I am going to start taking my sun glasses to the Sunday meetings.
The light is getting so bright that it hurts my eyes. The new light
on the generation burned a hole thru my skull like a laser beam.

One of the comments made was that "since the generation started in 1914, the overlap
just proves how close the end is." A drone is a drone. They have just tacked on 50 to
60 more years until the generation dies off. The WTBS will make reference to this article
20 or 30 years from now.

A Generation Comes and a Generation Goes
by UnDisfellowshipped into everything turn, turn, turn...... a generation comes and a generation goes:.
first, it was god's promise that some of the generation of people who witnessed the events of 1914 would still be alive when the great tribulation starts.. it was speculated that a generation could be 40 years, 70 years, 80 years, 100 years, or even possibly 120 years long.. then, as the years went by, year after year after year passed by... no end in sight.. finally in the 1980's and 90's, it was announced that the generation would include all of those people who were born in 1914. that bought them another few years.. for decades, each and every issue of awake!
magazine featured this declaration at the beginning:.

THIS GENERATION - again! Who belongs to "This Generation"?
by Titus inwhat about dan sydlik and henschel milton, for example?.
they were born in 1919 and 1920 (after 1914), and both died before the "great tribulation".. .

Most JW's can only describe the first meaning of "this generation". My Mom is
in her 80's and this is what she still believes. She doesn't understand the
last two flashes of "new light" and she sure as hell won't understand the
latest change. Most JW's will not be able to explain the change and the
ones that do will say that this is further proof that we have the Truth because
the light is getting brighter and brighter. Some who are really deep thinkers
will even state that this is another sign of how close we are to the end even
though the Witchtower Babel and Trick Society has just added another 70 to
80 years of waiting until the Great Tribulation.

I still go to a few meetings a month just to keep members of my family happy.
The Witnesses seemed to be getting all worked up about how close the end
is. It sorta feels like the 1975 era only 35 years later. The brother who gave
the talk said that the "end is very very near." He said that he became a
Witness in 1990 so he missed all of the fun in 1975. Then during the Witchtower
study some brother commented how thankful we should all be that Jehovah has not
yet brought Armageddon because how many would not be here today.
I just zoned out as my brain began to bleed.

Well I attended the Memorial a few days ago and it always amazes me
that on this night that the JW's forget how to park their cars in the parking
lot. I pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where
and how to park my car. For God's sake the parking spaces are marked and
the cars are parked no differently than the other 364 days of the year.
I walk inside and you can tell which JW's have Bible students there because
they have the biggest smiles and wear these individuals like badges of
honor. Then there is the rag tag visitors in blue jeans and tea shirts. I
keep thinking what in God's green earth would make these people want to
come to the KH one night out of the year?
Of couse there was the love bombing that you only get until you get
baptized. I could tell that those who were getting bombed enjoyed the
attention. The talk was the same this year as last year. "We are here
to observe the Memorial of Christ death but you will not be partaking of
the emblems." Jesus said to keep doing this in rememberance of me. All
that heard his works drank the wine and eat the bread, however not one
partook of the emblems at our hall. If we are to keep doing this than why
are we not doing what Jesus said to do?
I am glad that another year has passed and I just can't wait for next
years Memorial.

2010 DC" Remain in Gods Love"...Most Unloving Yet??
by JWFreak inthe talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.
this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.
this is a fact!!.

They could forbid oral sex, or they could forbid holding hands during the KH
prayers, or they could demand what rooms to stay in during the summer
conventions, or they could control how short or long the sisters dresses have
to be, or they could say that the sisters can't wear pants in the freezing cold
while out selling the magazines, they could demand that beards are not allowed
even though Jesus and Russel had one, they could demand that everyone move
and sit closer toward the front of the stage at the KH, they coul demand that
they have the right to come to your house for a shepard call, they could demand
that even if you only have 15 minutes of preaching time that you count it, they
could demand what assembly you have to attend in the summer, they could
demand that while at the summer convention that you can not leave the location for lunch,
they could demand that R rated movies are off limits, they could demand that being overly
sad at the death of a loved one is an indication that you do not trust the resurrection,
they could demand that if you are sick that should not stop you from coming to the
meetings, they could demand that young people should strife to go to Bethel as they
push out of Bethel the older ones. My brain is starting to bleed.
