Caleb & Sophia - The Watchtower gets weirder

by Listener in

the latest video release 4/4/22 (lesson 44 'don't give up') in the comic series of caleb & sophia just got weirder.

the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.

it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.

You thought that getting someone you know from school at the door was bad? Try getting one of your teachers at the door.

How far do we get away from 1914

by PimoElder in

how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.

they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .

with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.

My Name is of No Consequence

This whole religion is based on 1914. I think the bigger question is how many people would wake up if 1914 was ditched?

Did You Miss Playing Sports?

by Sea Breeze in

how many of you missed playing sports in school?

the wt was merely trying to keep us from committing suicide.... how loving.take a look at this fear mongering :problems with sports today - g91 8/22 p. 5. .

"people used to argue that sports were of value because they built character.... such arguments sound hollow, even hypocritical.. .

I was a 6'2" freshman in high school. I topped out at 6'4" as a senior. I really wanted to play football. But, of course, I couldn't. You can't teach size and I had that. I'm not saying that I would have gotten a full ride scholarship to a Division 1 school, but just based on my size alone, I may have gotten a look from a Division 3 school at least. Football was/is huge where I'm from with many colleges always scouting. Who knows?

Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

by pistolpete in

this magazine says it all!.

and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

My Name is of No Consequence

I believed it and my JW (former) spouse probably still believes it.
