  scotoma: The question with all these adjusted explanations is why Jehovah would allow his people to be misled in the first place.

  And the answer is: God doesn't have anything to do with it.

  konceptual99: They know nothing. It's just a bogus method of raising expectations without having to say anything of consequence. I think they will be very cautious about ever putting a stake in the ground on this one.

  Well said. They LOVE to raise expectations and create a sense of mystery, but the fact is: they got nothing!

  Be prepared for it to become less concrete and more abstract.

  I'd put it this way, Be prepared for it to become less specific and more vague.

  NDF, the funny thing about it is this: Everyone that is actually posting what they see with their own eyes is saying that the selling off is going on where they are; or, at the very least, there is no building going on.

  The "building" always seems to be "somewhere else."

  As you said, "2 + 2 = 5"

  Cofty: When I was a young JW we never talked about money - EVER. On the other hand we could explain what we believed.

  Those days are clearly gone, on both counts!

  The Day Armageddon Came

  by Londo111 in

  my grandfather only had a third grade education and knew little about the bible when jws called on him.

  he was a different breed of jw than those of modern times.

  he truly cared about people and would give them the shirt off his back.

  Londo,

  Thank you for sharing your personal story.

  What you wrote is disturbing on many levels, but primarily because it's true. It really happened. No, obviously "Armageddon" never came, but it did in the mind of your grandfather and he was terrified. To him, it was real.

  I have come to really, really hate this religion. It doesn't make people happy, it doesn't make them better people, it doesn't improve relationships, it doesn't even help us get a better grip on the cold harsh reality of what it really means to be human. No, it substitutes the harsh reality of life in this universe with a perverse terror far more frightening that the life we really live.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Wow, Jehovah's Witnesses are now officially a cartoon religion!

  Can someone tell me who, in this picture, are the real people and who are the cardboard cut-outs because I'm having a hard time telling them apart!
