I was told by my young jw nephew that the society never said that the generation that saw 1914 will not pass away. Then I looked at him and said dude you weren't born yet and that was most certainly the Teaching and to go home and ask his parents. he never brang it up again.

Another generation....
by joey jojo init 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.

Why all the hate? Sorry dude you mean why do jehovah's witnesses have such hatred for ex members? if they didn't hate us so much by taking our families away from us, call us liars and mentally diseased, then we wouldn't have anything to complain about. Most of us would still think of the cult as a whacky religion and just let it be.
But since this cult is evil to the core and goes against basic human rights, it's not going to get rave reviews, is it?
Give me my freedom and My family and stop name calling me ( mentally diseased) then I'll shut up.

You say you are not becoming a jw for her yet you disagree with many watchtower teachings? You do realise that once baptised you can not disagree with any of their teachings with out facing harsh consequences. Do you really want to live a life that is run like a totalitarian state? You will be dictated on all aspects of life including marital sexual positions. Why are you really Contemplating joining a cult that destroys families, mandates shunning of anyone who leaves, encourages you to limit association with non believing family and friends? Your family are very right to be against you becoming a jehovah's witness. They fear loosing you. That fear is justified.
If you ever decide to leave the cult and she remains a jw, your relationship is doomed. Have you done extensive research?
I don't mean to offend you, but the majority of new recruits are usually those who are uneducated and from third world countries with limited internet access. I find it difficult to believe that in this modern age that anyone of intelligence and mentally stable would join them.
In saying that though many intelligent people do join cults and for the life of me I don't understand it!
Unless you are really joining because of her 😉 and that my friend is a recipe for disaster.
I hope you do extensive research outside watchtowers literature. This will help you understand that Watchtower has and continues to lie to its members yet expects total obedience even with their ever constant changing doctrines. You show a little of that disobedience and independent thinking now by not agreeing with them with everything, this will not be tolerated once baptised, do you really want to loose the freedom to think independently?

Steven Lett asks for money again
by Gorbatchov inthe 2016 january tv.jw.org broadcasting has a clear message: jw.org needs more money!.
the 2 months of donation increase is not enough: the thousands of projects are not a 2 month project.. so: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you (heh heh heh) and send us more!
personal conclusion: if i had any doubts that the society is sincere, this openly money grabbing has made my perception complete.

Just before My fade and when I was awake and knew about tatt, I purposely didn't donate. Since they wouldn't let me leave freely with out loosing my family I would purposely grab as many publications I could with out contributing 😉
I would imagine a few do the same thing.

Today is Christmas, and guess what? Witnesses's were going house to house on my block, TODAY ON CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
by Dunedain ini kid you not!!!!!
my family, and i, were on our way to my wife's brothers house today, which is the families christmas tradition.
we open presents in the morning, and at around 10:30, we head over to my brother in laws for breakfast/brunch, with all the family.. so, as we loaded some presents up in the car, and we all jumped, and drove away, at the end of my block, jehovahs witnesses!

Of course it's rude.
Even as a active witness I was vocal about witnessing on Christmas day is wrong.
Then you'd get the elitist jw saying well Christmas is pagan and we don't respect that holiday so to us it's just another day and if the householder gets upset he is upset with Jehovah.
Any jehovah's witness that goes door knocking on that day deserves a dose of "persecution ". I know how they really think of those celebrating Christmas. I just experienced a judgemental lashing from jw's on the worldlies celebrating pagan holidays on how they deserve no respect from us.
The ones knocking on your doors on Christmas day are there judging you.

I cried about my lost life in the name of Jehovah.
Then I got angry.
And now I am determined to get this cult the exposure it deserves 😉

Tell her that many jehovah's witnesses that are alive today who have had blood cancers and such are lying and have lied to their families and friends and have taken blood transfusions ;-)
Stemcells are allowed as a jehovah's witness but blood transfusions are a must when going through the mass chemo annihilation of her cancerous blood which needs to be done prior to stem cells being transplanted.

JWs have more good points than bad
by lsw1961 in1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

Apparently I knew as alittle girl what I signed up for when I got baptised which warrants me to be shunned by my entire family all because I found out watchtower has lied to me and I am held accountable for a decision I made as a minor.
Yeah so my fault....
