Goodwill stores: A gathering place for Jehovahs Witnesses.
by Joliette ini recently started working at a goodwill here in wisconsin, and i've never encountered more witnesses ever in my life.
every time i go to work, i see at least two or three people that i used to go to the kingdom hall with getting suits, dresses, etc.
some of them say hi, but some of them i just ignore, or they ignore me.

Peshitta, Aramaic New Testament
by Connie inhas anyone come across this line of research on the new testament?
i stumbled upon it today researching the divine name, and textual criticism of the nt.
it seems that the peshitta is an aramaic translation that has been handed down through the centuries without the controversies of the greek translation.

Science has proven that if you put a magnite on the front of your head feelings and beliefs about God go away. Spirituality, God, is a man made concept. -

When did the Great Crowd start forming?
by Vanderhoven7 ini realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.
what would be the earliest date?
any ideas or quotes from wt literature?

myelaine , I was in error, I was thinking about Rev 5:9-10 where it describes the great crowd as the ones that would reign on earth not the 144k because their described again at Rev 7:9, these scriptures are a throw back to the old testament at Exodus chapter 19 where Israel becomes a holy nation. The 144k maybe not included in this or anyway maybe a different group or subgroup with in the great crowd. Some say they represent the singers that went before the army. Anyway I was thinking on a different line of thought on my previous posts. -

Talking with a young elder
by biblexaminer ini had a discussion with an elder recently.
it was interesting in a macabre sense.
we were outside the kingdom hall on a nice sunny day recently.

Yes there are contradictions between what Paul supposedly wrote and what Jesus supposedly said. This is not the point the original poster was trying to make to this elder. Bottom line is this Paul would have been dfd by the GB today. -

This takes the cake
by Sour Grapes intoday during the public talk the speaker said that satan was behind the new modern phones, which are like mini computers, so that the world would have easy access to pornography..

Smart phones are from Satan but tablets are from Jehovah. -

The most proof that the WT was directed by Holy Spirit was when they dropped a teaching/prediction immediately before it actually came true!
by EndofMysteries ini don't have the exact articles offhand but russell taught the jews would be grouped back and have israel again.
after he died and rutherfords failed predictions, he decided to cut that belief saying it was all symbolic.
they dropped that belief then it ends up happening.

Good point, it's funny how they thought this guy was so great yet most don't know he said in one of his books holy spirit no longer works he got his information directly from angel's. -

Confronting Parents About 607 vs 587
by breezy injust thought i would update you guys since my 1st post last week.i haven't been to the meeting for about 2 weeks now, and maybe have like 1 or 2 hours of service combined within the past 2-3 months.
i obviously get the love bombing from relatives when they don't see you at the hall for a while.
" we missed you at the meeting last week.

Yes thier own documents prove that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 not 607. Next you should ask why a perfect man would use the term 'this generation ' since it's obvious according to the Wt that he was meaning 'these generations ' -

Where has all the money gone?
by gingerbread ina number of years ago when i was still active, our service group was having a coffee break with the visiting circuit overseer.
during the conversation he mentioned that the "society" was now being run like a business.
being raised in the "truth" i thought that rather odd (and my eyes began to be opened!

Its almost as if there are two groups in charge. One does the spiritual stuff and the other does the investments and the money side. The spiritual side was saying and doing things with out consulting with the other side. Also they may have money but their obviously not bringing in as much as they hoped or before the crash of 2008. People don't have it too give. I also believe that they know the writing is on the wall, people are leaving no ones joining. This is why there's all these changes to trynto keep those in and their children to stay in. Their planning for a future where they make less and less off the rank and file. -

Yep you nailed and when I figured this out for myself a couple of years ago I got really mad.. The fact is based on the teachings of the borg their all just Jonadabs unable to gain salvation so they must hang on to the coat tails of the seven real Christians to get into the kingdom of god. This is exactly what the Catholics teach about them and the Pope. The borg is a mini Catholic religion copy.
