  Wow long topic title. Maybe the fix for posts being cut off got applied to the topic titles as well. ;-)

  C'mon people channel a bit of FF.

  Since his enthronement in 1914 and the 3.5 years it took for the examination to determine who could be called the FDS.

  We can take the prophetic time, and time-and-a-half, apply it to the preaching work done by Noah to come up with a parallel even realized by the inspection.

  1914 + (2.5 x 40) ==> 2014

  Isn't it wonderful brothers that we can prove the pagan Mayan long count cycle that ends in 2012 is wrong, therefore it must be Satan's influence we see in the Mayan calendar.

  Since the generation that overlapped with the eagle-eyed anointed that saw the enthronement that also overlapped the end of the gentile times.

  A generation could be considered 40 years. By putting this value in the parallel equation we get the same result, 2014! There you have two lines of evidence that support the same conclusion. I would seem that things are being revealed at the proper time to encourage the preaching work.

  Remember they are inspired but not directed by the active force.

  Not bitter here, eyes opened, hurt but healing, making the best of what I have left.

  Why should I let them (the WT$) live rent free in my mind, they have no power over me except for the power that I give them.

  If the Watchtower truly collapsed, how would you deal with your JW relatives?

  imagine the best case scenario.

  the watchtower society implodes from within even making final printed admissions that it is voluntarily dismantling it's mission and legally dissolving the corporations.

  oh happy day!

  I would let them know I was there for them as they worked their way through the broken dreams and realization that they were not going

  to see the people resurrected in paradise as they had planned.

  32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

  The scripture actually points out the flaw in the reasoning directly. The generation that SEE the signs and (WT$ addition) comprehend them, will not pass away.

  For example my grandfather lived through (saw) the great depression; however as many times he told me about it, I read about it, I did not SEE (live through) the great depression. Put simply I am not of his generation that saw the great depression even though our lifetimes have overlapped.

  I doubt if this will cause any cognitive dissonance in the rank and file.

  I like what the TTO suggests. However, when they ask why the answer could be along the lines that she has seen some things happen and it would be gossiping about the organization as there is not a second person present to back up what she saw. That would give them very little room to maneuver against her attitude.

  Snow-shoe hare can leave a 5 inch track with toes that are hard to distinguish but I don't think they are in Kansas anymore. It sounds more like a hawk, crow, eagle, or maybe even a goose.

  How does the WTS explain how the battle of Armageddon will be fought?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  armageddon is a battle in which satan unites the kings of the earth against god's appointed king, christ.. the witnesses teach that the bible uses megiddo as the "symbolic" place of gathering of all the kings of the earth, where they will try to do battle against god and his forces.. it sounds so silly to me now that god and his forces would battle satan?

  if god is so powerful,wouldn't he make satan and his demons just disappear?

  does god need a sword,rocket,fist,or army tanks to destroy satan?.

  The official gruel dished out in the watchtower would usually sound something like this:

  We don't know exactly what will occur during the battle of Armageddon but it is written that conditions will come to point where no man will survive without gods intervention. It could be a (insert a long list of favorite scare scenarios following that usually includes disease, war, nuclear weapon use, collapse of society, famine, etc.) This makes it very important to be among the true Christians in approved association with gods earthly organization to survive. This is usually followed by a laundry list of how bad it has been for true Christians in the past. However, we do not know and must exercise Christ-like patience and wait on what is revealed by Jehoober to the FDS on the current scent of the month. (Remember they are only guided not inspired and are imperfect humans just in case this doesn't happen like they said.)
