  that'll teach me to eat beans on toast, yesterday!!!.

  the wind is really picking up and the town is clearing as everyone is getting sent home from work.. we're expecting 100mph gusts here, on the west coast of scotland.. i'm gonna go home and get cosy, with a roaring coal fire.

  it's just as well our houses are built for severe weather!.

  I took the "1914 Generation" prophecy seriously. Did you?

  i was born in 1964, a convenient 50 years after 1914. even in my early teens i was doing the sums.

  i had a worse case scenario figured out - if the 1914 generation could apply to babies and even if they lived to be a 120, i would still only be about 70 years old after they'd all died!

  i figured that i was part of the first wave of 'jehovah's people' that really would live to see the new order - guaranteed!!

  I remember so many bible studies I would teach the whole 607-1914 thing. (remember that chapter in the old Truth? book?!) When I learned 607-1914 was not based on scientific/archeology fact but WT BS, that was when the house of cards fell hard for me.

  But I've picked myself up and dusted myself off and learned critical thinking. And boy am I free!

  Welcome Freedom Frog.

  Yes, you'll slow down in a couple of years. At first you feel like you need to prove everything. Then you feel empty because you used to be going 90 miles an hour (meetings, meetings, meetings, service, meetings, etc). But one day, you will really feel free when you don't have to prove anything and just enjoy life.

  Neutrality of the WT

  by blindfool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the issues i have with the wt teachings is that it is taught that a true believer must not engage in warfare.. the problem is: evil does exist and someone must be willing to stop evil.

  if not good people then who will?.

  many years ago, i asked a sister this question: "if no one had stopped hitler (the best example of evil at the time) what would have happened?

  Didn't Jesus give the example that if you are "employed" to carry a solder's gear a mile, carry it 2 miles? He didn't say to not carry it at all.

  So as a Christian, you let your conscience be your guide, imho.

  Good question, though, Blindfool.
