i had surgery this weekend and the history channel had a great special on the last days.
they actually highlighted the generation teaching and the millerites.
benny hinn was on and he stated that 1948 was the key year and the generation lasted 100 years.
I have heard bad things about Benny for years. He was just used as a reference. This was my first time hearing about 1948. I caught bits and pieces of the program, but it was interesting.
I know the WT could never use 1948, but they must think Dubs were crazy for 1914.
I am not sure, but I am a Black Ultra-Conservative. I do not say republican because of the association with Palin.
ok, here's my current list:.
i just finished the greatest show on earth by richard dawkins, and am almost finished crisis of conscience by...some guy.. currently in hand, i have:.
the power of myth, joseph campbell and bill moyers.
I love all Walter Mosley (Easy Rawlings Series) books. The last was Blonde Faith.
if all jw are so holy and righteous,why do 70,000 to 100,000 get disfellowshipped each year?
in 10 years,that would be 700,000 to 1,000,000.df for causing sectarian divisions,misleading,treating lightly the preaching work,rejecting god's representatives(gb) and his visible org.so what are they going to do to these df'er.. b.
I was an attendent at Dodger Stadium for many years. it was funny how ALL of the pioneers and elders and "ELDEResses" would literally fight to get the best seats (as was previously mentioned.
Now the wives of elders like to play the hollier than thou spiritually minded christian role. It is funny, but sad. Some JWs spend sooo much time tearing down the faithful, I am convienced that living forever is tortue if some of the JWs that I know are there.

Benny Hinn was on and he stated that 1948 was the key year and the generation lasted 100 years. They of course used all of the typical JW scriptures relating to the generation.
I don't know if this was posted yet, but the parts I saw were interesting.
just got back from memorial.
only went so that i could say to my parents that i had gone and to remind myself why i left.. oh my word!!!
it was sooooo painful.. got there a bit late - it was a couple of minutes into the talk.
I snuck in a back room with the family and tried to leave immediately. Long talk by a Brooklyn man, not great, but better than the locals. It was not packed as the last memorial I attended 6 years ago.

I get so tired of the phonies. A lot of the same old scriptures that have been read thousands of times. Very dissapointed in my second meeting in the last 6 years. I really hate the meetings. No substance or even devotional feelings. No connection with the masses or even brotherly love. Just sit down, turn to a scripture every 2 minutes and then get a free watchtower on the way out..
I was thinking, "BOY, do these idiots know of the major change that is coming" Then I remembered, drones don't think, they will just follow what is told.
i did...... by the time you were done, they looked at you like you were from another planet.. it was the "you actually believe all of this?
" look.. .
I just say I celebrated the Passover.
enjoy!.

I have said it on other threads, but I wonder what intelligent person in the org. still believes this. It is clearly a false teaching!!!
mine was filled with shock and anger but mostly anger.
it made me feel that way because i have never been lied to like that growing up in the religion with it being all you know.
.
When the generation teaching changed in 1995, that the the red light that made me question everything. Of course I wondered, What else is a lie? They I could see that everything was subjective.
In reality, it was just a semantics thing for me; I mean really, what is a cult? All religion has falsehoods, deceptions and lies. The dubs are no different. Spirituality is a few levels above religionist. Most J-Dubs have no idea what a relationship with God is or real spirituality.
