i just wonder about this topic as it is now 109 years since that date and what was expected to take place has never happened ..
Blues Brother you mentioned the times, times and half a time.
There was an article in the Mirror newspaper recently where Isaac Newton predicted the end of the world, and then Christ would return and reign for a millennium., using the same methodology.

He predicted that in 1750.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.

bible questions answered.
who were the nephilim?.
the bible account says that “the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (genesis 6:2) those ‘sons of god’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against god when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—jude 6; genesis 6:2.. the hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children.
How could angels procreate? Never made sense to me that they could become a human and have the ability to father children. Surely that makes them akin to a creator. Their DNA is presumably non existent and if it existed would be nothing like a humans so no way could they have children. If they could then why didn't half of them become men and the other half women and then they could fill the earth with fully angel offspring rather then hybrids.

So will the Nephilim get a resurrection?
did anybody else catch it?.
he said that people who come back in the earthly resurrection would be given a body "reasonably similar" to the one they had prior to death.. what the almighty hootch?.
"similar"?.
I cant read their mind, but maybe it takes account of the fact that some with disfigurements may come back without them. So they will be a new improved version of what they where. So not exactly the same but similar enough for you to know that they were still them.
The whole concept has very little detail. Do they come back old and disabled or do they come back looking like they di when they were 30? Do they come back with Cancer and then it disappears slowly. Do they come back with only one leg and the other one returns in time. Are disabilities and diseases on a sliding sale where some they come back with and some they don't?
That is supposing the whole thing wasn't a load of rubbish to start with. And even if it was true they would not be coming back anyway it would just be a copy of them.
The point is even though they have made the theory up they don't really know what it means and just make wild guesses while telling the rank and file not to speculate.
https://www.prri.org/research/2020-census-of-american-religion/.
more than one-third of muslims (39%), white mainline protestants (37%), buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree.
another 19% are catholic, 2% are latter-day saint, and less than 1% each are jehovah’s witnesses or orthodox christians.
compared to the median age in the country of 47
The median age of the US is not 47 it is 38.5. So Median age of JWs is significantly higher than average.
i see posts that evans does not seem to like being removed.
i guess he is not a lot different than the control cult he left.
his rebuttal to the zoom assembly he said that dawkins made some silly comments about gender.
I don’t watch all of Evans’ videos, but I haven’t seen any where he’s even mentioned JW forums let alone ‘bash’ them. It’s certainly possible that he has done so, but it definitely isn’t ‘at every opportunity’. I’m guessing you’re referring to something he said in a ‘livestream’.
projecthydra you have taken the words out of my mouth. I dont recall him doing that at all. Isn't it ironic that there are threads devoted to bashing Lloyd Evans in which he is accused of bashing this forum and others.
Personally I find his material valuable in my journey to shake the JW indoctrination off (as I did with this forum for many years in the past although I think this forum has morphed into something else now that is maybe not so ex JW focussed).
Actually, in some ways it is harder than ever to leave.
Now it doesn't matter where you live or if you answer the phone or not. If you use social media they will stalk you and analyse every comment and post you make to see if it fits the required personality.
wow, just watched a video from the 'world economic forum' , a respectable organization by the way, not the usual conspiracy lunatic theorist.
it says that by 2030 meat is gonna be a treat not widely available like today, that the us is not gonna be a global superpower anymore, instead a handful of countries will dominate and that people is not gonna own nothing but will be happy.. well, that would help the borg to keep the craziness going on.. thoughts?
what's this great reset?.
A consumer based society is not sustainable and only adds to problems. Try the 90 day challenge. If you don't use something for 90 consecutive days get rid of it.
This 90 day challenge seems to be a superb idea.
I haven't used my winter coat for 90 days, so I threw it out, and I really needed that coat because I threw my wood burner away last september
I need to fill out my tax return but I can't because all the invoices I was keeping I threw out as I hadn't looked at them for more than 90 days.
My house is on fire, I'd better use my fire extinguisher to put it out, damn I threw that out as it was just sitting there not being used.
i have a few jw relatives who are true believers.
by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.
all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.
Vidiot
.they know it’s wrong...
...but believe it’s true...
...at the same time.
That is exactly how I felt when in. A strange concept but certainly possible.
