October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!
by Oubliette inon october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.
tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?
still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

So armageddon "draws ever near"-a synonym is "creep up". Wouldn't that sound great in a song?
Also like "those who bring us shame" - how do you bring someone shame? It's not like a gift, right?

And unstable people are easily coerced by powerful organizations to do the will of said organizations.

My Lecturer booby-trapped me - Patterns of Authority in Early Christian Communities
by fulltimestudent ini have a 2500 word essay due next tuesday, so i shall be invoiced until then.
and, i already have been turned upside down.. even though there are set topics for the main essay, it is possible to negotiate for an essay on a subject of personal interest.
i'd been thinking about the development of leadership in the early christian congregation, so i asked my lecturer, if i could write on that.. he asked me for a brief outline of what i was thinking, so i reviewed my early thoughts - that jesus primarily had left no clear instructions (because he was expecting divine intervention and the restoration of the kingdom), but he had trained his disciples in missionary work - which i interpreted to mean that jesus expected his own ministry to continue, to provide the judean people with continued guidance, modelled on what he (jesus) had done.. but as christianity developed (and the expectations of jesus remained unfulfilled) a different model developed and i wanted to explore the model we see developing in the nt (think pauline) and where that model came from and then transformed into the monarchial model with bishops.. .

It's a one-word question.
by new hope and happiness in" dinosaurs" .
i mean why didn't the bible cover it?.

Hmmm....so if dinosaurs were created by this almighty-god-person to prepare the world for humans....they are the reason we have fossil fuels, right? So this almighty-god-person meant for humans to have petroleum and screw up the atmosphere and pollute the earth. Ahh, it all makes sense now.

This is disturbing at so many levels. I listened to a good part of Blondie's post but just had to turn it off as it made me physically cringe.
I am soooooooooo glad to be Out.

Awaken...so happy you have your son and you've saved him from living the life of lies. Sorry that your family is treating you harshly, but when you step back and consider their thought processes, you know they are just parroting the nonsense that's been drilled into their brains. At the bottom of it all, where their True Personalities lie, they still love you and always will. Take heart that things will get better, but right now you're suffering through the tough part.
Remember we are here for you. Huge hugs to you and your son and your partner.
