Time Machine

caveat 1: those who believe jesus is truly the son of god may wish to avoid this post.

although my thoughts are only proposed for mild amusement and interest and in no way intended to offend, for some, the concept behind the idea may be an affront to preciously held beliefs.

if that’s likely to be the case, kindly just don’t read.

I would take back todays Bible, Koran , Mel Brooks movie about the Bible, tools and

instruments to find old fossils... And last I would build a boat to see how animals we could house

for a year, it would be open to the public.

new boy: what would have happen if we (USA) and other countries didn't get involved in ww1 and ww2?

If we had stood on the side line. We got involved in Viet Nam and the Korea conflict, maybe

it was a mistake but at the time we thought we were in the right.

And who in the hell is proud to kill, please..

What do you do with tyrants today, wait on God? I would have been very proud to kill Hitler and

his clan.

What's your option, we have Religion and governments what do you suggest for your world????

OK, "18 and 19 year kids as soldiers are stupid and will do just about anything they are told".We all agree

Viet Nam was a controversial war, many didn't have any idea where Viet Nam was and why we were there,

but we went. I had friends that went to Canada , father a child, became Muslims and a few friends

received deferment because they maintained a certain number of credits in college.

Two months ago I had my 50 year class reunion and My friend that fled to Canada, told me it was the

worst mistake he ever made.

Every vet I have met that served in Nam, even though many of those suffer from PTSD, problems

from the Agent Orange not one regret their service.

We must remember women were never drafted but they served and their were many in Nam.

WE weren't stupid, we served our country and I'm proud of it.

My impression from talking to men who were JW's in the Viet Nam era, wished

they had served. It was like sitting by the camp fire and relating my experience in

Nam , they would ask how was it did you shoot anyone, were you shot at and etc.

One brother flat out lied, it wasn't until I told him I served and ask where was he station.

He finally admitted he never served, it was a joke.

dear friends:.

i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.

are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?

James Mixon

The worst is not remembering your grand kids name. Josh, bring grandpa the Tv control.

Grandpa I'm Terry not Josh. I have 8 Grand kids, and when they are all around at the same time

it can be confusing.

The slow trickle has become a steady stream!

in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.

many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

James Mixon

I'm confused, in the 60's and 70's the great crowd. We filled the KH, we couldn't build

enough KH, a sign of the end. Now the numbers are dropping and this is a sign of the end.

I thought the separation work (weeds) were people coming out of false religion, not those in

Jehovahs organization. I did a little drugs when I was young(before JW world), and nothing

compare to the mind trip that this organization send you on.

The Bread Illustration (Feb 16 Broadcast) - Massive Contradiction

by fizzle in

jw
friends

so... bro flodin puts poison onto the first loaf of bread and says that this pictures someone "sinning against the holy spirit".

he then puts the bread into the trash can stating that jehovah completely discards anyone "sinning against the holy spirit"... meaning they cannot ever be forgiven...he says that the pharisees "sinned against the holy spirit" because they denied indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit displayed by jesus... therefore jehovah would completely discard them... no way back for them.. fast forward a little... we have the bible character stephen...acts 6:8 says: now stephen, full of divine favor and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.so stephen was showing indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit.now we come to the bible character paul (saul)... he was a pharisee.paul would have seen stephen in action... witnessing the indisputable evidence of the operation of jehovah's holy spirit first hand!yet paul not only waged war against all christians but he personally approved the killing (stoning) of stephen.according to the bread illustration paul should have been discarded by jehovah at this point for "sinning against the holy spirit"... he would have been put in the trash can... no way back at all...but what happened according to the bible?

jesus appeared to him on the road to damascus... he became one of the most zealous apostles in bible history with jehovah's full support!so what on earth is the bread illustration all about?

So who today blaspheme the Holy spirit.

We have the Jews who do not accept Jesus as the Messiah.

Hindus say the teenage Jesus traveled across southeast Asia, learning yogic traditions

and returning home to be a guru to the Jews.

Muslims: Jesus was not crucified but instead, he was raised up by God into the heavens.

In other words it seems every one besides JW's are speaking "against the Holy spirit".

How many Holy spirits are out there, and which one do you listen too?
