the wts teaches, that from 1914 onward, a sign has been evident, which is proof of god's kingdom.
jw profess to see that sign.
a "sign" means evidence from god.

"The last days", "great tribulation", "final war", the "great day of god almighty", etc, are they not "overlapping" signs?

so a friend in a nearby hall told me their co came through, and in a hellish week of long meetings and inquisition overhauled the boe.
only one remains as elder, three were re-appointed as ms, and one, the cobe was deleted entirely.. two new elders were brought in as new secretary and cobe / watchtower conductor, respectively, and introduced to the congregation from the platform on sunday immediately following his second talk.
he reminded everybody of the authority he has and then named the new appointees.
Yes when I resigned 6 years ago (after being out mentally for years before that), the BOE asked me to just take a little "time off" from responsibility and rethink my decision. I said 'no thanks' so then they offered me a MS position and again I said 'no thanks'.
I truly believe that hundreds of elders would welcome being removed because they know that they are slinging bs in the congregation and it really stinks. Real life is-------well real and full of freedom!

incredibly, fred franz once announced at a district convention: "yesterday a sister approached me and said, brother franz, why do we have to keep our children up so late just so they can attend the meetings?
i responded sister ***, would you rather have a tired child or a dead child?".
*cue rapturous applause*.
Franz was a nut job as we have all discovered so everything he said is "old light" from a dying "generation" of blow hard, self righteous, sob's who ran the borg for decades.
We had a DO back in the 80's in the Fremont, CA area named Yasko. He was a short, beefy, boneheaded sob. Very pious sucker. So in one of his talks at our circuit assemblies, he talks about disciplining children of which he had exactly NONE. But he made it very clear to the audience, "just because I've never laid an egg, that doesn't mean I don't know what to do with it". Yes he really said that! What a smug mf'er.

It's always thank Jah when things are going good. When things go bad it's poor old Satan's fault.

honestly, they really have nothing going for them except that they are in an exclusive club.
they are in a better place than anyone else.
they have it over everyone else because of their superiority.
It sure made me feel special and elite. Until I realized how utterly stupid it is to think that your religion along has all the truth. TTATT make us feel better because we realize who we really are.

the elders did not stay long and it wasn`t an official visit sanctioned by the boe/cobe because they were not from my (ex)congregation.
we talked a little about my situation and the fact that my wife does not talk to me and how non-scriptural her behavior is.. then they mentioned the rc and how it was the best convention for the last 20 years.
one thing they did mention was the fact that the borg was clearly preparing them for persecution.
If anyone creates enough crap (like rutherford did) sure you're going to get negative attention. Persecution is a word used loosely to to hide the fact you are annoying and obnoxious.
I can't believe that '2 elders' have not visited me yet. I went from elder to inactive in about 2 years. Me thinks that they may shy away because I was never one to follow the crowd in the boe meetings. I almost always had a contrary thought or 2 to get the elders to think about what the bible said and not what the fds said. When child baptism came up I always mentioned that the bible said NOTHING about children or even youths being baptized. Acts talked about both "men and women" being baptized after they had gone over exactly NO QUESTIONS in order to QUALIFY for baptism.

i firmly believe 100% of jw's are suffering from the first stage of rts and a high percentage of people who are now out are also suffering.

blondies comments you will not hear at the 07-05-2015 wt study (satan)(may 15, 2015 issue).
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/.
the 4th of july in the us is mainly a misnomer.
Great summary again Blondie. I enjoyed everyone's comments as well. The depth of the writing committee is very shallow as we can see.
Yea Sarah could have been a problem, unfit? (lol) if she had had an adulterous relationship and screwed up the lineage of Jesus, but David and Bathsheba not??? Solomon and his many sluts not??? Really stupid reasoning to say the least! (I mentioned this point to my uber duber wife and she just shrugged that it was jehober's decision.)
Cowardly Abe pons off his wife twice as his sister and then gets her 2 suitors to pay him handsomely because jehober threatens them in a dream. Nice scam Abe!
The guy looking at the laptop in paragraph 10 looks like James Gandolfini viewing an episode of The Sopranos or maybe a CO viewing the latest crap he is suppose to deliver in his service talks.
