Every century has seen wars, famines, pestilence, and kids acting up.
It was easy to believe this crap when the only information you got was from the WT and the Platform.

the bible clearly says a generation is 40 years (exodus and job) the 1st half of the last century saw wars, famines, pestilence.
if 1914 was the correct starting date the end should have came by the mid 1950's ( which the witnesses believed at the time) this fact alone proves beyond a shadow of a doubt.
jesus was only speaking of the events of the 1st century..

yet another serena williams story about her not celebrating a holiday.
she claims she is a jw even though most here say she is not because she wasn't baptized.
someone ought to do a real story on her hypocrisy.
I dont get what she thinks is the upside of claiming to be a JW even though she is not?
just ran across this beautiful example of circular reasoning from the watchtower.w85 12/1 31. .
questions from readers.
was the apostle paul part of the christian governing body?.
The Bible provides only limited detail about the composition of the early governing body,
Meaning ZERO
There is NO information about a GB that in anyway resembles what the org has now - NONE.
WT says - There is NO Trinity cuz the word does not appear in the Bible. And if it was so important it would.
Governing Body does NOT appear in the bible EITHER, and isnt that a something kinda important, something you would want lots of details about since all life in the future would hinge on these guys?
eyesused2dabdub - 100% right - its just a bad story book that has enslaved billions.
i have always wondered how basic things that we do to ourselves will be handled as "perfect" human beings.. i recall someone here had a quote from an old wt that said that if we fall off a roof or something that there will be some "force" to soften the fall and we will not be injured.. but, as a perfect human, if we travel to mexico and drink water from the tap, will we get the squirts, flying shits, montezuma's revenge, or whatever you wish to call it?
maybe we will be protected as perfect human beings and have colons that also are perfect.
but who knows.. just pondering these common things that we take for granted.. rub a dub.
Sadly living on earth in the way most JWs envision would be a living HELL.
the is on page 4 of the 2014 yearbook.. a letter from the governing body.
how delighted we are to write you at the beginning of this momentous year!
by late 2014, a whole century will have passed since our beloved king jesus christ began ruling in the midst of his enemies.—ps.
Im just wondering why its taking more than 100 years for the end to come?
Was god waiting for this "best" bible to come out before he got the ball rolling?
Oh yea I forgot - CULT!

I cant wait to never stub my toe and to hug a lion!
recently, i wrote a sister, my bible study conductor, an email just telling her that i thought of her, and i thanked her for being a part of some milestones in my life many many years ago.
(for those who are reading my post for the first time, i was a very impressionable teenager at that time and i had the chance to live in their country for a while, spent much time with her, got to know her way of living, and essentially she became my life's mentor.
closer to me than family.
Laced with GUILT.
then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .
thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.
i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.
I like the Pink ones with the Gold Lettering:)
am a newcomer.
had a starnge metting in local news last night.. check it out.
actual info starts at 50;12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plxdjs13l0k.
SO funny - he says after talking about how the nations are going to turn on Babylon the Great - "you've heard it a 1000 times"
SO FUNNY - YES for 115 years of Kingdom rule :)
asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.
everybody says there is this race problem.
everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.
The thing is....that is not really true. This would make sense if we were actually created by God, where he would somehow make us all the same.
Think is - it really is true.
