  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  i give it 3 thumbs down.. the video starts with an ambulance in peru.

  the ambulance people look at an id and a no blood card in spanish.. quick flash away to now and a happy family of a couple with 2 young boys.

  all good kids it collages their everyday life, all centered around theocratic activities.

  'Forgive me Jehovah..............after watching your new video I have discovered that I have been in the wrong religion all along! What prevents me from getting baptized into the "name of the Father and the Son and your Spirit Directed Organization as represented by your "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class"?

  the jehovah's witnesses put 69 adams st. in dumbo up for saleby lore croghanbrooklyn daily eagletennis, anyone?.

  the jehovah's witnesses have just put onto the sale market a development site in the heart of dumbo, 69 adams st.the building that now occupies the site has a four-story recreational facility and an 84-space parking garage.

  its rooftop is graced with an open-air tennis court — which is topped by a fence so cars and pedestrians down below don't accidentally get pelted with over-exuberantly hit balls.the watchtower recently posted the sale offering online without alerting reporters.according to the posting, 69 adams st. is “a 157,410-square-foot development opportunity adjacent to the iconic manhattan bridge.” the jehovah's witnesses did not offer any comment about their sale offering to the brooklyn eagle when asked about it.

  I apologize.........I misunderstood the OP............. When you said something about 'DUMBO UP FOR SALE', I thought that Mark Sanderson was being auctioned off for 'Watchtower Charity' or some such thing. Sorry.

  The smug arrogance of "having the truth".

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  has anyone noticed that witnesses (from the top down) seem to have a quiet form of smug arrogance toward all non witnesses?.

  perhaps it comes from being told how "special and unique" they are but they end up looking down on all normal members of the community because they are not witnesses.. so any form of "love" they show those in the territory is also limited as long as they accept the message...otherwise they are viewed contemptuously as "worldly" and therefore of little value...after all,they will be destroyed right?.

  To be fair and balanced, Jehovah's Witnesses have not 'cornered the market' on smugness and arrogance. It seems to me that any fundamentalist religion that feels they have the 'truth' appears to breed these qualities in their adherents. I work in a store in a small town and have contact with all sorts of people. I deal with some Mennonites and strict fundamentalist Baptists that are just as smug, self righteous, arrogant, 'holy', judgmental and stand offish as any Jehovah's Witness that I have ever met. Maybe it is part of the 'human condition' to feel superior to others when you feel that you have been blessed with the 'TRUTH'?
