If there is anything to bible prophecy, keep an eye out on Israel

by EndofMysteries in

what will be the end game whether in a few years, our lifetime, or hundreds + years from now.

bible prophecy did say israel / jews would be scattered then eventually brought back.

russell was declaring that and it was believed before being changed shortly before it happened.

Does anyone ever notice how the know it all atheists sounds like Elders when dealing with this subject. No No No, that’s not true………..blah blah blah.

I have many a discussion with Elders about this subject. Without going into too much detail it is all comes down to this ridiculous complex bamboozle where the society or Spiritual Israel ( shit I have a hard time keeping up with the new light ) replaces the jewish people. It all seems somewhat borderline anti-sematic sometimes.

I have never really got a straight answer on how a group of nations roughly centered in the middle east is going to attack all the Jehovah Witnesses in the end times.

I know there is a certain level of interruption that has to be used when reading the bible and I am hardly on rapture watch but it is interesting how it seems to be coming together.

Just missed an opportunity to see Richard Dawkins speak at a small venue.

richard dawkins had two speaking engagements at the local unitarian universalist church last week.. only just heard about it today!.

guess i should have been more conscious of my spiritual need and i wouldn't have missed it.

I wonder he was speaking about the importance of aborting down's syndrome children. In this day and age there is no excuse for one of those to be born.

I find Richard Dawkins to be the Joel Osteen of the science community. He is all fluff and opinion to sell books to suckers so they can feel morally superior to the average joe. Basically the same hook the jws use.

Has anyone noticed how in the October JW Broadcast, Losch encourages good works towards ALL people?

by Tenacious in

i can't help but notice how this past year alone has seen the gb start to turn more towards the teachings of the christ instead of peddling their falsities.. study articles have talked in length about the fine works of christ.

assemblies have been dedicated to speaking about christ.

and this month's broadcast is about doing good to others copying the example christ left for us.. what's more shocking is that losch actually says kids should speak, share, and even give food and clothing to non-believers!!

What a load of shit. It's not like the wts has any mission or outreach centers.

If you want to help the poor you would have to get involved with the false religions of christedom which could get you disfellowshipped.

Advance Directives and the JW Patient

by Lee Elder in

advance directives are complex legal instruments and widely misunderstood by both physicians and their patients.

with most jehovah's witnesses their is a significant level of misinformation, and in many cases coercion or undue influence exerted on the patient.

physicians need to be aware of this and always meet privately with the patient to educate them and then ascertain their true wishes.

Clambake

I my wife just had a baby and all she had in her file was a letter stating she was one of jehovah witness and she had strong views on blood. It didn't look like it was official.

Stupid thing is her doctor typed who happened to be a jw also. It wasn't signed either.

Luckily nothing happened. Still if something happened, I really wonder what would of happened.

WT lawsuits - Gog of Magog - Coalition of Nations - Courts of Law - Bankruptcy

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

what if the society know it only has to lose one big case to lose a whole set of cases on precedent of the first case?.

this means they will lose millions of dollars in lawsuits and settlements.

which means their financial stability is under threat.

I wonder if anyone in the borg has noticed Russian soldiers on the Israeli border.

No no no, iit's all the world turning against all those Saturday morning door knockers.

Putin and Obama and the pope are having a meeting about it right now.

I went down in the first Round!

by John Aquila in

there is a visitor brother in town and from what ive been told, he has been a missionary for many years and they were having a get together for him.

i took my mom to that get-together yesterday and stayed for a few minutes.

i heard a group around a table with the visitor brother talking about how hard it was getting in the world with so many distractions and that many of the brothers were falling into the trap and leaving jehovahs organization.

Those verses in kings were a reference to Romans chapter 10 where it states god isn't done with the jews. I really hate when jw theology replaces themselves with the Jewish people. It is quite anti semantic rubbish.

I found the best way to debate a jw is to really understand the difference between the word Israel in the new testament and what is the church.

What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

I saw a young mother once receive counsel because the coloring book her child had was a sesame street one with a picture of the Count on it. Apparently it promoted Spiritism. It wasn’t a back room thing, just a comment.

I think the elder heard me laugh about it. I couldn’t help but think

One Asshole

Two Assholes

What The Hell Couples

by Clambake in

penny and leonard.

billy bob thorton and anglie jolie.

lyle lovett / julia roberts.

Clambake

Penny and Leonard

Billy Bob Thorton and Anglie Jolie

Lyle Lovett / Julia Roberts

How many of these what the hell couples did/do you have at your local hall.

I just had words with an elder that looked like comic book guy from the Simpsons who just happens to be married to some bombshell.

Not saying that I really care but or am that vain or anything to write home about, it is just one of the weirder parts of JW world. It is actually quite funny sometimes. So these called spiritual men with really good looking wives and some plain jane pioneer sister can't get a break.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

I like to think of myself as a Christian. Not a very good one but I do try. There are aspects of the faith that I do find a little nutty ( like all the animals in the world getting on a big boat ) and I not going to claim that I have all the answers.

Another crazy thing is there is demon/angel named Satan. Like there is a man in a red suit with horns with a pitchfork trying to make me do bad things.

Sometimes I am ready to totally dismiss it , then something like this comes along where you can see such a blasphemous mockery of god himself and it makes you wonder. Like this is so stupid , there just has to be a supernatural presence behind it.

Just my two cents.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015): Serving Single - Do not use JW dating sites!

by Designer Stubble in

around the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.

at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".

guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.

I had a grandpa that was 20 years older than my grandma. The last 20 years of their marriage , they went from husband and wife to nurse and patient.

What a horrible thing Mr. Jackson did that poor young lady. She is also good looking, you can really tell what he was looking for in a mate. Not exactly a stand up move.

What an asshole, he has the nerve to tell someone how to meet a mate and what they should be looking for.
