  Strange

  by Jrjw in

  a couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.

  then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?

  seems a rather unusual thing to say.

  Perhaps they may advise to ditch their Apostate Spouses ? Quite Possible.

  2005 Big Announcement (Disappointment)

  by Fred Franztone in

  2. friends

  i remember around 2005, there was an announcement made from the platform that in a few weeks time we would have to remain at the end of the sunday meeting for a big announcement, directly from the society.. i remember all the murmuring, people thought maybe this was going to be related to armageddon.

  everyone was excited, people were speculating.

  only the po in each congregation had any idea what was going on, and they were frequently pestered for information, but sworn to secrecy, which only hyped things up even more.. then the meeting came, anticipation was in the air, the announcement started, you could hear a pin drop.

  I have come across such announcements quite a few times. Cant remember the 2005 incident

  Dubs would be pretty excited hoping its an Armageddon thing. My wife would be super Excited.

  After the announcement is made, as usual, the dubs would water down

  Oh, what a deluding cult.

  Even For me, the statistical Probability of aliens are more convincing than accepting a Belief in any God.

  “THE ‘GOVERNING BODY’ SHOW...!!” haha, I’ve used this expression twice now with Jdubs...

  hahaha, i’m so “brazen”, lol.

  but we’ve had the jws be pretty active in our territory recently, and i got to say this to them on two separate occasions, to three different borgites, lol!

  (it was a glorious moment for me, haha!).

  Governing Body Show.

  Yes, I will use this for Sure when coming across any JW.

  Also, whenever I bump upon any JW, I ask them if they are the "Watchtower Witnesses" subtly trying to implant the fact that they are serving the Watchtower.

  Fisherman Quoted:"If a man smiles all of the time, he is probably selling something that doesn't work." --George Carlin

  Wonderful. JWs are trained to always smile at people and view them as potential converts.

  Seems Kim is fully dressed up for a cold Saturday morning Field service.

  Atheists for Jehovah

  by slimboyfat in

  there are hundreds or thousands of websites on jehovah's witnesses with all sorts of slants, but i have never come across any specifically for atheist jehovah's witnesses.

  has anyone ever seen a site for atheist witnesses?

  i think it would be a great idea, and we could call it atheists for jehovah, as a counterpart to the atheists for jesus.

  seems we have been waiting a long time by some gods who said they would be back shortly

  Well said Finklestein.

  Why did Gods always appear in Middle East, at a time when electricity wasn't invented.

  Anyone for Jesus. Jesus doesn't deserve this, as he supposedly advised people to leave their family and love him more and come after him

  Anyone for Jehovah - Doesn't deserve either. Read the Bible.

  earlier this week a new post on this forum announced that the 2017 worldwide annual service report was available on jw.org.

  wow - that's earlier than the statistics for the 2016 service year which appeared in the 2017 yearbook last january!

  good effort, jw organization!

  Too much thinking is the cause of Unhappiness. Certain things get resolved with time. Hence take it one at a time. When going to sleep, leave everything for tomorrow, after you wake up.

  After all, waking up the next day is not guaranteed (for anyone) then why worry tonight.

  Why do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe everything will be Hunky Dory after Armageddon ? I have news for them.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries whereas nothing could be further from the truth... according to the bible.. without trying to speculate on these concerns or problems during this one thousand year reign of christ jesus ,lets hear what the bible has to say about the end of his thousand year reign.. rev.20:7-10 satan is to be let out of his prison {as if he hasn`t done enough damage in 6000 years of roaming about in the earth at the same time fraternizing with jesus and jehovah in heaven} i digress.. and the reason he is let out of prison ,lo and behold ,is to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth gog and magog to gather them together for the war.

  { here we go again ,armageddon didn`t solve anything we have to go through another one.

  } 1000 years later.. now get this it`s not just some isolated little skirmish with a few hundred or even a few thousand dissenters ,as the bible states they number the sands of the seashore and they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp {not a nation but a camp} of the holy ones.and the beloved city.. with that description it would seem the holy ones are in the minority and the opposes apparently were spread over all the earth.. so that description of the bible to me about jc 1000 rule does not appear to be one of living in a paradise , that is not on the agenda until after jesus christ 1000 year reign and only if you are lucky enough to survive another test/war of your loyalty after all you have gone through previously.. i wonder if this realization is one of the reasons why so many now are claiming to be of the anointed because as one of the other sheep you have to pass another test after the 1000 years of christ jesus rule whereas of one of the anointed on death now you go straight to heaven ..

  Rev 20: 7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison

  What is the Bond amount ? If not, has Satan completed his term in prison ? Just Curious
