Putting Things into Perspective

some time has passed since my disfellowshipping, and even more time since i've been to a meeting.

with the stress of finally moving out, university, and work issues, i haven't had much time to reflect on my past life as one of jehovah's witnesses and what it really meant.

as i left my hometown on the bus yesterday evening, i finally had some "chill" time.

I would still be careful and avoid the organization if I were you.

Thowing a monkey wrench in jw doctrine

1) the signs of the times are qualified:.

luke 21:.

then he said to them: nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

1) the signs of the times are qualified:

LUKE 21:

Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

So it's not just earthquakes, famine, pestilence it is great famine, earthquakes and pestilence COMBINED with fearful events and great signs from heaven.

2) Second point is that he says the persecution would happen before these events(earthquake, signs from heaven etc..):

12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me.

Jw's combine these to be happening at the same time such as the persecution in Bulgaria, WW2, etc.. but the bible says AFTER the persecution these things will happen. That's about it.

Cost of new Kingdom Halls?
by Blttex in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i have been told that the cost to build a new kingdom hall is $500k +.

i have a background in commercial construction and this seems pretty high to me, considering all the free labor.

that is just the cost of the building, excluding the lot price.

2,000,000$ for add on hall and surrounding wall.

Jw's following the mormons apparently.

On the menu:

BREAKFAST

The 1914 slam

Brain halves scrambled or over easy, hash browns, your choice of flip-flop pancakes or half-baked potatoe pie. complimentary

Glazed tea.

Anointed Burger

100% ground chuck, Holey swiss cheese, Shrooms(yellow and red with polkadots and heaps of shitaki),special suace, and homemade

miracle wheat buns.

Spiritual Paradise Burger

Too good to be true.

Mega Waffle power plate

All the waffles you can eat. New waffles made daily. Extra helpings of butter and slipup.

No Blood Burger.

The GB has personally sucked the blood out of this one so you don't have to. Plenty of Ketchup though.

Heard they're going to change the name though to 'Deny's" for some reason.

24 hour field service marathon ??
by gingerbread in

2. friends
field service for up to twenty-four hours non-stop.... it's a bit of a fad in our area with pioneers - the twenty somethings especially.

we've heard from other family members and a jw friend that it's a thing in their part of the country as well.. it sounds like a group decides on a day and then piles into a van or suv to 'work' the territory - 12, 18 and even 24 hours.. anyone else hearing of this?.

8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!…

New "Generations" WT Study Article in 2014??
by daringhart13 in

2. bible
i see people mentioning this and have visited the site looking at all posted wt's.......i see no paragraph's discussing 'generations'....does anyone have any direction?.

How long was Jesus' generation? well only 37 years. Why should we expect any different? Apparently you can quardruple the generation and it still makes sense. Really in effect they have made another ~quarter century prediction as per their pattern. 2025 is a more sure date than 2000 just like 1925 was a more sure date than 1914. Hey if you say it long enough eventually you will be right. That is like a broken clock claiming to be right twice a day. So I am going to start saying the end is coming soon right now and I'll have JW WTB society beat by a good century that must make me smarter than them and more anointed.(2 scoops holy spirit)

there is a gray space, unconnected rifts in the truth.

it is a question that once you ask it you will never be the same - like being on the.

event horizon of a black hole.

Here it is. There is a gray space, unconnected rifts in the truth. It is a question that once you ask it you will never be the same - like being on the

event horizon of a black hole. So - when out in service and you stop for a donut you are supposed to stop your time - but, if you place a tract while at the donut shop you can keep you time going but how long does that placement last for keeping your time going? This is the unanswered question my friend that NO JW can answer and will send the GB into the blackness of the space time continuum. Does it last 15 minutes? 17 minutes? How long does that tract placement last?? 20 min?? Is 21 min pushing it? 30 is surely forbidden. How long does a fast food tract last??? THE ULTIMATE QUESTION.
