CO admits from platform that "we were embarassed by 1975."

said with a smirk/smile/grin.

this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

The damage will go on for generations.

I think we will be hearing more and more about it as the generation grows older. It has to be made light of.

Ha, ha...we were so zealous then...

Why?? So that the 35 year olds don't feel it's worth a second look. The younger crowd is curious...They see the financial difficulties their parents and grand parents are having and wonder why.

A comment was made on an earlier thread that "we don't see any publications in circulation from the Rutherford era, or the Franz era." The more the younger gen looks into this, the worse it gets.

The "75" debacle becomes more devestating as each new generation of JWs come along.

The CO seemed to really have a defensive stance.

Sticky Situation - What to do?

by I<3MYGod in

i have posted about my experience with the cult....so now i find myself in a difficult position.

i have left it alone for many years but i wonder what you guys think.. i faded away from the cult and stopped going for quite a while.

my older sister took it upon herself to meet with my family and discuss all my sins and actions (they were active).

watson

Let it go...wait...one day she will approach you. Then have a heart to heart. You can take the high road.

The microphone guy has kind of an edgy hair cut/style. May not be around long.

With the latest Australian Special Talk, we now have a complete picture of the Organizational Plan

per this australian talk, found here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/203281/1/latest-special-talk-in-australia id say we have now seen the future........ ah yes........the governing body is now starting to show their hand, to begin to show their future plans for this false-religion-cult of fear and oppression.

it has been said on here for the last few years now, that with the elimination/combination of the book study at the kingdom halls instead of at homes, the introduction of new rule books (keep yourself in god's love) and the new elder manual that a "tightening of the reigns" was beginning.

and so, just as the members of jwd and the internet have written, so it shall be done by the governing body overlords.

The wife and I have been "stricken" from the list. I can confirm what Cattails said. It was strange to see it. Nice way to inform the congregation, without an announcement..

Contradictions, should we really care?

by garyneal in

i'm not sure if the title is appropriate but i figured i'd point out some contradictions i see in jehovah's witnesses like my wife and i often ask myself why should i care when obviously she does not?

the motivation to 'fit in' with the people who you believe 'have the truth' is a strong one and facts are rendered powerless since in the end i get asked, "so what do you have that is better?

" but like morpheous on the movie, the matrix, all i have to offer is the truth.. .

I can go to ANY encyclopedia to disprove Christ's birth occurring on December 25, yet those same encyclopedias cannot be trusted to disprove that Jerusalem's destruction occurring in 607 B.C.E.. After all, the Watchtower readily changes their teachings when they discover 'new truths' so why after all these years would the society hold steady to 1914 C.E.?

Really like this one.

Why not at least lock Satan up until the court case happens?

by life is to short in

i was cleaning the house yesterday and my husband had an awake out.

i just flipped through it for a second and one article struck me.

it was the example of why god is allowing suffering and it being a court case.

Don't forget, the most important thing to Jehovah, above all else....more than animals, more than mankind, more than the angels, more than the universe, more than his only begotten son.....is his reputation.
