Please get our destruction in the proper order!

i was wondering if any one on the forum have discussed the end of the gentile times with the elders or jw relatives to see thier response.. in particular the sequence of events in luke....it begins with the sign of jesus presence..... 1) critical times hard to deal with...signs of last days, wars..etc..... 2) then the great tribulation.... 3) then during the great tribulation the end of the gentile times which cuts the destruction short so that some are saved.. how do they respond when its pointed out the wt teaches this sequence which is contrary to the bible.

1) the gentiles times ended.

2) critical times hard to deal with..last days..etc.

Why aren't you a believer?
by therealtruthsayer in
1. jw
2. experiences
there were times in my life when i wondered to myself "am i making a mistake by leaving "jehovah"?

" at this point i know i have no doubts because why would a loving god kill everyone on earth who isn't a witness and i don't think that the true religion of god would be delivered to a white man in america.

that's why i'm no longer a believer.

for as long as i've been here, i have continually been trying to learn, 'what is the thing that jws have in common?

', 'what is it that connects them?

', 'why do people become a jw?'.

i was talking with my brother the other day and he asked me " what were you suposed to do when you got a nose bleed?

if the blood runs down the back of your throat.

" he said that technically that would be eating the blood in the eyes of the jw's.

a bit of background first.

i was raised a jw and baptized at 15 although to say i was dedicated was stupid, anyway began to fade with my wife after we were married and finally broke away about 10 years ago although we were not da,d or df,d.

three years ago i decided to do what i had always wanted to and joined the airforce which i am immensly proud of and enjoy greatly ,somrthing i could never say about being a jw.

this is my first time posting here or on any ex-jw forum but i want to know if anybody else is not sure what to believe anymore.

paradise on earth sounds great and it was drilled into me for 11 years, it's just kinda hard to shake.

what about armageddon?

Road Rage Kills JW; Should Mom Commit Suicide?
by Funchback in

quite an interesting (and sad) story.

in my opinion, the victim's mom echoes the thoughts of many a jw, that being this: that jws are the only ones who know how to cope with tragedy.

what she says, in effect, is: "unless one is a jw, they would kill themselves over this.
