  Old lie: During the 19 th century, sincere Bible students calculated that the waiting period would end in 1914. (Regarding this date, see the Appendix, pages 215-18.) World events that began in 1914 confirm that the calculation of these sincere Bible students was correct.

  New revised lie: During the 19 th and 20 th centuries, sincere Bible students progressively discerned that the waiting period would end in 1914. (Regarding this date, see the Appendix, pages 215-18.) World events that began in 1914 confirm that the understanding of these sincere Bible students was correct.

  It's a disgrace that they get away with deliberate deception like this. If it wasn't for WWI, this religion would probably never have got any traction. They have used this stupid, prophetic-lie as evidence for their divine approval for the last 100 years. It is well past it's use by date.

  Members who spam threads with the same post over and over

  by Apognophos in

  how do you guys feel about someone who gets an idea in his head that we want to hear the same phrase, often a nonsensical one, repeated in a dozen or more threads which may not have anything to do with the phrase in question?

  it seems to me that we already have a rule, #5, about this..

  I have noticed a supply of these kinds of posts lately. Not that they really bother me, because now that I am aware I don't even bother reading any of it. I just think it makes the poster look a little silly.

  I can't really talk, 99% of the stuff I post is just as stupid and irrelevant, just not as repetitive.

  just once after serena williams says "thanks to jehovah god" i would love to hear the commentator ask her "when's the last time you've been out in field service or attended a meeting"?.

  JWs are some of the most superstitious people on earth. If she lost, she would be blaming Satan.

  Do You Think It Possible That A Member Of Governing Body Would Ever Commit Suicide Because Of The Pain From Cognitive Dissonance?

  by frankiespeakin in

  i think as things get real tuff for the governing body that the build up of stress from dealing with a corporation founded on lies and manipulation of people that is comming to a head and all the lawsuits and possible criminal prosecution and the day today pressure of having all your decision back fire on you.. the final stage of wishful thinking is the nightmare stage where the whole delusion falls apart.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.

  i'm thinking just like hitler killed himself rather than face life anymore, that some on the gb may reach that stage..

  question on resurrection

  by Skbj in

  a bit of background first: my mom's sister died 2 years ago.

  she wasn't a jw.

  she was far too smart to be one to be honest.

  I believe the official WT stance is that she will get a resurrection. Because she was never a dedicated baptized JW, there is still room for repentance.

  However, she wil have to have a bible study in the new system and become a JW otherwise she will be directly executed by Jehovah during the millennial reign. This is the 'hope' your mother is clinging to.

  Aust. Election in 1 week - A review of Kevin Rudd, PM

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm still determined not to vote - just to write something unpleasant about pollies on the ballot paper.

  if i lived in victoria, i just may, as an act of sheer bastardry, vote for julian assange (of wikileaks fame), but i don't live in vic, so i cant.. my objection to voting is that the political choice offers two self-perpetuating oligarchies (who are something like the governing body).

  they make up a slate of candidates and election advertising consists of attempting to persuade swinging voters to vote for their slate of candidates.. anyway, i noted that k.rudd has made a video in chinese, aimed apparently at mainland china.

  Like the Baby Bonus to buy that new plasma that baby needs.

  Was not the Baby Bonus introduced by the Libs? I am pretty sure it was Peter Costello's doing.

  Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  You could really use this part to get some cognitive dissonance going with their minds. Get some old WT and Awake quotes read out. 'What will the 1970's bring? Is time running out for this generation?' And the classic, 'Generation that will not pass away'magazine. You could have people falling out of chairs with the uncomfortable feeling that you produce.

  This is the same talk that the JWfacts has a piece of I think. It's fairly disturbing, sounds very cultish, and the speaker sounds like a psychopath the way he seems to get excited talking about all the death at the big A.
