So the Witnesses still believe in rapture

by eyeslice2 in

according today's watchtower, all the remaining ones of the anointed ones will be in heaven when the great tribulation breaks to join jesus in the battle against evil.

the watchtower was making the point that at that time god's organization will be ran by members of the 'other sheep'.

it didn't say how these remaining ones find themselves in heaven, but presumably they will be taken, i.e.

I wonder if the GB will ‘disappear’ before they appear on court with Irwin Zalkin.

jehovahs witness yearbook, 1967 p.105: cameroon"on one occasion a large crowd was following a man who had a talking serpent.

the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues....a brother was passing by, attracted by the commotion, he went to the house to see what was happening.

Living in the last of the last days - A new prophecy

by Listener in

although not a new concept by the watchtower, particularly in public talks and at assemblies, they have now put this prophecy in writing.watchtower oct 2019 page 8 -13 study no.40 titled -keep busy during the last of "the last days".

the first paragraph asks '1.

what convinces us that we are living in “the last days”?

The last of the last days, lol, they last, and last, and last. How many with 2 brain cells can believe this crap?

When was it time for you to walk away from your congregation meetings and the WTBTS?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the basic virtue for a human being is to be true to yourself – the integrity of thought, emotion, and action.. .

ten years ago ( after 32 years as a jehovah's witness), i finally decided that my own mental sanity and being true to myself was more important than attending congregation meetings and serving the watchtower society.

i stopped (years before) field service, the ministry school, answering at the watchtower studies, missed numerous meetings and walked in minutes before the meetings started and left after the closing prayer, i knew it was time to leave.

Love you, Spiral! No way to stop association with a loved son or daughter. Happy families, ha!

What Do You Think About Organized Sit Ins That Are Disruptive?

by minimus in

jw

marches, sit ins, traffic blocking is the new normal for people to demonstrate.

they block highways, state buildings and roadways.

they may even get arrested but invariably get turned loose by the courts.. i think it’s disgraceful to demonstrate this way.

Sounds like the 1960’s!

I was a born in, so forced as a child to do things which I felt were vile, like field service, and long, boring assemblies. I hated being different at school, felt like such a weirdo not saluting the flag. I loved holidays and yet we couldn’t celebrate them. Also, I had issues with people in the congregation. Even as a kid, I wondered why the ones who were considered “weak in the truth” were more kind and Christian, while those who were “strong in the truth” were judgmental assholes. Then, from age 11 or 12, constant nitpicking on me from the elders, some so ridiculous. I was a cute, shapely young girl, they didn’t like that, they talked to my dad about my looks. He said, “Well, she takes care of herself, bathes frequently, and is well groomed.” One elder said that “She should stop that.” Such assholes! I left for good at 23 after a lifetime of BS and CD.
