  not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but yeah.

  they just posted up the new watchtower...with the confusing new information.. time for me to go dive into this "new light" and try to see what sense it makes.

  of course cedars already nicely did a run down for us.. .

  Here's one of many things I do NOT understand: If the wheats and the goats are going to be judged during the great tribulation...then why is it necessary for there to be a second round of judging during Jesus' millenium reign?

  They used words like "perceived" and "discerned" to introduce their new ideas...which are just that. IDEAS.

  If they were honest, and admitted that it is in fact just ideas, and not facts sent straight from heaven, they would be a lot better off.

  Especially considering alot of these ideas are just bizarre.

  Unfortunately, I think I'm still partly in denial.

  So I guess that's how I feel.

  Challenge for JW's - how do you arrive at 1919 using the Bible alone?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  any takers?

  jw apologists or anyone, convince us why you are sure that jesus appointed the watchtower society in 1919 using the bible alone.

  Ugh. It's truly depressing, because, there really is no proof.

  Quick Question regarding faithful slave and apostle

  by sosoconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  since we have a new understanding of the faithful and discreet slave not appearing until 1919, and in turn no one giving the proper food at the proper time... does this wipe out the validity of the gospel accounts and all the rest of the greek scriptures?.

  .

  i know i am missing out on something here, but is this the line of reasoning that one can gather from this latest announcement?.

  They run the line that there was a governing body/faith slave in the first century, back when Paul and all the others were around, but after that, this arrangement magicaly disappeared for hundreds of years....until 1919!

  The more I read this stuff.

  The more sick I feel.

  And I know I can't be the only one in my congregation.

  Do you ever wonder...

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  2. experiences

  if there are any brothers or sisters in your kingdom hall that are mentally awake to ttatt?.

  do you ever wonder if some of the posters here (who are still in) are in your hall?

  studies, un-baptized publishers, pioneers, ministerial servants, elders?

  I wonder all the time. Sometimes I can tell that some are aware of somethings concerning TTAT, just by the way they'll comment on certain things. But there's no full-proof way to know...

  hi guys,.

  so then, why did you get dunked?

  were you pressured into it too, or did you do it because you honestly thought it was the right thing to do?.

  I was 12. My father actually advised me to wait, but I felt it was the right thing to do. I truly believed in it all.
