The gb are going to get together and let jehober know when and how, soooooooooooon!
just saying!
and how long will it last?
and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?
the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

this idea was inspired by another post i saw (but forget who or where) referencing the mootness of delaying armageddon now that the 1914 generation is gone.
(i just skimmed over the post and thread, and didn't give it much thought until later).
wt doctrine basically says that jehovah, through his undeserved love, allows wickedness so that people can hear, and accept, the 'truth', thus being saved from the destruction of armageddon.
The message should now be among jw's; "Billions now living will shortly die!"

i was really puzzled when i opened this edition of the wt magazine at the above “study”.
what on earth has this picture at the top of page 13 got to do with christian watchfulness?
i wasn’t making a connection at all.
I was "keeping on watching my watch" praying that the end of the wt study would come soooooon!

went to the hall today as i was the designated driver for my parents.
an elder who was in our old congregation in the city gave the talk.
i've had a little chat with him and apparently our old congo is gone.
This trend is all part of "new light"!
The borg used to teach, "build and they will come"!
The adjusted view by the borg is, "sell. for they have gone"!

Sad but so true. Only jehober's witlesses can know which bible verses are literal and which are symbolic or figurative 'cause the goobering body (god's direct link to mankind) tells them.

if so wouldn't it be funny to write a letter to your councilman, mayor,congressman, senator and.
other government officials why jw's don't vote.
most will say because i'am told.
When a jw receives a 'welfare' check or an unemployed elder or pioneer receives their unemployment check, do they praise jah for for those 'tools of Satan'?

when all the money from from the new york and london bethels has been used up,how many kingdom halls do people think will have to be sold off per year ?.
Not too sure about selling existing kh's but one thing for sure is they are not building any new ones. I live in California and up until about 4-5 years ago, there was kh projects going on every weekend and all over the state. In the last 4-5 years, nada!
wtbts used to think like the book Field of Dreams---"build and they will come." Not so much now.

at the moment i dont beleive in anything.
im pretty much an open book, but my critical mind is very alert to bullshit.
but anyway i decided to re-read the bible with a non jw filter.. i researched online first which is supposed to be the best translation out there.
The bible is like any other mythology writing. Some fact, some fancy, but mostly just plain old bullsh*t!
As I often tell my lovely wife (still in); all ancient civilizations had their mythological writings including the Jews!

gorby has had a personal paradigm shift lately.. from one point to an other i "feel" and "think" different about the jw subject.. - no more interest in doctrine.
- no more interest in things that happen 100 years ago into an religion.. - no more taking statements too serious.
it doesn't matter me at all what a generation doctrine change is all about, it doesn't matter me at all that brother elder said "blablabla boe!".
I know what you mean, I think, maybe, possibly.
I still like to read the posts on this site because they are mostly interesting, but all the false and ever changing doctrine of jw's, all the failed 'end of the world' predictions, all the hub bub about pedophiles, and all the bullshit about dumb ass elders, well those were just the vehicle to get me to where I'm at today. I'm content and happy not being under the oppressive influence of the wtbts. Still can't believe that I gave up nearly 55 years of my life. But it's all behind me now and life is good and so are 99% of the people that I meet.

about 5 years ago when i was in, my son who at the time was 18 needed somewhere to sleep for a couple of nights due to work commitments ,in a city 2 hours from home.
my "best man" who is an elder that lives in this city , was asked could my son stay a couple of nights .
the response was he doesn't go to meetings anymore ,he can't stay here , i ask can he sleep on garage floor instead , still can't stay .
Good example of the scriptural admonition to "have 'conditional love' among yourselves". Some guy with a beard said those words long time ago, so I'm told!
