The 1914 Doctrine and The Threat of the Egibi Business Tablets
by VM44 incould the watchtower and the jehovah's witnesses survive the discarding of their 1914 doctrine?
the doctrine that in 1914 the end of the gentile times took place, jesus took up rule in heaven.
for some reason the jws think the outbreak of world war i in 1914 is proof their prophetic calculations were correct.

But conceptually, where does this whole "being well spiritually fed" idea come from? From the beattitudes about those "hungry for the spirit", or those "begging the spirit"?
Perhaps they didn't read the second part.. "they will be filled". Aparently, JWs are never "full".. maybe thats a bad thing :)

Canadians - This Hour has 22 Minutes - Going to see show being shot tonight
by kwintestal inreally, this tv show isn't shown much outside of canada, but is there anyone here that watches it?
tomorrow is mrs kwin (heart2heart)'s birthday, so we're going out tonight.
i was able to get tickets for the filming of this tv show, so we're going to watch it then get supper and then go to a bar and listen to a band or something like that.. i've watched the show for many years, it's not as good as when rick mercer was on it, but it's still good.

Do you think that JW's leaders are going to announce a new date in 2006?
by booker-t ini was reading a thread here the other and it mentioned that the assembly for 2006 will be "delivance at hand".
is this going to be like 1974 when every jw's thought the end was going to come in 1975?
i don't think jw's leaders would be that stupid again and build jw's for another date-setting letdown.

My list is in the 60's, hippies conquered, then the 70's was disillusionment, the 80's was american capitalists and i think kurt cobain singlehandedly conquered the 90's. that was a very exciting decade.

Did you ever go out in Field Service on Thanksgiving or Christmas morning
by pratt1 in.
i never had a problem with going door to door except for the holidays.. one, i felt like we were intruding on our neighbors who set aside time be with their loved ones.. two, it just made me feel more different and jealous that i was not celebrating the holidays with my family.. any thoughts?

I remember once I had to go to the hall to do some mag sorting on Christmas day. There were a bunch doing phone work downstairs and I went to say hello.
I was just in "plain clothes" but they convinced me to participate, so I did (2 pioneer elders + 1 pioneer elder wife)
Well, we get this really angry family, and the pioneer wife terminates the call. Lo and behold, they call back, and they GAVE IT TO ME! AGG!
So eventually I passed it over to one of the elders, and they kept goign on about Jesus being our leader in response to "Who is your manager? I want to talk to your supervisor!". But the angry family honestly thought we were selling some videos I think.
I would never do it again... my dad goes out every Christmas. He must enjoy the angry people.

Yeah, I haven't heard THAT one before.... quite odd
What got me was, "Some people read newspapers every day - such a person could poison himslef spiritually. We need to make time for spiritual feeding". Just keeping ignorant of everyday events except through the poop coloured glasses of "Watching the World".

"Knowledge" studies - still in use?
by Trinitarian in.
can anyone confirm that the knowledge studies are still in use, and haven't had any recent major revisions (last couple of years).. i've written some analysis of these studies and wanted to make sure the source, knowedge that leads to everlasting life, is current.. .
thanks!

I think its entirely likely that this new book will replace the Knowledge book itself as the primary bible study aid. Someone review the first few chapters (from a catholic perspective)
Jehovah's Witnesses--Do They Teach What the Bible Really Teaches?
I'm sure JW's will get more detail about this sort of thing in the KW soon enough mind.
