good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.
there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.
it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.
Oh come on everyone....don't you all know that: "this generation" actually means :
"this extended period of time that can be up to many generations that overlap but are yet contemporaries, yet may be hundreds of years apart"!!?
Simple!
Now, REMAIN LOYAL!!!
that means "the site is slow but it's not my fault and there's nothing i can do about it".
well, i've upped the instance configuration to see if that will help.. i'm sure google are working on the issue.
probably not by randomly wiggling cables and turning things off and on like i solve network problems but hey, they're the experts..
I just thought it was me.... Im kinda running slow too....

Just saw a great quote on social media:
"NEVER let your loyalty, become SLAVERY"
How fitting!
Wonder of the person who posted the quote (a witness) is awake?

I am rolling on the floor....

As you walk on in the front door, make sure to say hi to all those bethelites being kicked out the back door!
just watching this video about a bethel member, single again - gives advice at morning worship.he tries to convince young 16 year old girls who visit bethel and eat in the cafeteria to marry him.he offers the full blessings as wife of a prince in the new world and gives arguments that speakfor a fast decision... shocking stupidy.

in another video of ex-bethelite (how women are treated) a bethel elder is mentioned who talked to brothers at the table and gave advice abouth marriage and said that it would be the best to marry a women when is as young and pretty as possible, (at 8:45) so you have the possibilty to train her and to mode her in to what you want and get her used in the roles you set for her..... other bethelits made big errors and married older women 24,25.women that would have their own concepts of what bethel or marriage should be.
Wow.....
i've never liked being late for meetings, 10 minutes early has always been 5 minutes late for me.
i'm a very punctual atheist at the meetings still.. when someone asks a simple question from the platform and not one dummy raises their hand, i still feel the need to raise my hand so that we don't all look like idiots.. my shoes still need to be clean and polished, my suits and ties match and are in good shape.
i never wear them anywhere else.. i still feel like saying hello to people that are obviously being ignored by everyone else.. people not singing out still bugs me, lol.
Agree with scratchme's comments above.
For an outgoing person, we must find another outlet for the routine....
i have argued with several jws who are now being trained to deny the org ever said the end in 75, what is your approach?.
"Stay alive till 75"
What about the infamous late 60's awake about not pursuing education because the end would be here before a university course would be completed.?
looking for some material to post on facebook or at least share with my wife to somewhat inoculate her mind before the convention this weekend.. found this gem...it's as if the writers are apostates reasoning against the tactics used at this years convention.....(probably old news to many here....quite new for me).. the cunning propagandist loves such shortcuts—especially those that short-circuit rational thought.
propaganda encourages this by agitating the emotions, by exploiting insecurities, by capitalizing on the ambiguity of language, and by bending rules of logic.
as history bears out, such tactics can prove all too effective.. [...].
in the late 1990s there was magazine article that asked the question, are jws a secret society?
obviously they said no, because they claim to be transparent to outsiders and new members.
but they really are not transparent at all.
Well said ctrwtf!
