  "This Generation" at the meeting today

  it was really quite amusing 2day at the meeting when we got to the "this generation will not pass away" subheading in the wt.

  the conductor spent very little time on the section and the comments that were given didnt at all make sense really.

  you can tell its not understood by the majority of the friendsand will go over there heads, i was trying not to laugh lol.

  Now, now, Tik.

  Get to know him first.

  Stuck, you may want to point out that the National Geographic Channel is doing a special on the 10 plagues, Sunday, April 20.

  This show is strictly from an archaelogical standpoint, but seems to corroborate the Biblical account of the Exodus.

  You could point out how it's good to seek answers and explanations from other sources, and that we should use our God-given thinking abilities to try to figure out what really happened.

  For example, the narrative reports that the killer disease plague (#5) wiped out all the livestock of the Egyptians, but not those of the Israelites.

  Then, it's reported that the plague of hail (#7) killed every person and animal who had not taken shelter.

  Are these non-livestock animals that were killed by the hail? Are the plagues listed in chronological order?

  I would mention that it is not wrong to question; hopefully, this will set some minds to thinking.

  Blessings.

  Elderettes

  i lol whenever i run across this term because it aptly describes the elders' wives i've known.. bossy and domineering for the most part, they delighted in being the alpha females and watched jealously to see if any other female received undue attention from the body of elders.. i remember one who told me that my dress was too short, another said i was spoiling my daughter, and yet another wanted to know from where i was buying her clothes!.

  too much!.

  lol.. sylvia.

  Officious is exactly the word!

  Like the one who took it upon herself to tell me that she observed my daughter having an "intimate" conversation with a worldly boy.

  I swear that's the term she used.

  A randy roebuck, a grumpy gnu, and a dashing dall figured prominently in the little zoo's list of attractions.

  Never heard of dall until just now.

  Thanks, CoCo.

  What JW beliefs did you used to hate trying to defend?

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as one of the jw "young ones" i was always expected to witness to my friends at school if i wanted to make god's heart glad or whatever but i didn't.

  the closest i ever got was just explaining why we didn't celebrate christmasetc.

  even then i was just reciting things i read in publications.. one topic i always tried to avoid talking about was birthdays.
