by Calebs Airplane in

attention lurkers... monday, october 1, 2012 is the 98th anniversary of jesus' rulership!i'll just let the watchtower magazine speak for itself...october 1, 1914, on taking his place at the breakfast table in the brooklyn bethel dining-room, he in a strong voice denoting conviction announced: the gentile times have ended!

-watchtower july 15 1950 page 216 pargraph 1 those seven appointed times of the nations ended in the early autumn of 1914, about october 1. before then the good news of the established kingdom could not be preached.

-watchtower october 15 1955 page 623 paragraph 7october 1, 1914, is now more than forty-two years ago and the kingdoms fight at armageddon is fast nearing.

Are Gods true worshippers on Earth today? If they are not JWs then who are they?

by Formerbrother in

is there gods true worshipers on earth today as jesus said there would be?

if they are not jws then who are they?.

who else comes close to being gods true followers today?.

TheWonderofYou

This came into my mind:

Who believes in love faithfully

who is humble and loves with mercy,

seeks peace and truth for all

is righteousness and meek

and doubts and struggles

looses and stands up

builds up and supports

trusts in Gods word and not in organisation

Oops, I did it again! Flag placed in the KH: Chile 2016

my friends,.

what has become now a yearly tradition for me: getting the videos/photos of the flag in chile for their national holidays.. this is the 2016 version, i believe the clearest example yet:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b94j3lmqx_w&feature=youtu.be.

There is a difference between an ensign at U.S.Navy who takes the oatch of allegiance, greeting the flag during a ceremony and simply decorating the house with a flag.
But what is idolatrous whorship of a flag, does anybody believe that a flag is GOD, that it should be whorshipped?

The ancient times are gone at all where the king was a God or representative of god and honouring the state symbol was honouring the Caesar as God. Now we make a difference and our conscience is not disturbed. Or does idolatrous whorship refer also to other idols popstars, TV-evangelists, governing body members, fashion models, politicians like Obama, Trump, Erdogan, Kim Jong-un?

possessing a flag vs. idolatrous whorship of it

collective conscience of body of elders decides whether or not

Only government of Chile requires flagging of all houses.

In former times we certainly have overlooked something. The young boy could now together with his father flag his house with the flag it he lived in Chile, he would not whorship the flag in idoletrous kind, however he might do this at all.

Would it be the honouring of flag by slowly pulling it up the mast and singing the hymn in front of it.

At last something about JWs on a German news site.

by Driving Force in

for anybody who understands german.. http://www.n-tv.de/panorama/masha-16-jahre-zeugin-jehovas-article18689741.html.

it is quite rare that a german news site actually puts something up about jws, after all they are insignificant from a newsworthy point of view.

but i like the fact that they have put this up..

"Over the years she was not so urged to satisy her parents. This was the moment when she asked herself about her activity. "What am I doing here actually and with what do I lollygag my life, lifetime that is valueable? I go from house to house and realise that nobody wants to listen anyway. Nobody wants to see me here. I disturb the private sphere."

Masha lost interest in the service and the congregations. Her change didnt remain undiscovered. Sheperds visit her to "retrieve her to God". But Masha felt surpressed by the "Love Bomb" and the - how she felt - "put-on friendliness" of the disciples of Jehovah.

The whole article appeared under the column: Manipulation, abuse and loss

From her video: "Who I am":

"I live alone since age of 16, now I am 18, I like the uncommon, in my body flows german and russian blood, german are more courteous and reserved, Russian more direct and provocative, what makes it often difficult to adopt to new situations. The older one grows the more independent one gets. Now I am living in Berlin a colourful and loud city, therefore I am exactly at the right place. You can be here like you want. The city is in constant change like fashion, therefore I makes an education as fashion designer, the multitude of colours, shapes and possiblites to employ them fascinates me, from the design till the production..All steps are interesting, i like to watch an idea growing and to create things. Althoug the most fashion shows last only few minutes, much work is behind it. Before a colletion gets on the market many designs have to be performed and fabrics have to be selected. Everything happens under serious time pressure. Everything is not so easy as may be the impression."

