The Drama was produced rather well, except for the overuse of a mid century made up word called "Jehovah". Im sure the monks who invented the word would be so proud.

After the bunker video, the speaker said, he personally talked to the Governing body and they were certain it would occour "any Day",,,but didn't add the work "now". Well they have been saying this for over 100 years, so no news there, but the video did make it seem as if it would be tomorrow or sooner. So tired of their double speak, means nothing to me , but a lot of family dribbles on their every word, so more figuritive fingers in the ear for a few days more, till the bills start coming in and then back to our rut...

The GB knows no more about when the Gran Tribulation will occur , than does Donald Trump. All speculation and no secret channel that has informed them even before Jesus christ.

by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM in

hi everyone, here is my latest letter.

that video really moved me.

Your email has less change of being read, as Hillary,s deleted emails being read by Trump and the RNC. But you get an A for effort.

Jehovah loves "even rounded numbers" or could this be a way to disprove the inspiration of the Bible?

by notjustyet in

while i am not able to recall them all at this time, i remember so many instances that when a number was quoted in the bible, especially large numbers, they were all "rounded up" to the nearest hundred or thousand.

for instance the angel killed 185,000 syrians, not 184,879. sampson killed a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass, not 961. and on and on on the even rounded numbers.

i would guess that it could be agues that these numbers were correct but is that realistic?

baker

Now moving forward to the present, we are expected to believe 1914 is an exact and precise date brought forward from all the inspired writers, without any doubting from the R&F? Give me a break. Im surprised the GB is still holding fast to this date, seeing that it has been almost 102 years without any GT appearing...

A Question

by FedUpJW in

i would appreciate knowing from someone in the know if the goofy carts and rain covers are given to the congregation by the org.

or if the congregation has to pay the org for them.

i am sure i read that somewhere here in my lurking days, but am not finding it at present.. if the congregation is billed for it i intend to use that as a reason for my continued refusal to donate anything from now on.. thanks in advance..

Most cart pushers are probably closer to destitute , so they might not be worried about loosing any money they don't have. ( can't get blood out of a turnip)

JW's opinions on bunker video

by neat blue dog in

the so called bunker video isn't just getting attention here but among jws as well.

i've heard a fair share of cracks, some half joking half serious about the prospect of the video playing out in real life .

but something else i've heard is that the video was meant to be figurative, an illustration representing the 'interior rooms' prophecy..

baker

Why in the world would the FBI be going after the JW,s anyway. They have enuf to do trying to catch terrorist, bank robbers, federal white collar crimes, threats to national security, and occasionally investigating private email servers hidden by top government employees. Only in the eyes of the GB, that they are considerated a national security threat. This video is just way over the top of becoming cult like material, that hopefully a lot of sheep will open their eyes and see this is way beyond their mission of interpreting bible stories. Maybe, if the FBI looks at the video, then they might consider the JW,s as suberversive.

The distinguished Gentleman was hilarious, cause it was showing the truth about politics.

Did Melania use a few sentences that were similar to Michelle Obama’s speech? Sure, but that is common. ALL First Lady speeches resonate the same universal concepts.

The fact is, you can go back and look at Laura Bush’s speech, Nancy Reagan, and even Hillary when she was first lady and find the same type of comments.

In a speech Hillary Clinton gave in 2014 for the New American foundation. Hillary spoke of the same values saying,

” my mother and father gave us a middle-class life with opportunities she never could have imagined for herself but which she always believed could be possible for her children. And that was a great gift that I will be forever grateful for, and then Bill and I of course worked hard to pass on those values to our daughter.”

(In other words, passing on values to the next generation, like Michelle Obama said in 2008.)

Laura Bush said in her 2004 RNC speech,

“If you’re determined and you want to work hard, you can do anything you want to. That’s the beautiful thing about America.”

(The same concept of Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008.)

Even Ann Romney’s speech hit the same notes in 2012

“Mitt will be the first to tell you that he is the most fortunate man in the world. He had two loving parents who gave him strong values and taught him the value of work.”

Hillary is actually the biggest offender when it comes to plagiarism, she plagiarized Bernie Sanders so often that the hashtag #StealTheBernwas born.

Obama plagiarized Bush nearly word for word in 2014, but the liberal media didn’t seem to have a problem with that.

Every 4 years, a first lady, or potential first lady, stands on stage at their convention and talks about the same subjects: upbringing, values and family.

In fact, 90% of what we hear this week will probably be rehashed and resaid at the DNC. They’ll just spin it around to be all about race, class warfare, illegal immigrants and insulting police, of course.

Almost as intriguing as the story of Jonah staying alive in a large fish for 3 days. Hard to swallow this story also.
