now, i don't know if this has been discussed before, but, with reguard to 1914. let's pretend this prophecy is true.

PROOF that the GB lurk HERE ???
by AlphaOmega in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
a while ago, i posted this thread.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/135699/1.ashx.

in which i said.... this is strange, i read that in 1995 they did away with the "generation" teaching, yet the official watchtower website still says this, over 12 years later !.

thus, all the features of the last days must take place within the lifetime of one generation, the generation of 1914. so some people who were alive in 1914 will still be alive when this system comes to its end.

They Actually Said it!- A rant Brought to you By sw29
by saywhat29 in
1. jw
2. experiences
can't quote word for word, but at the dc this friday, the last talk given, the speaker actually said "not to question the faithful and discreet slave" and everybody around me was eating it up like it was cake.

my insides were churning when that guy said that crap.. and the funny thing is that if i hadn't been reading this board, reading the evilomg!

apostate literature they 'warned' us not to, then i would have been feeling guilty for my doubt, for my lack of faith, for being different, and all the rest of that crap.
