Yes, you could be anointed before 1919 or 1914. They can't ever take that away. But, they had to find a way to minimize has his bat shit crazy writings. Most JWs today would consider you an apostate if they saw you reading his books. It's like an unspoken rule that the old books were crazy and "new light" makes them irrelevant, so reading "old light" is BAD!

Memorial Attendance: The Single Most Impactful TTATT "Witness" to Family and Friends
by AMNESIANO inanyone who has awakened to ttatt and conscientiously left the organization--especially a once-prominent individual from a prominent multi-generational tribe of jws-- after decades of devout, high-profile "serve-us," who continues to put in an annual appearance at the memorial thoroughly subverts and undermines, by this one act, any hope s/he may entertain that his/her departure will stir family or former friends to question the whole watchtower bamboozle.
by this one concession s/he assigns him-/herself by every single jw to their handy and dimissive purgatory: the "spiritually-weak.".
nothing blasts a louder, clearer, and more deliberate message to the jws who personally knew you and those familiar with your jw bona fides that you are not merely "not making the meetings" or "spiritually-weak" but that there is a conscientious reason you have rejected the entire watchtower society life than choosing to forego what they know you know to be their one-and-only holy and sacred event of the year, the lord's evening meal.

First memorial of my life I'll miss this year. Can't go. Don't believe, can't subject myself or my child to indoctrination. Family won't talk to me anyways... It's funny that JW family think the memorial is a magic bullet to protect you.

Deuteronomy 22:28,29. Thank Jebus nobody pays attention to this f*cked up part of "God's inspired word" any more.
by DuvanMuvan in28 if a man happens to meet a virgin girl who is not engaged and he seizes her and lies down with her and they are discovered,+29 the man who lay down with her must give the girls father 50 silver shekels, and she will become his wife.+ because he humiliated her, he will not be allowed to divorce her as long as he lives.

Genesis account shaken!
by exWTslave inpeople who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.
according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.
but an experiment conducted at the south pole, two weeks back, has caught ripples in the oldest light in the universe.

How do you pick and choose what to believe in the texts? You say "some of the stuff".
I feel sorry for the people who "appreciated" the learning you offer.
If your criteria for finding answers to lifes questions is just that some old book says it is so, then possibly you need to try critical thinking.
But, you are preaching your message here right? You are telling the people the whole truth? You are offering salvation for them?

There were no anti-theist people before theist people. Why? Because our ancestors 20k, 30k, 40k years ago invented gods to explain the explainable around them. So people went from regular normal people to theist people, and then anti-theist people. So you do not get dibs on being first. There was no god when our ancestors were walking the earth. They made them up.
The same "gods" that captivated our early ancestors still captivate you Snowbird. You reach out to books that were written recently and that no normal religion I know of considers inspired, and you use them to explain things in your bible that clearly do not make sense. You enjoy posting your nonsense to people that do not think you are right, or intelligent.
You may be a nice caring person I would enjoy having coffee with or smoking a pipe with or sitting on the porch and talking about politics with, but why do you post this nonsense when you know its silly to everyone but you? If you are just bored, why not start a thread about a topic that isn't devoid of science and facts?
