hey all, hope you're having a great year so far.. before witnet was closed down, there was an interesting discussion regarding the fds and their failed prophecies.

i asked a question, but unfortunately there wasn't enought time to get everyone's view.. so i'll rephrase my posts, and wait to hear from y'all.. if we are so quick to say that the fds is a false prophet because of some failed prophecies (even tho they say they don't prophecy, we all know better) then how would you explain the bible book of jonah?.

a faithful prophet, jonah, followed (after much trial and tribulation to himself) jehovah's command to declare destruction on the city of nineveh.

Hey, we can tell even when we look away, You guys think your soooo clever. The reflective sunglass don't work either. How many guys at the DC tried that one [=:0]!

I'm glad your going to try and find the answers. If you have any particular questions feel free to post them, I'm sure you'll get pleny of help.

Freeminds is a great place, so is H2O. You really should read "Crisis of Conscience".

If they are annionted and recieve holy sprit on their descions why does the GB need a 2/3 vote to get something passed. Wouldn't they all be getting the same 'spirit'.

Questions that make you go hmmmmmm?

Hey lark, so you have a prob with eye contact eh? I know your type.

So you want to know what I meant. Well I was a 3rd gen JW. Then last April I realised that the FDS was just an illustration and that the "Truth" was not what I thought it was. We did some reseach and decided that it was wrong, and I couldn't keep up a lie. So I deceded to leave. It was a shock to my life. I was a reg pioneer in my 4th year, my dad was the PO, we'd been in the same hall for 20 years and suddenly none of my famuly or friends will talk to me. It's been about 8 months now and it was devestating at first. They think I've left Jehovah, actually I finaly found him.

I'm glad for my spritual freedom, but do miss my friends and family. All this over an illustration, pretty amazing [=:0]

The FDS was simply an illustration that Jesus was giving about how they needed to keep awake, just like all the other illustrations in the chap. It was not given as a basis for authority. There is no such things as an FDS class. Anyone can be faitful and discreet.

I mean it's like me claiming to be of the 'wise virgins class' [8>]

Me too I have the soundtrack on CD, it doesn't have the flesh would scene on it though, and that's sad. But it has the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. That's my fav.

If I’d been tried on H2O here’s what part of my trial might have sounded like:

JW’S: An Apostate! An Apostate! An Apostate! We've got an Apostate! An Apostate!
FRED HALL: We have found an Apostate, might we disfellowship her?
JW’S: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship!
YK: How do you know she is a Apostate?
FRIDAY: She looks talks one.
YK: Bring her forward.
VENICE: I'm not a Apostate. I'm not a Apostate.
YK: But they say you speak like one.
VENICE: It’s all things they have taught.
JW’S: No, we didn't... no.
VENICE: the WTS is not a true prophet; it's a false one.
YK: Well?
FRED HALL: Well, we did change some things.
YK: The dates?
FRED HALL: And some doctrines -- but she is a Apostate!
JW’S: Disfellowship her! Apostate! Apostate! Disfellowship her!
YK: Did you teach her these things?
JW’S: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, yes, a bit, a bit.
FRED HALL: She has got a different Bible.
YK: What makes you think she is a Apostate?
7: Well, she’s done research on our religion.
YK: Research?
7: Yes, she found out the truth!
FRIDAY: Disfellowship her anyway!
JW’S: Disfellowship! Disfellowship her!
YK: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
she is a Apostate.
JW’S: Are there? What are they?
YK: Tell me, what do you do with Apostates?
FRIDAY: Disfellowship!
JW’S: Disfellowship, disfellowship them up!
YK: And what do you disfellowship apart from Apostates?
FRED HALL: More Apostates!
FRIDAY: Sinners?
YK: So, why do we disfellowship Apostates?
[pause]
7: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
YK: Good!
JW’S: Oh yeah, yeah...
YK: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
FRED HALL: Build a bridge out of her.
YK: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
FRIDAY: Oh, yeah.
YK: Does wood sink in water?
FRED HALL: No, no.
FRIDAY: It floats! It floats!
FRED HALL: Throw her into the pond!
JW’S: The pond!
YK: What also floats in water?
FRED HALL: Bread!
FRIDAY: Apples!
7: Very small rocks!
FRED HALL: Cider!
FRIDAY: Great gravy!
FRED HALL: Cherries!
FRIDAY: Mud!
7: Churches -- churches!
FRIDAY: Lead -- lead!
Milton H: A duck.
JW’S: Oooh.
YK: Exactly! So, logically...,
FRED HALL: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
YK: And therefore--?
FRED HALL: An Apostate!
JW’S: An Apostate!
YK: We shall use my larger scales!
[yelling]
YK: Right, remove the supports!
[whop]
[creak]
JW’S: An Apostate! An Apostate!
VENICE: It's my lawyer!!
JW’S: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship! [yelling]
YK: Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
MILTON H.: I am a MILTON H., of the GB.
YK: My liege!
MILTON H.: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Brooklyn,
and join us on the Governing Body?
YK: My liege! I would be honored.
MILTON H.: What is your name?
YK: You Know, my leige.
MILTON H.: Then I dub you Sir YK, Knight of the GB table.
