  Hi MacH! I remember a post you made years ago on the subject called "The 1900 year old Faithful and Discreet Slave" or something like that. It's WONDERFUL to read your post and all your research. With more recent updates too!

  I can't understand how some JWs will not even blink an eye over the "new light" regarding who the faitful and discreest slave is, according to the men who make up GB, governing over MILLIONS of JWs. It STILL baffles me! ESPECAILLY with all the history you just posted.

  peace,

  MTS & Gilead: Can we talk about how much of a FAILURE these 2 schools were/are?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know quite a few from both of these schools who basically crashed and burned once they got into their assignments.

  graduates of these schools would be thrown into foreign territorities or remote areas without a good visible means of support and would get emotionally, mentally, financially burned out.

  post your experiences or of those you know that went to these pitiful excuses for educational institutions..

  What apostates fail to recognize is...

  by nananana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.

  no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.

  no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

  Tell us all here, just what "this good news" is that no other organization preaches. It certainly is NOT the SAME message that Christ and HIS followers preached in the Bible. We already know that.

  i didn't know eric particularly well, and i feel terrible that i didn't reach out to him more or try to help him while i still had the opportunity.. i feel extremely helpless, but the least i can do is help others remember him who knew him better.. here is a video i've uploaded to youtube in his honor.... .

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a0imd6dng.

  i hope it helps us as we mourn a much-loved member of this forum.. .
