Generation of 1914 gone!

by Gill in

is the generation that saw 1914, now dead and gone?.

if they were born in 1900, they'd be 105 now and there are not many of these people left.. if they were born in 1914 they'd be 91 and there are not many of these left either.. can we say that the early light of russell and rutherford, and nathor knowrr is well and truly disproved?.

can we say it's just a matter of time before the new light is also disproved?.

So the NUMBER 144,000. was sealed but they can still be picked(According to the WTBTSup to armageddon?

That is assuming people believe it..which I don't .

As someone told me one time..religions pick and choose what can be taken literally and what can be taken symbolically.

I am assuming some of the posters here believe in a Armageddon according to their posts?

But I personaly think any destruction done to the earth and it's people will be man made.Which ironically is exactly the same as the bible's discription of Armageddon!

The KH and people in it make me so hateful

so the brother who was suppose to do sound had to read the watchtower that morning so i had to do it b/c no one else who knew how to showed up.

so there i was sitting through this boring talk that talked about entertaiment or something and i heard it all before so i started reading this watchtower that was laying on the sound system.

then brother elder walked by and told my dad i was sleeping, and another brother elder walked by and told my dad i was sleeping.

Golden Girl

OMG this post is so funny!

I can't believe they actually council you for this now!

At the KH's I attended the Elders were notorious for nodding off!(And a few sisters)

They were always getting jabbed I even had to jab hubby..I remember thinking how can they go to sleep when this is SO interesting!

Was I brainwashed or what!

My Mother died...

it happened one year ago today.

june 4, 2004. they say these things take time and that recovery gets easier as time goes on, and i suppose that's true.

but then again, some things leave a hole in your heart that will never go away.

Golden Girl

I totally understand David. My hubby was a JW but I had quit years ago.

It seemed like I always was trying to show him how wrong they were..but it was his belief!..Since he passed away, I have often thought..what was so important about trying to taking his faith away?Show him how wrong they were.

Was I being selfish?..Him and his JW family made me miserable but it was the way they believed. It was their right.Some of the things they said to me were cruel..but that was their personality..if not religion maybe it would have been something else?.

What did I gain from it? Nothing. Just defending myself..is that selfish? I felt like it was now that he is gone. But I remember hearing someone say before..live each day like it might be your last..

I think we need to seperate religion from out family..even if they can't. Give what love they allow us to give and let them live their own lives.

If I had swallowed my pride hubby and I would have had a few more pleasant days.

The thing is..you can't change the past..but you can learn from it. What you do with that knowledge is up to you.

Hugs for your pain..Snoozy..

JWs at The NGO Fair!

by Voyager in

jws at the "ngo" fair!.

previously, dogpatch (randy) had requested some further checking into.

the 2003 georgia ngo listing of jehovahs witnesses.. .

Golden Girl

Thanks Voyager...

I find this fascinating since I have been studing the subject on the UN and NGO's..I found the letter the UN posted about receiving so many inquiries they are refusing to answer any more questions about the JW's..but they empahtically state they resigned in 10/2001!..I keep seeing their involvement in one way or another with the NGO Title.I can't erase this feeling they are up to something..possibly registered under another name?..I know they have seperate corporations now to protect themselves from lawsuits..

I checked all the listed NGO's but there are so many..and I couldn't figure out who they were..

I think they have been recognized in the past as an NGO member and people may just be taking it for granted that they still are.(Georgia)

Kind of taking advantage of the system aren't they?..Using them to promote their religion and yet talking about how much God hates them and is going to destroy them?

What happened to "Not being a part of the world" ?

I could go on but want to look up ypur links..thanks

Well my parakeet 's name isn't real wierd but having the name is!

He originally belonged to my daughter and I took him over..his name is Jinx..

The problem is when she bought him she bought two birds..one of them passed away

Well when we took "Jinx" to the bird store they informed us he was a she! When she first got him they told her Jinx was a male!
It must be pretty hard to tell a boy from a girl if they couldn't tell. But as jinx matured so did his beak..

Now how do you program your mind to call something a girl that you thought was a boy? I still call her a him!

I hope I'm not causing him....her any psychological damage...
