it's no longer a year tying to the present (the old pre-1995 generation belief).
realistically, that's the only reason why it mattered.
and if it doesn't really matter what it is anymore, why would jw not do away with it?.
1914 ? Just stop all reference to it...just like the 7000 year creative day, 1975, and so on.
WT INC needs to focus on positive future events--like resurrection, new world, and other myths like those.

Sydneya day agoHello everyone I had sex with my 'worldly' bf 7 days ago. It was after I was baptized. I went and talked to the elders and they said they won't do anything but they are setting up a panel for me of three elders.

by now, it should be painfully obvious that we live in a post tonny morris era where the floods of organizational changes have become possible and a new version of the religion, some have called it warchtower 2.0 is emerging with a soft approach to disfellowshipping practices across the board for all those sinners.
nevertheless 3 groups of people will still be targeted for harsh excommunication, we know the first two well :csa perpetrators and apostates.
it happened to me--and i fell for it.
everybody plays the fool.

slept with my bf who is of the world. I am pregnant from this. I don't know how the elders will deal with it. Is there any way that I could just anul m baptism or something I got baptized 2 weeks ago btw.
so you were pregnant when you got baptised ? Maybe be better if you had waited a while.
regarding the poster from jw headquarters, who claimed that the gb would eventually loosen the rules regarding sex.
the question is, is there really a bible rule explicitly prohibiting sex without marriage?
because this would be the only possible reason why loosening those rules would even come up in a discussion.
St George of England10 hours agoI vaguely remember a situation many years ago in a country where divorce was not allowed.
probably the Philippines:
there is no divorce in the Philis ( between pinoy husband and pinay wife. Its different if one party is a foreigner )
there are a lot of JWs there.
while having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.
rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.
1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.
sod the after meeting coffee--lets have a licensed bar!
like a private members club--cheap booze .
