Do you think I should give (this woman who emailed me), do you think I should give her Email address to Dateline so she could defend the Organization.
Hey see may get reinstated sooner for her efforts.
I'll defend your right to say it, but it doesn't mean I beleive it.
Problem with the phrase middle-aged?? Well I am glad you raised this, as it is a highly subjective term of little meaning.For example should one live to the ripe age of 100, then middle age is in fact 50. However in some cases life is snuffed out at 20 and thus making middle age for said person 10 years of age.
Interesting points, Kis. However, we MUST look at this from a theocratic point of view.
As we well know from the "generation" teachings, a generation is 70 years. Therefore, middle-aged is 35.....unless, of course the prophecy concerning the generation in question never comes to pass and Jehovah sees fit to adjust the length of a generation to fit.
In this case, we know for a certainty that Jehovah has now informed the GB that a generation is 125 years. Therefore, middle age is 62 1/2 years. Unless, of course, Jehovah should see fit to inform the GB that the generation should reflect the generation present at the time of creation, which would have been approximately 1,000 years....making middle age, 500 years old.
This means, obviously, that everyone since the time of Adam and Eve has died in infancy.
Please, dear Kismet, correct your thinking on the matter.
Below is a email I received today.

Someone please hand that woman a napkin so that she may dab the spittle and foam from her mouth.
Seriously, though it's so sad: those two e-mails (the one to D Wiltshire and Chuck D) reflect some very unquiet souls. VERY disturbed. May they have peace. That WOULD be a fruit of the spirit. So, does that mean I have the spirit? things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm.......
Love,
B. :)
D Wiltshire,
I would give her the e-mail address of Dateline. I doubt she'll use it anyway, she just afraid of losing everything she's beleived in all her life.
Some please tell me what the Email address of Dateline is.
Former elder turned apostate (by WT definition)[:)}and proud of it!
LOL@Bridgette! "spittle" and "foam" Too funny!

You gotta' give the lady credit, at least she is literate and articulate. The hate emails I got were badly mispelled. And I had to call him to task for being so rude. This one at least has some merit. Although, she is badly entrenched in the JW mindset. Just my opinion.

I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE DONE TOO.
HOWEVER, I SIT AND WAIT FOR JEHOVAH TO GIVE A FURTHER
CLARIFICATION ON MATTERS
Like, Jehovah is going to tell you how to fix your Caps Lock key?
PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MY TIME BY WRITING
TO ME WITH YOUR NONSENSE. GOOD CONDUCT SPEAKS FOR
ITSELF!!!!!
True JW thinking: "I do all the talking, you do all the listening". This person sounds not just very angry, but also terribly insecure. Sad.
I know it's black-and-white thinking, but it just seems to me that many rank-and-file JWs are toggling between two states of mind: arrogance (when they have at least one "mature brother" or "zealous sister" nearby) and fear (when there's no "brother" or "sister" around).
