in 1983 the witnesses came to my door and assured me, with publications, that "this generation who was there at 1914 "would not pass away" - indeed they pushed it, trying to scare me into witnoidism if nothing else.
at the time i do remember thinking, "oh well, it's the end of them when they get that egg on their face" .
but i didn't know about the "new light" lying recovery technique - maybe i wasn't "as wise a serpent", or rather "thinking like a snake".
Elsewhere,
"...they eagerly look forward to and try to anticipate New Light (TM)."
Why? Because they expect two things,
1. an announcement of when Armaggeddon will begin. (Every "special" talk or meeting is attended for this purpose)
2. something new has to make better sense than the crap they believe right now!

ok im not crazy.
but ive had dreams of getting into accidents in my truck 3 times(has happened 3 times).
something bad like theft happening to this girl at work at night time(happened recently, she lost 500 bucks).
I think that if you use one of your dreams in your upcoming number 4 talk you'll qualify as a prophet!
Crucify him, crucify him! We have no ruler but Little Caeser's!

"good news for all mankind".
"the bible - a book for all mankind".
all of these title make it sound as if the world in general will oneday experience these things and not to worry.. the fact of the matter is.....jehovah's witnesses don't believe this at all.
garybuss,
It is a war of euphemisms with JW's isn't it? Cleansed earth = worldwide slaughter.
"The message is world domination by a radical book printing and real estate development group who claim divine backing who are directed by God, are god's prophets, but are not inspired. "
Thanks for straining out all the doublespeak from the Watchtowerspeak they propagate. Couldn't put it better myself. Obviously you've been at this awhile.

i need your help on this one, big time!
i am new to this but i like reading everyone's posts on here.. i need advice.
sorry this is so long but if you feel like you could please read it!.
Littlehousefan,
This is really something you and your husband should talk about with each other. I think, and let me emphasize to you that this is only what I think, you were taking the higher ground in apologizing. It impresses me you are a caring person with a conscience. The thing that seems to bother you most is that you now see it as not upholding your husband's feelings.You two have each other and that is very secure from the sound of it. I'd stick with that and make each other happy. Remember the bit about "Pearls before Swine?" That seems to fit here. Keep your pearls.
