Do You Believe It's Possible We Might Be In "The Time Of The End"?
by minimus inmany religions other than jws believe we are at the "end times".
some individuals believe the earth will really be destroyed either by means of god or man in this century.. what's your take?.

No! All of the talk about the last days, the end times, etc. has been ongoing in many cults and offshoot groups and religions for centuries. Many have put their faith in that and have passed on without seeing it come about.
Science, Nature,and Man singularly or combined have the power to bring an end to civilization as we know it. It will have nothing to do with any books written about a religious idea.
Even if nuclear winter were to come in the future, nature will bounce back, life will go on, round and round it goes.
We all reach our own personal time of the end from sickness, old age, diseases, and accidents etc.
Down we go, into the ground. From there, there are all kinds of beliefs as to what happens next.
The End.

Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley sang that song. Both do such a good job. The lyrics hit home for most of us.
Elvis also sang a song called "Daddy Please Don't Cry". It's a heart breaker

We had gone through the same some years ago. It's like losing a member of the family. Our C.O. who had to put his dog to sleep, invited us to his home and sang "Old Shep" for us. Try and get that song and let your son listen to it. it will help him and you get through this.

July 4th, 2008 -- The Price of Freedom
by Nathan Natas inhave you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the declaration of independence?.
five were imprisoned by the british as traitors and tortured before they died.. twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.. two lost their sons serving in the revolutionary army; another had two sons captured.. nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.. they signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.. what kind of men were they?.
twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Stalking when you have left them..
by Blueblades ini just received an e-mail from a close friend who told me that two brothers from my old congregation are trying to locate me since i moved out of state and away from the congregation.. he tells me that they are phone and computer savvy.
one person knows how to use the phone system and can find any persons phone number private or otherwise.
the other is computer savvy and can use it to locate anyone from his computer.. is this a form of stalking?

Is this a form of stalking? What if anything can I do about it legally?
Has this happened to you when you left the congregation and moved away?
I have had no contact with any one from my old congregation since 2005.
If and when the time comes if I am contacted without my consent, I will handled it. I have no fear nor am I worried about this. I just want to know if there is any legal way I can resort to if and when the time comes and I am contacted.
By my writing this one topic I may have revealed myself, if they are lurking here. Again I will handled this my way and with your help and advice.
Thanks for your help in advance.

The year the end finally came: the YEAR OF THE BIG LIE
by Terry inyou have to understand three things to comprehend the significance of 1975.. 1975 was the end of the watchtower society as we who lived in the 50's and 60's once knew it.
it would forever change because it was exposed for all the world to see as a group of liars and deceived dupes.. it all began with a baptist farmer named william miller who sat down with only his bible and a concordance and a crackpot idea that a .
a "day for a year" and the gentile times meant something profound which would effect his own day and time.

Another keeper Terry! Mary,thanks for the you tube link. I remember well that circuit assembly theme: Who Will Conquer The World In The 1970's
I was one of those whose's imagination was captured concerning 1975. I was baptized in 1970, my wife 1971, Our first child came in 1972, our second child came in 1973. From 1969 studying "THE BLUE BOMB", The Truth Book, until 1975, seven years, anxiety reigned over us.
Then the big letdown, what to do, we stayed for another 33 years! Unbelieveable! Old truth, present truth, new truth etc. I conducted the 1995 Generation Change. Soon, very soon, near, nearer than you think etc.
Chasing "THE CARROT!" all those precious lost years. We were not alone, millions of others became captives of a concept a big illusion.
Well, it's all past history and we have moved on.
