  Help needed: Killing the 'The light gets brighter' argument?

  by jah1914 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so after the revelation study last night where the paragraph was talking about how russell's interpertation of revelation basically didn't work and got discarded, my wife comments with the same old,"the light gets brigther, that's why i respect fds because at least they will change when they figure out something is wrong.

  " (insert vomit here) afterwards, me and the book study conductor(i have to at least give him credit, he is someone i can talk to freely about my questions and he has not,as of yet, turned me in) got into a discussion of what 'the light gets brighter' really means.

  he basically says so the brothers have made changes, so what?

  Doing research on the 1914 generation prophecy

  by rodneycwilson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently researching a graduate paper about the jehovah's witnesses and the recent "new light" on the application and interpretation of the 1914 "this generation shall not pass away" teaching.. i am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who was active in the watchtower society during the period in which this doctrine was reworked -- specifically the mid-1990s.

  i am interested to learn how this change was made known to members; the impact it had on congregations; how much congregational discussion there was about it; the impact on members and membership; if it sowed seeds of doubt in member's mind, etc.. any help anyone can offer is most appreciated.

  i may be reached at [email protected].

  A CALL TO ACTION: HIGH PRIORITY

  by Wingman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi everyone,.

  a letter has been prepared by anonymous brothers to be sent to bodies of elders around the world.. of course this is a massive undertaking and we are asking for assistance from active and inactive ones around the world who share the sentiments of the letters contents.. your participation in this action indicates your sincere desire to see change within the organization that has become authoritarian in recent years.. we ask that the letter be addressed to "the body of elders" in each respective congregation.. please do not add any further information or commentary.. we are also relying on non-english speaking brothers to translate and distribute this letter.. it will not matter if more than one letter is received by each congregation.

  .

  watch 61 p.766-767 question; "how can a girl guard against temptation in this sex-crazy world.

  ...in answer to this question, we can learn about nature and sex from the bovine family of mammals, both wild and tame.

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. social
  2. humour

  being in "the truth" forever, i keep (frustratingly) finding myself humming kingdom songs unintentionally.

  it frustrates me when i find myself doing it!.

  so today i got this song in my head, and couldn't get it unstuck, so i decided to write alternate lyrics to it... when i get that tune in my head now, i'll have words that work!
