"The gentile times reconsidered"

by zebagain in

have just finished the book by olofsson on this subject.

anyone else read it.?

it is extremely detailed and not an easy read at all.

Have just finished the book by Olofsson on this subject. Anyone else read it.? It is extremely detailed and not an easy read at all. His use of many threads of research and records is astounding. No wonder it scared the daylights out of wts.

Sadly Oloffson does not give us a summary the book just ends.

I ask generally what is the point in looking for predictions in 'days' or what this means or that means? He does make clear that the wts is not the first group to 'prophecy' about dates and comings.He illuminates by revealing some rabbis were doing this generations before the wts came into being. Russels thinking is revealed as an offshoot of others and all have been proved wrong by the passing of time and the wts single support the dating to 607, 1914 etc has been left in rubble.

I have always had in mind jesus words; "no man knows the day.." and i feel anyone seeking the 'day' is presumptuous and should be occupying themselves with charitable works and any organisation seeking the 'day' is simply arrogant.

Jehovah's Witnesses accused of seperatism in Georgia.

by quellycatface in

just been reading an article on the web about a new kh being built, which is causing a divide in a town in georgia.. the locals are protesting.. i suppose the jdub's think they're fighting the theocratic fight.no thought of them being diplomatic and building it somewhere else..

dont vote in elections hmm I recall the night when an elder made a very brief mention that voting was now considered a personal/conscience matter. The notice about a half 'a-5' size was put up on the notice board but was gone by the next week... funny that.

(We have a Senate election in April this year here in Australia)

It must have been a brother!

by hoser in

i was listening to a conversation of jws recently about how trusting they are with each other and how out in "the world" you have to be ever so careful that you don't put down your purse or wallet for a minute otherwise it will be stolen.. i entered the conversation with an experience that one of my close friends had.

(true story) he was in a public place with a wallet with significant amount of cash and bank card, credit card, id, etc.. somehow he lost or misplaced the wallet, panicked of course.

he went to the police, cancelled all his cards and thought it was gone for sure.

and honesty and being with honour used to be hall marks of JW. I guess they have 'over witnessed' and are getting in a whole lot of people and attitudes they didnt have before.

Think of the mob that left Egypt with Moses and Co who were not Israelites. After the mess Egypt was after the 10 plagues all the scum would attach themselves to anyone who was doing better.
