someone associated with wikipedia has compiled this list of the many failed predictions of christ's return.
the predictions seem to come from many believers across a spectrum of various religions.
it does however, miss one that we would be aware of, freddy franz's 1975.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/predictions_and_claims_for_the_second_coming.
the meeting was held for elders at the Greenacre Assembly Hall,
No wonder the rank-and-file JWs were not invited to attend!
Also, no wonder that tape recordings of this talk were not circulated around the congregations, as were tape recordings of Crazy Fred's spiel about 1975, which he delivered in February of that same year.
(Those that heard both talks agreed that what he said at the Greenacres Assembly Hall was 180 degrees different to what he had said six months earlier).
i saw this this on the news tonight :.
you would think the ladies down their would be able to keep their sexual urges under control wouldn`t you ?

Having spent much of my life living and working in remote locations, such reports are all too believable. (And I regret to have to say that).

Just as long as “fake narrative” is not something we would rather not hear.
i was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..
Hi again, LUHE
Sufficient to say that Russian and Ukrainian are two completely different languages! (Albeit with a common origin).

Hi LUHE,
Both countries use slightly different forms of the Cyrillic alphabet. There are four characters in the Russian alphabet which don't appear in the Ukranian one, and conversely there are four characters in the Ukranian alphabet which don't appear in the Russian one.(This from a Ukranian work colleague, who is fluent also in Russian).

Russians, Ukrainians and Belorussians are certainly related peoples. However, when Ukrainians speak a different language, and even use a different alphabet, it is a bit hard to believe the claim that they are the “same” people as Russians.
Also, intermarriage between people of different countries is not at all uncommon. I am guilty of that myself!

“Dividing the USSR”.
The Soviet Union itself was just the old empire of the Tsars, under a different flag. During its dissolution in 1991, you don’t think the Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Uzbeks, Kazakhs and the many other subject peoples had something to say about that?

Several of my work colleagues, whose origins are in the Sub-continent, feel quite strongly that India is moving towards becoming a Hindu state.
so was a virgin when i got married but my wife studied later in life and had been married for 6 months and had two boyfriends in her past.
my strict witness mother hated my wife and thought she was not good enough for me.
she thought all worldly women were dirty whores who cannot keep their vaginas to themselves.
The JWS have this complex that they are the only people who are "good".
It does seem to be a human thing, though - Catholic people I knew had similar feelings about themselves, likewise for members of some of the more fundamentalist denominations.
it was the summer of '72.
i was 24 but had been the presiding overseer or congregation servant of a small congregation in the county seat of an arkansas county for about 3 years.. my regular pioneer wife of nearly four years was big and pregnant, with our attempts at birth control unsuccessful.. one of my wife's several bible studies was with a young woman named brenda whom my wife had encountered in door to door work.. brenda had two young children she could barely handle and was married to a very countryfied arkie named henry who worked as a chicken catcher, one of the most difficult jobs at the local chicken plant.. brenda eventually revealed that she'd been raised as a jw, but was never baptized, having left home to marry henry at age 14. she spoke of her family in texas, mentioning her mother and two older sisters, all jws she said.. one morning, just before the meeting for field service, we noticed a small car in kingdom hall parking lot.
my wife and i were parked to one side of the hall in our aluminum nashua house trailer.. two young women got out of the car and soon joined us for the meeting for service, identifying themselves as brenda's sisters from texas.. the two girls, ages 17 and 20, were distractingly beautiful, with the eldest decked out like a magnificent southern belle including hat and heels, her high-end clothing accentuating her very obvious curves.. with no one else showing up for field service, it ended up just the four of us in the car group with the two texas girls in the back seat.. starting our time at a not-at-home, the 20 year old asked if she could accompany me to "hear my presentation.
Hi TMS,
I wasn’t accusing you of figuratively throwing stones, and apologise if I gave that impression.
It was the JWs in general I was referring to, when they are wont to criticise the LDS for appointing very young men as elders.
