Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

by blablabluh in

i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

"when I asked about the cry of peace and security"

There will be no Cry of Peace and Security. It is not a prophesy.

What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?

back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.

some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.

women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

I've heard people say that about Star Wars. But they forget about the Book of the Wars of Jehovah.

Mine was driving a 2 door car in service.

I was handling the microphones and wore a shirt with the top button unbuttoned under the tie because the neck was too short.

When I did the count, I walked too far up the aisle to count the people.

Interesting Find with Chronology

by Kelley959 in

i hope this is in the right area.

i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.

for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.

Jeffro, 605 or 607, it does not matter. Chronology from back then wasn't that accurate as they didn't keep good records. If chronology mattered, they would have started counting years when Adam was created or at the flood.

587 is correct, so is 607 and so is 1914. Why do you all make is so difficult?

Jerusalem was destroyed in 587.

Zedekiah was king for 11 years starting in 598.

Jehoikim was king for 11 years starting around610.

Dan 1:1 says "In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it." And Daniel was taken captive.

The 3rd year of Jehoiakim was 607 That started the 70 years of captivity that ended in 537. That also started the 7 times when the kings sitting on the throne of Jehovah would cease being sovereign rulers. That would last 2520 years or 7 times. And that would end in 1914 when Jesus would be sovereign king on Jehovah's throne in heavenly Jerusalem.

$15.00 minimum wage

by hoser in

while we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.

pros and cons?.

Rattigan350

I'm against raising the minimum because it does nothing. It raises everything to the next level and we are where we are at now.

What is your status (as of today) as a Jehovah's Witness?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

Rattigan350

#3. I think meetings and assemblies are a waste of time. Online is better. This covid shutdown has been good for the fade. I stopped attending in Sept 2019. I never got the info for the zoom meetings. In Feb an elder called and wanted to talk to me but I ignored that. I felt that I don't need to burn any bridges, I just don't need to cross them either.

The WT will now produce a Jesus Movie (Series)

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i'm actually looking forward to their warped view of matthew, mark, luke and john for this.

the drama from 2015 wasn't that bad.

however.... yeah steven lett mentions othe films about jesu are plagued with false religion.

Rattigan350

The Watchtower has the most accurately based belief as to Jesus so it won't be warped.

1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things

by Ding in

awake!

"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.

because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

Rattigan350

Please stop bringing this up. So what that the Watchtower or the Awake! said someting.
