Does the average JW feel the "end is near"?

my hubby recently had a discussion with his older brother.

my brother in law told him he wants to reach out to become a ms. he's going to cut down on his work schedule, go out in service more, spend more time with his son etc.

he's in his mid forties, has always been regular at meetings and fs, but never aspired to reach out before.

I don't know about all the other active JW's, but my parents made a strange comment to me when my husband and I sent them a nice gift: "Oh, you shouldn't spend do much on us! You need to be putting your extra money away for your retirement!" Retirement? I was told I wouldn't finish high school! WTF?? So, I guess Armagettkilled is a ways off...

lafayette!

it's not exactly a metropolitan hub of excitement, but it is a quaint place.

we bought a house in a little subdivision with one street in/out.

That was very nicely done, Bryan! Thank you for showing us! Nice house and spacious yard! Wishing your family much happiness there.

What will be the next big 'new light'?

by yaddayadda in

it's been a while since the watchtower overlords made any serious doctrinal changes.

wts 'new light' seems to be somewhat cyclical, around every ten years or so.

it's been just over 10 years since the 1995 'this generation' change.

the "freeloader" pioneer sister who lives with us asked me this morning if she could "look" up something real quick on my laptop.

i was not prepared for this and quickly told her the system was down and i would let her use it later.

how do i get rid of all the recent sites box that you can scroll down to.

How does the old ~~bat~~ sister know how to use the computer, anyways? Aren't they supposed to stay off those portals of Satan?

Just curious, How many Awakes do you read to get a college level education?

by PaNiCAtTaCk in

maybe pmj or another active witnesses can explain?

or do they still teach this?

Virgogirl

"These journals help you to keep up with world events...." Well, so do Time Magazine and Newsweek, but I have a newsflash for "Awake" Magazine: You have been replaced by the (gasp) internet! Yes, nobody needs to wait a month for your new issue to find out what's going on in the world, we can log on to Yahoo or any home page and have it all at our fingertips, minutes after it happens, complete with photos! So, this artificially created need to read your latest "Awake" is a thing of the past. Oh, and did I mention... no need to spend years getting that college education by reading fluffy magazines. Now we attend college online and can get a real degree in a short time!

Wow, did it feel good.......................

by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

.................to be standing on the other side of the door on a saturday morning.. it happened today.

i had gone to the markets early and when i got home i wandered across the road to my neighbour's house to have my hair coloured.

she's a frustrated hairdresser and a friend.. as usual we chatted as she prepares the colour.

Virgogirl

Brother Pomp-ass:" Did ya see her, fellowshipping in the home of a worldling woman?"

Sister Pomp-ass:" Yes, placing importance on outward appearance rather than placing magazines! ......How'd you like her hair?"

Brother Pomp-ass:" She looked HOT! WHy don't you do something like that too?"

Sister Pomp-ass:" Well, if you think it would be pleasing to Jehoopla, I'll ask the elders if I can!"

Visiting the Biltmore House in Asheville NC

by SWALKER in

just thought i'd put up the link for this beautiful place that i am visiting today:.

http://www.biltmore.com/.

it's been a while since i've been...i used to take out of town visitors there quite often!

Virgogirl

I have family in Asheville. I visited them many years ago and they had a view of the Mansion from their house. I think Asheville is one of the most beautiful cities in the US, and Biltmore is an awesome place. Of course, now that the relatives are ignoring me, I guess I wouldn't have much reason to go back, unless it's to check out all those emerald and gem mines nearby that I saw on the travel channel!
