I will be glad to send money if I can just send it to a Paypal account. It's more anonymous that other forms of payment and I would feel better doing it that way.
Thank you.

Star Moore wrote:In Rev. 7 it talks of 144,000 being from the 12 tribes of Isreal... I believe the Jews make up a large part of the 144,000. Yes, it is taught that 12,000 come from each of the 12 tribes which makes 144,000. The strange thing is that the number 12,000 is a figurative number. However, the sum of these 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes, i.e, 144,000, is a literal number. How can that be? I don't know.

by blondie inhis faithful servants--only jws, not "so-called" christians.
7 a second point that we can draw from peter's words is that jehovah is patient because he desires all to attain to repentance.
"consider the patience of our lord as salvation," wrote peter to fellow christians.

Thanks Blondie, I enjoyed your review very much. I just came in from field service and before I go to the meeting I always like to read your review. It helps save my sanity a little.

Why do JW's elders act like their failed predictions is no big deal?
by booker-t ini must admit after being an ex-jws for over 15 years now i still get fustrated at jw's elders when they act so non-chalant about the watchtower's prediction failures.
i was talking to a jw elder just the other day and he was trying to explain away that the society made errors in dates in the past but they are not "false prophets".
i was not even calling them false prophets he was the one that brought up the term.

Also Christmas is not the date of Jesus BD but he argues that the churches have not publically announced to their churches to stop celebrating a wrong date.
I don't know anyone who truly believes that December 25th is actually the day Jesus was born.
In fact, Charles Russell once wrote:
The December 1, 1904 Watchtower, page 364, states "Even though Christmas is not the real anniversary of our Lord's birth, but more properly the annunciation day or the date of his human begetting (Luke 1:28), nevertheless, since the celebration of our Lord's birth is not a matter of divine appointment or injunction, but merely a tribute of respect to him, it is not necessary for us to quibble particularly about the date. We may as well join with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event on the day which the majority celebrate - "Christmas day."
This elder was parroting what all elders are taught to say. We are supposed to dismiss all questions relating to past dates and predictions with phrases like "Oh, that was then... this is now and now is what we have to concern ourselves with." We are taught to deflect all accusations of constant change in policy just as the elder mentioned herein did. We are to praise change, turn it around and make it seem an acceptable and indeed wise thing to do.

Billyboy, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect your courage in questioning Blondie's efforts each week to analyze the Watchtower.
I am still one of Jehovah's Witnesses and indeed, am an elder in my congregation. However, since I am so close to the organization it is sometimes difficult for me to discern what they are really trying to tell us in their writings. That is why I come to this Board and to Blondie's weekly Watchtower "study". It helps me to see what the Governing Body is really trying to say, what they really want us to think and do. It is an invaluable aid to all ex-witnesses and witnesses too. Thank you Blondie, very much!
Billyboy, I suggest that you look for Blondie's breakdown of the Watchtower each week and not be so judgmental of her tremendous and selfless efforts.
If you yourself have gleaned something different than Blondie from the weekly Watchtower study, we would all be glad to read whatever it is you have to tell us. We can all learn from one another.
Welcome to the Board!
