  Yes this point was made clear at our meeting. Lots of emphasis on obedience. Jehovah molds us through his org, the slave.

  We were converting the miles into kilometers in order to fully grasp the amazing attitude Jeremiah displayed in obeying the Governing Body. . . . I mean Jehovah.

  I thought it was interesting that the book said we know that he did actually make the journey, without explaining how we can be sure, or without showing the full criticism that they said some have made. Now I see it is a fair point that these 'evil' critics make.

  I don't know if it because I am just more aware now that I have awakend, but the gushing over the slave class seems to happen more and more. Every second comment, the opening and closing prayer. After a public talk the chairman will often (a couple of brothers ALWAYS) thank the faithfull slave for the outline.

  It seems more and more cultish the further you mentally escape.

  One sister got disappointed in my congregation when they only offered the 30 hour aux pioneer for one month in the memorial season, although there was nothing stopping her from doing the 30 hrs, just that she wouldn't get the announcement and a clap.

  A few have said it already but it is worth mentioning again. . . . . nothing stops faithfull dubs from doing 30, 40 or 50 hours on any given month of the year. . . . only they will might miss out on the status of pioneer. No one cares about status in Gods org do they?

  33 %

  so, my mother in law who is still active went out in service with the group that had the co visit and came back with some very interesting news.

  first off, she knows that we are fading and is ok with it and has some doubts herself.

  anyhow, she said that the co went off track during the meeting before service and mentioned how we are now allowed to receive up to 33% of blood in a transfusion.

  Vaccinations have nothing to do with sex relations, or with intermarriage of angels with women!

  Thanks for clarification celebrated Watchtower scholars. . . . . . I would never have thought.

  Another reason why 1914 is WRONG

  by EdenOne in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even if 607 had been the actual date of the destruction of jerusalem .... 1914 would still be wrong.

  when the wts says that "7 times" equals 2 x 3,5 times of revelation = 2 x 1260 days = 2520 days > one day / one year rule = 2520 years.. now, 2520 / 7 times means that one "time" has 360 "days".

  this corresponds to the lunar year.

  Nothing happened in 1915.

  None of their expectations were fulfilled in 1914, but WWI was a major event. . . . so they then claimed WWI as proof of the last days begining. One problem is, and there are many, is that the last days were taught to have begun in 1799, and 1914 was supposed to spell the end of the last days, not the start. . . . . anyway fast forward almost a hundred years and the society has fixed all their past errors by rewriting their history and what they actually believed and expected to happen for 1914, in order to make themselves look like some divinely appointed prophet of God.

  They can tell the JWs what they want about their history, and if any JWs do research into the Society and become aware of their lies and deceit, they risk being DF'd for a mental disease.

  If you drink coffee . . .

  by compound complex in

  do you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?

  can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.

  no survey here, just curious.

  I am with Billy and roast my own. I have got around 30-40 kilos of green beans. Ethiopian Harrar and Yirgacheffe are a couple of my favs, either macchiato or piccolo late. But I do like many south american varietys, and Indian Monsoon Malabar, Papua New Guinea Waghi.

  Taste is a preference thing, some like coffee weak and sweet, and they will call this 'good coffee'. Nespresso is convenient, simple and consistent. I would say consistently poor, but that is my taste. Coffee like any food goes stale, it is at its best for up to about 4-5 weeks after roasting. Beyond that it is stale. Some beans taste great a few days after roasting (generally South Americans) others taste better left to rest a couple of weeks. Coffee should be ground immediatley before brewing. Coffee that is bought pre-ground is not going to be much good. Anyways I am getting a bit carried away about coffee I just really like the stuff.

  Soon.

  Earthshaking events will SOON occur.

  SOON this wicked systmem will have passed.

  At the latest circuit assembly the word soon got mentioned in relation to armageddon at least 20 times I reckon. Unless they want to clearly define soon, they should stop using that word. They have been saying soon for 120 years.

  Decieving, manipulating, arrogant, waste of time religon. I have had enough I cant stomach this rubbish.