"The same was true in my past life. From early age I was urged to her seemingly happiness. I grew up in cult. There I was told what I shall do and especially what I should avoid. I didnt have the opportunity to freely develop myself. But however I get out and the time has come. .. I have found my happiness and want to focus now on my dreams. The whole thing I am sharing in my video clips with you, share with you the big and the little moments as well, the little moments without which make life joyful".

I follow her on youtube.

A further subject of the article is:

- sexistic structure in the cult is the world view of Jehovahs witnesses

- discrimination of women, what a man says has higher value

- the pressure not to have worldy friends is so high that one is afraid to get involved with people outside the community.

- after she left the cult 2013 , her mother said: "Now a have lost my second child", her first died. Her mother was loud and aggressive accused her to destroy her, the mothers, life and prophecied her to end under a bridge, in a life without ever feeling love.

- Masha contacted social pedagogue in the school and was removed from her family, and felt that it was not the "World" that created all these problems but that the religion, these people, this community and her own parents took away all her power.

- the cult spares nobody, homosexuality is strictly punished, such affinity should be surpressed to please Jehovah, otherwise Satans' success ratio would raise.

- She lost everything and now for the first time in life she feels free, without a bad conscience to do what she fancies, watching a film, listen to music, drinking a glass of bubbly, to tattoo, all these little things constitute the great.

- Grown up in the truth she many years tells people that JW is the only true religion, out of love to her parents and to God with 12 years she gets baptized and became offical member. She enjoyed her preaching service, goes from house to house and missionized. For a long time she believed what the "sisters" whispered in her ear when they met people who didnt believe in God. Those, so she heared, would "croak at the doomsday", however she would get into the paradise.

Formatting issues

by bikerchic in

how do i turn off the formatting when i use the quote button?.

when i want to start a new paragraph and can't get out of the quote section?.

that made it worse, help!

TheWonderofYou

Another method for escaping without preliminary lines

1. Copy paste or write the text that is your quote

2. Click the Quote-button before the first letter of the quote or after marking it.

Method 1- Preliminary lines
Quote Darkspilver: When you start a new comment, and before you type anything or paste anything...
Use the return key / carriage return about ten or so times to go down the page
Then use the cursor keys to go back to top and start typing and pasting

4. Delete the quotation but not the frame, what remains is this.

5. Then click ENTER and whoops you get a new unformated line after the quotation!

6. Now Paste the quotation again into the frame. Control-V

DEATH: How have you prepared? Funeral, cremation, donate body to Science?

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

well, hell!.

i had dizzy spells and near-fainting and nausea for a few days, so why wouldn't i start thinking about death, ya know?.

am i just very lax in my responsibilities in having no plans at all?isn't that irresponsible?

TheWonderofYou

Get well soon. Is it your backbone, cervical spine that causes nausea? Do you consume your daily water ration to perserve your brain performance until your afterlife in the school books, do you eat nuts and enough omega?

If Satan is real . . . . . . .?

by Dunedain in

lets try to think about this "logically", and i use that term loosely, because we are going to use jw "logic".. so, they say that satan is real.

these are the last days.

satan is "roaring about", like a lion, with him and his demons "trapped" within the confines of earth.

TheWonderofYou

"The most dangerous lie is that which has a kernel of truth in it."
"The Most Dangerous Liars Are Those Who Think They Are Telling Truth"
"The most dangerous lie is that is closest to the truth".

Indeed that could be possible, Satan would logically than infiltrate the truth and make appear a little lie as truth, and than again another little lie as truth and so forth, in the end even gross lies would appear as truth. If satan existed he would be mad and absurd.

What would his biggest wish for today in the endtime?

He would like to be himself "the faithful and discreet slave" (claim to be himself the slave and christs successor) to reign like a king over Christs congregation and thus overtake Gods kingdom and act as wanna-be-Christ since 1914 and seduce people to believe him.

This would be Satans last coup before the end. Taking over the kingship and ruling of the world undisturbed.

---

It sounds logic but would it be very reasonable for Satan to do it? The organisation sold a truth but it was not really accepted by many as the ultimate truth, and is mostly unknown by the masses.

But would Satan really like to become a common laughing stock like JW for false prophesies, dumb cult, dumb behaviour of Watchtower? Would Satan not rather pay scrupulos attention not to appear dumb but popular? Would he not avoid to be lumped together with the Watchtower?
