  Living in the era of "Generation Me"

  this really got to me today at the wt study.. i am not ashamed to admit, i am part of that "generation".. you get one role of the dice in this life, you got to take what you can now, in order to have a good quality life later.. i agree, we need to help and show love to our fellow man.

  but, not when this becomes the priority above our own needs, wants and aspirations.. welcome to "generation me" wt, this is my time.. peace out..

  They are, of course, recycling an old phrase that someone else invented.

  Including a phrase about the "older generation" that they are "not with it."

  Haven't heard that expression in about 20 years.

  For aeons, I have had 2 "land-lines" (not really land-lines, as they are VOIP phones - dirt-cheap). One is publicized, the other is unlisted.

  All of the calls from the listed number go to voicemail. (This includes banks, employers, businesses, etc.)
  

  Only very trusted people have the unlisted number.

  Even fewer have my cellphone,

  I was always reticent to complete the disaster relief form (I never did turn one in), as it is just another harvesting method of the borg.

  If anything is severely compromised, time for a new number (same with email.).

  And this one from 52:30 onwards. (Also a talk from 1972):
  http://www.centralprint.net/jwtalks/SpecialTalks/Kite%20Floyd%20-%20Are%20You%20Marked%20for%20Survival.mp3

  "Let me assure you of this, there are a dozen inexorable forces at work right now that are converging together, inside of this decade, that will spell disaster for this system of things, and there is nothing that no human can do to prevent it. If you've been waiting, I'd say this is time to act."

  And then more jibberish about the generation.

  Rutherford took over the WT by disfellowshiping the ones designed by Russell in his testament and anyone that didn't agree with him. He claimed to be one of the anointed, and it took him 12 years to get baptized.

  Can someone expound on "it took Rutherford 12 years to get baptized"?

  I hope everyone here realizes that she has decided to return to the Borg.

  which is a crying shame, as I enjoyed her vids so much, especially:

  Ahh, Bill the '69 Awake!

  "You will never grow old in this system."

  Ha-ha, what a classic!

  

  Say, that reminds me, Jack.

  Do you remember our families talking of the '41 convention?

  Ahh, yes, the Children book.

  Let's imitate Noah's sons, and wait until after Armageddon to have our own children.

  After all, it is only a few years away.

  
  

  Ha-ha, How can they keep this thing going?

  I don't know. But as long as I don't get kicked out of Bethel at my age, I'm just going to keep nodding my head. (I'm really just dozing off anyways.)

  Party on Bill.

  Party on Jack.

  Jehovahs Chariot ... as driven by the GB

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  someone mentioned "jehovahs chariot is on the move" on another topic and i immediately had flashbacks to those articles where they tried to explain how a chariot could have wheels that went in every direction and also had eyes, something idiotic.. i had a chuckle because the image that then popped into my head when i thought about those wheels going every direction was not one of those clever honda devices with the clever wheel thingy - no, it was a supermarket trolley.

  you know the ones where one or two of the wheels wobbly and have a mind of their own and typically want to veer off suddenly into an elaborate display of tinned food?.

  that is jehovahs chariot as driven by the governing body.

  One minute the internet is evil and the next it's the best thing ever and everyone should use an iPad for everything.

  This week's demonstration.

  (Feb 2015 KM )
  

  He then organizes his service bag and makes sure that his electronic device is ready to play.

  I'm reflecting on the old phonograph witnessing, and that the higher-ups in WTS are thinking, "Hey it worked in the past - let's do it with tablets."

  The differences are:

  - portable phonographs were unique and fairly novel,

  - most of the population in the past was unsophisticated, and unable to research compared to what is readily available today.

  Given the comments in the number baptized thread, I cannot imagine this tablet witnessing having any impact whatsoever in western lands.

  Is there anyone still in that is using a tablet (Go Moses!) door-to-door?

  If so, what is the response compared to pushing magazines?
