  Surprise ! Surprise ! 2015 Arrives and NO Armageddon or World's " End " - Go Figure

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  i guess 99.9 % of ex-jw's here could have predicted as much .

  armageddon didn't happen in 1914. it didn't happen in 1925. it didn't happen in 1975. and it did not happen in 2014. since the wt society first predicted a world's end when their organization started in 1879 - 126 years have passed which according to any dictionary in any human language 126 years comprises of 4 separate generations each totaling 30 years each.

  plus 6 years into a 5th generation.

  Well here we are , halfway through the second decade of the 21st century - and still the "old world" carries on. Would you have believed it if ,like me, you were a small youngster in "it" in the '60's?

  Impossible ! "The Kingdom" was more real to us than anything of this world. I would never have accepted that this would be the outcome - but it is !

  I was a youngster in the 1980's, and am now 35 yrs old!  I too cannot even fathom that we are past the year 2000, much less 2014!  The constant bombardment from the cradle on up was that the New System would be here before I even got to high school, surely before I graduated!  (I did, in 1997)  My son is 10, and I'm so glad I never filled his head with this end-of-world apocalyptic fear-mongering garbage!

  kinda sad really.

  i have nothing against the people who run the business, they're just trying to make a buck, but i'm soooo glad i'm out of that boring cult.. did you see the governing body's invitation?

  Have I mentioned lately how utterly repulsed I am, to see what the religion of my youth (1980's) has "evolved" into? It is truly unrecognizeable. This type of self-agrandizing, shameless money grubbing, and showy display (HQ's and branches look incredible!) would have never flown in the old hard-liner religion of the 1980's. What an incredible sight to behold! They have truly gotten some outside PR firm to cook this sh*t up, cause I don't believe even they could promote themselves in such a fashion. Mormonism better watch out! Wait, who I am kidding? Mormons actually have schools and take care of their own, haha!!

  That Caleb video is pure youth-indoctrination. Russia or North Koreans would be proud of this propoganda garbage. Wow!

  Question: Are the women in the photo with the JW set-up, were they local JW's, or did they get off the cruise ship and set it up?

  Reason I ask is simple, and think about this con!!!! You are a JW. You go on a cruise as a nice vacation. So what do you do? You wear your stupid JW.org pin on your clothing the whole trip. Then, at ports of call you drag out this literature cart and set it up on your way out for the day for your excursions. At the end of the day, you pack it back up into it's wheeled dolly and get back on the ship and leave. Now get this.....you count the ENTIRE trip, the ENTIRE vacation, as "Field Service Time" because you were "representing Jehovah." And if anyone was gullible enough to take any of the tracts you had sitting out, well then you get to count placements too.....for doing absolutely NOTHING!

  ^^^ That right there, would be pure genius. And honestly, I think that might be what happened cause I remember you said they were on the ship wearing their pins. UGH!!! Probably drinking booze like water too while wearing the pins! Ha!

  I've been to Cozumel and took the 2.5 hr bus ride into Chitzen Itza and visited the ruins for a day.

  yesterday local needs was this theme.

  are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.

  at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?

  Jesus didn't go "undercover" to point out the hypocrisy and injustices of the Temple Scribes and Pharisees of His day, did He? Didn't he actually go and turn tables up on them? That would have been very bold and forward at that time I would think. He wasn't all covert. Why then, should all of us be hiding under a rock? If this guy wants to up and enter a Kingdom Hall and turn tables on these Neo-Pharisees, I say let him do it. Maybe a few will think, "Gee.....if this guy has nothing of merit to say and it isn't true, why are the Elders trying to shut him up?"

  I'd take that photo and make it my FB profile picture, just to piss off my "former" family. Cause I tell you, any parents that would treat me the way your parents have treated you, sure as h*ll wouldn't be called "family" to me. They would be called "crazy cruel cultists" that I would never want to see again.

  Instead of weeping for what could of been, you should pat yourself on the back for getting your family away from such toxic individuals....because that's exactly what they are - TOXIC.

  Dad's in the hospital? He's had a stroke? They are all sad and regretful? Well now, I guess they've reaped what they've sewn. Let the fine loving Congregation full of their "spiritual brothers and sisters" come visit them in the nursing home and wipe their azzes. Ha! (like that's ever going to happen!) After all, that's what the WT has continually piped into their brains, that YOU are DEAD, and that the Congregation is their family, right?

  I feel for you and your situation, but not for the people who have inflicted so much pain upon you. Concentrate on your current family who actually treat you as such, and forget about the people who tossed you out like trash over 25 years ago.

  Wait, this letter was all caused because of no-shave Movember? WTF?????

  What a CULT. If crap like this doesn't prove it's a high-control group and uncaring CULT, I don't know what does.

  Can't even support a different charity for a month? What a bunch of money-grubbing morons. I still can't get over some of shallow-mindedness I/we were all subjected to.

  Let's review: It's a CULT!

  2 Faced JWs and Thanksgiving

  many jws enjoy turkey on thanksgiving day and are often discreet about their indulgences.

  why be two faced?

  why try to excuse it?.

  THANKSGIVING: Began as the annual autumn harvest in Hebrew called "Festival of Booths" or "Festival of Ingathering" (of crops with thanks to Him) (Lev 23:33, Deu 16:13) now celebrated in numerous nations on many continents.

  By denying normal holiday feasts and family gatherings, the JW.org has "gone beyond what is written." Actually, they are actually going against what the scriptures actually state.

  Proof? Unlike the JW.org, I've got the scriptures on my side:

  Colossians 2:16 says, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by food, drink, a religious festival, New Moon celebration or Sabbath day."

  ^^ There's a scripture I bet the Org wishes didn't exist. They never quote it, and am surprised they didn't remove it from their "new and improved" silver sword Bible, what with it directly contradicting what they preach.

  If YHWH wants them to go house to house, he should part the snow drifts like he did the Red Sea. I mean c'mon, this is life-saving work that MUST be done!

  Nevermind. I see that instead of parting the drifts he is sending the Sun God Ra out to melt all the snow this weekend and cause flooding, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Noah's Day. Whoooaa.....to all the pregnant women in Buffalo, NY!
