Very interesting commens Rijk.

After writing my DA letter in 2011 and quitting the Watchtower, I turned to Jesus as my Savior and have been attending an evangelical church.

Last Sunday our pastor had a sermon about the end times.

He pointed to circa 2033...his reasoning went along like this:

Jesus died and was buried for 2 days, then came back (Resurrection).

In the Bible 1 day = 1000 years. 2 days = 2000 years.

So if Jesus was resurrected circa 33 c.e, and He comes back in 2 days (2000 years), perhaps we can expect his return in 2033 c.e.

Nobody knows the date, but it surely ties in well with WEF/Davos' 2030 agenda and their rush to get this done by that deadline. Satan has planted it into their minds to rush to their defeat.

I also agree that 2020, things have been definitely off and events seem so unnaturally rushed according to a set agenda that imo is unprecedented.

Thanks so much for the answers so far.

Wantingtruth - I'll definitely consider some of those points.

Enoughisenough - No mention of 1914 or 607, it is so simple and no calculations about anything related to the end.

Thanks for suggesting that thread.

Joe - I think I'll avoid that if I want the convos to continue :)

Vander - thanks for the excellent questions. You know the discussion is so basic that I wonder when I can even approach that level with them without scaring them off ... I'm playing dumb to keep playing the game.

WING - Yepp, out 12 years and this forum was instrumental in my quick exit. So thankful for all of you!

I am also shocked at how the spiritual food has evaporated. I was also born in the '80s, we used to say the FDS dispenses food at proper time, milk being for new ones and meat for mature Christians. I see nowadays that food consists of starving rations of baby formula. What a joke!

Diogenesister - Questions...okay keeping that in mind.

Careful - I'll keep this up as long as possible. I want them to spend time with me. Get them to think outside the box. My only fear is her bringing along someone who knew me. In that case, I'll check them from the peephole and pretend I'm not home :)

Carla - Thank you :) , wish you well, too.

Hello everyone

I used to post here under the name Nobleheart but forgot the old password, so put up a new account (Nobleheart1).

Was a JW (2002-2011), ended up writing a DA letter. I am a Christian (since leaving the org).

I had not received any visit from any JW, until about 2 weeks ago. Our sign at the door (with my lastname) was too old, so my husband removed it.

That's when I got 2 JW "sisters" at the door. I realized so many things have changed since 2011. Preaching is looking at the cellphone and listening to clips. Those clips are so silly, I have no idea what's so special or complex about them that they cannot summarize in their own words. Why would someone listen to a stranger explain why Bible reading is important to them when the JW at the door can provide their own experience? It is baffling to say the least.

When I quit the org, we were using the Bible teach book for studies, but now they have an "interactive" book (Enjoy life forever), which you can download in your phone. First you download the JW app, which has the library of currently approved publications. The lessons are so elementary, they're grade 3 level. The dumbing down is unbelieveable. Also there is literally no mention of Jesus in any of the lesson titles. They told me I did not need to hold my Bible, the JW app had the best Bible version, updated and more accurate, and no need for hard copy as all the scriptures are a click away. I was shocked because as a JW, it was all about books/written publications. So far, it has all been about downloading stuff. They only left me with 1 tiny leaflet...in about 3-4 visits.

We went through lesson 1 together (so I'm a Bible study now :) Why am I doing it? Well, as a JW, meeting in service a born again Christian who showed me all the failed prophecies about the end, contributed to me leaving. So in a way, I'd like to help another escape. Also, I'd like to help someone turn to Jesus instead of an organization, like I did.

She gave me the link to a Zoom meeting, which I followed last Sunday. They had a "special talk"...which I did not find special at all. More of the same "do more, unworthy slave". So why would someone from the territory find that encouraging or informative?

The Watchtower study was so diluted too. Vast majority were giving 1 sentence answers. Is that the norm now? I remember preparing well researched answers from the library, which were at least 2-3 sentences long. I noticed both brothers and sisters were almost in a hurry, who'd provide the shortest, dumbest answer...

I am looking forward to her next visit "study". I asked her a few questions but she said not to hurry...that we'll provide all the info you need in time. But no skipping, because as in school we go from grade 1 to 2 and so forth...(mind you, I used to be a full time pioneer before I sent my DA letter)

I wonder if I was ever so arrogant as a JW to assume the Householder was a grade 1 level and I was the teacher.

Looking forward to any suggestions any might have regarding what to bring up with them next time.

Have you been vaccinated? Have you had any side effects?

hi all.. i'm 42 years old.

i have had two jabs of the oxford-astrazeneca vaccine.. after my first jab i experienced flu-like symptoms - shivering, wanted to lie down in a dark room, etc.. i experienced no side effects after my second shot.. how about you?.

how many jabs have you had?.

Nobleheart1

I'll be in the minority I guess.

Haven't gotten any dose and don't plan to.

Most people's mild side effects were worse than my experience with covid. I still have the antibodies.

My question is how many of you have tested for antibodies before going forthe vaccine, and especially after to confirm your immune system reacted and formed neutralizing antibodies?

What Do You Think About The Government Going Door to Door To Get You Vaccinated?

i hate anyone bothering me going door to door and house to house.

maybe it’s my jw background?

i dunno..

Nobleheart1

As a exJW from Europe the entire pandemic has been familiar: no holidays, no association with others, no pubs/late night activities, all entertainment was staying home (eating + TV).

But with the new d2d initiative it sounds like they copied it right from JWs playbook. I saw a document from a friend in Oregon instructing these knocking volunteers to: ignore no solicit signs, if people are busy leave a flyer, don't take insults personally but carry on, try to first understand concerns then jump in with info and last but not least keep detailed reports/spreadsheets of people's status, feedback and outcome .

If you insist this is for our good and there's no sinister plan going on, I think you're beyond help. I live in an ex communist country, this charade is the same as spying and snooping on your fellowmen, of course even goody 2 shoes neighbors would snitch on you for the country's security and prosperity. Me and most of my family & friends are appalled this is being allowed to take place in the United States of America, I mean if you guys forfeit or give up your rights and freedoms we're all doomed. Please fight for your children and indeed all of us.

Thanks for the info Anna Marina and the great video Mean Mr.Mustard

Hello

I used to be a member here about 10 years ago, but forgot the old password and after made a new account adding a number to my old username.

After 10 years out of the org, my family are still in.

Are they only printing 1 Wt + 1 Awake for the entire year? I am shocked...what about the abundance of spiritual food we should be ever grateful to the FDS?
