  RC Was Worse Than I thought...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.

  now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".

  some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".

  Boy, they're setting themselves to be a laughingstock .... the GT is their trump card,; once they announce its beginning, they've crossed the Rubicon there's no turning back... they will expend whatever's left of their credibility on that one call,,, and what do they do for an encore? .

  millie2105 hours agohere is something i just found out this week.former belief - field service is a publishers inalienable right new belief - field service privilege can be taken away if person styles hair or wears clothing in a way that is deemed metrosexual.i was pretty much dumbfounded.. this was posted on another thread, so i decided to start a new topic about this.

  i think this is amazing!

  i wish this was in place when i was a kid.

  Baptized niece crowned prom queen. Could her dad loose his MS appt?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  so my niece (not thru my brother but rather my wife) had been talking about going to her prom.

  the family had privately been somewhat doubtful that she would be allowed to go.

  the problem was that they kept promising she would be allowed but history has shown us that her parents tend to get her excited about things and then drop the denial on her at the last minute.

  Right, Smiddy,

  I believe it's called "tinkering."  It isn't as though any of their so-called "specialists" have as much as a correspondence-course background in Hebrew/Greek.

  Another "known unknown" for me: 1919

  by Doug Mason in

  having grappled with this question, i decided to turn to the combined expertise at jwn.

  my questions relate to the watchtower's self-determined appointment in 1919:.

  how does the watchtower arrive at the year 1919 for its appointment?

  Hi Doug,

  I believe Paul Grundy, over at jwfacts.com, recently treated this topic; please have a look.  I don't recall the details; but trust me: as is typical, it rests on the flimsiest of premises.

  "Hmm its gone from two 318 page books to a 32 page booklet,young people cant be asking as many questions these days or could it be that they cant afford to reprint the 318 page versions LOL LOL"

  Why not save even more pages: a simple post-it note: "when in doubt, just say "NO" to anything that's fun, rewarding, or life-affirming!
