The "generation" teaching - just to clarify!
by Beardo in

2. beliefs
sorry to be a major pain in the ass - but could those " in the know " clear something up for me?.

is the " generation " teaching that was redefined during 1995 still taught to " interested ones " or have the wtbts totally removed this generation idea from their new literature, which is used to indoctrinate a person leading up to baptism?.

any enlightenment welcome.

Who Pioneered?

my two sisters did the right thing, pioneering straight out of school, janitoring to pay for the petrol (one didn't even bother with her final year of school).

it was this kind of fine example that got me guilt-tripped into auxiliary pioneering just after getting baptised at age 20. i only lasted six months; i took a holiday in queensland and returned not knowing much more about life but at least that it's bigger than my little congregation.

i despised the field service, i dreaded the daily schedule and every morning i was on my way out there was this awful countdown from the alarm going off to the first door opening, knowing that it's just a big setup to another depressing humiliation.

NEW INK!!!

so, i went to my friendly neighborhood tattoo parlor today, and recieved my second and third (or 19th and 20th - depending on how you look at it) tattoo.

the chest is an extremely sensitive area, and so i was very aware that i was alive for the majority of the time.. oh, birds are often seen as a symbol of freedom, happiness, and arriving safely.

bones show regret, loss.. .

i haven't been to a meeting in a while, so i need a little update from an active witness....

...or at least an informed xjw.

i was listening to jr brown (http://www.wtmedia.org/jrbrown-interview-1.wma ) on the silentlambs website ( http://www.silentlambs.org/ ) and the reporter kept asking him to clarify the same issues over and over.
