Really, when Jesus said to "keep doing this", he didn't say when to do it. The WTBTS makes such a big deal out of the DATE like it really matters.

this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.
so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.
sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

have a happy day friends, and don't get fooled.
.
Hasn't the WTBTS been the doing the "April Fool's" thing now for about 100 years? Being a gung ho JW is like April Fool's day everyday or is it just me?

sometime soon, we are to be "announced" as "no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".
well, that's what you get for testifying against "glorious ones.".
question is: will this kind of announcement be made the week of the co visit?.
That would be SPECIAL!

i was looking through a watchtower publication that i bought recently, and found this quote about children & armageddon:.
our theme "rearing children in divine favor" does not refer to the rearing of the children of armageddon survivors in that new world when all surrounding conditions and all forces in operation will be toward helping those who live to do righteousness.
no; but it refers to rearing children who are born now before the battle of armageddon.
As I ponder the book of Revelation now, I think that the writer was on some halucinogenic. Maybe it's just the wild beast in me.

but their views on blood are just plain weird!
meat has blood in it even if it's bled.
still eating meat means consuming blood.
All most all of the beliefs that went contrary to common sense and/or common customs. Pretty much all of them!

we received an email and are wondering if anyone can verify this little tidbit of news.
does anyone know if this is true or not?.
maybe any elder's on here?.
WTBTS/GB thinking on this is: Why risk supporting those who are willing to do our bidding for free? The soldiers will protect the generals, the generals don't protect the soldiers.

i have been dropping comments to a few re some classic old beliefs and teachings etc... and when asked "where did you read that, or how come you are saying such and such?
" i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....
now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.
Make sure you check with the elders as to which information in the "old publications" is okay to read. Otherwise you may have your eyes opened!

today nothing feels right.
i feel like a bystander to all things.
as if im nowhere and have no forward progression.
Jon,
The witnesses are not your enemies. The WTBTS is the enemy. I still feel a bit lonely now that I have faded and only attend meeting once in a while. I was very depressed when I first woke up to ttatt. I had a very difficult war going on inside my head since I had been a jw all my 60+ years. I had beena pioneer, elder, PO, etc. But the constantly changing dogma and especially the df'ing policy finally got to me. I've been faded for about 2 years now but it took a toll on me. I'm fine now and content in the knowledge that I'm not being controlled by a bunch of self deluded, egomaniacs. Hang in there and it will be worth the journey.

Poor Cameron will one day wake up and say "O sh**t, I could have been really helping those people instead of trying to "direct them to the organization"(tm).
