Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?
by blablabluh ini’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.
i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.
anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

Seriously, when my parents were baptised in the 1940's, they were told that their Little George would not have to go to school in this old system.
In a previous congregation, we had a guy who made a deathbed promise to his mother - in the late 1930's - that he would never marry "in this system" because Armageddon was so close.
Guy was still a member of the congregation - and still single - 60+ years later.
One of the saddest things I think I've ever seen was when he showed me a faded black & white picture of his sweetheart from 60 or 65 years earlier.

USA, fuggedaboutit. Totally and completely verboten.
Elsewhere, maybe. In some Scandinavian countries, full beards (well trimmed) are OK, but not for assembly or convention speakers. I would imagine a well-trimmed goatee would also be OK.

Further thoughts on the thread dealing with wandering Jews pooping outside the camp
by Doug Mason ini think the excellent thread on the wandering jews having to defecate outside the camp could have explored further implications, such as animal faeces, and also the fact that when women are in a group they cycle (menstruate) together.
imagine what the place was like with their attitude towards a menstruating woman, or with the disposal of the "rags".how did they dispose of all the placentas, etc.
?where are the skeletons of the millions of people and animals?

Have you stopped beating your wife yet, TruthMatters?
Something tells me TM is not quite at the age where he could legally drive a car, let alone get married.

The Covid-19 Vaccines do NOT Alter Human Genes, despite the myths to the contrary
by Disillusioned JW in["covid-19 vaccines can’t alter your dna, here’s why"]
can covid-19 vaccines alter my dna?
no, covid-19 vaccines do not alter your dna.

Just popping in to note how fascinatingly close the attitude and reasoning of anti-vax proponents on this site parallels the anti-vax attitude and reasoning of literally one century ago, as (tying in the JW connection for this JW board) written up extensively in the "Golden Age" magazines from (yes) a full century ago.
Perhaps a few radio biola treatments will prevent or cure COVID?

Oh, the "my career path is to be a JW Broadcasting superstar within 20 years, then move up to GB helper, then maybe I can get onto the GB at an age even younger than Sanderson was" look?
I'd bet you $1,000,000,000 he is "partaking" with that goal in mind.

" A life without hope is no life for me".
What if that "hope" is demonstrably false and in fact impossible?

Interesting Find with Chronology
by Kelley959 ini hope this is in the right area.
i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.
for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

Reminds me of the conversation I had with a JW elder. He was telling me about all his study projects, trying to apply numerology (of course he didn't use that word) to try to figure out when the "end" would come. He went into great detail about this number of years counting from such and such date, and this implies that which, when you consider what Artaxerxes told his cupbearer, the "end" must come between November and January, now we just need to figure out the year....
I simply asked him "so how have your calculations panned out so far?"
I just got a dirty scowl and a change of topic.
