It's about 30 miles south of Gadsden. Yeah, I know 2 of the JC members who DF him. When I gave Public Talks in the 90's down that way, I would hear first hand accounts from those who had experiences related to Ray Franz, Willie Anderson, Felix and Earl Parnell, Theotis French, Bobby Rogers and others.

For Christians: What do you think about an Armagedon and the Afterlife

by John Davis in

i don't mean for anyone to get into argument over this, i just want to hear what people believe.i hope that no one will mock or argue with someone else about their beliefs, i know that i won't in this topic.. i still believe in a christian god, not what jws believe, but believe that there has to be something after this life.

i am not sure about how armageddon would go, would it be like how evangelicals believe with a rapture or timing or anything, though i still believe in a form of armageddon.

i do think that all good people will go to heaven but i don't believe in a hell.

@ unsure

Just checked out your History of postings, You're a deep thinker. I kinda don't go to your depths in seeking knowledge, my head can't handle all the theories out there.

This question is probably asked by everyone here. I'm so mixed up, I don't know what to believe! The Watchtowers' constant changes when their expected prophecies go unfulfilled, causes all of us to question, what the Hell is the real truth, has much of my zeal been wasted, where do I go from here?

Special Bethelite Speakers

by JW_Rogue in

i've noticed that some elders will insist on getting a special bethel speaker for memorials, special talks, or sometimes for no reason at all!

i believe they are trying build connections they can use later, but who pays for it?

the congregation does and as a former account servant i can tell you airfare isn't all that cheap.

We Had Rudy Hardle and his wife from Patterson last year give our Memorial and Public Talk. Very enjoyable and it only cost us $1100, cheaper than for a Circuit Assembly. Our congregation likes to do this every 3 years(invite a Bethelite to speak).

What happened in 1995?

by pale.emperor in

i was born in 1984 so was only 9yo in 1995. i read on various posts on here and on other websites about false expectations about 1975 and 1995. i'm aware of the 1975 failure but what was said in 1995?.

James Jack

If you do a Wikipedia search on "Generation", it will say 20 to 40 years long. Jesus first application of the term "Generation" was applied in the year of 33 C.E. when he mentioned the destruction of Jerusalem. It happened 37 years later in 70 C.E., when Jerusalem was destroyed, well within the correct terminology of the word "generation", not what the Watchtower made up and ongoing changing definition is.

Bravo my friend! I have never met a Mechanic who can carry himself the way you have on these various issues. You have my attention. To get your story out, maybe you could shorten it to several paragraphs and send it to several News outlets, it just might get published by some. Also, Youtube is always a good format to get the message out.
