Does the younger generation have our work ethic?

greetings, you hard workers:.

i've had enough of speaking in generalities during my time as a jw evangelizer.

while my own experience will offer up mere anecdotal examples at best, my contemporaries and i have found that kids today lack the earnestness and drive we older folks have had since youth: setting up a lemonade stand; doing yard work without power assist; mopping floors; running errands for a dime; cleaning parking lots, etc.

Sour Grapes

This is my experience with the younger generation.

"I am so excited to hear the Sunday morning talks at this summer's convention"

by Sour Grapes in

i have a super uber jdub relative who lives several states away.

he is always trying to encourage me since he knows that i stopped going to the kingdom haul.

anyhow, he sends me a copy of the program for the summer regional convention and pointed out the sunday morning talks.

Sour Grapes

The JDubs only purpose in life is to survive Armageddon and then at last work their asses off for a 1,000 years burying billions of dead bodies and removing rubble and planting trees with the hope that they survive the final test when Satan is released.

I can see it now in 500 years, "Brother's we must be obedient to the "Princes" because in 500 years we will have our final test. We must obey even if the loving direction seems to be strange or not practical. The final test is fast approaching and gets nearer every day."

The talk outlines are the same as what we heard in the 1970's. The only difference is the date at the bottom of the outlines.

Another JDub fairy tail

by Sour Grapes in

now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online i read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.. talk #50 "future events will require courage - the final test" illustrates how jdubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.. the outline says "at the end of christ's thousand year reign, satan will be released "for a little while".

the devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel.

" my question is how many is some?

Sour Grapes

Some pretty heavy comments!

I have a super uber JDub relative who lives several states away. He is always trying to encourage me since he knows that I stopped going to the Kingdom Haul. Anyhow, he sends me a copy of the program for the summer regional convention and pointed out the Sunday morning talks. He is really excited to hear the talks and this information from Jehovah proves just how close Armageddon is.

I emailed him back that I have copies of all of the talk outlines for Sunday morning and if he would like a sneak preview of the convention to just let me know and I will send him the outlines.

A week has passed with no reply. I would assume that his mind can't comprehend how a person who doesn't go to meetings could have outlines of the talks and if I did then it has to be apostate information. If a person is so excited to hear talks about Gog and Magog and the "proclamation of the hailstones" that he would not want to wait another four months if he could have the information now.

He also knows that if he had the information before his scheduled assembly that he himself would be looked at as being an apostate.

Oh the joys of being a JDub.

Talk #50 "Future Events Will Require Courage - The Final Test" illustrates how JDubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the Watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.

The outline says "At the end of Christ's Thousand Year Reign, Satan will be released "for a little while". The Devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel." My question is how many is some? Will the JDubs picture a few thousand or fifty thousand rebels? Would they dare think of a larger number to encompass "some?"

The outline continues "Rebellious humans' -Gog and Magog-will gather together for a war and will surround the righteous humans." Let's stop there. I would think that at the end of the 1,000 reign of Jesus that there would be at least 10 billion people on the earth and the vast majority would be JDubs wouldn't they? How many people does it take to surround the righteous humans? I think that using the word "some" is an understatement.

There would have to be billions of rebels to surround the righteous ones. Maybe 4 billion JDubs and 6 billion rebels. After all of the work to be in a beautiful paradise, God has once again will have to destroy billions of people. Maybe this will be the last time.

After watching "the last man on earth" I've been thinking about the paradise

if you haven't seen will forte's "the last man on earth" on amazon prime, do as its really funny.

the setting of the story is that 2 years prior a virus has killed all humans except one.... amongst the high jinks are the struggles he has with things like; getting water from the water system when the areas water supply is no longer being maintained, ditto sewerage, not having ready access to fresh foods that require industry like butter and cheese, not having access to medical help, being unable to communicate with anyone outside of shouting distance, having no electricity / electronic appliances.. it's got me thinking, all the wt's illustrations show the time when armageddon is over as being really joyful and there being plenty for everyone.

but in fact that would just not be the case, especially since most jw's have no survival skills or expert knowledge of any kind.. jws just don't think about this, how are all those couples who are waiting untill the new system to have kids, going to have kids in a survival setting?

Sour Grapes

The Desert God will vaporize the dead bodies. He will turn the crumbled buildings into sand. Freshwater will flow from rocks and food will fall out of heaven right onto one's table cooked and ready to go. Finding forks and knives may be a problem though. My concern is when I run out of razors since the Gibbering Booty has outlawed beards. Maybe God, after the Great Tribulation, will overrule them and let the hair that he put on men and women grow like it was meant to.

page 16, par.

18 carefully follow the latest directions.. do we faithfully follow the latest directions that jehovah has given us?

if so, we will not rely on always doing things the way we have done them in the past.
