  Is the GB setting up to dump 1914?

  by karter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the "generation change" and them changing it all the time it would make sence to dump it all togeather.. lets face it ,it can be disproved easly.. they dumped 1975 in a heart beat .. this would buy them all the time they wanted as they would just find another date to start the generation from ie: "the u.n year of peace and sercurty'',1986 i belive or whatever else they could think of.. they could sell it to the r&f as easly as they sold 1975,then dumped it when it did'nt happen .. anyone questioning them would be told they are running ahead of jehovah or lacking faith in his earthly org that feeds us food at the proper time .. what do you think?.

  The society won't have to do away with 1914, it is being done for them by truth seekers.

  someone talk me out of going to jail.. i just found out an ms called my sister and verbally abused her.

  told her she was 'unspiritual and inactive and he doesn't have to listen to her'.......he then continued with what a 'crappy mother she is' etc.. i'm in a blind rage.

  If this idiot or any like him would have to explain this to the police he would turn into jelly. Most of the

  time the police can end this type of behavior with just one visit. Then if he continues this behavior

  he will live to regret it.

  Close Encounters of the JW Kind...

  this morning (like many other mornings) i went to the local 'stop-n-shop' to get my wife a pint - of milk.

  she likes to drink a bit of milk during the day.. anyway, on my way back to the vehicle - as i got in and was reaching for the key to start it up... an elderly lady (well... probably about my age - sheesh!

  ) with grey hair, approached my car with a handfull of magazines - and said something along the lines of.... 'pardon me sir,...'.

  I have found that you can't discuss religion with jws for very long. The best for me anyway is just

  to make a few short points and leave it that. I have been doing so for about a year now. You have

  to stop before they get into that posessed like state and go crazy on you. I tried this with my

  wife a couple of weeks ago. I asked if she could explain the new generation thing and she did

  so quite well and then said that it could go on forever. I then said that the generation thing doesn't

  mean much anymore. That was the end of the conversation. She came to the conclusion on her own.

  Another time was with my jw friend. I like to bring up the great pyramid because it has been an

  interest of mine for years. After awhile talking about the unusual facts about it, I bring up

  about russell being somewhat of an expert on it. The look on his face was priceless.

  WT March 15, 2010 - Page 27

  by St George of England in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this article to be studied in two weeks time, in paragraph 13, footnote says: "jesus is the mediator of that covenant, not a participant.

  as the mediator, he evidently did not partake of the emblems.".

  (note use of evidently again!).

  According to this crap the annointed should not partake either because the society says they

  together with jesus make up the 'christ'. According to this only the great crowd should partake.

  The society just doesm't know when to shup up. The idiots writing this stuff are just making

  it up as they go. I started reading the old literature a few years ago and it is the same old

  thing. They just write stuff for something to print.

  I will give them credit for one thing , they are coming up with something new.

  generation teaching reconsidered

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  was thinking about this new generation teaching, and to some extend it makes sense, let me explain.. first of all, i personally believe, it only applied to jesus time, it only made sense there, and when jesus talked about it, in the year 33, this generation certainly observed the events leading to jerusalems destruction 70 ce.

  ( even though the context does not really give much hint, since he talks about the sign of the son of man being seen in heaven etc, something that did not happen in the first century).

  the main question is, what is a generation ?.

  logic

  One generation overlapping another generation would be reduntant. Using their logic would make the

  word generation (singular) meaningless. Jesus did not say generations. It would be the same

  as saying that each individual race of people for thousands of years would be one generation . There

  is no word definition for that, unless you use the societies dictionary.

  If the jws buy into this then the society knows that they can tell them anything.

  Even trying to dispell this crap is confusing.

  The next to last assembly I went to was the cow palace in s.f. It was hotter than the proverbial hell, which is

  unusual in s.f. It was one of the most miserable times I have had. The smell of cow piss would knock

  you down , it was sickening. I told my wife if I was going to have to smell it then I at least wanted

  to see a rodeo. I very seldom attended conventions , I hated them so bad. Finally I told my wife

  she and I would both be happier if she just went with her mom or someone, and I was right , haven't been to one in many, many years.

  A long time ago people would ask me why I didn't go and I would just tell them the truth. Never been asked

  again and that was a long time ago.

  You think they would finally give up on this. It just gets worse and worse. I asked my die hard wife

  if she has any idea what the new light is. She did repeat it to me as they say, but added that it

  left it open ended. And I said , so that means that the generation thing doesn't mean anything

  any more? and I left it that.

  I think that was the whole idea. Make the generation thing meaningless. They will probably just stop now

  and not bring it up again.

  I really believe my wife is starting to see the real light. I just don't argue anymore. I just bring up things

  once in while, and let her think on it, that way she doesm't go off like a crrazy person.

  Sister in my Congregation claims Jehovah always answers her prayers....including her new skirt and shoes for $20 bucks???

  by Witness 007 in

  2. experiences

  to show you how dumb and shallow my congregation is a one of our "deeper" sisters claimed in field services that "jehovah answers all my prayers...like last week i wanted a new skirt and shoes for field service but only had $20 dollars....and would you believe i found them!!!

  now i for one though well, why didn't you pray or the oil pipe in the mexican gulf to dry up...or food for the poor in haiti.

  other pioneers tell of vegetables falling off trucks just when they had nothing for dinner???

  I have found throughout the years that the society has an abnormal amount of people with weird

  ideas. They seem to take what the society says (which is 98 percent bull) and mix it up

  with thier own dilusional ideas. When you are out you get an entirely different view of the people who

  are in . To me it has always seemed impossible to reason with jws and not just the bible. The problem

  seems to me to be that they do not research things out. They do not seem to apply any logic to anything.

  The whole religion has contradictory ideas. God takes care of them yet they say time and chance

  befalls them all.

  My favorite story is the sister that was in our congregation whose small son fell out of a second

  story window and had no ill effects at all. She felt an angel protected him. Would that not be a miracle?

  Yet they say there are no miracles today.

  I have personaly witnessed this kind of behavior many many times over the years and always just shook my head

  in disbelief.
