I’m feeling guilty about that

Remember the Revelation book?
by wozza ini recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.
i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.
who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

About 2007-8 it was studied again, but the WTS had produced lots of edits.
Publishers kept their old books, and just printed new paragraphs on paper and stickered them into the book
This crazy book combined with the bullshit editing contributed to me waking up, so it’s a good book in that sense, highlights the JW crazy

If you were born in the early 1980’s, you would have studied that book twice as a JW child.
It was also drilled into your head that the anointed were ageing and shrinking in number so Armageddon must be close.
Combine the imagery of something like the Revelation book with the doomsday mentality, it’s no wonder this cult doesn’t have many mentally stable members left, they’ve been ruined

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

I think it’s unreasonable to expect these places to remain desolate for at least six months, like they’re saying. Half the kids at these places are usually there to escape family’s of serious dysfunction also.
Of course people can make use of skate parks with out putting the community at unnecessary risk, it’s not a germ fest like the petrol bowser handle.
It’s outdoors, keep the distance and enforce reasonable social distances, we are in for this for the long haul

Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?
by AlainAlam indo you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?
as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

It started as bad, but when the evidence came in and things looked bad, the goal posts were slightly shifted and the ‘bad’ had to be ‘evil’

It’s basically a wartime effort that is now required to get away from Chinese dependence, and start the manufacturing processes at home.
We don’t need to have the actual war, we should use the covid19 scare as the catalyst for change.
If we don’t, war with China is inevitable long term anyhow, certainly not an unreasonable prediction.
They’ve consistently disregarded international law, their attitude toward fishing Indonesian, Australian or whoever else’s coastlines for example, they need to get fucked. They’ve built their economy on the back of destroying human rights and basic freedoms.
Western society’s have been built on the back of consumerism, that needs to stop.
We need to cut the cord with China in every conceivable way ASAP, or even sooner if possible

What person would claim any group as the majority amazing?
I think most Firemen are amazing people, most anthropologists are amazing, most war veterans are amazing, most electricians, most muslims..it doesn’t matter the group, just a silly thing to say.
I was trying to highlight your flawed start, you came with bias, you kind of announced it personally.

They produced some DVDs about the organisations history, have you seen them?
They misrepresent what they believed prior to 1914, it’s a deliberate attempt to make it seem they made a special prediction
