perhaps this has been linked here before.
if that's the case, i'm sorry.
however, new people join, others miss things, some forget, so i thought it was worth posting, especially since this issue comes up from time to time and some here have never worked it out or are in the process of trying to do so.
Thank you. It is well proven and documented that Jesus of Nazareth did exist. He was a real person. There's plenty of evidence from all kinds of sources about the existence of that person.
My personal issue has nothing to do with his existence or his teachings, however, anyone in their right mind, with fair reason and open mind could clearly see that Jesus did in fact existed.
Thank you for sharing the link.
the detroit free press article from yesterday that made front page news on yahoo makes it on yahoo again today!
good to see the main line news paying attention to what kind of sh*t goes on inside the watchtower.
and to think that this bad publicity is happening during the "memorial season" (lol memorial season).. just saying!.
Is there a link to Yahoo? I'd love to see what the comments are from the public.
i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.
soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.
then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.
Now if I knew that the Gibbering Booty would read this then I would have done that since they don't seem to know how soon is soon.
They don't have to. They know they are fooling people with their nonsense.
ok. having experienced the jdubs over 27 years.
i have come to the conclusion that sincere people have been 'conned' into the troof, into a 'system' of beliefs that immerses them into an organisation that holds them captive ie no honourble way out without being shunned by friends and family.. having gone through this horrible experience, many are afraid to join another christian group.
it's a bit like someone who trusted someone most of their life only to find that person was a devious lying individual.

Hello, and thank you for posting the part that I quoted. I personally feel that I need to be reminded of that.
I also love that you are posing a question about a subject that i believe is not the most popular here, which is feelings.
I'm rather ambivalent about anything religious, and I can tell more about what i don't believe and what I don't want in my life as a means for healthy spirituality. So I guess what I feel is indifference.
what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.
Those of us with family & friends in the religion care
The question is not about family and friends, it's about the JWs. Furthermore, it's yet another unhealthy, escape from reality, unnecessary, never will happen what if that brings nothing positive to anyone.
Spend your time fostering a good relationship with your JW love ones instead of wasting time fantasizing.
lifestyle.
ex-jehovah's witnesses break silence on shunning: 'my mother treats me like i'm dead'.

Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses break silence on shunning
Like the rest of us have never talked about it before? Either way, thanks for the info. This might be helpful to some people who like making fun of JWs.
watchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".
for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.
"jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.
Is there an official term for this type of fallacious reasoning?
Yes, idiocy.
what do you think would happen to jehovah's witnesses as a religion and as a people?.
Who knows who cares.
the outline number 44 from this year’s regional assembly states:.
la organización de las naciones unidas es en realidad una falsificación del reino mesiánico, y es una ofensa para dios.. .
translation: “the united nations organisation is actually a counterfeit of the messianic kingdom, and it is offensive to god.”.
La Organización de las Naciones Unidas es en realidad una falsificación del Reino mesiánico, y es una ofensa para Dios.
They go in circles, don't they.
i missed my first memorial last year in 60 years.
it always amazed me on this special night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking lot.
i would pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where and how to park my car.
I am so thankful that I will never go to another meeting and sit through the sadness of rejecting Jesus.
It's been quite a few decades sine my last memorial (that expression has some suicidal quality to it), and for what you share, it doesn't seem like I have missed much.
The only memorial that was different to me was the one when I got a hand job.
