  When was Christ's invisible presence changed to 1914 ? first mention of it?

  by run dont walk in

  2. beliefs

  kind of a continuation of my previous thread, does anyone know when christ's invisible presence was changed to 1914 form 1874 ???.

  the prophecy book (1929), mentions it as positively being in 1874, i've seen a few watchtowers from 1930 say the same.. surely there must of been a huge book or watchtower mentioning the change.

  this would of been the most important "new light" ever for witnesses.

  How do the Kigdom Melodies compare to Christendom's Songs?

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just have to comment about the canned wtbts music on cd the local congregations play on $150 cd players through $20 speakers set in the foamboard ceilings at their sales meetings worship services.

  what a joke the music is that they use to sing praises.

  the lyrics remind me of a high school pep rally with all the emphasis on 'we're joe hoba's witnesses and yada-yada-yah preaching from door to door and from house to house' or 'life everlasting in the pair-o-dice' crap that just tickles the dubbies ears so much they get all pretty and pink.

  20 years ago..a talk concerning field service..sisters crying..eyes opened

  by confusedjw in

  well i can't recall now which public talks it was - one of my first - and it dealt with field service / preaching.

  so i thought i would interview several people in the congregation about service and their thoughts and feelings on the subject, expecting something very different than what i got.

  to my shock (i was an over zealous young buck who thought the sun rose and set on the wt) three sisters burst into tears as they told about their feelings of inadequacy and guilt over field service.

  KM School, Private "letters", Elders Mtgs, and your point is........?

  by upside/down in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've never understood something... all the political elbowing for superiority and right to brow beat the flock and have a facade of respect due to and unearned, but rather siezed position and the wts can't fix it with all the "provisions from j"?.

  i've been to km school, read the "letters" from "mother" and sat through endlessly boring bickerfests meetings.

  all the old timers and the politically motivated and upwardly mobile kiss asses ms and elders are in such a tizzy to go to these so they can have "one up-manship" over the rest of the flock (apparently being "in the know" is very titilating).. i remember that most of the counsel from the wts seemed "good", especially that geared toward how ms and elders should conduct themselves and treat the flock.

  Being publicly reproved

  by Strawberryfieldsforever in

  2. friends

  years ago my husband and i were publicly reproved.

  we had gone out with some "worldly friends" from work and went dancing and had a few drinks too many.

  well someone must have been around to see us and told the elders.

  jehovah's witnesses certainly have some unique beliefs and some are very, very confusing.

  anything that you never quite understood?

  What's the most ridiculous thing you were ever counselled on?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.

  they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.

  i was once counselled for joking around too much.

  Dinosaur's & fossils records

  by moman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been in the "truth" for some yrs., & just can't seem to reconsile the huge fossile record with the society's timetable.

  if each creative day waz 7k yrs., that means the dinosaurs only lived on this earth for a few thousand yrs.= (sixth creative day 7k yrs.

  to noah's flood).
