  New Light! “Invisible Armageddon!”

  by jstalin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is going to be announced that with all the anticipation for the coming of armageddon, we didnt notice the actual event.

  thats right, it was an invisible armageddon.

  if we take the 70 years of captivity, plus 1914, we get 1984. then we use the people equal hours rule and apply it to the 144,000, using division, and we get 6,000. then we use the hours equal years rule to divide 6,000 by 360 to get 16.66 additional years, add that to 1984, and we get the year 2000 for armageddon!

  Anonymous domain name registration?

  by IT Support in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone have any experience regarding anonymously registering a new domain name?

  there are a number of us registrars offering anonymous, or private, domain name registration, where the registrar registers the new domain name in their own name but the customer has full rights to use, trade, sell the name, etc.

  they usually charge an additional $5 to $10 per month for the service.

  Thanks, Nathan, for keeping us posted.
  
  PrivaCash sounds good, but their website (www.privacash.com) gives the impression that one can only reload the card at CVS/Wallgreens locations, but not buy it there. Is that true?
  
  If one can BUY the card at CVS/Wallgreens, then Mr. Luna's suggestion is great.

  making 1914 crumble

  by googlemagoogle in

  2. beliefs

  yet another 1914 thread?

  there are plenty of threads already about chronology, babylonian kings, egyptian kings, median and persian kings, there is also lots of information available about old bible-students and jw literature.

  even a simplified chronology including "fallen baby" and "evil duck" is available somewhere on this site.

  "no JW would deny that the bible students expected the end of the world in 1914"
  This assumption is wrong, as they would. Yes, they would.
  And why? Because the WTS lies today about what they believed then.

  Nathan,
  thanks for posting the web address of J.J.Luna's website.
  Also thanks for sharing the info on his JW background. The info you posted is consistent with some pieces of info he gives away in his book; also with his cultistic way of thinking (I read the sample
  chapters available in his website...).
  Let's hope that he answers Diego's questions. :)
  This board has a group of people I'd miss if they left. You're one of them.
  Thanks a lot.

  has this 2005 federal court decision been previously posted?

  jehovah's witnesses lose facial challenge to puerto rico controlled access law .

  in an opinion that has recently become available, the federal district court in puerto rico last month rejected a facial constitutional attack by jehovah's witnesses to the commonwealth's controlled access law.

  "Not sure from this thread whether this was en banc or a full court decision. If the U.S. Supreme Court hears an appeal though it will be another win for Jehovah's Witnesses.
  
  The law violates many free speech activities including polling, political campaigning, petition drives, charitable solicitation, etc."
  
  I'm glad you point that out, Eduardo. 'Cause that's exactly what I had in mind.
  Just look at that case WTBTS versus Stratton (I think) which that WTBTS won precisely for that reasons you pointed out above.

  the disaster relief committee at patterson organized 3 meetings this past memorial day, monday september 5, 2005. the meetings were held in lake charles, louisiana; bossier city, louisiana; and ball, louisiana.

  over 1,200 elders were in attendance from louisiana, missouri, arkansas, and texas.

  i took horrible notes, but want to share a few things.. the elder opening the meeting emphasized the importance of confidentiality.

  DoingMyPart,
  thanks for not keeping that big, huge, wonderful secret. Oh my! Oh my!
  Several interesting points in your notes, but one that I don't quite get is this one here:
  "There is a wireless computer hub being setup in Houston. At this hub, they are developing software just for Katrina relief, and they also have a dedicated line to Patterson."
  So, JWs are in shelters in need of everything from toothpaste to bookbags and the "brothers" are developing software for Katrina relief? :( What the heck?
  I just hope that people on this board don't go around spreading all this privileged and sensitive information. :)
