most of the gb members are in their 80s and 90s.
with the passing of milton henschel (82), one wonders if they'll all live to be nearly 100, like freddy franz.. so let's take a theoretical look into the future, 11 years from now.. the year is 2014. the last gb member dies.
the faithful and discreet slave class are no longer in existence.
The next ten years are the "make it or break it years" for the watchtower.
While I admire your optimism and would love to see the WTS "break" in the next 10 years, your prediction sounds too JW-esque. "This old system of things only has 10 years left, at the most!"
I will be very surprised to see the end of the WTS in the near future, but I would simply love for it to happen so that my family members can be freed.
do any of you ex-jehovah witnesses still believe that jesus died on a stake, or a cross?
Well, I don't even believe in Jesus or the Bible, but...
The Bible does say he had nails in his hands. If he died on a stake with his hands over his head, as depicted in the WTS publications, wouldn't only one nail have been used?

Rbi8 John 20:25 ***But does this really matter to Christians? Isn't the important thing that he died for our sins? JWs make too big a deal out of the cross/stake thing, IMO.
from frank's compendium of little-known and useless information:.
there are no empty tabasco sauce bottles...anywhere in the world.
got your own little known facts?
What I've always imagined the universe to be, and maybe this is what you're saying, that it's a bit like walking on a ball, or a balloon, the surface is infinite in that it never stops but the area is finite.
Hmm... that's not really what I meant, because any 3D object could be considered "infinite" by that definition. I guess what I'm thinking is that, while the universe is expanding, it is essentially infinite because you could never reach any sort of boundary.
Now as for time, are you referring to space/time?
Time is finite because it had a beginning. The universe is not of infinite age.
ok, so it's not from the wts but it's funny.. http://www.planetx2003.com.
supposedly planet x is due to pass by earth very soon with catastrophic results.
this happens every 3,000 years or so.
Ok, so it's not from the WTS but it's funny.
Supposedly Planet X is due to pass by Earth very soon with catastrophic results. This happens every 3,000 years or so. It was the cause of the flood in Noah's day.
Searching Google I see that there was a web site at www.zetatalk.com that predicted this would happen in May/June 2003. Now the site seems to be inaccessible. Perhaps because their doomsday prophecy failed? lol
In any case, the reason we haven't heard about it is because they don't want to start a panic. After all, 2/3 of the population will be killed. Apparently the governments and the Vatican are well aware of Planet X.

If you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn the lights on, does anything happen?
According to special relativity you cannot travel at the speed of light. But if you were driving at 99.9999% the speed of light and turned on your headlights, the light would appear to travel away from the car at the speed of light (like normal) but it would still only be traveling at the speed of light (not twice the speed of light).
Light is a weird thing. Its speed is constant from all frames of reference.
By definition the universe cannot be infinite. So, what's outside or at the end?What if the universe is infinite in space but finite in time?
i always go to bed naked, even in the winter.
i eat at odd hours, whenever i'm hungry, and that happens fast.
breakfast at 6:30am, dinner at 10:15 am (i'm hungry) supper at 3:30 pm (still hungry).
Each car I follow, I look at the plates and make a word with the 3 letters on the plate. AHL 485 would make ass hole.
No, it would make you a hairbrained lunatic.

I eat food off of the floor.
Remind me never to go to your house for dinner.

I'm obsessive/compulsive, so I have enough of these to write a book.My most pervasive habits are counting and touching. I count things and organize them in sets of magic numbers and I touch things or draw lines on them with my finger to tell myself that whatever the object is is "set." I don't expect that to make any sense, but those are two of my weird habits.
Oh, those things make perfect sense to someone else with OCD. My wife does weird things like that too.
i don't think we're anything alike from what i've read of your posts.
i'm interested to know what you think...... an old saying comes to mind though:.
"you laugh at me coz i'm different, but i laugh coz you're all the same" .
Yes, they're the opinions that disagree with the JW's.
Well said.

Don't be so insulting Expat, disagreeing with the Lord's representatives is very bad for your health. Look at what happened to your face last time you disagreed.
ROFL!
