  "in a similar way, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were a number of wrong expectations among true christians regarding the last days.

  (2 tim.

  3:1) for instance, in the year 1914, some thought that their being taken to heaven was imminent.

  It's all part of God's plan to fool you so that he can get rid of people that actually believe what he says...

  Sounds like entrapment.

  when people say "armageddon may come, but not in my lifetime", that is a "satanic inspired error".. how do you overcome it?.

  why, looking a it that way, adam's rebellion was less than a week ago!

  jesus was here on earth just the day before yesterday!

  black lace panties,

  This is what they are really concerned about.

  OK, if you substitute "GB" for every reference to 'animals' or 'pets' in blondie's post above - you get things in perspective.

  i.e.,

  Individuals become so emotionally wrapped up with pets that the animals govern human lives.

  for some persons a pet becomes even more important than marital attachments.

  a person might gradually allow animals to occupy an increasingly important place in his life and affections.

  The antidote to the myth that JWs are declining

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.

  unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.

  jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.

  Random thoughts on this interesting topic:

  It would be helpful in this discussion to establish some criteria that remains consistent, such as a definition of "decline." By my definition they are in decline - we won't see a complete implosion, but I think we are beginning to see a "hollowing out" - most of those in are going through the motions, the 'fire in the belly' isn't even embers anymore.

  There is a wide variance on the continuum between "modest growth" and "last one out the door, turn the lights out."

  I doubt that we will see in our lifetime a scenario where the GB says, in effect, "The jig is up! We've been stringing y'all along all this time."

  When they abandoned 1914, they lost the lynchpin that ignited a sense of urgency. Without urgency, people become lackadaisical, dull and easily distracted.

  Once a JW reaches a certain age - say 60/70 - they have more reason to stay in than to leave, even if they suspect TTATT.

  Can we trust their numbers? They've changed their definitions of "pioneer," "publisher," "generation," etc., perhaps they've changed the definition of who they count as a JW.

  I once calculated that, of my large JW extended 3rd and 4th generation born-in family, at least 60% had left the organization.

  Beware of 'unintended consequences.' Just one example - there are thousands of rebel groups and they are largely untrained and incompetent. There are concerns that if the USA sent more sophisticated weapons they could fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.

  Fortunately we have a president who thinks 10 steps ahead, rather than just going in to 'bomb, bomb, bomb' everything in sight.

  My JW best friend is bringing a 'heavy' around to my house to talk some sense into me.

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i agreed, if only because i want to see my friend of many years.

  the 'heavy' is a large, imposing man with a booming voice and is a creature of the gb through and thru (eg only visited his dfd dad on his death bed because it was a 'good witness' to the hospital staff) and i'm feeling stressed about seeing him.

  i so badly wanted to see my friend though, i agreed without thinking and now wish i hadn't have.

  Julie, I think you did quite well under the circumstances. You were ganged up on and had no chance.

  PS> For those who don't speak Australian:

  And my husband sat there like a stunned mullet the whole time.

  Stunned mullet

  Meaning: surprised, bewildered, uncomprehending. You're said to look like a stunned mullet
  when you have no idea what's going on or what they're talking about.
  Example: When she said no, he looked like a stunned mullet.

  a number of years back i heard a story of a young girl in a congregation ( i have some good friends in this hall ) who had an amazing field service experience.

  it was so amazing that it was retold in the 2007 yearbook!.

  it is retold in the highlight of the past year section.

  Anyone who believes that story deserves to be lied to.
