  1942 Consolation series "Japan Inspired of the Devil"

  by cabasilas in

  recently i obtained some issues of consolation for the year 1942 (predecessor for todays awake!

  ) through an online auction.

  one of the first articles to catch my attention was a 4 part series of articles on japan, written just after the pearl harbor attack in december 1941. they begin with the february 18, 1942 issue.

  Most parents would be proud...

  about a year ago, he had an emotional crisis and questioned a lot of things, including his faith.

  i thought (and hoped) that he would consider his beliefs and come realize that his beliefs were part of his crisis.

  this was not the case, but he and i continue to be on good terms.

  Your story has some similarities to my own. I finally had to realize that the WT is not the only problem my family is facing. I agree that it is extremely frustrating to see people you love act in ways that are so dysfunctional.

  I hope you feel proud of yourself that you have found a better way to live, and can recognize this is abnormal and unhealthy. There are many people who grew up like we did and never have that realization.

  Perhaps it was your intuition. A very good book about the issues you discuss is called "Practical Intuition" by Laura Day. She also has a website.

  I was out of the WT in 1994. What prediction of the end came then? And in what context?

  Did you Hate Being Called Brother ( last name ) Or use People's First Name?

  by flipper in

  a a witness this really bugged me.

  i hated being called brother ( last name ) by people i knew for 10, 20, or 30 years !

  it was so impersonal i felt.

  It didn't bother me when I was being called on to comment at a meeting, because I thought that was a more formal setting. I don't remember anyone calling me that when we were in service or just talking at a meeting though. That would have been weird.

  i recently asked a girl out.

  she was excited to go so we nailed down some plans and i bought some tickets for a live show at a theater.

  the show was for 7:30 pm on friday.

  Of course, I don't know her personally, so maybe she had some real good excuse (and it better be real good, too, to justify that behavior). But in my opinion, if someone doesn't treat you well early in a relationship, they are even less likely to treat you well later on. In most cases, early problems should be red flags that the relationship isn't meant to be.

  i saw this on www.newsfromme.com and thought i would share it:.

  let's imagine it's 1938 and if you're a male, let's imagine you're female.

  let us imagine you have considerable artistic ability and you think it might be put to good use working for mr. walt disney on his animated features as, say, an animator.

  How sad. Of course, at the time most people found this perfectly acceptable. I wonder how many of today's perfectly acceptable viewpoints will be regretted in the future?

  Question about how long Jesus 1000 year reign is?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it appears that the watchtower teaches that the 1000 year reign starts after armageddon, which makes sense.

  (revelation 20:6) .

  .happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of god and of the christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.

  Good question. I've wondered about this myself. I don't have any answers though. It's possible the WT doesn't either. As we have seen throughout the years, not all of their doctrines add up.

  Joe Anderson is a common name. It may help to give more info, like what area he lives in, his age, etc.
