  Depression

  by RR in

  over five thousand years ago, moses said to the children of israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and i will lead you to the promised land".. .

  nearly 75 years ago, roosevelt said, "lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land".. .

  now obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land!.

  We have no way of knowing - JESUS NEVER WROTE ANYTHING DOWN - he was not real, it is just a story !!

  At best we have hearsay that was written down many years later, nobody had the idea to write anything down until years later.

  Interesting quote from COC Re: Generation teaching

  by palmtree67 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just read this today:.

  (pp 257) "reports drifted back to brooklyn that he (albert schroeder) was suggesting to others that the expression "this generation" as used by jesus at matthew 24:34 applied to the generation of "anointed ones", and that as long as any of these were still living, such "generation" would not have passed away".

  schroeder's views then ( in 1978 ) were rejected by the governing body.. but doesn't this sound like the explanation given now of the generation???.

  My dad is a elder, he told me that all of the "kids" my age 33 have left. He said it is because they did not have a personal study.
