Great insight Kepler, you should give us more. I was told the books of Maccabees helps to put the book of Daniel in to a format we can understand better. But yes so many details the jws ignore.

A problem with the book of Daniel
by wozza inleft the wts some years ago, but just before i left we were studying the daniel book that they produced in the book study .. i noticed something wrong in the bible account of daniel and brought this up at the end of the study when the conductor asked if everyone understood that nights study,.
i think i may have started a topic here some years ago about this event ,it was a time when i started to question the wts in my heart and mind.the scriptures are lengthy so i will just shorten things by describing the stories in daniel and how one point really got me thinking about things and perhaps made the brothers wierd out about me sand distance themselves ,here it is..........dan ch 1-4. daniels ( who came to be called belteshazzar)in babylon along with shadrach,meshach & abednego ,daniel,after praying with these 3, interprets and states what nebuchadnezzars dream is( we all know this ,the image with the head of gold body of iron and copper etc) and they are rewarded by being positions of authority.
daniel made ruler of the province and chief prefect over babylons wise men ,the 3 were made overseers of the administation of the province ,all very important jobs ,.

The rank and file have heard this crap for so long and had to deal with so many changes they just deep down don't believe anymore. The old really want it and the younger ones just don't know . My wife in her 40's doesn't talk to me much but she has related to me several times of her thought of death of old age. She has never said she believes she'll live in to a new system . Deep down it's a pipe dream, just like the Muslim martyr who is told if he blows himself up he will go to heaven and get 72 virgins. If he's a little young teenager 14-17 he believes but by the time he's 22 he's maybe believing he going to heaven but no longer believes he will get 72 virgins. -

How wonderful is JW.ORG
by Sabin inthere are some who still love the organization & the people in it.. who understand that every large organization has their own issues.. they believe the advice on what type of person you are supposed to be & how to treat others has made them a better person.
and they believe, quite frankly, even if the g.b are a bunch of narcissistic wannabe powerful guys, the worest thing they have done is to wake up people on saturday mornings.. i`ve been awake most of the night thinking about this, wondering if this person had a point.
then something came to my mind.

Did anyone see Jackson state "celebrating Christmas not a df'ing offence"?
by Crazyguy ini have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.
i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?
did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.

Am I understanding this generation overlapping "New Light"
by greenhornet inso i'm thinking...my daughter has a great grand mother that was born in 1900. she was 14 years old in the 1914 year.. well this grand lady died in 1990. my daughter was about 9 years old at that time.
so my daughter can live until 2065.. she will be about 84 in the year 2065. so this "new light" means that 2065 is the new 1914?.
can someone say im right?.

You guys have it all wrong, Jesus said this generation will not pass away until all these things accur. Then he lists these things. So the correct answer is this generation will never pass away. -

That old time religion............JW.Org

These guys also seem as though they don't care anymore. They say stupid crap don't hide their 20K watches and their pinky rings etc. They just have this arrogance about them. Take it or leave it is now their attitude and its seems as though they actually want people to leave. Maybe they have a hedge fund that is now self sustaining. -

That's it! The Jesus stories are most reasonably explained as myth. History makes this obvious.
by Island Man ina careful examination of the historical pagan religious context existing at the time of the genesis of christianity leads any reasonable person to conclude that jesus is just another one of several similar myths.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn7teoa9ark.

One easy way to know that the Jesus stories are myths introduced centuries after his supposed life is the story of his death. In this story he dies and not only does the sun stop shining but people are actually resurrected and run a round Jerusalem. No I repeat No writer or historian at the time writes about this monumental event, not one. This is a major event the first time in history of a mass resurrection and no mention of it anywhere. -

Meandering thoughts of a recent JW funeral experience
by undercover ini went to the kh a couple of weeks ago.
for a funeral.
i haven't been in a kh, except for funerals, for several years.

The last funeral I went to I did out of resect for the guy since he really was a good guy. I listen to them go on about him quite awhile and even had a video showing some pics of him etc. but the talk was half about him and half JW doctrine going all the way back to the basics of Adam and Eve and their sin etc. That was weird. After it was over I left right away, I wasn't going to be around a bunch of brain dead arrogant A holes any longer then I had to.
