  He said the, “Governing Body is convinced” that we are close to Jehovah’s Day. Very evident that Jahs day is near. We eagerly anticipate the judgment period. Joel 2:1-16. He asked - are you ready for Jehovah’s day?

  Somehow that just doesn't strike me as being similar to what the earliest Christians were looking forward to:

  "Wait eagerly for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 1:7)

  "Wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus." (1 Thess. 1:10)

  "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." (Rev. 22:20)

  Question for ex-JWs who are Christians

  by whyizit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed that many who post here have kind of thrown the "baby out with the bathwater", when it comes to the bible and god.. i understand that there is a fine line between love and hate.

  maybe they blame god for the deception.

  maybe they don't trust anything to do with god any more.

  I left JWs because I believed in the compassionate God of Christianity and because I was convinced that his love, mercy and kindness were missing from the policies and purpose of the Watchtower Society. I did not throw out a lovely and cuddly baby. I rid from my life a spoiled brat that was more and more turning into a hideous monster.

  Dubs out with kn37

  by fullofdoubtnow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just took the dog a walk, and saw 4 dubs at the top of our street, trying to place kn37.

  this is, of course, the first official day of thecampaign, so i expext to see a few more of them than usual over the next few days, but it's not often i see them at this time of day (3:10pm when i spotted them).

  they all know me, and when they saw me walking towards them with the dog, who does admittedly look a bit fearsome, being a pit bull/staffordshire bull terrier cross, they looked a little nervous, as if they thought i was going to set him on to them.

  When will they realise that they are the unpaid salesmen of a manmade org and not working for God when they follow the dictates of the WTS? If the WTS fails to reward them no one else will.

  Hmmm..So they claimed to be a prophet..yet this SCAN says they DON'T??

  by Lady Liberty in

  2. bible

  ok.. so..as i posted on a recent thread scans of many places the society claims to be a "prophet", see here:http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/122290/2160659/post.ashx#2160659.

  notice this claim.. and note too that it was only 7 years before 1975:http://www.jwfiles.com/scans/aw10-8-68p23.htm.

  and now look at what they wrote after the big 1975 let down:.

  "Won't you all look stupid when Armageddon comes!"

  by jgnat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've often pondered the impossibility of arguing with an armageddon-believer.

  it's like, the only way you can prove they are wrong is out-wait them.

  and if they refuse to set a date, well, you'd be staring the poor prophet down when you are wobbly, grey, and snaggle-toothed.

  For what it's worth, one day Milton Henschel told the Brooklyn Bethel "family" what he thought was the most beautiful place on earth. He had been traveling with Knorr and by himself all over the world for several years. He had traveled (at Society expense, of course) to more countries than any other member of the GB. Was it Switzerland? Was it New Zealand? Was it Norway? His answer: 'Those places have indescribable beauty, but the place that beats them all is Western Canada, especially around Banff.'

  Mireille Matthieu is another favourite of mine. In my opinion, she has the same voice as Edith Piaf, is the same size, and has the same fervour. She's not as famous as Edith for some reason, but she has received more gold and platinum discs outside of France than any other French singer. Both singers melt me away and often leave me weeping due to the beauty of their singing.
