Story of God - Morgan Freeman

by Doubtfully Yours in

i'm hooked on watching "the story of god, with morgan freeman".

it's fascinating to watch the different faiths throughout the world, the rituals, how devout the followers are.

mind boggling for sure!

Watched it with my still in partner and it was almost non stop JW slogans from her, to try and counter the truth that she was watching. I had to shhhh her just so I could listen . DVR,ed the series and would like to see it in quiet mode sometime alone.

And has anyone ever seen or heard of a fish recently that could swallow a man whole, keep him alive for 3 days and 3 nights and then spit him out alive? Some stories are just hard to swallow...

Loyalty? Today's WT The RC. It's a fix!

by Slidin Fast in

today's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.

friday of the rc has the same as it's theme.

the silver nwt is alone in using the word loyalty in this verse.

WT hasn't got much right since they changed "cross" to torture stake and "crucify " to Impale. Another mistranslation comes to mind is "believe" to exercise faith...

when someone says "merry christmas" or "happy holidays".... a normal person: responds in kind.

a jw: says "thank you" or launches into a speech about christmas' pagan roots.

when a couple is celebrating their wedding anniversary... .

A question about WTBTS moles.

by DATA-DOG in

with all the info from videos to boe letters, to the flock book ( this is huge when you learn ttatt!

), why can't we find out who the wtbts hired to aid in their rebranding efforts?

we know all about the rc and monica applewhite for jeehoober's sake, so why in the hell can't we find out who is behind the rebranding?

Be ready to obey!!

from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

Kinda like not too long ago, they printed a picture of all gathering in a basement somewhere in their tight pants and regular clothes to hide from the GT. And then all the elders were urgently told to get everyones current address and # like something would happen in the coming weekend. Everyone was a buzzzzzzz for a few weeks anyway.

advertise, advertise,advertise...why not use technology to be more efficient ? Run adds on FB, during the nightly horror news stories, or buy pop up adds whenever someone googles "bible" . This way "friends" can go out in service in front of their computer screen... Currently they use Dial up internet, when they could be using Fiber Optic speeds.

Russell's chronology was right after all!

by Vanderhoven7 in

the kingdom of god is already begun, which is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in a.d. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of god almighty" which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of the earth's present rulership, is already commenced.. i just did the math....and russell was right.

christ returned invisibly in 1874 and took rulership (restored kingdom reign) in 1878.. 2520 years minus 607 when jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914. that`s 2520 - 607 = 2014. but wait, that`s 2520 prophetic years of 360 days, not solar days of 365.25 days.

to convert to solar days then one must multuiply 2520 x 365.25 which gives us 2,484 actual years.
