Russell's chronology was right after all!
by Vanderhoven7 inthe 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.

I am pleased for the lucky bastards who have been spared my bible bashing.
by The Rebel ini am seven months without bible bashing, without door-knocking, or standing by a trolley cart looking like a prat.
and i feel the real winners are the " lucky bastards" who haven't been told about jehvover.
furthermore they are spared super pious me telling them what they can and can't do.

Don't sweat looking like a Prat, I'm sure as soon as they could get away from your "witness" they probably could not pick you out of a lineup. People just see a nice suit and tie and thats about it, most are preoccupied and busy with their own affairs to notice you, they just are looking for an out to get away. -

Jw,s are love bombing and cutting and pasting any article positive for Prince on FB. Think I will cut and paste this one on Kevin Smith, just to balance out the obvious one sided posts... -

Prince was on the board of directors for the WTS
by Barrold Bonds ini was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.
apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.
he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.

Being Positive around family that are still in.
by freddo inif you are a fader or you have reduced activity markedly - say resigned as a pioneer or an elder or ms or gone inactive and still have some relationship with your immediate family or spouse - how do you stay positive around them when you feel like shaking them out of their stupor but believe deep down it would be counter productive?.
thoughts from all most welcome..

I like to try and relate the current political affairs and mention Hillary and Bill getting back in the white house, or Trump getting into the White House. Its surprising how JW,s have pretty strong feelings one way or the other about who will be in charge for 4 years and then I will say something like, if only you guys voted, 2 million votes one way or the other would change an election. -

Get out of her MY people
by kairos inwhen we were in, it was 'the truth'.after being out and free to think and research as i please, what a disappointment to find out that this org is nothing but a publishing house of lies.they literally are in the business ( corporation ) of selling lies.don't believe me?review the publication that you 'studied the bible in' and discover for yourself that the very doctrine that attracted you, no longer exists.it was the "live forever" book for me.the generation that saw the events of 1914 has died and now after a few tweaks the massive lie of "overlapping generations" has been promoted as "truth".this takes us to galatians 1:8,9.read it carefully and repeatedly.
in multiple translations.however, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond what we declared to you as good news, let him be accursed.
9 as we have said above, i also now say again, whoever it is that is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be accursed.. you cannot change the doctrines.

They also boldly misquote anytime they feel like it because their followers get their ears tickled. One recent example I came across was in the Dec 15, 2015 WT Where they quote from the Preface of the Revised Standard Version..“4 Despite the clear evidence that the personal name of God belongs in the Bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of God. In fact, just two years after the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures was released in 1950, the Revised Standard Version was published. That version omitted the name, reversing the policy of the editors of the American Standard Version of 1901. Why? The preface says: “The use of any proper name for the one and only God . . . is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.” That set a pattern for many subsequent translations, English and non-English”Excerpt From: WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower, December 15, 2015.” iBooks. The 3 dots can be easily looked up now and you can see what the WT clearly left out just to make it seem to support their position. The quote from the RSV is as follows...For two reasons the Committee has returned to the more familiar usage of the King James Version: (1) the word “Jehovah” does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church. The word jehovah was made up in the medieval period. -

Just wonder if Prince knew TTATT. Seems that someone like him that used the media would at least use it once in a while to do some research... http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-prince-jehovah-20160424-story.html -

Article Re/Recruiting Pool for the MLM Industries
by LV101 inmy lds, long-time, friend sent me article at www.pinktruth.com -- adult children of dysfunctional families: the perfect recruiting pool for the mlm industries.
it's a good read how people are automatic victims to mary kay cosmetics -- makes perfect sense.
makes more sense they're easy prey to cults thus the success of watchtower and mormonism.

These businesses appeal to those who want to do part time work, with full time money. I remember in the 80,s Amway,avon, tupperware, and another company that sold 1 oz gold coins for $200 each. Today when someone mentions they are working part time and want to use your house for a demonstration location, run like the devil away from them...
