I always work on Friday and Saturday nights, usually from 4pm until about 11pm. It's about midnight and I got home a half hour ago. We had to train a new worker tonight. He lasted exactly 47 minutes. He then went outside for a cigarette break and never came back. (It can be pretty hectic at work, and I can see where it could become intimidating to new people). We looked all over the place and then noticed that his bike was gone. We are training another new guy tomorrow night.

That sure was a lot of work just to get my name on a list so I can receive junk email when this guy sells my email info to whoever wants it. I didn't give him my email address. I guess that makes me a genius.

Haha, that's exactly why I did NOT put my name on that list.

Sigh, this IS going to cause me a heart attack. I need to get this over with. Okay leolaila and misspeaches... this is what I have.

(level 13),

Outside, I have taken water out of the well and extinguished the fire in front of the little door, but don't know how to open the door yet.

The dove, which flew out of a room upstairs, is sitting on a piece of rope.

Downstairs, I have no idea what to do with that machine.

On floor B, there are 4 pictures, they seem to give a hint to a color combination, which I assume has to be used in by the machine downstairs, but I don't know how.

I have noticed that whenever I log off and then on again and start level 13 over, the paintings on floor B change. Sometimes it gives the color blue for north, sometimes it gives the color green for north, etc..

I've paid attention to the north and south colors, ligning them up in the machine downstairs, but that doesn't seem to solve anything.

Help??

it's 2 in the morning again, and I'm off to bed..

One time, an elder's daughter had brought her school teacher to the Tuesday night bookstudy. At the end of the study, right before the prayer, the conductor had briefly gone over the subjects of the Thursday meeting and pointed out that it was our turn to clean the hall that Saturday, etc... He then asked "anything else"? The teacher, who had been quiet during the entire study raised his hand. When he spoke, he kindly thanked for the invitation to this interesting bookstudy, and then he invited everyone present to a christmas celebration in his church. There was a short, awkward silence. When the conductor had recovered, he told the teacher that after the prayer, someone would explain to him what the JW view is regarding christmas. it was pretty embarrassing.

what do you think the new releases will be at the dc?.

a brochure or two?

a recycled publication with a new title and look?.

fairchild

What do you think the new releases will be this summer?

* A book for children titled "Things normal kids do but you never will"

* A small, pocket size bible dictionary. On page 45 you can read under generation "The timespan between 1914 and Armageddon"

* A book titled "Satan And The Internet"

By the way, my first book will be released this summer. Perhaps I should dedicate it to all ex JWs, but I'm sure that would get me into trouble with the local congregation here, lol.

The Generation Game 10 years on - 1995

by truthseeker in

it's been roughly ten years since the change in the understanding of the generation was printed in a november watchtower.. while i won't discuss here what everyone already knows about this change, and the effects it had on many people, questions have to be asked.. what happens next for the watchtower society?

where is the leadership?.

in what direction are they headed?.

fairchild, I think the WTS still teaches that 1914 is the end of the Gentile Times and when Jesus started ruling as the messianic king in heaven. The WTS has unhooked the idea of a generation from 1914 though.

Oh, thank you much for clearing this up for me, blondie. I had no idea that the 1914 date was still of any significance. That explains why they're not too shy to use the Daniel book again. But now it doesn't make sense for any thinking person, because when his disciples asked him "When will be the sign of your presence, and the end of this system of things", Jesus summed up the signs, and then said "This generation will by no means pass away .... etc... etc... " Now it comes together for me, finally.. The end of the gentile times was the beginning of his 'presence', and they stick to that date, but they ripped the generation part off the whole time frame, oh my God.....
