Since 1995 we had 3 changes of the 'understanding'. A doctrine that was considered to be solid as a rock, collapsed like castle build upon the sand. I believe more and more JW's will find their way out, since the WT has failed tramatically to give them hope for a new world in their lifetimes..

Australian brothers VERY negative comments regarding new "generations" ... some leaving Bethel..will this blow up in the Watchtowers face?
by Witness 007 ina brother i spoke with from bethel to me seemed discouraged and lacking zeal latley...he spoke of leaving which shocked me since he was there for decades...he left to get a full time job!!!
it was his whole reason for living since i've known him!
others have said the new doctrine of "blended generations" of anionted seeing armagedon is "confusing" or "i just don't get it"...one brother my only close friend is furious and said i qoute..."they seem to be blowing smoke up our ass!

2010 District Convention - Some Thoughts on the Sunday Afternoon Session
by Olin Moyles Ghost inout of a sense of morbid curiosity, i recently attended the sunday afternoon session of the district convention.
the session consisted of a drama and the infamous "remain in the secret place of the most high" talk.
overall, i got a sense that the wts is in damage control mode because the end hasn't come yet.

Same old sh*t coming out from Brooklyn sh*t hole...It reminds me the good old early 80's, when I was a teenager and at the District Convention we had talks and dramas that were urging us not to study, become full time pioneers, because the end was just around the corner, and we would never grow old in this System.
Well apparently I grew old, I'm in my early 40's, it was 30 years ago, the generation died, and still I'm 'waiting' to see 'God's' promises to be fullfilled...

I do like the misinformed part!!!
At this moment there are hundreds of ex-jw's websites, in many countries and languages. So with a simple search on the internet you will find a huge amount of negative information about JW's, since WT doesn't allow active JW's to own website supporting WT.
So if someone wants to find anything regarding JW's a simple search in google and you will find all you need. It happened to me once when I was approached by Realians. I just did a simple search and there you are...I found all I needed to know about that cult and specially from ex-members.
WT and the GB knows how hard times are to get new members in the era of information. That is why they are trying to keep the existing members to leave, or to start THINK...

DC Talk on Generaton
by Cynisister inas i will not be in attendance for this year's district convention, i would love to know exactly what the talk on the new meaning of "generation" actually states.
i visited my recently widowed mother (who found the "truth" when i was a toddler, and therefore i was raised in the religion - quit it totally 3 years ago) and had a lively discussion on the implications of this "new light".
she seemed really disturbed about all the "new anointed" ones coming out of nowhere.

I don't feel to listen to WT's crap. I just readed the main points of the talk and I'm just fine...
What a crap, the generation changed 4 times since 1995...I guess the Holy Spirit likes to play with JW's mind and doesn't decide what the generation means

Was God over reacting destroying the whole planet in Noah's flood to kill afew evil people...too bad Noah forgot the Unicorns and Dinosaurs according to the Watchtower!
by Witness 007 inyes instead of striking them dead he decided to flood the entire planet killing every living plant and animal {sorry peta members} which only afew years before he created declaring it "good.
" then he made a "rainbow" as a sign that never again will he destroy every living thing.. wasn't this over the top?.
too bad they forgot the poor unicorns and dinosuars though!.

Can you explain truthseeker, why the Gilgamesh Epic, is similar to Noahs Flood, but older?
Also if a Global flood occured in just 4200 years ago, why does WT clearly contradict it self when they accept the building of the Pyramids in Eggypt in the year 4400 B.C? How can Pyramids are build 200 years BEFORE the Great Flood? Just do a search in WT's CD regarding Pyramids and you will see the clear contradiction by the WT.
And if according to WT the Earth was filled with Water, then how come and we find papyrus in the Egyptian desert, dating 4400 B.C or even older than that? To preserve a papyrus you need DRY soil, or sand. If the entire earth was filled with water then we wouldn't have any papyrus, they would have been destroyed by the flooding water...
And finally, how did kangaroos travel to Australia? Why we find certain spieces in certain places and not in all over the world?

Problems with Soccer (Football) from an American Standpoint
by RubaDub inso as not to hijack another thread, just a few comments on why we (americans) find that soccer is generally a boring game to watch.. 1. lack of scoring: american football adjusts the rules periodically so that each team averages around 3 touchdowns per game.
basketball added the three-point line to encourage more scoring.
even traditional baseball has tweaked the rules to encourage more scoring.

cofty, I agree with you. Plus the offside rule will result scores like 14-8. That's not the point, since Football will loose the skill of scoring and attacking. If there are teams that like offensive football then we can watch a great game, like Germany in this world cup. that scored 4 goals to England and for to Argentina in the knock out phase.
Football is the King of sports. No other game can literally motivate so many people to get out in the streets and celebrate. From Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, football is the King. I really love Brasilians when they celebrate a game that Celecao has win. They dance samba in the streets with all those hot Brasilians girls to shake...

The JW "We don't live for dates" argument
by sabastious ini have ran into this a few times lately.
there is so much wrong with this statement, but i want to just focus on the points that have the highest chance of setting into the jw's mind.. .
what first comes to mind is the fact that jw's have been peddling the "end of the world" being right around the corning for over 100 years.... .

If there is one religion on this plannet, crazy with dates, then look for the WT:
1799 Invisible presence of Jesus
1874, Invisible presence of Jesus, battle in heavens, Satan down to Earth
1878 resurrection of the Anointed ones
1914, Armageddon,
1916 Armageddon
1914, Invisible presence of Jesus, battle in heavens, Satan down to Earth
1918, resurrection of the Anointed ones
1919, inspection by Jesus, Russell and Bible Students abroved by Him
1925 Armageddon, with the resurrection of the Prophets to guide the Battle from Booze Jo's Mansion in Cal.
1935 Heavenly door closed
1942, Jo said we are only few months way from Armageddon
1975, Armageddon is very closed, combined with the 6000 years of Creation
1984, 70 years past from the famous generation that seen the Sign of Jesus presence in 1914 that will see the End
1995 and beyond, 4 changes of the Generation understanding, the End is Near, and the heavenly door that was closed since 1935 re-opened last year!!!

Ok, a got a couple of questions:
1. If the GB was chosen by Christ, were is the PROOF?
2. If they are followers of the Early Apostolic Church, and claim that they kept the 'truth' can they PROVIDE any Apostolic Succession?
