Generation change in study article
by LadyCCC ini just finished reading the "journal" and it mentioned that they have said in the past that the generation meant the unbelieving jews, and then in modern day times generation meant world of unbelievers, now am i wrong to assume that what is mentioned in paragraph 15 of the last study article in the feb. 15th watchtower is that the annointed are the "generation"?
is this now new light?
are we to assume that this is still the truth despite the changes, i mean what if they are and our faith is being tested?

Having a bit of difficulty here...
by wanderlustguy ini haven't posted much in a while because i've been in deep thought about some recent events and trying to sort them all out.
i think you guys all know me well enough to know if i'm just freakin nuts or not...so assuming you all think i am sane...does this sound crazy to anyone else?.
when i got here, people kept telling me that if you come here, walk here, and are supposed to be living here, you will do so within a month of touching the ground.

You're blessed.
Pssst, you should have linked that to your thread like others (ummm, me) around here have shamelessly done.

When something good happens to me I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Usually in vain. Glad it's working out for you. Enjoy it.

This is the behaviour that I'm breaking free from. That poem from Tall Penguin about walking into the same hole and wondering how you got there really helped me to see how I keep making the same mistakes.
But we can all break free from this irrational fear of success.

How the Watchtower Society feels about examination of beliefs.
by Lady Liberty ini found these quotes from shauns research to be quite interesting since most if not all who do just as they suggest in their publications become labeled apostates lacking faith in god.. sincerely,.

On the Road and Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac.
Agreed! Great reading, both of them. Depending on my mood, I sometimes answer that On the Road is my favorite book of all time. Just some of the time though.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, it seems like things are going your way. That's good.
Now, don't do what I have done in the past when things start going my way. Don't get some fool idea in your head that you have to go to some stupid kingdom hall and say thank you to the great , eternal vaccum cleaner, jeHoover. Just be thankful that things are going good for you and pass some of it on to someone you come in contact with -- anonymously if possible.

Hambeak: In about 2 months you will have a lot of company from others on this board. I wouldn't be surprised if Simon shuts this board down himself. So get a head start. Go back to the meetings. Put your life style on hold.
I can't foretell the future, yet I have more than an inkling that Saturday is going to follow Friday and Sunday's going to follow that. In that same vein, I won't ever set foot, willingly, into a kingdom hall again.

I just finished up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I loved it thoroughly and recommend it to everyone. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to read next. Please stop by this thread and help me choose a book from my list.
