular contributors have good resources or ability to find things in the wt publications.. i've got a relative who sometimes listens when i point out problems with the borg's thinking, but i don't have the resources to find something that would help me when talking to her.

perhaps someone here can find it and help me out.

been lurking here for years but finally decided to come out, at least partially.

of all things, the post of 'bats in the belfry' re: the supposed break up of gb member geoffrey jackson and his cute (ex-?

) fiancee a few days ago spurred me to do so.

A 3 phase great tribulation.?? Has anybody else heard this before? July 15 2013 Watchtower
by SeekingTheRealTruth in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
am i the only one that never heard this before?

on pg 3 par 3 of july 15 2013 watchtower it says "for a number of years, we thought that the great tribulation began in 1914 with world war i and that "those days were cut short" by jehovah in 1918 when the war ended so that the remnant would have the opportunity to preach the good news to all nations.

" after the completion of that preaching work,satans empire would be destroyed.

i'm new here, so i thought i'd start with an introduction and summary of my life, for the most part.

i have a tendancy to ramble ridiculously, so bear with me :) and this will be all over the place as thoughts take over the keyboard.. i was born a 5th generation jw.

i never really "felt" it, but was book smart about it.
