  12-year-old thread: JWS/WTS REACHES CRITICAL MASS - A NON-EVENT!

  by steve2 in

  a few days ago, there was renewed interest in a 12-year-old thread which, among other points, argued the watchtower's days were numbered.

  several current posters expressed the view that the wts has not been impacted by any "critical mass" and that it speaks to the immunity of the watchtower to any such "critical mass" event.

  i thought the topic warranted a renewal for wider consideration - with the "benefit" of "12-years" hindsight - so have duplicated one of my responses: .

  This is from a blog run by what appears to be active witnesses, it offers interesting insights. The post is entitled "Are We Nearing a Tipping Point?"

  "In the half century or so that I have been part of Jehovah’s people, I’ve never seen a trend like this. Is this in response to the growing discontent of many due to the failure of past predictions? Does the Governing Body feel their assumed authority to interpret God’s word on our behalf is under siege? Is there a groundswell of brothers and sisters who are quietly expressing disbelief and are no longer willing to blindly accept what is being taught?"

  LOL yes finally awake, when once I told a friend this, that how come in the 21st century our sisters still have to skirts to the meetings, he told me we all knew the rules before we came in, typical indoctrinated thinking. Btw, have you seen this?

  Mormon Women Wear Pants to Church, Get Threatened

  Out of touch much? Do they know what the realities are???

  Exactly baltar447, do they even live on this planet? Oh I forgot, they do, in the ivory watch tower. And also, how many times have you seen hoarders who can't get their garage doors closed because of that problem?

  One is "How to end the Silent treatment" Do they ever listen to themselves?

  My thoughts exactly.

  How about the title "Being Jehovah's Friend Will Give You More Work. Being Sparlock's Friend Will Fill Your Garage With Cool Toys!"

  Yay! Hmm, how about Become Sparlock's Friend: And Play With The Coolest Toys Your JW Friends Can't Have!

  They love laying on the guilt, don't they. Nice joke cover, it says what they really mean.

  Oh my, yes...does that bring me back....Thanks!

  I couldn't help myself and did another:

  Governing body member engaged... Again!

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  2. experiences

  just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.

  it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.

  what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!

  "Millions Now Living Will Never Die," Predicted the Watctower before 1914.

  by Scott77 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  predicted the watctower falsely predicted before 1914 that,"millions now living will never die" before 1914. its now a year before we hit 100 years mark.

  was god's or god's holy spirit guiding them when they falsely predicted that prophesy?

  what is your reaction or perspective on this big lie?.
