I don't want to spend half an hour watching this, so can anyone give me the four scriptures used to arrive at 1914 from 607 please. I used to explain this from d2d but it's been over 26 years. I know the first one is Daniel 4. Something about a time, times, and half a time. Then a day for a year. I know it's just gobbledegook but just in case I get the opportunity to talk to my JW brother or sisters about it. 😕 Yeah pigs will fly. Thanks in anticipation.

I like a man with a full beard, it's very masculine. To think they can dictate to men whether they shave or not, and people say it's not a cult! -

I don't remember anything about it I'm afraid. Wouldn't the Borg just say it was physical imperfection due to Adam's sin? -

Perhaps it's the whole 101 years since Jesus started ruling thing. The Borg really shot themselves in the foot making a big thing of the 100 last year. This year the R + F must all have thought surely something is goIng to happen now! And now the year is over....... -

It's whatever you want it to be punky. Personally I've just finished work for six days and I'm doin' nowt for six days, I'm absolutely shattered. So I'm going to read and watch telly. Wonderful! I'm making a roast dinner on Xmas day because we like roasties and pud. My daughter's a vegetarian so we're having goats cheese tart with it. Nobody's coming round which suits me, feet up, large glass of wine or three. Had four meals out with friends and relatives this month, it was fun. Do whatever you want to punky, that's the great thing you can choose now! -

She sent me 'Return to Jehovah' I sent her a Christmas card
by Xanthippe init just felt so good to say to a jw i don't feel the guilt this booklet says i must be feeling.
i don't feel guilty for having a great big christmas tree or letting my daughter have birthdays, easter eggs, dress up at halloween, have sleepovers and friends, i told her.
i only feel guilty about not contributing to live aid and bandaid and giving the money to a cult instead.

Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching
by thedepressedsoul ini have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.
jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.
they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

I pioneered for 10 years, my husband for 15. When we left we were in debt because when we were short of money we had to use a credit card. We lived in near poverty watching every penny. Jehovah does not provide for pioneers I assure you, it's a myth. Don't believe those convention stories.
There were people who were kind to us and gave us meals. Some people gave us a meal every week. The credit should go to those good people, not to a god.
These stories are just designed to get more people working for them instead of going to college where they would become far too clever to take that nonsense any more.
