A 1914 generation question

by Pwned in

i was around in 1995, barely, but i dont remember any talks or articles where the new light about the generation of 1914. did they change w/o coming right out and saying so,or was there a talk.

especially in regards to the mission statement or whatever in the awake, did they make an announcement or did they just hope no one would notice?

i just cant believe that there wasnt a mass exodus after that, my family never mentioned the change to me, i didnt even know til years later on this site.

ok, i have not had a lot of experience with death and the one loved one...really loved like a brother ...person that passed in 2002 was my first close, hurt your heart friend to go.

so this last year, maybe year and a half, i have worked with the same 14 to 16 people.

between all of us we have had at least twenty loved ones die, and one of our group that i sat next to for 4 years died.

Crisis of Conscience

by Thinking in

my copy came in and i picked it up today.

i have a friend that i met online.....about 5 years ago.

at the time he was an elder and i was a struggling sister.

If I had to choose three 'apostate' must read books it would be:

1. Crisis of Conscience
2. In Search of Christian Freedom
3. The Gentile Times Reconsidered

..with a REALLY close follow up being "The Sign of the Last Days - When?". They all can be ordered from Commentary Press.

Great exit books.

Who do you miss the most?

by Crumpet in

particularly for those who are shunned for reasons of dfing and daing completely, who do you miss the most that no longer has anything to do with you?

and why?

I'm really happy I found you guys. This entire mess of a board feels more like home to me than any Kingdom Hall ever did. Thanks for letting me in.

has anybody invited you to go to the memorial this year?

do you expect to be invited?.

usually elders come over a few days before to invite me, but they didn't come yet....

I know how that feels Opinionated.. I had a really sincere elder friend when I made one last stand in the org.. leaving for me really didnt have much to do with the individual people in the congregation. I know how sad that kind of stuff can make a person feel, seriously.
