  " you will never grow old..."

  " you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.

  i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.

  i heard it many times after that.

  My mom is eighty one now. She's had some small strokes. She recently said, "I'll probably just have a big one some night and die in my sleep." She sounded bitter. Dad is gone, Grandparents all gone, aunt and uncle gone, most of her friends gone, but she still goes to meetings and tries to drag me back.

  I retired at 56 from that career I'd never have, because the end was coming in 1975. That meant I couldn't go to college either, even tho my non JW grandfather offered to pay for it. Now, on Facebook I see a high school buddy is about to retire from her law practice. That's what I wanted to do, become an attorney. But no, the end was SO close.

  Mom just told me, the way things are going in the world, it can't be long now. Then my dad will be resurrected! Um, yeah. I don't have it in me to crush her only hope that keeps her going, nor can I encourage it.

  Contempt of court, case in San Diego county really disgusts me!

  by Crazyguy in

  this case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.

  this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!

  this case shows thier evil plain and simple.

  Study article: "Go, and Make Disciples.." is a hot mess

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").

  the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.

  the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".

  Perry, I'm so sorry about the accidental red arrow. I loved the clear logic in your post.

  Their hypocrisy stinks to the heavens!

  What Cofty said. When these standards are applied to future cases, and to appeals of previous cases, a pattern will emerge of negligence, and of just not giving a rat's fanny. That will be enormously expensive. 😁

  The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.

  as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.

  now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

  My mother was and is still a die-hard. She texted me just today to watch the June video because I will love it. Something about animals being petted. Then she added that the end is coming soon and it won't be long till my father's resurrected.

  Guess I was a wet blanket, because I reminded her that only the Father knows the hour. We don't know if it's coming soon or not. I can't believe an intelligent woman can still be strung along like this, but she's elderly and either doesn't want to know something's rotten, or she switched off her reasoning brain long ago. How does she not say, "Hey, WTH?"

  I was sixteen in 1975, and remember the urgent talks and my Kingdumb Haul peers being pulled out of high school because who needed education? Most of them left, just like I did. Most of us got some education and good jobs, and now our elderly parents are struggling and need financial help from us. Yet, they still go to meetings and rave about the encouraging videos. I'm baffled.

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

  He is smirking because that marvelous mega church, oopsy, complex, was built by volunteer labor. Won't that sell for top dollar one fine day!
