  The moment I learned that 1914 was a lie I stopped witnessing. Missing it does not make feel guilty in the slightest, because I know it is wrong. Like that campaign a few years back handing out the tract "False Religions End Is Near". That is just crazy stuff I can do without. The only thing about suddenly stopping is it attracts the attention of the elders who had high hopes for me, and I am trying to fade and keep a relationship with some family.

  Saturdays have a good feel now but they never use to with the dreaded d2d. The only thing better than not going witnessing on Saturday is not going to the meeting on Sunday either. Ahhh.... the truth sets free.

  Say as least as you can while being polite. Make him feel awkward as you sit there silently.

  Pearl Jam - Ten "Evenflow" "Jeremy" "Black" "Alive" - Read the lyrics and hear the desperation of a 15 year OLD JW hearing these songs. Awesome power and message.

  Hell yes I can relate to that but you forgot Release. My father died when I was kid and Eddie lost his father when he was young, and when he sings that line, "oh dear Dad.... can you see me now?... I am myself.... like you somehow", it gives me chills and makes me reflect on things. It is such a powerful song, awesome live. I am massive PJ fan.

  Depressing Census Statistics on Religion

  by jwfacts in

  ... depressing if you are the governing body that is.. the australian census figures from 2011 are available.

  this is taken every 5 years, and i have been doing a comparison over the last 15 year period.

  for 2001 and 2006 the number of jw's fell in australia, but this time it has risen, which jws may find encouraging.

  Australians are an apathetic bunch, so don't confuse atheism with don't-know-don't-care-ism.

  Exactly right. This is what makes witnessing in this country such a massive waste of time, nobody cares.

  Muslims are not a large number yet, but sadly growing faster than any other group

  I read somewhere a while back that Islam growth is almost keeping up with world population with around 50 million Muslims every year. And I believe everything I read on the net.

  JWs should follow the LDS example (like they seem to be anyway) and start using TV and billboards to preach, clearly Gods blessing is with these methods rather than the archaic door to door work.

  Thanks for this info Paul, I will be sure to discourage and sow doubts with my active JW family with some more facts.

  Dinosaurs Of Eden

  i saw this at the visiting nurse book sale in february and it was too macabre to pass up.. .

  the book is written by ken ham, an australian born, young earth creationist.

  briefly, two children go back in time using the bible as their "time machine" and discover that dinosaurs of the entire mesozoic era coexisted with adam and eve:.

  Notice the cyclops star trek looking person on the left side in the third image? Is that suppose to be Satan?

  I also noticed the Avaceratops appears to be smiling. Smiling Dinosaurs, it really was paradise.

  John the Baptist beheaded on Herod's birthday. Why?

  by leaving_quietly in

  it was in this week's bible reading.

  mark 6:21: "but a convenient day came along when herod spread an evening meal on his birthday for his top-ranking men and the military commanders and the foremost ones of galilee.".

  look at the various renderings of this verse.

  It serves a sign that true Christians who strive to avoid Satanic rituals, would not celebrate birthdays in the last days, which evidently began in 1914.

  Why did the organization stop providing food during conventions?

  by redvip2000 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm sure many of us still remember these times when the organization used to sell food at conventions.. i also remember that when this was stopped, the official reason was that the "brothers" were missing some of the program because of all the preparations.

  typical watchtower "pretend we care" excuse.. i've wondered if there is another reason behind it, tied to perhaps finances or logistics that was the real deciding factor.

  history and typical "modus operandi" of the society tells me that if there was some money to be made that way, they would not have stopped.. wonder if anybody has more info on this..

  i'm still "in" and i've noticed an odd trend recently.

  conversations with jws seem to be more jw-ish than ever!

  in normal conversation, i'll hear: "these watchtowers are just wonderful!

  I am not sure if it is more common but it is definently harder to listen to. Even when I believed it I hated those that anaylsed every word of the WT and then talked about the what 'society' is trying to tell us. The WT is so sacred to JWs, and when you know TTATT, all the WT analysis and praise just sounds so stupid that it is hard to know if it's becoming more common or just more noticeable. I have thought the same thing though.

  The poor JWs are still thinking that any day now the UN will destroy false religion and then the fun can start, so they cling to every word that the GB says.
