Jehovah, Jesus, none of that enters into why I continue to go to the Kingdom Hall. ;I don't see Jesus or Jehovah and I don't feel them. ; ;It's because I want the people in the Hall to see me as a spiritual man, whether I am or not. ; I don't serve Jehovah, I serve the elders and the brothers and sisters at the Hall. ; They are the ones whose approval I covet. ; I know that much of what is being taught is just tripe, but I don't really care, and I bet some of them don't care either. ; It is like a game that we are used to playing. ; .................... gary you just answered your inner most honest feelings. i've been following this thread with intrest. and waiting to see, if you would wake up! after you resigned i would have just got up and said i need to attend my family bye. not let them play with my feeling for and hour and half. forget about having a meeting with the c.o. just stop doing any elder chores today. show them you mean it. i get the feeling from your last few posts you have out grown the k.h. and don't even want to go any longer. a good first step would be try to miss the next meeting or 2 and take your family to a disney movie or to dinner with ice cream sundae's . sure your kids will love that. maybe even give them thier first christmas. and let them grow up normal. you may even want to try a different church. christmas at many7 churchs is a very loving and upbuilding time. never know you just may find the hs. and peace. best wishes. make your self happy and your family... the clock is running john

Ridiculous "Revelation Climax" Book interpretations
by Black Man ini used to be so into prophecy and actually loved the climax book when it first came out.
now, i can't believe i bought into that bs.
anyhow, name a ridiculous climax book interpretation.

BAxk to the 21 and 22 chapter of the climax book. the idea that jesus is the fifth angel to fall from heaven . and jesus is also the abaddon the fallen angel of the abyss (satan) is a real joke. rev 9 any one thyat does a littke research on abaddon will clearly see ABADDON IS SATAN. JOHN

World War I did not start during the last days
by jwfacts injehovah's witnesses place great emphasis on world war i proving that the last days started in 1914. what few realise is that world war one started prior to the start of the last days.
the war started in aug whereas the wts claims the last days started on october 2 1914. this means that wwi started during the gentile times and as such can not be claimed to be an indication of the last days.. i asked my pioneer school conductor about this and he claimed that satan started wwi in august as a smokescreen to divert peoples attention from jesus rulership talking place shortly afterwards.
this is an unsubstantiated excuse.

JW FACTS; if your having a active study now with a jw pioneers etc. i would press 1874 1799 1878 1844. 1873 being the end of 6000 years etc. down their throat. i understand what they are trying to throw at you. thats all revisionist history. which is nothing more than the wt lying and your study conductor being IGNORANT OF THE FACTS. i would never let a jw get away from this. time to hold your ground. go to freeminds.org there are hundreds of pages of this stuff you can find under the false prothecy page. print it out and be the man in the truth and make your teacher look like a DOPE... GOOD LUCK JOHN

the wt was teaching till the 1930's that the time of the end started in 1799. and that jesus returned in 1874 fought with satan till 1878 then took over kingdom power. and 1914 was not the beginning of the end but the FINAL END. THEY STRECHED IT OUT WHEN WW1 STARTED TO SAY WW1 WAS ARMAGEDDON. TELL YOUR STUDY INSTRUCTOR TO GET THIER FACTS STRAIGHT.....JOHN
