  The Generation of 1914 - I was taught the understanding prior to the 1994 change in the Awake - I thought the generation born before 1914 would not die off - before the big A

  I hadn't realised this prophesy had changed....doesn't that make a lot of old WT literature obsolete? QUESTION : Why is Hubert's and Stilla's IP the same?

  Am not sure I understand, as this....

  However, according to the Bible, it should be on Friday 25, They never care about the day or time, only convenient and money (some KH are rent, extra day renting , extra electrical spending etc...).

  .contradicts this...

  If your congregation normally has meetings on Thursday, these are to be switch to another day of the week

  ...so, the way I read it, they won't lose out either way...

  Why Are Some Superstitions Okay?

  by Swan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is one of the things i never understood as a jw.

  i was told that jws were not superstitious people.

  as followers of the true god jehovah, we weren't to give in to false beliefs, even if others were practicing them.

  Plus it is the Eyes of March

  You mean the IDES of March? Ides is Latin for ''division'' (I think) and the Ides occur approx half way through each month.

  A Jehovah's Witness was handing out pamphlets about the end of the world in the Nostrand Avenue subway station yesterday when she saw someone carrying a bag of body parts.

  You wouldn't think they'd put body-parts in see through-bags, would you?

  From Here To The KH..

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  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.

  I agree with Satanus - to a prisoner of 30 years the inside of a 6 x 6 cell is all he knows, and the outside World, although representing ''freedom'' may appear scary and alien. Sometimes it's more comfortable to stay with what you know.

  i'm off to visit my jw family for the weekend.

  i've been fading for about five years, so our visits are always kinda like walking in a minefield.

  anyway, i've been thinking about my friend r. r and i met and started studying in 7th grade and she is the only person i can say i directly "brought" into the org.

  Why Let The Elders Tell You What To Do?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any are still going to meetings or allowing the organization to control you, i'd like to know why are you allowing the elders to dictate to you what is right and wrong.

  the elders are no better than you!

  Yet they have the real power to disfellowship!

  THAT is POWER?....all they have is the ability to convince a whole bunch of other people to be rude (by ignoring / shunning) - that says a lot about them and their minions.
