I'm lost..what's the current take on the generation doctrine? I just know the last one. That it wasn't a literal generation, etc.

Horrible Apostates fall into Jehovahs Trap
by Jim Dee inas you guys are probably aware, the new watchtower for studying has shed new light on the generations issue (ie whoops we got it wrong, we were right before) .
the co's here in aus have been briefed to inform the congregation (either formally or informally) that is is part of the cunning of jehovah .
when jesus parted the non beleiver disciples from the core 12 (or was it 13) he made an outrageous statement and watched the weak walk off - thats exactly what jehovahs organisation has done today .

Do you pray for others? Why? (One reason I rejected the Bible)
by AlmostAtheist inin addition to the noah's ark nonsense, this idea of praying for others was one that led me away from the bible.
here's how it plays out, in my opinion:.
bob has a problem.. jerry prays about that problem on behalf of bob.. god either:.

Hmmm i have to disagree with this post because it seems to insinuate that christiand and catholics have less incidence of infidelity..LOL!!!!! Do you live in a predominantly Cathoilc country? Well I do.. And let me tell you I think maybe 10% are faithful. Actually in one study done it was said these countried usually have a higher incidence of infidelity because of CONFESSION... apparently this means you can wipe you hands clean of your sin (infidelity) without guilt...yey!!!!! just llook around at your latin countries. I mean seriously, I wonder where this study was done????

Why you still go on Field Service? Why Elders posts on JWD?
by tooktheredpill inthis morning, a poster asked me why i still go on field service:.
just wondering if your conscience bothers you that you are continuing to "spread the jw gospel"?
do you have plans to stop fs soon?

The last few years I can honestly say I did my utmost not to succeed in field service. I don't think it's that difficult. Just don't leave magazines. Talk about practical things like improving family life etc....I had zero studies and sis absolutely no return visits. So I think you can go out in field service and still maintain a pretty o.k. conscience. I didn't recruit anybody that's for sure. And thinking back on it many true believing witnesses were doing the same....so much for effective preaching work...

Circuit Assembly This Weekend
by united states of nothing inwell, i went this weekend and there were a few key points that i thought were pretty interesting.
one thing is that we are not to use the word 'society' any longer.
i don't know if anybody else has heard of this before but i wondered what the reason was behind it.

Anyways, the same my space talk i've heard was given in halls as well...... it was a special needs talk in my old hall...but there are so many sites similar to my space. here in south america it's another site that's similar.

Yeah I thought people couldn't forward those stories either. I also had to block some really annoying person who loved to forward shit like this. It was very irritating!!!
