  i had a flash back yesterday.

  my non jw husband and i went to disneyland and bought my young daughter a set of 7 dwarf toys.

  after a few months i felt guilty and threw them away, thinking they were demonized.

  Most important possession - self confidence.

  Growing up I always felt inferior, shy and ashamed.

  Good jobs with more money.

  'Jehovah's Kingdom' convention banner

  by undercover in

  making the rounds on facebook is a snapshot of some jws holding a huge banner from the upper deck at a convention.

  it says, "jehovah's kingdom" and underneath a crudely drawn download 'bar' with the number 99% on the right side, as if to say in computer lingo, jah's day is almost here.

  behind are other dubs holding up smaller placards, but i can't remember what they said.. is this a wt sanctioned or approved action?

  My wife told me that there were apostates with signs across the street from the Georgia Dome. I didn't see them.

  this has got to be a joke.

  anyone with half a brain would destroy the logical fallicies in this article.

  You can't destroy the logic of the kingdom starting rule in 1914 because it is logical.

  2 Samuel 7

  (Thisi s one scripture that shows that true prophets can be wrong. "Nathan replied to the king: “Go and do whatever is in your heart, for Jehovah is with you ". Nathan was wrong.)

  12 When your days come to an end+ and you are laid to rest with your forefathers, then I will raise up your offspring* after you, your own son,* and I will firmly establish his kingdom.+ 13 He is the one who will build a house for my name,+ and I will firmly establish the throne of his kingdom forever.+ 14 I will become his father, and he will become my son.+ When he does wrong, I will reprove him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of men.*+ 15 My loyal love will not be taken away from him the way I took it away from Saul,+ whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will be secure forever before you; your throne will be firmly established forever.”’

  But yet David's kingdom was not secure forever. His offspring lost its sovereignty at 607 when Jehoiakim was made a vassel king of Babylon. And Jesus came and went but never took the throne. Something must have changed. That is where Daniel 4 comes in. The kingdom was paused for 2520 years from 607 to 1914.

  This teaching preceeded Russell. It was Barbour that messed up the timetable. Not everything that is from the Bilble and Russellites adopted is wrong.

  The issue is: Does the establishment of the kingdom in heaven require a cult like group? Why does the kingdom require 100 years of satan's having earth as a playground, which is contrary to God being love.

  Writing campaign to Washington DC papers in view of International Convention

  by Londo111 in

  ive heard from a credible source that the landover (dc) international convention is important to the society in view of the 100 year anniversary of "kingdom rule" and the location being near the capital of the "seventh world power".

  perhaps they hope this particular international sends a message.

  we know that come convention time usually there is some feel good fluff piece in the newspapers about the watchtower religion.

  Is that guy in the youtube video from 7/11 really a former JW elder?

  He was actually videoing while driving?

  What about the airplane with the banner saying jehovahs-witness.net or jwfacts.com etc?

  If you had the audience of the GB, what is your #1 question you would ask them?

  by Darth Fader The Sequel in

  2. beliefs

  there are a million of them and mine is by no means the most important question to ask them if i only had one shot at it.

  but, i have always wondered what kind of bs excuse they would give as an answer to this question: "brother goober bum, given that there are both male and female partakers here on earth who claim to be of the 'anointed' and plan on being of the 144,000 ruling with christ in heaven for eternity........ why are the female 'anointed' treated as submissive, second class citizens and why is their opinion on doctrinal matters, matters of teaching and reproving, anything at all.... why are they not recognized while here on earth even though you claim that jesus has selected them to become angels to rule with him?

  ".

  The one about the house to house work, he mentioned about the Mormons not doing house to house in favor of going on the internet. Then says that it is the biblical way. As if those in the Bible had the choice of using internet vs house to house.

  in oregon, during the 4th of july weekend, troopers will be conducting checkpoints to see if someone has been drinking.

  if someone refuses a breath test, they will be forced to have their blood extracted from them.. what do you think of this?.

  Checkpoints are constitutional by the US Supreme court, but several states declared them unconstitutional by their state's constitution.

  If provided to other Witnesses, they may choose to download rather than go and then not going means not contributing and lower attendance, which is the reason why they don't want it distributed.

  by Rattigan350 in

  i was listening to a circuit overseer's talk and he mentioned about how a sister wanted to simplify.

  she had a couple of dogs.

  then he related that she said that all she had to do was get rid of the dogs.

  I was listening to a circuit overseer's talk and he mentioned about how a sister wanted to simplify. She had a couple of dogs. Then he related that she said that all she had to do was get rid of the dogs. I heard a gasp from the audience.

  I then thought that, if it weren't illegal, COs would encourage JWs to get rid of their children.

  What other things would they do if it weren't illegal?
