  I felt bad that I had misrepresented God's promise by preaching that the generation of 1914 would not pass away. I couldn't agree that we had seen the sign of Christ's presence. I didn't like the lack of love that is shown toward decent people who try to follow the "truth" (1975) and are hurt and spoken of in a bad way. I didn't like the worship of the organization. I didn't like the focus on works, meeting atttendance, field service hours, rather than faith in Christ.

  I also found the meetings incredibly boring, I thought the assemblies were worse. Most of the Elders thought to much of themselves and lacked real warmth and love. (Making sheparding calls by the calendar as if they cared)

  ...What really matters in Watchtower World?...

  by OUTLAW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wbt$ association with the united nations should have been a big deal.....it`s not... jehovah`s witness`s don`t care... the wbt$ pedophile problem should have been a big deal.....it`s not... jehovah`s witness`s don`t care... the "generation change" should have been a big deal.....it`s not... jehovah`s witness`s don`t care... .

  if the wbt$ can do anything it wants.....and.....jehovah`s witness`s don`t care what the wbt$ does... is there anything in watchtower world,that matters..besides being obedient to the wbt$?...

  I think nothing matters as long as you remain as a JW in the ark like organization. Only yesterday when I talked with an Elder about the changes that are made, the superior authorities, generation, 1975 he said that as long as you die faithful that's it.

  my grandfather fought in the first ww.

  he was in the trenches in france, he was gased and survived we always thought of him as one of the "generation" when we were kids.

  he lived to almost 90, died in 1979.. he was always against the "truth" he mocked, he referred to my parents, his son, as a bible basher/thumper ect.

  StAnn,

  No. I was going to school my mother was in the hallway at the time it didn't disappear for her but I was on the stairs where most of the things happened. (It is along time ago but I think that is when it happened)

  I also recently felt the need to talk with a doctor of theology who teaches at university about a possibility concerning my brother who was a baby at the time and how it affected him.

  nelly136,

  No we never had any "weird stuff" we had lived with my Grandfather for about 4years prior to the occurences.

  There were other things that happened in the months that we had the problems. I know we had trouble with something. I don't want to detail everything that occured for a variety of reasons.

  StAnn,

  "have to laugh at your statement that you don't buy used books at book fairs or garage sales."

  I must have mistyped my comments. I do buy books or have done at garage sales, there used to be a book fair that came to our area many years ago and I brought a great book of Robin Hood stories plus some old WTS books.(I no longer have them)

  jamiebowers,

  Maybe although we thought it was the sweater, because it was blue and we'd seen it moving about the house at times. The connection to the "demons" or whatever was actually my Grandfather? Not the clothing.

  changeling,

  I know, I think it's awful as well.

  After all I based my life on the generation teaching.

  leavingwt,

  What do you think happened to my father the night he turned out the light and something scared the hell out of him pushing past in the dark into the kitchen. When he came out onto the landing and saw something in the same place on the stairs i'd seen it but not told him?

  Could you explain the placebo effect?

  I could google it, but your probably better at it I think.

  Thank you for your thoughts.

  "Why the hell would a "Demon" possess a jigsaw puzzle?"

  Exactly! what are they up to.

  I don't know it wasn't a good time.
