"They're out to get me!"
by Nan inis it my imagination, or do jehovah witnesses have an "everyone is against me" attitude??
our daughter-in-law (who is a jw) seems to have this mind-set.
whether its getting the car repaired, going to the doctor, work done on the house, etc., they all have "ripped her off".

JW cannots........
by Nan ini couldn't believe this list of cannots that jws have to adhere to!
i already knew about the holidays, blood tranfusions, the pledge, etc.
there's maybe one or two that i would agree are for your own good, but the rest are ridiculous!!

Was wondering.......
by Nan ini was wondering if jws have to buy their wt & awake magazines that they distribute door to door?
also, are they required to sell them or do they just give them away at the door?
if they sell them, do they keep the money....or have to give it to the (b)org?.

I need to prove that the WT BS is false
by dh into a very close relative, who said they will listen if i can mail them info.
basically i need to present the truth about the truth, but only things that can be verified either in society print, or in the case of the un, from the un itself, no opinions, just documents that can be checked, preferably old and new and on varying matters, inconsistencies, blatant changes in doctrine etc, with references.. .
it's always been so 'matter of fact' for me that it's all false, i fear that if i try to provide information with just my own mindset, i will miss a lot and might not provide the best info, i have tried searching on the site but there are so many posts i struggle to find even posts i remember seeing last month.. .

Questions and thoughts on the "1914 generation" doctrine, a brief history
by run dont walk inwell, its been 8 years since the last change in the "generation" term, i have seen lots of questions and great topics on this.. i would like to cover it from top to bottom (briefly, dont want to write an encyclopedia), and get your opinions, and see if i am right or way off track !!!!!.
1879 russell beging zions watchtower, and predicts end of the world by 1914, and all following him will go to heaven.. now, lets remember something here, russell never taught about a paradise earth, 144,000, generation ideas, or called god jehovah.. so in reality the jehovahs witness organization started with rutherford (and what a piece of work he was) in 1916-1917 or so.
rutherford assumes control of the organization, proceeds to disfellowship or fire all people in charge and replaces them with his own choices, thus causing new religions to start (russellites etc.
