  2001 vs 1975

  by Amazing in

  in 1975 jws had several things going for them.

  the ex-jws that left because of earlier prophetic failures had no real way to reach us.

  most jws were of a newer generation, eager for something to happen given the times we lived in.

  Hello, Amazing. Glad to see you. Always love your posts.

  The JW's are too tired to be worked into a frenzy. I never saw so many tired people in one place in my life the last time I was in a Congo (May of this year). I really think their 9-11 attitude is somewhat like "Just another (yawn) sign, yadayaaya". The GB is afraid to prophesize anymore because they know of the false prophet accusations that have be railed against them by US. I told my loyal Dub friend(?) before I DA'd myself that they were false prophets and lying to her. Her response was "At least they have the courage to admit to it". Typical loyal narrow-minded WT robot parrot response.

  What scares me is that the WTS is so busy "buryng" their old literature by not making it readily available, that the new JW's of the future may never really learn what a ridiculous false prophet organization this is and has been right from its start. Important to keep it all available on the Net.

  (I think this is my 100th post...is that Master?)
  (Nope....one more)
  (Nope...just how many makes Master?)

  Now just a cottin pickin' minute, Patio. I AM one of those "gatekeeper" Secretaries (excuse me...Executive Adminsitrative Assistant...sigh!). If I put every sales/survey/"need a job person" into my boss, I'd be out on the street in no time flat. [>:(] I do, however, try to inquire tactfully and intelligently; unlike Mindchild's No. 6 clerk at WalMart who defnitely was not using her brain.

  By the way...WalMart advertises they are lowering prices everyday. If that's the case, how come nothing is free yet? [8>]

  2 nails in the coffin due to the internet

  unfortunately, my wt library isn't working so i can't post an actual quote (i suppose the witness god put an electronic curse on it), however - do you remember those really good(?

  ) articles telling us how the witnesses have always used the latest technology in spreading "this good news" to all parts of the world?.

  there was phonograms, photo dramas of creation, latest printing facilities and the first of it's kind multi lingual photo type setting equipment and so on.. and then came the internet, well i mean the proliferation of internet use as the internet has been around since the 60's in one form or another.. there are two problems as i see it with the internet:.

  CONTROL is the name of the game, folks. They oppose the Net because they can't CONTROL the information on the Net like they do with everything they feed their congregation members. Bragging about their technical knowledge is what they like to do but that was before everyone jumped on board the Internet, including major publishing companies. They have no business bragging any longer. If they continue to do so, the JW's personally are going to wind up with egg on their face at the door just like the one that JT encountered. The WTS is pathetic.

  Somebody: You're right. I think the age was 14. I was typing on the computer and watching at the same time. That's what I get. It was a rather upsetting thing to watch. Unbelievable.

  Just finished watching DATELINE. A small community Baptist church in Atlanta conducts child beatings (for disciplinary purposes) everyday in the church services. Children are hung by arms and beat with belts leaving severe scarring. Usually performed by the parents or relatives and continue until the preacher says its enough (sometimes 1/2 hour). The preacher sometimes conducts marathon church services lasting 8 hours and causes the kids to miss school the next morning. In order to curb fornication amongst the children, he arranges marriages for the children when they reach 16 and orders the parents to send the children across the border to get married. They gladly follow his instruction. He states he is acting according to Bible principles (sound familiar?).

  The State has taken away more than 41 children of the congregation and placed them in foster care. Judge said basically the parents are very good parents (???) except for the beatings, arranged marriages, and allowing 8-hour sermons. He said if they stopped, he would return the children. The parents refused! Battle still going on. They LOVE their preacher............

  Kids being torn from their parents. Why? Because they were whipped, with their parents' permission, in of all places--church. Authorities disagreed, and put dozens of the kids in protective custody. Who's really looking out for the kids?

  If this has been posted...my apologies. Just got home and went directly to Dateline. Will be watching. Anyone else?

  Crisis of Conscience was mine. However, has anyone read the books by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye on the LEFT BEHIND SERIES (Rapture, Desecration, Apollyon, etc.)? If so, what are your thoughts. They looked interesting but kind of dark. So I was just wondering. Sorry, I didn't read the thread real close. So I apologize is it has been mentioned. I will read more carefully after this post.

  P.S. Just read post...Not mentioned so far.
