  The last video in the 2016 convention...

  by problemaddict 2 in

  ...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.

  bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.

  he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.

  anyone else notice this on the last video of the regional convention 2016?.

  conclusion: it seems that the paradise will not be only the end of wickedness but also the end of the jws typical cheap polyester suits :-p.

  Is it Time to Declare that The Great Tribulation Has Started ?

  i don't really engage in doctrinal discussions about jw's anymore.

  they seem to say some pretty crazy stuff.

  but i have read some threads discussing doctrinal changes and how watchtower is really out of ideas and money at the same time.

  Today's WT. Jephthah's Daughter - Virgin Slave or Crispy Critter?

  by Slidin Fast in

  i whiled away the time today in the wt researching the above question on line.

  it seems to me that there is more evidence to say that the account simply depicts the poor nameless child/woman as being toast.

  the idea of her going into "tabernacle service" is completely fabricated and has no basis in scripture.

  As usual in the "Hebrew Scriptures" that mostly we have myths and stories, copied from the nations surrounding them by the so called, "God's Chosen Nation" completely ignores the name of the Jephthah's daughter! Like many other examples we have the same pattern being repeated, when women is involved, either in good or bad act. Not a surprise at all, if we take into consideration that we are dealing with misogynist nomads, living in the desert, and woman (as it still happening in that area even today) it is considered an object....

  And I will take the bad examples: Why there is no name of Lot's wife? And what about the 2 daughters, that had sexual intercourse with their own father? It is also very weird, that for the same reason that "God" destroyed the 2 cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, sexual immorality, God does't perform the same standards of justice to Lot and his daughters...

  My brother died last night

  by LisaRose in

  2. friends

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  I left because of the generation failure....yes WT is waiting for the old ones to die and to come up with "NEW" light.

  I'm in my mid 40's and I recall all the mambo jumbo about the generation. Very few JW's have a clue what was the official teachings of the WT. Few days ago a brother asked me if are all the WT publications available online....well I just smiled and said no....

  If they had all that crap on line and was available for everyone then many would have left!!!

  welcome and feel free to share your thoughts in the forum. WT has re-write its own history and hide lot of disturbing facts. I consider to be one of the "luckiest" ones since my dad had all the early books Russel/Rutherford era and when I decided to fade out, it was due to reading those books and not the so called "apostates"...I left in the late 90's at that time was in my early 30's and WT changed so much that I hardly recognized it. It is a long journey my friend, but when you find the TATT (the truth about the "truth") then you only wish to leave all behind
