Oh, and if wars, famine, pestilence etc is worse now than at any other time, who is going to cry 'Peace and Security' at such a time?
So how can the end be 'soon'?

Great review as always Blondie.
No wonder the Scriptures counsel us not to put our trust in man, "to whom no salvation belongs"! (Ps. 146:3)
And the Governing Body is made up of?

Insight In the Scriptures.....is there anything I can use in these volumes?
by insearchoftruth inwhen i got home today i noticed another stack of stuff on the kitchen table, more wt garbage, including the english version of reasoning from the scriptures as well as a copy of insight in the scriptures that sister gave my wife.
my wife said she wanted to 'read the bible', i asked a simple question why she needed all the other books to accomplish that...she said just to provide her some assistance.
she was also stating today how it really does not matter how people interpret the scriptures, because there is only one correct interpretation....i wanted to get sick...... is there anything in these books, since they are from 1988, that i can use to my benefit....for example does it talk about the annointed and the generation where i could ask her to look it up as compared to the new light..... just wondering, may be reaching here, but anything would help!

All they can really do is just make up other excuses
Jehovahs Witnesses (all the ones I ever met anyhow) are so good at making excuses for the WT.
Seems to me that no excuses should be necessary for the 'truth™'.

Nice one chickpea.
I can never understand the WT's attitude toward this as they write so much about Jehovah of armies.

announcement at service meeting
by heathen ini actually went to the service meeting last night and low and behold the announcement was about the wtbts not charging interest on the loans on kingdom halls anymore but they still had to pay back the principle balance , i never knew they charged interest but think that it was a very dishonest thing for them to do to begin with .
you have to borrow money to pay for a building that the wtbts owns?
to charge interest is a very worldly practice since it was against mosaic law to do so and clearly jesus would never have asked anything of the sort .

Possible reason?
“I’m seeing dozens of separate problems united by a theme,” Grassley said. “The theme is
some individuals are exploiting vagueness or silence in or a lack of enforcement of the laws
governing tax-exempt groups to enrich themselves rather than serve the public. It’s unseemly for
tax-exempt groups to function this way. It’s also unfair to the taxpayers who subsidize that behavior.
That’s why I continue to try to tighten the laws governing tax-exempt groups and encourage the IRS
to step up enforcement of the existing laws and go after bad actors.”

by blondie inmarriage and parenthood in this time of the end .
responsible marriage .
hence, those who keep on working hard to preserve their marriage because they want to remain faithful to their wedding vow deserve respect and loving help from the christian congregation.

Wonderful.
Less JW's having chidren = Less bought up in the faith.
Less bought up in the faith + Less converted = Less JW's.
Less JW's = Potential end of the WTBTS.

Does Someone Have to be Religious to Be a Good Person?
by flipper inthis is something my wife and i were discussing the other day .
in a general view of religious people - most religious people feel it makes them holier, better, or on a higher moral plane claiming to worship god in an organized religion.
in the jehovah's witnesses view - the outside world is evil, and they claim that if you get away from their religion , and " fall away" a person is doomed to go astray, doing various sundry things like murder, adultery, stealing, orgies, because " they claim " that they have fallen " out of " god's favor.

Personally I find 'I am good because I WANT to be' is infinately preferable to ' I am good becase my religion says I HAVE to be'.
