i came across this after posting another iq video to a different topic.
interesting how much the jehovahs witnesses are featured ... but it is because they are a millenial cult with failed rapture prophecies:.

"Rebel, I am not sure which account is historically accurate When I found the photo, I thought the dress was more reminiscent of late 1800s fashion. I thought it possible that the photo was taken in 1874 - the 'first'Russell rapture."
Look at his face - he was not that old in '74. The picture is taken on his Middle East trip way later.
this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

Credit card donations accepted.
Is that NEW in the US? In Europe it has been done for years and years.

Nothing exiting will come. They have the annual meetings for that, not these regional zone visits, they are held regularly and no breath-taking revelation will be dropped to one continent some months before it is dropped to another.
sorry about the confused nature of the topic but my mom (who still goes to the kh meetings) said that there will be an "assembly" on sunday where there will be a prerecorded message or talk of some sort and that it will only be half a day and won't need to bring lunch.
anyone else have heard of these or gone to one?.
i know they are changing a lot of things.
Just the zone visit which is piped to all congregations having the equipment. Nothing sensational or new.
who knows how many scribal errors the book we call 'the bible' contains?
the book of the law as written by the hand of moses has been found once more.
king josiah was the last king to see it and jeremiah the last prophet.
Strange that I haven't read anythoing about it in newspapers or magazines, or that it hasn't been main news on television ...........
hey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.
i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.
however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..
Oubliette asked, "Was Jesus ever harsh with his disciples?"
Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns." Matt. 16,23
So I would say - Yes!

Why shouldn't the accident be posted on jw.org or in a magazine? The car crash in Spain was, g96 8/22 "Overcoming Tragedy in Jehovah’s Strength

"Hmm, yeah, 2013 - 2015 is DECADES"
Read what I said once more. You also whould try to have two thoughts in your head at the same time. First thought: Zone visits have taken place for decades. Second thought: For the last couple of years they have been piped.
Clearer now?

"2013 was the annual meeting, not a zone visit. There certainly wasn't the same level of hooplah about anything in 2010-2012 as there is now."
Totally wrong. You must remember one little thing: USA is not the World. Over here in Europe zone visits have been piped for years. What you have done in the US is your "thing", but you must remember that things take place outside of your little pond as well

"The Old Hippie, these "zone visits" have never been piped in to every KH in the zone and hyped for months on end as some sort of "special meeting" ever before. I have been in the JW community for DECADES too and I could not tell you one thing about what a "zone visit" entails. Why is 2014 different? I think that is the point of this thread, isn't it?"
They HAVE been piped to every KH in the zone. We had it piped last year - 2013 - and this year - 2014 - and it has been announced recently that it will be piped in March 2015 as well. And before that, it was transferred thru telephone lines both in 2010 and 2011 and 2012. So there is absolutely NOTHING new about it.
