Drama at the RC

i sat through part 1 of the drama yesterday.

i thought they did a fairly decent job with it, except for the weird questions asked up front by an ancient guy asking "how do you know jehovah's witnesses have the truth?

" that has absolutely nothing to do with how he was convinced jesus was the messiah.

Who ever knew witnesses to be accurate? they talk about being accurate but they don't actually do it. Especially not lately, when they gloss over facts, to make themselves appear more reasonable than they are. It's like Fox News saying constantly that they are the only fair news source. Watch it often enough without watching other news and people start believing it. Accuracy not so important. Dramatic effect.

What Road Would You Choose---IF?

say you could go back in time to when you were 15 years old.

Life is funny.
i don't want to give away too much, but i would have liked to be an actress (very cliche' of course) not famous or anything, but it would have been great to get an earlier start, I know I could have played roles in local productions. I was just in a small role recently. I was good.
But honestly, what would have happened if I wasn't a witness, is the worldly boy I fell in love with in senior year of high school...we would have gotten married. The only reason we didn't is because he wasn't a witness and I couldn't hurt my parents. We found eachother much later on FB. He, strangely, had gotten into another cult, (weirder than jw's) and escaped from it. He got married and had the same number of children as I have. We limited our talking to eachother. We are both happily married. Now, 5 years later, he is slowly dying of a terrible neck cancer that took his voice, tongue and ability to eat by his mouth.
Realistically, if I hadn't been a witness, I would have been his wife. Watching him suffer every day. He is very spiritual and sees beauty in the process of himself dying.
it gives me really mixed feelings. Selfishly glad it's not me that has to raise the kids alone. but being so far away...feeling really helpless.
Im not grateful I was a witness. I'm grateful for my husband who followed me out. And he's healthy.

Does anyone know if Adventists acknowledge their past mistakes, or do they try to deny them? do they admit outright that 1844 was false prophecy? Or do they say like the witnesses 'SOME presumed to believe...'.

sometimes i get a strong curiosity to start dabbling into other religions, other faiths, you know?

really different ones such as islam, judaism, hinduism, etc.. has anyone here looked into something else?

has your spirituality been satisfied by any other than christianity?.

what we can read in the wt 10/15/2015... they have really no shame!.

Substitute 'Jehovah's organization' for 'christendom' and see if their standard still holds. The only ones above criticism are themselves, apparently. But everything they print about other 'supposed' Christians is true, while the articles about themselves are all lies! Lies!

That graph is them saying:
'Here is our ridiculous twist based on the scripture above. Let us spell it out for you so you can see how ridiculous it really is!'
