  What Happened to 2034?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some years ago the wt started putting it out there that noah took 120 years to build the ark, and since the wt was the new ark, it may allow them up to 2034 (1914 + 120) before armageddon.

  it could have been their new 1975 to get excited about, but i don't see any mention of it at all now.

  what happened during the two decades since last i observed anything about the wt?.

  I would not be surprised if we see the mention of 2034 in the next years.

  Real reasons behind this change?

  by Gorb in

  just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

  a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

  maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

  Could it be related to high prices of paper that did not correlate with donations. They cannot say: preach less. So, they stop the reporting. Even, if not much literature is placed, every JW needs stocks. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WPU0911

  Do you play the LOTTERY?

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  jw view gambling as a sin and sadly people get addicted to gambling causing them financial and health problems.

  but is playing a couple of bucks a week on some lottery tickets actually gambling?

  what do you have to lose?

  When we helped an MS moving, a lottery receipt came to daylight behind the fridge. Was a little embarrassing. But no consequences followed as far as I remember.

  My posting have always been on-topic.

  User should not think that the thumbs-up/down reflect in any way the evaluation of the users of this board. The tendency is being manipulated.

  Is there punishment for calling a user a dick?

  I have also been censored this way. My opinion has not been approved. Let's see how I will be disciplined for this post.

  i hope the truth about the covid vaccines becomes public knowledge as it does now in australia.

  senator malcom roberts tells it all in his speach.

  "I never got jabbed but I survived without any problems because I ate a Snickers bar every day, and that is what protected me."

  Not really, unless you have a medical study with significant test-/compare groups.

  I notice that I am on a board of former members of a specific cult that preached against „mainstream medicine“ and had exclusive knowledge about world events.

  It's sounds as false as the GB constantly saying "We all love you verrry much!" at the end of every broadcast! *shudder*

  This reminds me of Erich Mielke at end of the GDR: https://www.ddr-museum.de/en/blog/archive/erich-mielke

  In Germany, they are in a position that would allow them to have their „membership fee“ raised by the state as a „church tax“. So far, they gave resisted to use that right. I wonder if they are considering it on the long run.
