it has been mentioned before but since we have been discussing environmental issues on another thread, i thought it might be timely to discuss rev 11:18 which has recently become a popular text for those christians concerned about environmental threats of pollution and climate change.

is this passage being interpreted correctly?

did the writer somehow anticipate the modern environmental situation, or did he intend something more in keeping with the bible's general concerns of morality and sin?.

Its more twisting of the facts after the prediction. Just like in 1914 WW1 was never predicted but it was glomed onto to support the date. Its like a psychic saying tomorrow a ship will sink and a plane crashes and you say see I am spot on.

it actually took me a few years to finally leave the organization so i was mentally out for a while before i simply stopped all meetings altogether.. how long did it take you to finally make the break?

?.

For me an most all those I know it was a processes. There is no waking up one day and saying its fake. It takes a lot of research to find its history. That was pre internet. Now its easier and faster to do so.

We live better today than at any time in history. We now have an avg LE of around 82, 200 years ago maybe 35. What would only be for the very wealth now the most poor have TV, AC food ect all brought to you by fossil fuel. The issue is not what or how we consume, its the population pure and simple. You can not put 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. There are 8 billion people on the planet and growing. Does not matter if everyone only threw out a quart jar a week of trash at some point the shear amount of people doing it will out weigh the ability of our environment to keep up. So all this we need solar, Wind BS does not mean crap. What we get from oil most idiots who say we need to get off of it don't know what we get from it. They think Gas and cars and live in a city where they don't drive. Well we get everything from Tooth paste to the soles of your shoes from oil. From the pesticides that keep crops from being decimated to the plane the few you to see your family. Solar and wind will not give us what we need to live like we do. If nature does not kill off a lot of humans by disease or something else and we keep expanding uncontrolled it will end badly. My prediction is we will see it end badly I just hope its past my sell by date.

I used to talk to my old business partner who was an elder. He would not budge on the idea that Jehovah put it in the minds of the other elders to pick a person for an elder position. LOL. When you feel you have been chosen its impossible to tell someone that its all BS. He loved to think he was chosen by Jehovah. LOL. I made fun of him for years every day. But someone who threw his own family I.E. Brother under the bus for a cult deserves it.

What’s The Worst Thing You Have Heard About A JW?

by minimus in

jw
friends

there was a guy that became an elder and he was a father of 8 children including 4 or 5 girls.

he was a little bit on the self righteous side and would counsel people a lot, especially families about how they could be better witnesses.

one day his wife dropped a bombshell!!!

rickroll

I knew a couple who told me they got into swinging. Got DFed and one wife almost ran off with the other husband. Elders who were gay, that is the extent of out of the box I have seen. My Grandfather knew a man in Main when he was in the SP service who went to someones door the guy was very nasty and the JW grabbed a shovel near the door and hit him and killed him with it. That was in the 60s I think.

Why Aren`t Active JW`s concerned about WT/JW`s /GB`s ,Revisions of their Own Early History Of C.T.Russell ?

by smiddy3 in

i was just thinking about a couple of jw`s who came to my door a few weeks ago and they had no idea who charles taze russell was one woman was in her 40`s and the other was in her late 20`s if i`m any judge of female ages.. and neither of them had any idea of the religions early history or what they taught and what they believed in back then.. and one of the main reasons for that i believe is because the wt?jw religion continually revise their past history according to whatever the current beliefs are held.. if you compare what was believed and taught back in the 1880`s with what is believed and taught today you would find no comparison.. it has completely changed ,sometimes in a subtle way,but no the less changed.. the excuse of "the light is getting brighter and brighter as the day draws near " doesn`t cut it when you consider they stick to the i.b.s.a.

not the jehovah`s witnesses , were chosen as approved by jesus christ as the "faithful and discreet slave class" in 1919 for what they believed and taught back then as the i.b.s.a.

and not the jehovah`s witnesses.. and now the jehovah`s witnesses today do not believe what the international bible students association taught and believed back then in 1919... so how could jehovah`s witnesses today be approved by jehovah / christ jesus as the faithful and discreet slave class when they reject what was approved in 1919 ?

Most do not know it and don't want to know it. They are happy to only know what the GB pukes out to them at any given time.

My "shameless" relationship with my ex wife

by Jayk in

i've thought about keeping this to myself but i'm still confused on what i should do.. my ex wife(never been a jw) and myself(raised in the org till 16)have been reconnecting these past few weeks.

we been divorced for almost 10 years, we got married when we where pretty young, and it didnt last long.. fast forward 10 years, her and i have been reconnecting and things are getting semi serious.. she got remarried, divorced again, and recently broke up with her gf.

so in the past 10 years she has only been with 3 people (including myself) and here comes me "a sucker with no self esteem".

To ask us what to do is not very smart. If I were as uncertain as you I would look at seeing a therapist.
