i was born in 1984 so was only 9yo in 1995. i read on various posts on here and on other websites about false expectations about 1975 and 1995. i'm aware of the 1975 failure but what was said in 1995?.
I remember reading that article and going WTF? I went and spoke to jw friends who were elders etc. Their response, "What change?" It hit me like a hammer that most jws don't even know their basic doctrines. As noted above by other posters most appear to be asleep with their eyes open at the meetings.
I can thank this article for stimulating me to research the jw CD on "generation". I never set foot in a "kingdom hall" again.
i have a very xjw type problem, i am invited to my cousin's 70th birthday party, and really don't know what to buy him.. i only met him a couple of months ago, as my jw parents never encouraged the non-jw side of the family, so i don't know much about him, except that he is retired and his hobby is sailing his boat.. i don't have contact details for his kids etc to ask them for ideas, so could you come up with something please ?
not too extravagant, i am a poor pensioner !
but, it is his 70th.. thanks in advance for any tips !.
A bottle of quality bourbon and a shot glass. Well done him making 70 and inviting you to celebrate.
i would pick this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th2w6oxx0kq.
i don't know how so many are happy or fine if thinking this life is it.
haven't lost parents yet, but when with them, sometimes i'll think of this song.

authorities ignored gold coast photographer's child sex crimes .
Oh dear
I knew Eddie Sawden very very well at that time. We became involved with the Jehovah's Witnesses at the same time but slightly different congregations and we had surfing in common. He was an extreme character with strict dietary rules and was very outspoken about food etc.
I assume I know the victim but will not give any details. This is a good example of how poorly the JWs handle sexual abuse and the pain has continued for the victim for 40 yrs
now that she has announced that she is 20 weeks pregnant and not married, what is her status in the cult?
.
"Serena was pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open and thanked jehovah for the winning shot."
Oh I could make so many jokes with this line......
the world's oldest person has died in italy at the age of 117, reports say.. emma morano was born on 29 november 1899 in the piedmont region of italy.
she was officially the last person born in the 1800s still living.. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39610937.

alone, without my safety net of "god" being there to remember me when i die.
after much consideration, examining science, history and using logic, i have come to the conclusion that there is no "god" at least certainly no loving, personal "god.
" shortly before my final conclusion was reached, i read an excerpt from an expression attributed to marcus aurelius, .
Occam's razor:
The principle can be interpreted as stating Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected (Wkda).
which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.
My father very rarely spoke of his youth but once he mentioned that he could vaguely remember being a very young child riding in a stage coach!!
