  Generation 'New Light' is Actually Working

  by zoiks in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.

  they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.

  i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.

  Do You ENJOY The Holidays & Birthdays Now That You Can Celebrate Them?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  whether it be father's day, mother's day, christmas or even a birthday, do you actually enjoy the celebrations, the spending of $$, and all that these festivities entail?.

  or would you rather be a jw (just) for those times and not deal with it all?.

  Despite being on a great fade (July1st deemed "inactive") I find it hard. I don't feel its wrong or right, just a damned numbness that prevents me from moving on. I got a fathers day card from my daughter for the 1st time since she was 8 years old, before we dove in head first....so sweet. Guess it will take time to get the Dub out of me...

  0.7% isn't that a little shy of the natural growth of death/birth of a round 1%? Could this increase simply be a natural number of those family members that they now count - such as "counting a youngster provided she/he seems to be paying attention" - instructions I was always given. Also, how many of that number are really part of the large influx of Latino most congregations are experiencing in the US?

  1) I now read my bible more than I ever did as a JW and I was an elder for 20 out of 25 years as a JW

  2) I am not "codependent" on anyone - Ray simply warned that we should be wary of any organized religoin led by man

  3) I do not and have not worshipped any person. To imply that those who read Ray's books are simply narrow-minded and draconian in viewpoint.

  2. friends

  i just received word that ray franz passed away today at 1:37 pm eastern daylight time.

  the cause of death is stated as head trauma, likely due to falling to the ground, and a stroke could have also been part of the cause or a result of the fall.

  he died at emory university hospital in atlanta about 17 minutes after being taken off life support.

  Now here is one man we have all enjoyed having had our lives "overlap" with!! In his passing I am sure he is at peace with the choices he made and glad that he did them when his life was at its full. Cynthia, if you are reading on - Ray's memory will never fade...you have been truly blessed as have we.

  The one thing that might bring down the Watchtower

  revealing the finances and financial position of those at the top.. look every organization makes money and it usually goes to the top.

  the brothers and sisters could not ignore the hypocrisy if exactly how much was floating around was revealed.

  think about it's like a corporation where only the ceo gets paid.

  Maybe we could petition Anderson Cooper of CNN to do the same expose as he did with the Scientologists?
