  From Here To The KH..

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  i'm pretty sure that a few people whom i have met personally from jwd have actually gone back to being full-blown witnesses.

  (i guess i must be pretty scary in real life, eh?).

  i think too, that some of them have suddenly become believers again.

  Suggested Masthead for the New Improved Awake!

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in thinking about the change to awake - it seems a new masthead would be in order.

  i suggest;since 1980 we have been using this magazine and other printed propoganda in an all out effort to win the 'apostate wars'.

  in addition, beginning shortly before we applied to the united nations for a library card, we began to publish very favorable political articles about that organization in order to curry favor, and to recieve the best possible seat upon the back of that horrific beastlike organization.

  Were the doors locked at your KH, during meetings?

  i remember a time when the brothers locked the doors during a meeting.

  if you arrived late, they had to come and unlock the door to let you in.

  i also remember a time when they weren't locked.

  1914 Generation...

  by Tuesday in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  forgive me i haven't been on the board in a bit, but what is the current train of thought on the 1914 generation never dying.

  is the belief finally dead and they're now picking something else?

  last i checked it was a broader sense of the word, like napolean's generation was like anyone from the 1800's or something.

  Imagine - if Russell was resurrected tomorrow, he wouldn't recognise the religion he founded. It's a whole new concept now!

  If they havent kept up the the chariot, they still think the 1914 gen is what dubs believe.

  That'll be me then........

  how on EARTH do they get away with it? Half the literature must be null and void now......wait, did I say HALF?
