Time is their enemy
by LDH in

2. friends
tick, tick, tick.. the governing body is dying one by one, faster now.. young people who thought they would never see themselves getting old now take meds for cholesterol, alzheimers, diabetes, blood pressure.. the end isn't here.. tick, tick, tick.. kids who walked away from the wt after being warned that they would die like a dog in the streets instead are very successful young people with real jobs, families, and assets.. empty threats stop having an effect.

apathy sets in.

automatons attend the meetings.

on the silent lambs site there is a taped call with a media person and jr. brown.

he stated that jw's don't proclaim or feel that they have special chosen ones to lead nor do they feel as though they are the sole organization to get to god.

what crap!

SO, What happened to : "the generation will not pass away" idea ???????
by The_Replacement in
1. watchtower
2. bible
okay, 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 ??

who do the sons and daughter-in-laws represent (did they have children before the flood)?.

what does the ark represent?.

(2 peter 2:5) the true god gave righteous noah explicit instructions on how to build an ark for the preservation of life through a global flood.

Book study and not Bible study and trinity question
by Sacchiel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
one of the things we are studying is how the bible is god's inspired and faithful word.

a paragraph mentioned how we should really study the bible with the aid of their book if we really appreciate the ransom.

at least nobody responded with such words, but instead we should study the bible.. i've got a question, in regards to the passage "but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, neither the son, but the father only".

"He that is not against us is for us."
by Confession in
1. watchtower
2. bible
reading this scripture was important to my original willingness a couple of years ago to reconsider my religion.... john said to him: teacher, we saw a certain man expelling demons by the use of your name and we tried to prevent him, because he was not accompanying us.

39 but jesus said: do not try to prevent him, for there is no one that will do a powerful work on the basis of my name that will quickly be able to revile me; 40 for he that is not against us is for us.

[mark 9:38 40, nwt].

I'm going to get out
by Sacchiel in
1. watchtower
2. bible
hey everyone, i've been examining my faith and found it doesn't stand up to biblical theology.

its going to be hard since a lot family and friends will very likely repudiate me.

i have taken some steps to introduce topics to my family that will get them to analyze the wt teachings.
