i was an elder in the 1970's and i was not a big fan of the "stay alive until 75" dogma.
i was looked down upon by the heavy hitters on the body of elders and in time i changed my mind.
i knew of the failed prophecy of 1914 being the end of all times which was repeated for the year 1925...yet i came to believe well maybe this time they've got it right.. with every new watchtower, i combed over every word to find support for my change in my belief that the end was coming in fall of 1975. at the district assembly in 1975, everyone clung onto every word in the final talk.
I was nine years old, and I was at Sheyboygan. I thought it was hogwash, but the air was electric with excitement and oohs and ahs. It really impacted my life, and now my retirement savings. No college, which affected my future earnings and quality of life. Where was Mr. Sunutko when 1975 came and went, and all his hot air was just that? I'd like a piece of him for getting my parents all stirred up and refusing my scholarship!
Anyone else attend this one?

Elderly couple living in an old Airstream, my parents studied with them when I was a child. I was told to keep my feet up off the floor because they had rats. Sometimes the lady offered to make us tea, omg. This was in northwest Indiana, by the cornfields.
wow, this is awesome.
this really shows the jw passiveness towards child sex abusers.
there needs to be more of this exposing this!.
Sleazy smirk and the eyebrow up. Nasty ol' thing.

I just moved from Colorado Springs in June. 80919 is the Rockrimmon area on the northwest end of town, so I didn't recognize the car group. I read kktv news online every evening and will watch for the story! I also posted a link to the video on my Facebook, so my buddies in the Springs will see and hopefully share it.

Freddo, it won't let me remove my accidental red arrow, sorry. You are absolutely right!

Has anyone posted it on Facebook yet? 😁
her: "i'm really going enjoy talking to young billy about his masturbation problem".
him: "yes, we don't him to turn out out gay, we want him to have a happy marriage filled with hours and hours of reading propaganda together.
even the stuff that is in no way applicable to our lives.
They must not have realized how see-thru the couple's clothing is! Look at ...
We must find out which congregation they're in so we can offer them spiritual guidance asap.
so, i guess an upcoming wt has some new light on clapping!
evidently, jesus has misinformed the gb/wtbts since the late 90's.
clapping was disrespectful, because jesus felt that those who were df'd should not be given a pat on the back.
Outlaw, his hair is too long. Are we not grateful that his loving kindness has shown the brothers not to wear their hair like that? How happified all such ones will be when they conform to the Gibbering Buddies standards of hair as revealed to them by God.
seeing as im being shunned by my family and friends.
i've decided to turn the tables and shun them back - but using the same methodology and reasoning they use on me.
i've written the following letter:.
I'm just curious if the org really wants the elderly ones shunning their faded children. Who will the work fall onto in shuttling them to medical appointments, care of the home, final housing? They'd better think this through!
the brother giving the saturday"inactive ones helping them to return".. he said, this year the society has been making an effort to contact all inactive ones.. and also... the elders visit all the inactive ones at least once a year .
bs!
totally bs!.
When I went to a few meetings this past winter, two elders told me, "Call us if you need anything." Neither gave me their phone number! They seemed shallow and insincere.
Sister Pushy and and Sister Biddy knew what apartment complex I was living in, but not which building. Still, they had my cell number. No one has called me to get my address and see why I stopped coming to meetings. The elders could've asked Sister Pushy for my number to follow up, but haven't. Not that I'm complaining! 😁
