I also came across in The Old Theology a date of 1915 highlighted in one of the articles, so give or take a year, doesn't really matter if you are mind numbed.

432520-607 = 1913
by schnell ini love math, i love calendars, and somehow, this always gets me.. 2520 - 607 = 1913. not 1914.. 2520 - 606 = 1914. from what i understand, russell realized this.
he had previously used 606 bc, of course, but then he switched it to 607 bc.
i know there was something about no zero year, so it actually should be less one, correct?.

Internally rolling my eyes.. Get this
by raven ina bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?
wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?
) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.

Sorry for your loss, this nut sounds like a relic of the 60,s and 70,s which we called "Jesus Freaks". They talked up Jesus 24/7 and when you saw one, you would immediately go the other way, to avoid being sent to hell by them for their Pharisitic blabber. All religions have a few and then they become leaders...

New light in this weeks WT?
by Indian Larry inanybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?
for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.
in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

As I heard before, the only new light coming out of the 2017 Watchtower is when you set it on fire and watch the new light...

The fireworks were great to watch, or was it protests. Did Obama pardon Hillary? I remember in my work coming across an old lady, that was almost as histerical as some are now , when Obama was elected in 2008. She said he was the anti christ and in her own way thought it was the end of the world. We did ok under Obama and we will do ok with this character, If he gets off course, they can impeach him, and this time congress won't be afraid to impeach because voters won't call them racists. I think it is time for the pendalum to swing back, to give the other side time to regroup and re troup.

Growing up I had to attend this king of service and I just deplored when they asked you to raise your hand and sway. I refused to copy all the other "Jesus Freaks" as they were called, and just watched. Its almost as if you were agreeing to everything the leader was saying if you raised your hand, and if you just stood there or sat there, you were looked upon as an outsider, a non-believer, someone to shun...other religions have their means of DA,d

I am a Living Time Machine
by TerryWalstrom inwhich world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

doesn't this environment encourage the pedofile to seek out kingdom halls, because he or she knows they won't be reported as readily as anywhere else. seems like they would be the next "great crowd" to enter into the kingdom halls. Such an environment creeps me out, and this alone keeps me out and I'm sure others. Any new studies should be looked upon as suspect, especially if they just "showed up"

“9 Some may feel that they can interpret the Bible on their own. However, Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book and heed its directives. By obeying the instructions found in the Bible, we promote cleanness, peace, and unity in the congregation. Each one of us does well to ask himself, ‘Am I loyal to the channel that Jesus is using today?’
”
Excerpt From: WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower, November 2016.” iBooks.
So they just change 1914 to 1919 willi nilli.? Lies are now in every paragraph, and they are proud of it.
