what about dan sydlik and henschel milton, for example?.
they were born in 1919 and 1920 (after 1914), and both died before the "great tribulation".. .
the definition of wt says:.
Is 1992 and Fred Franz significant to the understanding of "This Generation."? I thought they just used him as an example in the talk at the DC.
Reading the comments of Wannabefree and Caminante on this thread have me confused (i'm sure the GB wants it this way).
just setting the record straight.
there is another thread that notes a claim on wiki that said that ray has died.. he had a stroke yesterday, and is in the hospital.
he is still alive.
COC sealed the deal for me. Peace be with Ray and Cynthia.
i know that a witness is not supposed to associate with worldlies.
suppose, then, that a witness were in a great need, and either took the help and later sort of kept the person at a distance, or refused the help.
do witnesses understand how that makes them look to the outside world?
Witnesses have a selfish, over-righteous mentality about themselves. They only care about outside appearances as it relates to making the Org look good or not bringing reproach on "Jehovah's" name. They do not care if they appear fanatical, aloof or uncaring to non-dubs. Their opinion doesn't matter, they're bird food.
following on with the austrian zone visit post.
just some info that the visits are to a number of european branches.. they are also at the french bethel around the 15th of may before heading on to other branches including the austrian and german branches.. it seems that it is the overseer of the personnel committee who is loesch i believe and also a heavyweight "helper" of the publishing committee.. the branches are expecting quite a few changes, it does seem strange to my source in france that all the travelling overseers have been left in place for a 4th year this september, which is unheard of in europe.
the then yet unknown changes will take place in sep 2011.. waiting here to see what these announcements are.. .
I know of two older CO's in my area who are being reassigned as special pioneers at the end of their stint in Sept 2010. Changes are on the horizon it would seem.
i had been getting my hope up that this new generation teaching wouldn't make sense and cause my jw friends and family to wake up.i even asked my mom to explain the new generation teaching, but she didn't even know what i meant!
slept through that meetin'?
anyway, i had to tell her the march 15 wt, (which i studied thanks to the comments provided here on this wonderful board!
Also, the Isrealites had ample evidence of Moses having God's backing. By the time they got to the Red Sea, they felt confident about God's ability to save them even if they couldn't comprehend it at that point. The WT have ZERO evidence of having God's backing, NONE of their prophesies have come true. They are losing credibility. That's why they are putting out at remixed Generation doctrine to buy more time as this 'system' continues on.
i started reading sign of the last days by carl oloff johnson this week.
i am almost to page 50 right now, and have finished the section on world famines.
wow - he really deconstructs the idea of whether famines have increased or decreased over the past 2,000 years.
Sounds interesting....adding to my reading list.
men or women?
which do you think is most likely to wake up and leave?.
Men definately. They wise up early on to the BS, politics, restrictiveness and brown-nosing in the congregation and leave.
just curious...how many of you went to the elders and reported to them things that you heard through gossip?
.
and how many of you knew things that could get people disfellowshipped, but decided not to tell the elders?.
Hellz naw! I know how it feels to have people gossip about you to the elders and being hounded on BS.

Thanks Blondie!
This article tested my patience.
What the eff is the difference between being baptized in HS and being baptized in the name of HS? Especially since the rest of the article went on to talk about how the HS can operate in us and how we can ask for it. Huh?? They are truly inconsistent in thought in Crooklyn.
The comments made at the WT study were truly braindead, everyone pretty much read the paragraph over.
