now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.
Slim So much so that one time it was “vindication” described as the most important part of our message, and even that the purpose of Jesus coming to the earth was to vindicate Jehovah’s name first and to save mankind second. I don’t think they’ve returned to going that far in the recent literature.
This made me hugely uncomfortable. In my gut it felt wrong.
that is the title of one of the watchtower's seemingly endless list of books that was pushed out for sale placement in the jehovah's witness' ministry.
the title does ask a great question.
those who would deny that the bible is divine in origin usually point to failed prophecy, events that do not mesh with historic evidence, scientific evidence, or even plagiarism from other religions.
Paddy I accept what you're saying. Interesting placed side by side.
The thing is, all of our altruistic behaviours can be explained by evolution (pro social animal etc) and even our belief in God can (we tend to see agency in everything, as a protective measure)

Anna Marina Is that really Marc O 'Donnel?!! If so, dudes a genius! Classic😂
Kinda reminds me of the sort of thing Johnathan Richmond would sing😊
I love middle Eastern food. I'm definitely going to dive further into this channel if they post recipes.
Thanks Uni !
Anna Marina I pronounce it fal A fel. With the "A' rising up and the 'fel" going down. I might be wrong tho😳
my wife and i have been together for 12 years.
married for 6. she was born into the truth, i studied for 2 years before we got married.
we would attend meetings on a weekly basis, go to conventions, and memorial every year.
But telling the elders about adultery does not necessarily result in trouble for the adulterer.
^^^ This.
In my experience it's the partner who has the best "back up" who wins (ie most influential family).
Make sure, whatever you do, it reflects well on you. Because when you do fall in love again, you don't want to scare her off by being vengeful. You're better off without her if she behaved like that. Get therapy I'd highly recommend it, too, to help deal with the pain and anger.
what kind of games should we play on this discussion board?
this forum needs to be more interesting.
any ideas?
Punk 😂😂😂
