i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.
"for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!
but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.
LUHE, now compare this contrasting statement

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.
currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.
any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.
I can't think of any at my hall who would be willing to travel to another hall if the local one got sold.

im still in and i cant help but feel nervous as more and more changes are coming forward.
i cant help but feel that they are starting to get more hardcore again.
let me explain.
Oh yes, here's another film:
*** g79 3/22 p. 10 The Kind of Places Discos Are ***
“Saturday Night Fever” The main character of the movie lives for just one thing—to shine at the disco on Saturday night. The sexual escapades of the disco crowd are featured, including oral sex, which is performed out in the car during interludes to the dancing. The language is of the filthiest kind. Yet all of this is presented as normal—the way of life among those who go to discos.

despite 2005 being a very popular year for vacuums vacuuming is now very unpopular with 0 mentions- an all time low.. awake magazine:.

.
Londo111 How many publishers does it take to run a vacuum?
1. None. They are waiting on Jehovah.
2. It depends on how many the GB tell them are needed. (Note: This number may change at any time)
3. If they are elders they will assign two to investigate it.

There are 80 references to "slave" in the recent WT article *** w13 7/15 p. 20 “Who Really Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?” ***
80 times in an hour is more than once per minute for a whole hour.
And that isn't including all of the congregation answers that parrot the paragraphs.
It's likely that this word was repeated every 20 seconds for a whole hour. Brainwashing anyone?

They also came down on music.
*** g93 2/22 p. 26 Can Music Really Hurt Me? ***
Take heavy-metal music—a particularly noxious form of hard rock that is usually played at ear-splitting volume. Heavy-metal bands typically sport names like Poison, Skid Row, Guns N’ Roses, and Slayer. Time magazine said: “The band names alone conjure up images of mayhem, torture and death.” The same can be said of the horrifying artwork that adorns the album covers and that often depicts satanic symbols.

j dubb The only time movies were mentioned by name from the platform was when somebody went off script. I know certain scifi/fantasy movies were mentioned as COs and higher ups in the circuit had their pet peeve movies to bug people about, but I know of no talk outline that mentioned movie titles.
*** g83 7/8 p. 27 Christ or E.T.? *** E.T.—The Extra-Terrestrial burst on the scene in the United States this past summer, attracting theater audiences in record numbers...
Despite its seemingly Christian message, however, the movie subtly condones youthful misbehavior. In an early scene we find youths playing “Dungeons and Dragons” in a smoke-filled room with a lighted cigarette on the table. Later on, when E.T. gets drunk sampling beer, and Elliott in telepathic sympathy feels the effects, it is all portrayed as something cute. Further, some of the language used by these children is gross profanity. This, along with the supernatural aspects of the movie, has bothered many Christians.
*** g85 5/22 p. 23 My Basketball Career—Replaced by Two Other Loves! *** One night I went to a movie with a friend. It was called The Omen. One of those scary science-fiction-type movies. It involved the demons. When I walked out of that movie, I was scared to death. It was about Satan’s child.

i don't know where to start.
i got married a year and half ago.
some months into the marriage things where discovered.
Ask your question a different way: How will you manage if you continue in this abusive relationship for another 2, 3, 5, 10+ years? Will things improve? Will you have a breakdown, or worse?
Sometimes the toughest option is better long term.
I'm sorry to hear how you have been treated by the congregation, but to be fair, your elders are not trained to deal with these problems. They are merely told to keep divisions down and encouraqe the flock to pray, go to meetings and go on F.Service.Anything beyond this is beyond them.
Speak with your proper counsellors and listen to their advice. Make your choices not just for today, but for the long term.

it was explained that the faithful slave is the governing body, while the domestics are all those who are fed spiritually, whether of the anointed or of the other sheep..
the july 15, 2013 study edition of the watchtower stated on page 22, paragraph 10: in keeping with jesus pattern of feeding many through the hands of a few, that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food during christs presence.
throughout the last days, the anointed brothers who make up the faithful and discreet slave have served together at headquarters.
Jesus returned in 1914.
Jesus will return in the future as well.
These are different returnings, one to claim his kingship and the next to reign as king.
I don't know where he went in between the two returnings.
