Look at christendoms take on revelation, Daniel. Ezekiel. Going back hundreds of years. On a different forum there was a reference to the small horn. I foolishly thought it was exclusive to WT. Wrong. They take an idea, massage it and run with it

Remember the Revelation book?
by wozza ini recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.
i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.
who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Isn't It Ironic That Many People Now Wish That Many of the Things China is Making Would Actually Be Made in Mexico?
by RubaDub inlet me think of a few advantages to having mexico do more manufacturing for us:.
- low cost labor .
- just drive around or jump over the wall to see family and friends.

A better made in USA product. old washers and fridges lasted 30 to 40 years. not now . Some of it is reengineering and bean counters instead if the workman. Craftsmanship is being lost.
Even the paint I just bought has such thin metal can you cant replace the lids tightly.

This isnt official yet here. It is just that some inept elder got my number mixed in with the spiritual leaders. I dont recognize the numbers, ID doesnt have a name. Just a list and a " will do". They are having non stop elder meetings and the CO is in the mix somewhere
As usual they have no clue running a real charity

I liked the babylon book. At least freddy kept his story straight. BUT it all came true and nothing happened.
That next one was impossible to follow.
Did anyone mention the dust and mud at Cedar Point?

Called a friend. First words were this will be the best one ever.
I am sure there will be rules about dressing up no eating, and certainly no glass of rum

I would rather offer beans to someone than give money to mother. But I do wonder which widows will be overlooked this time? There are professional leeches around. One elder at least couldn't keep a job before this economy hit.

Evidence of WT bad intent - How they handled changing the meaning of "porneia"
by AlainAlam insorry, long post :) i'm considering evidence that at least at some point, the gb/watchtower had bad intentions.
i would like to share the following: *** w74 11/15 p. 703 questions from readers ***do lewd practices on the part of a married person toward that one’s own mate constitute a scriptural basis for the offended mate to get a divorce?there are times when lewd practices within the marriage arrangement would provide a basis for a scriptural divorce.. based on this, some jw chose to divorce.
but then:*** w83 3/15 p. 30 honor godly marriage!

There were lots of divorces some time back, every one the man was aaid to be turned queer i wonder if it was the "unnatural " definition being misapplied
