' previously, this journal has explained that in the first century, "this generation" mentioned at matthew 24:34 meant "the contemporaneous generation of unbelieving jews.

not the whole magazine, but this is the new light article.. .

After reading the article it points out a very good point... As recorded at Matthew 24:32,33 Jesus said: "Now learn from the fig tree as an illustraion this point; Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and puts forth leaves you now that summer is near. Likewise you , when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors." I just realized something about my figtree.

Okay, so my figtree is queer.. its young branch is growing tender and putting forth leaves, but summer is not near ...that must only mean one thing .

Just kidding, no fig tree in my yard.

What a joke that article is. I can see those who are trapped into that will totally miss that 'new light" going on. People are actually going to belive.

So how does that work, they pass the articles out before and then on the day of the magazine they actually go through it at the church? Someone will have to share with us how that goes.

My JW friend asked me to 'tag along' with another friend of mine while he went on a date. I always thought, don't you want some private time together? "

My friend was never one to do anything bad or wrong, but he said since the society required it he had to. What abunch of BS. Not everyone is bad in that way. I felt awkward having to be a babysister, atleast that is what I felt like. The moment I walked in another direction to give him and his date room he asked me to come back.

I swear they better not ask me to be in the same room with them when they really start to know eachother. lol

Virgin Birth

by bite me in

how/what does the wts teach about the birth of jesus?

do they deny or not teach the virgin birth?

ignor it?

bite me

Not questioning it, I believe in it. I read somewhere where they did not believe in it to the extent that it is applied in the Bible.

Let me get back to you. I'll let you know if I find what I found before.
