How would you answer ???
by The_Replacement ineven if my religion is wrong (and i know it is not), it has saved me from a life of drugs and hopelessness, i was going no-where, i had no life, i lived with depression, i had no goals, just drifted through life and hated life and myself, since finding jesus my life has changed and i am a good, honest, caring person, i am now the best father i have ever been, i was never there for my kids before.
i have a great job and provide for my family, how can you say to me, that religion is wrong ?.
this is a person i met and had a discussion with, he is not a jw, but i wonder is a religious belief even if it is wrong, better for someone who cannot face the world.

What is your favorite JW year ? 1879 - 2006
by The_Replacement inthe oddest one for me is 1935, where do they get this idea that heavens doors were closed ???.
makes no sense at all.. where did jesus say in the bible that in 1935 heavens doors would be closed.. with the governing body all dying off, soon the whole governing body will be replacements !

Another Christ's Invisible Presence Question ? (1930 -1942)
by The_Replacement inokay, we all know christ's invisible presence began in 1874, then changed to 1914 (in 1943).
now, the last mention of christ's invisible presence being 1874, seems to be 1929/1930 , prophecy book, our lord's return booklet.. my question is .......... is christ's invisible presence mentioned in any publication from 1930 - 1942, or did it completely drop out of sight during this time frame ???????
until it was re-introduced in the truth shall set you free book in 1943.. .

SO, What happened to : "the generation will not pass away" idea ???????
by The_Replacement inokay, growing up a jw in the 70's 80's and early 90's, all we heard about was how the generation of 1914 will not pass away,(much like witnesses in the 60's and early 70's all heard about 1975) (what a great parallel) conventions, watchtower articles, public talks, endless studies and of course every issue of the awake magazine had it on the inside cover, it was everywhere, brothers, sisters and elders were absolutely sure about this, the society constantly mentioned it in our kingdom ministry (service), it was everywhere.
then with the change in november 1995, it just kinda disappeared and became unimportant.. does the society even mention "this generation will not pass away" anymore ?????.
seems to me, that the past 10 years, it has hardly been mentioned anywhere anymore.. what do you think ??

Can someone of the 144,000 get kicked out after entering heaven ???
by The_Replacement inso, if someone is of the 144,000, dies, and supposedly goes to heaven, is it still possible for them to be misled, or kicked out, thus needing another replacement.
if the answer is yes, i guess the 144,000 will never be completed, in fact eventually they will have 144,000 replacements, then 144,000 replacements replacing the replacements, doh !

During the assembly did you ever notice ... ???
by The_Replacement ingrowing up as a kid in the 70's (and early 80's), did you ever notice at the assembly that there was always someone who had a tape recorder on stage and was taping the whole assembly.
are these tapes around today, generally i would love to hear some talks that were given before 1975 and see how many brothers said something big was going to happen, because we all know the watchtower never said that !!!
(yeah right).. any websites that might have a few of these or other interesting topics ???.
