.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
Any person without some predisposed negative attitude on the JDubs would think this video was great.
.
experience makes all the difference, doesn't it? From the outside, Jim Jones looked like a great guy too....right up to the point he served KoolAid for lunch.
.
not loudly, but just so your table could hear?.

"Oh Lord, I thank you that I was not born a woman, or as one of these wretched other pizza eaters. I pray over my pizza three times a day, and give a tenth of all I have to the temple..."
.
pass the parmesian, please.
if death is the payment for one's sins, and a person lives through armageddon and beyond without dying, how does that person pay for their sins?
how would a jw answer that?.
"penis people"
LOL.
Occasionally you V-Jay-Jay people are pretty funny.
jws always touted wwis beginning in 1914 as evidence that the kingdom was born in heaven in that year.
i was told that since satan was cast out of heaven, he started stirring up trouble on earth - like wwi.
but theres one problem with that wwi started some months before oct 1914 (the month when the kingdom was supposedly born).. i asked jws about that in the mid 1980s, and i was told that satan started wwi before oct 1914 to divert attention away from the birth of the kingdom.
"...it not possible for everyone in the world to literally see Jesus all at the same time".
.
So I guess that means with God all things are NOT possible...so much for that theory.
Mental is right.
heard from an elder friend in so.
cal that the san diego convention has new rules this year:.
no ezups or beach umbrellas.
to Vidiot: "All we are is dust in the wind, dude."
Said to either So Crates or Beeth oven, I don't remember which. It definitely wasn't to Ms. of Arc

You bring up some excellent arguments, Magnum, but unfortunately such simple logic will make no headway with a JW.
.
To your point, had nothing happened in 1914 that fit WT prophecy, and life went on normally, I'm sure WT would have argued that WW1 DID happen...."invisibly".
Even if we show a little humor and accept WTs explanation as-is, the bigger question becomes: how completely inept is Jesus, in that he's supposed to be the new most-powerful king of the new most-powerful government in history- yet no one notices the event and his opponent easily diverts attention from him and wins the day?

@ Vidiot: Now who's trying to be punny?
.
I'm trying "really hard"....
i am the worlds greatest lover!.
do i really expect you to be believe that?.
honestly?.
"He said "Beavis".....uh-huhuh, uh-huhuhuh..."
I credited you with a Mulligan pun, Vidiot.
I thought it was funny, intended or not.

In true WT-style, they've figured out how to inconvenince large numbers of JWs, then call it a "test of our obedience to theocratic direction". The JW propogandist at 6:00 minutes shows that his cong. is right next to the northern MARTA station- but the GB has directed those brothers to travel 25 miles to the other end of town to use the southern MARTA station instead. Nicely done, WT !!
.
15 nights of entertainment and 18 sight-seeing tours are scheduled for the three convention weekends.
By my count:
> "Atlanta" = 13 mentions
> "Governing Body" = 5 mentions
> "Jehovah" = 5 mentions
> "Jehovah's Witnesses" = 4 mentions
> "Jesus" = not one mention !
.
It would appear Jesus has been relegated to the "who's that?" category along with Russell.

Magnum: What's next - congregation softball teams?
That would take some balls for sure.

According to the video, delegates will be rooming for the convention with JWs who live in a house like this :
But realistically, it'll probably be something more like this:
