  I have often seen JW`s supposed beleif of 1925 as the end .....It`s not what I remember

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i could be wrong of course , but as far as i recall 1925 was not the date of armageddon , but was the date the" princes of the earth" would be resurrected .

  the princes of course were faithfull men of old such as abraham issac and jacob, anybody who had a prominent part in gods favour.. witnesses at assemblies after 1925 were constantly awaiting to welcome the resurrected princes of the earth up until the late 1950`s.

  these faithfull resurrected men were to lead the rank and file into the glorious new system of christs thousand year reign.. smiddy.

  The only thing that booze Rutherford ever said that I believe is "Religion is a SNARE and a RACKET"!

  Avoid or call them back?

  by Angus Beef in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  daughter missed a call from an elder tonight...we've missed meetings for about a month now.

  she is dating a worldly guy and i'm sure someone has seen them together.

  makes us nervous and with us being fairly new to the fading facet... should she call or avoid.

  DesirousOfChange

  When I was and elder a few years back, and was starting to fade, I raised the question to fellow elders" Why is smoking a df'ing matter? Nothing in Bible actually prohibits smoking! Yet when a baptized jw marries an unbeliever it's not a df'ing matter even thaough the Bible is very specific about that?

  Just saying!

  If they are "God fearing" (aka scared shitless of the Ocopope) they shouldn't have anything to do with you unless it's "nesessary" family business. Really, how necessary is it that you be their dad? O that's right, dads are pretty necessary! LOL---So just tell the ex that you have joined the local Pentacostal Church and you, as their "spiritual head", are taking them to the Pentacostal meetings every other Sunday. Let her put that in her peace pipe and smoke it. OMG! She will crap if she thinks that will happen but she may ease up on her stance also.

  many times at the kh i heard the various brothers boasting how the kh had good numbers in attendance and the churches of christendom did not.. i 've just worked out why this is; you cannot leave.

  you either fade, get df'd or da yourself.

  talk about hobson's choice.. talk about me seeing the light!!!.

  Meeting attendance is just a habit for most long time JW's. It was for me, but even deeply ingrained, bad habits can be broken. Was a jw for 60 years so been to about 16,000 meetings not counting all the endlessly tiring 'elder' meetings. Add them all up and here I am--an apostate. Some of us just take longer to see ttatt.

  PUBIC TALKS

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  nope - it ain't a typo!!

  because, what are advertised as "public" talks, hit below the belt!

  they are simply more org-fed propaganda for the congregation, and if there happens to be some poor unsuspecting sucker in the audience - so be it!.

  "Let's read this Scripture which we are ALL very familiar with".

  The reason jw's "are all very familiar with" it is because there are really only about 75-80 Scriptures that are used regularly by the wtbts's literature. Yep about 80% of the time those 75-80 scriptures are used to 'prove' jw dogma. Most jw's know only those 75-80 verses even though there are 31,137 (+ or -) verses in the Bible.

  You know that old saying, "Repetition is the mother of indoctrination" or something like that.

  How do Jehovah's Witnesses get from 1914 to 1919?

  by God_Delusion in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi guys and gals,.

  i have written an article that explains how the watchtower society gets from 607 bce to 1914 (http://www.jehovahswitnessblog.com/faqs/why-is-1914-important/) but i need some input so that i can write an article on how they get from 1914 to (via 1918) 1919.. are we talking about ezra, 1:2-4 when the persian king cyrus allows the israelites to go and rebuild the temple 3 and a half years after exiling them?

  if so, how has the watchtower used this passage to get to 1919??.

  The "generation" that was alive in 1943 (15 years of age---lol) did not live to see (or are too old to care) the BS in the 2014 WT. I'm sure the GB was counting on that fact! New "generation" of GB members, nu-lite to alter, change, manipulate, confuse, misrepresent old lite.

  i don't know how many others have gotten this question that i got recently.

  i wonder if it was the co that thought this would be a great question to try to reactivate someone like me:.

  at the time, i was kinda blindsided by the question and gave just an okay response.

  Ask in return; "Are you ready if Armageddon doesn't come in the next 5, 10, 15, years or even the next century?" It's been a comin' for a century now. Soooooon!

  Witnesses: Why The 1/19/14 WT Lesson Is Dangerous

  by Apognophos in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  today's watchtower lesson touched on the history of hezekiah's reign, and then made a surprising modern-day application.

  having used my time before the meeting to research the underlying material instead of highlighting my magazine, i personally found this to be an upsetting study, and decided to put this warning here in the hopes that some active witnesses read it.. the most important thing i want to say to you is that the actual flow of events in this bible account were severely misrepresented, and that there are some disturbing implications in the distortions that were made.

  1. hezekiah's father ahaz makes himself a vassal to assyria out of fear of their overwhelming might (2 kings 16:7, 8).. 2. upon becoming king, hezekiah rebels against assyria (2 kings 18:7).

  Nice job of presenting a realistic account (timeline) of what really happened and why.
