  don't be confused .when i say who i mean who because back in 1957 jehovah's witnesses didn't believe that armageddon was just the gathering of the kings of the earth to battle with the invisible armies of jesus' angels.no ,armageddon was more than that and it did fit bible account far more than it does today .. read the post below which contains a 1957 question from readers (please let me know if the page is displaying correctly on your browser).

  is armageddon a place ?.

  this is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.

  " for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.

  it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

  If I knew more about web-site design I might be tempted to splash out £5 and build a spoof site.

  Welcome! Do work hard at college and make the most of the opportunity that your father is supporting (at some cost to himself potentially).

  Can't see any evidence whatsoever for a god, certainly not one who has any interest in humankind. I don't know why there was a big bang but we seem to have the following 13.7 billion years pretty well understood.

  Looks like the elder hasn't understood that the belt tightening happens only after you lose weight.

  Sickening. I just hope reading that will discourage some people who might otherwise join the cult.

  That's a 2% fall. in that period the US population (which presumably dominates these figures) grew by around 3% I think. Not very impressive for the WT.

  JWs: not creationists but believe in creation...

  by TheStumbler in

  i've been having a bit of an email exchange with elder dad and i need some advice.

  i thought i was getting through to him but i think my criticism and tone became a bit too strident in my last email and now he thinks that i am attacking him personally.

  i think he has dismissed everything i said because he perceived me as 'overally critical, and rude.. .

  As far as I can make out, JWs are creationists in any normal sense of the word. However for your Dad, the word creationist means a 6-day creationist, which JWs are not, therefore, in his eyes, JWs are not creationists. I'd give up on this one if I were you.
