I bought a house 12 years ago where I live and the market price has not gone up one cent if anything I would be selling it for less than I paid for it.

Otherwise things are much the same.

Points From the December Study Watchtower

by The Fall Guy in

page 3, par.

2 - "...a 19th century visitor cried out, “oh, what a paradise!”.

(companion & useful guide to the beauties of scotland, by the hon.

its O.K. for these 8 old men who are running this religion who class themselves as the Governing Body ,they don`t work ( as Paul said they should ) they live very comfortably with good food and accommodation fly all around the world etc,

In reality live like kings all at the expense of donations given by gullible J.W.`s

And they tell you not to get higher education so you can live like they are.

DECEMBER 2018 WATCHTOWER STUDY ARTICLE...Many loyal Christians have remained with an unbelieving mate under very trying circumstances.

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

december 2018 study article :.

honor “what god has yoked together”.

17 admittedly, there have been instances where an “unbelieving husband” seems to prove that he is not “agreeable to staying with her.” he might be extremely physically abusive, even to the point that she feels that her health or life is in danger.

Did the jw's leadership ever apologize for 1975?

by dugout in

jw
friends

talking to my friend who's an elder, when i asked him did the leadership ever attempt to apologize for the 1975 prediction fiasco he said they did.

and he was going to show me.

i'm still waiting..................................................tic toc did they???

Not only did they say in their publications that 6000 years of human history would end in 1975 ,they also said that it would be an appropriate time for Christ Jesus to start his 1000 reign as King in the heavens.

This all coinciding with there teaching that a creative day was 7000 years long .

And at the end of the reign of Jesus Christ 1000 year rule would be the end of the seventh creative day mankind would be brought back to perfection into a paradise earth .

The 7th day: 6000 years of human imperfection

Christ Jesus 1000 year reign : Restoring humans to perfection

Culminating in the 7th day.

Then everything under creation being perfect handed back to Jehovah.

edit to add : The words apology and sorry are not words the G.B. are familiar with they are not in its vocabulary.

Twelve days in Spain -- Nary a JW Cart in Sight

by Room 215 in

just concluded a twelve-day holiday in spain... seven cities in twelve days -- and not one sighting of a jw cart..

smiddy3

Sorry Room 215 , but you should have spent 12 days in 7 cities and then you might have seen one J.W cart .?

Or hunky dory ,the Spanish brothers and Sisters are more enlightened than we are and concluded that its all bullshit

Come to think of it I live in a regional/town for the past 12 years and I have not seen a J.W. cart either ?

And for that matter very, very, seldom has anybody knocked on my door ?

What`s wrong with me ? why are they avoiding me ?

or is it because the witnessing life saving work is losing its edge.

J.W.`s are losing faith in the message without even realizing it.

Who wrote the Bible?

by Ireneus in

the wordings suggest much of the bible is written by false friends of god.

to mention a few:.

1) god planted a special tree to pay the way for suffering and death into the lives of his children.. 2) god protected cain who murdered his innocent brother out of sheer jealousy.

Take out the books referring to other items on your list, or written by the same writers, and we're left with not much of a Bible anymore, are we?

That about sums it up for me

Dec 2018 Watchtower Third Heaven & Paradise

by Listener in

a qfr in the watchtower asks ".

n what sense was the apostle paul “caught away to the third heaven” and “into paradise”?—2 cor.

they've been flip flopping regarding this, stating that it is paul talking about himself to paul talking about the congregation and back again to paul talking about himself.it appears that three years ago david splane gave a talk during the convention explaining their latest ideas and it has taken all this time for it to get into print.
