Believer...

When the JWs predicted that Scare-Mageddon would arrive in October of 1914 was it "The Truth" then?

What about when they predicted it would arrive in April of 1918? Was is the "The Truth" then?

When they said it would arrive in 1925, was it "The Truth" then?

When the September 15, 1941 Watchtower magazine page 288 mentioned that we are months away from Scare-Mageddon, was it "The Truth" then?

When the Awake magazine May 22, 1969 page 15 warned young Jehovah's Witnesses that they should not pursue a college education because they will NEVER grow old in this system, was it "The Truth" then? (By the way, young JWs in 1969 are now in their 60's)

In the late 1960's and early 1970's, when Whacky Freddy (look it up) starting ranting about Autumn of 1975 being a probable date, was it "The Truth" then?

What about when the Watchtower October 15, 1980 page 31, the book The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah page 216, the Watchtower March 1, 1984 pages 18-19 and the Watchtower January 1, 1989 page 12 all stated that Scare-Mageddon would arrive before the year 2000? Was it "The Truth" then?

When Splaining Splane explained, in 2010, that ONE GENERATION is actually TWO GENERATIONS that "overlap", was it "The Truth" then?

What about today (November 17, 2016)? Is it finally "The Truth" today?

If and when the JWs finally have "The Truth", please do come back here and let us all know.

Thanks.

Here's what the Masons have to say about Jehovah

by NikL in

my grandfather was a 32nd degree mason.. my parents ended up with one of his books called "morals and dogma" published by the masons.. i remember looking through it years ago and seeing multiple mentions of jehovah.. as it turns out, it's in the public domain on project gutenberg and is there fore searchable.. found this interesting in light of chuck russell's alleged mason connection.. it says about jehovah and the divine name.... whether the legend and history of this degree are historically true, or but an allegory, containing in itself a deeper truth and a profounder meaning, we shall not now debate.

if it be but a legendary myth, you must find out for yourself what it means.

it is certain that the word which the hebrews are not now permitted to pronounce was in common use by abraham, lot, isaac, jacob, laban, rebecca, and even among tribes foreign to the hebrews, before the time of moses; and that it recurs a hundred times in the lyrical effusions of david and other hebrew poets..

I mentioned this stuff before on this forum and immediately got accused of believing in human lizards or some other irrelevant non-sense. So, what will follow will be comments about lizards.

Crisis of Conscience - The Movie

by cedars in

i know... how cool would that be??!.

having just commented on the post by trailerfitter about the situation with his wife, and how i have personally found the book crisis of conscience by ray franz to be the perfect antidote to the society's perception of itself as being god's earthly organisation, the thought occurred to me: what if there was a movie about ray franz and his life?

obviously the society would be in uproar, and letters would be read out to all congregations all over the world not to go and see it, but just imagine!

What Were Your Elders Real World Jobs?

by pale.emperor in

we all know that education is severely demonized in this religion.

and that the elders are appointed based on how many meetings they attend, hours they put in on the ministry and general attitude to other elders (as apposed to, you know, actual theological training and counseling) - so my question is, what were your elders occupations outside the kingdom hall?.

in my old congregation our elders consisted of:.

1) IT College Professor (COBE)

2) Unemployed, on Workmen's Comp for over several years (while Regular Pioneering)

3) Government Appraiser

4) Auto Mechanic

Satanic Voodoo & the 2016 Special Convention in Puerto Rico

by Calebs Airplane in

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5635268717576192/puerto-rico-special-convention-2016-video.

voodoo originated in haiti during the french colonial period.

it was based on a tribal religion somewhere in west africa (possibly the kingdom of dahomey) and was brought to haiti by african slaves in the 17th century.

Voodoo originated in Haiti during the French Colonial Period. It was based on a tribal religion somewhere in West Africa (possibly the Kingdom of Dahomey) and was brought to Haiti by African slaves in the 17th century. The word “Voodoo” is derived from the word “vodu” of the Dahomey language and generally means spirit or god. Since Haiti was isolated during much of its early history, the Voodoo religion eventually developed its own unique traditions and became more Satanic during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The use of singing, drumming and dancing during Haitian voodoo rituals later evolved into several other musical genres and traditions throughout the Caribbean, such as the “Bomba y Plena” which is played primarily during Christmas time in Puerto Rico. So I find it strange that this music and dance would be played at the 2016 Special Convention to welcome visitors from around the world, including Governing Body Member Mark Sanderson.

an hour ago i went to bid good bye my two brothers in law and their wives (all elders/elderettes).

Whomever was in charge of planning this Special Convention obviously failed to do their homework. The music that was being played throughout this convention was “Bomba y Plena” which is derived from music that was played by enslaved Africans in Haiti during their satanic rituals in the 18th and 19th century, especially when practicing voodoo.

Also, this music (along with the costumes, the food being served, etc.) are all associated with Christmas in Puerto Rico. In fact, you will likely not hear this music, see these costumes, or even eat some of these foods during any other time of the year.

So this is all very puzzling to me.
