TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again
by Designer Stubble in
1. watchtower
2. bible
guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

How do we know what Jesus meant by "this" generation?
Simple....
Not a publishing company?

A quote from the article Page 16 Para 9
Our expectations are
based, not on a naive readiness to be-
lieve anything, but on solid Scriptural
evidence

How Do You Feel About All The Time You Wasted Being. A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
all that i can say is....what a shame!
molybdenum

I have posted this before but I still feel the same, that
I have basically lived a lie all my life.
A Terrible Lie
When I was a kid, it was all very clear
Armageddon is soon, the end so near.
You will not grow old, nor will you die,
Was it all a terrible lie?

You don't need a good job nor a career
Just preach preach preach and pioneer,
No marriage, no job, and no kids
These were the words by which I lived

Just take the message from door to door
It doesn't matter if you're really poor
Just take the message, it's what matters
Don't worry if your life is in tatters.

The Governing Body,they know best.
They work hard and never rest.
They tell us the truth, it's straight from Jehovah
That went through my mind, over and over.

Time has passed, and now I'm old
But I did as I was told.
Now I am poor and have much grey hair
But no money, no pension, is it fair?

What do I do now? I am so confused
My faith is weak and I have no clues.
I still take the message from door to door
But now I wonder, what 's it all for?

When I was a kid it was all very clear
Armageddon is soon, the end so near.
You will not grow old, nor will you die,
Was it all a terrible lie?

Still waiting ... since 1975 !
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
what have i done with my life since 1975?

became a jw in the late 1960s ... looked forward to 1975 as early as 1968 ... so, out of a sense of duty and spirit inspired organizational hounding ... when 1974 arrived, i sold the house, sold the car, sold the wife and kids ... then moved to where the great are needed ... 1975 came and went ... .

so did ... 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 walk away from the organization ... 1993, 1994 then it was 80 years of a special mighty generation since 1914 ... finally, 20 years later it was 1995 when i was forcibly disassociated by wts legal department ... 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 ... yikes!

1975, it came and it went
now I'm old and my money's spent
But we are told from day to day
it's round the corner, hip hip hooray!
Never let your hand droop down
you might make Jehovah frown
We live in the last days, or so we are told
preach with zeal, be bold bold bold!
Keep on preaching with all your might
find those sheep, keep on all night
Stand next to the cart in the middle of town
even when the sun bears down
Don't worry if you are getting sick
do 15 mins and report it quick
Give us your money, donate it all
when you go to the Kingdom Hall
Make a comment with all your heart
read from the paragraph, if you are smart
Conduct your Family Worship night
and don't forget to do it right
at least three hours or more is best
and you must feel guilty if you rest
And personal study it's a must
to fight off that spiritual rust
If that's not enough, then start a study
don't worry if the doctrines are muddy
Like 1914 and the generation "truths"
to show that witnesses are Bible sleuths
40 years on from '75
how much longer can I survive?
( After this sing the "do more - do more" song)

If a parrot spoke to Eve instead of a serpent??
by jam in
1. jw
2. friends
would that change your view on the account???

that's.

plausible.. .
molybdenum

Probably Eve would have given the parrot the bird.

Explanation > give somebody the bird (American & Australian very informal)
to make a very impolite sign by raising your middle finger towards someone in order to show that you are angry with them
