  Questions From Readers 1957 watchtower : Guess who was Armageddon in 1957?

  don't be confused .when i say who i mean who because back in 1957 jehovah's witnesses didn't believe that armageddon was just the gathering of the kings of the earth to battle with the invisible armies of jesus' angels.no ,armageddon was more than that and it did fit bible account far more than it does today .. read the post below which contains a 1957 question from readers (please let me know if the page is displaying correctly on your browser).

  is armageddon a place ?.

  Them thinking that pioneering is equal to my full time job!

  by LongHairGal in

  2. experiences

  this was a topic that annoyed me and i got into a bit of an argument years ago over this.. some sister (who never worked a day in her life i might add) with the cushy life, affluent husband thought that because she pioneered it was equal to me having a full time secular job.

  there were others there who naively thought the same thing.

  somehow i gave them an inferiority complex because i worked so they had to dream this up to make themselves feel better.. while i agree that someone who pioneers may be physically tired at the end of the day, there is no comparison to what i have to deal with in going to and from and being on a full time job.

  The talks and comments about how dubs working full-time were somehow less spiritual and needed to examine their circumstances to find more time to pioneer used to make me cringe. I worked full time supporting my family while pioneering yet was chastised by the trust-fund crowd for working so much. Easy to say when you've never had the sole responsibility to provide for your family, when you've always had money or when your hubby brings it all home to you.

  It's not about hours....it's their attitude. Smug, self-righteous, and the last ones to lend you a hand should you need it.

  Nice to no longer hear those conversations on a regular basis!!!

  Our CO said that if you continue to associate with DF'd relatives..YOU WOULD BE DF'd too!!! This was from stage at the DC!! I wonder what he would say if I told him he contradicted the FDS's direction in the Shepherd book??? Oh, wait!!

  LET'S REVIEW: IT'S A FRACKING CULT!!!

  DD

  Once upon a time in the land of jw make-believe, associating with df'd ones WAS a df'ing event. Then they flipped to It's Okay But Only For Family Business. Then they flopped to Just Be Discreet About It. Maybe they're getting ready to flip-flop yet again.

  It IS one of their trademarks.

  to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.

  consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

  i've gotten used to the almost daily offers to get your pastoral degree now but this one just make me laugh.

  make phil rich by joining his slice a loaf gang.... if people spent their time and energy investing in their family and other relationships in this life, rather than spending their 70 years focused on a pretend-future, imagine how much better the earth would be...all the people living life in peace... .

  (sorry, tried to downsize the banner but not having success with that.

  i was watching a couple videos on youtube earlier and always like to peruse the comments at the bottom of the page.. i'm no sure if this has been discussed recently, but one indivdual made the claim that the societies numbers are massively over inflated, as he/she believes that they include inactive, df'd and da'd in their figures.. does anyone have any information to confirm this or i this just another assumption made without evidence?.

  (also has anyone heard from witnessmyfury lately?

  i had a pm chat with him a few days ago but not had a reply to my latest msgs.

  So the myriad of faders is included along with baby doorbell-ringers. It's the only way they could be as large as they claim.

  wow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.

  we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".

  yeah, right ... sparlock?.
