  A JW experience

  this is a quick experience i have recently had and i have two questions at the end.. a couple of weeks ago, the dogs were barking at the gate on saturday morning and wouldn't you know it, it was some witnesses.

  there was a father with his lovely wife and their young daughter.

  the father did all the talking as mother and daughter just dutifully smiled and watched.

  I heard last year some time, that the preaching work was going to end soon, so just waiting. Actually that might help them in reverse , some on the side lines would come back thinking the end had come already(invisibly) and it would be all over the news being such a huge change...

  They're now asking people to clean at Bethel?

  i heard from a "friend" that a letter was read aloud during the midweek meeting asking people to volunteer to do cleaning work in bethel.

  lol.

  i really can't think of anything else to say if this is true.. they get more free labor, and they still ask for more more more money!!

  What Are Your "Senior Moments" Like?

  dear friends:.

  i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.

  are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?

  being a senior I get so many medical bills for various procedures, that I think I only pay them once, but often get checks in the mail from when I have paid twice and forgotten. Glad that medical offices are honest.

  Proof the GB changes scriptures in the Bible...really interesting

  hello everyone, this info below me is not mine it's from a user in reddit that posted it.

  his user name is question_and_answer1 i was hoping he was in this forum too but i don't know if he is.

  anyway the credit goes to him for researching this and it's really interesting what he found and i want everyone here to read, and it's proof of how fake the watchtower is and how disgusting the gb really is...it's sickening.

  My 2 cents would be to change "men" in Mat 15:9 to "governing body"

  as an unbelieving mate (how tasteless), when i go to the meeting, I always plan to take my prescription pain killer right before going, so Im all smiles for a couple of hours and can endure the insults thrown my way. (have a blown and herniated disc). wonder how many others do this just to get thru 2 hours. (assembly takes 3 pills)

  in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.

  many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

  this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

  If your a Bethelite and been there 30 or 40 years your in no where land. You don't qualify for social security cause the WT didn't pay in and your family most likely can't take care of you. You can't fade cause you are obligated by the free room and board, and you have no where else to go. Real sad that an organization has taken your best years and you are at their mercy. Your stuck ...

  The Bread Illustration (Feb 16 Broadcast) - Massive Contradiction

  by fizzle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so... bro flodin puts poison onto the first loaf of bread and says that this pictures someone "sinning against the holy spirit".

  he then puts the bread into the trash can stating that jehovah completely discards anyone "sinning against the holy spirit"... meaning they cannot ever be forgiven...he says that the pharisees "sinned against the holy spirit" because they denied indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit displayed by jesus... therefore jehovah would completely discard them... no way back for them.. fast forward a little... we have the bible character stephen...acts 6:8 says: now stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.so stephen was showing indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit.now we come to the bible character paul (saul)... he was a pharisee.paul would have seen stephen in action... witnessing the indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit first hand!yet paul not only waged war against all christians but he personally approved the killing (stoning) of stephen.according to the bread illustration paul should have been discarded by jehovah at this point for "sinning against the holy spirit"... he would have been put in the trash can... no way back at all...but what happened according to the bible?

  jesus appeared to him on the road to damascus... he became one of the most zealous apostles in bible history with jehovah's full support!so what on earth is the bread illustration all about?
