  the annual meeting of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses will be in october 2014.. .. in november 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of november 2013 watchtower page 16 paragraph 17 says:.

  "at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.".

  I find it very interesting that several have reported that DO's and CO's have mentioned that something big is coming...I haven't read that on here before so the Annual Meeting in October will certainly be interesting...in a way...

  DA does not call for a JC...when someone DA's the elders are supposed to go round and try and "readjust" the person to come back but there is no JC...it is the persons choice to DA hence the elders have no say in it...whilst DF is where you are ousted by the elders...DA is where you leave.

  Taking blood is in effect DA since by your actions you are saying you no longer want to be a dub...

  i of course grew up with star wars in ther 80s and the 3 star treks runing at once in the 90s' so shows depicting aliens never bothered me.. however in 95 i read 'hyperspace' by micheo kuku.

  my dad picked it up and scanned it saying: "i see no reason jehovah didn't create 2 dimentional creatures we cant see.

  my dad like alot of the book.

  According to recent NASA predictions they say that there could be 100 million worlds in our Galaxy alone that could host "life" as they say every star within our Galaxy could have at least one planet...ergo there are 100 million stars in our Galaxy and with one planet each then one could host life.

  Add the fact there are billions and billions of Galaxies each with hundreds of millions of stars in each then you are talking that the probability of life in some form on another planet is pretty much guarenteed.

  Ergo there is no god...

  With the August campaign to promote jw.org I wonder if they are going to rethink their main methods of the ministry...less door to door work? Less printing and placing of mags but redirect to the website?

  The reminders in the last WT quote seems to suggest it is to do with the way they organise and do their work...

  The Annual Meeting of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses will be in October 2014.

  .

  In November 2013, just after the last one they published this now famous statement in the 15th of November 2013 Watchtower Page 16 Paragraph 17 says:

  "At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

  .

  Then, in the 15th of May 2014 Watchtower Page 29 Paragraph 15 it says:

  "If we are to have Jehovah’s favor and blessing as individuals, we must support his organization and accept adjustments in our understanding of the Scriptures."

  .

  And now, after reading the newly released 15th of October 2014 Watchtower I read this on page 24 paragraph 8:

  "Faithful servants of Jehovah have always been eager to submit to theocratic direction. (Read Hebrews 13:7, 17.) We may initially lack full understanding of the reasons for carrying out our assigned work in a particular way. Nevertheless, we are fully aware of the benefits of cooperating with Jehovah in any adjustments that he sees fit to make."
  .
  .
  .
  That magazine will be studied in December 2014, a few months after the October Annual Meeting of the Governing Body where they normally announce any "adjustments" or "new light".

  .

  Taking all three points that I have quoted it would seem to suggest there is going to be a big doctrinal change soon and they are laying the groundwork for it to be accepted by the average JW.

  as a former jehovah's witness, i now sit back and marvel how well i had been suckered into this religion.

  and to think that their own worst critic was their own publications.. in 1968 some 43 years had lapsed since their last firm prediction on when armageddon would occur.

  they had predicted 1925 would see an end to the worlds suffering and a new world for the true believers, i.e.

  the october watchtower 2014 is now up on jw org.

  regarding the new covenant they write.

  the governing body sets the scene in the first article by stating how they are like jesus and as humans they are sinless in god's eyes.. then on page 24 they state this.

  Like the GB many elders are captive to the concept that it is God's Organisation thus no matter what the evidence points to they cannot see it or act on it...

  As a former elder once you begin to doubt that the GB are the FDS then that is when elders start to come out and the house of cards comes tumbling down but until you doubt or remove that concept that the GB are in the hands of Jehoover you ain't coming out...

  Evolution: A Satanic Theory

  there is an excellent new article at jehovah's trumpet.... friends, the following article is not about masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, or homosexuality so it may not be appropriate for children.

  please use godly wisdom when deciding if your child is mature enough to consider this material.

  we are going to have a frank discussion about the theory of evolution.... .

  The article on the daughter shunning her 80 year old mother is amazing...read the comments too...dubs believe that site is real and the author of the site very smartly points them to jwfacts.com but in a way that seems to defend "the truth".

  The posts are very well written and is exactly what is needed by some who are still in...

  The kitten being shunned is hilarious too...
