  is 100 years a long time?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws concept of time is definitley bizarre.

  on a website recently some brothers argued that if the end didn't come for another 100 years then that was not really a long time.

  jws always look at time in relation to god's supposed standard of a 1000 years being just one day but perhaps they should revise their estimates to human timescales.. human life expectancy is on average 70 to 80 years.

  • How about asking them what this is about? So u can prepare. If they wont, then tell them you will not be able to attend until they do.
  • If it just a Shepard call then have them set it up with you alone, since u are an adult.
  • If it is just a sheparding call you can opt out by saying u are doing well and will let them know when u feel the need for encouragement.

  If it is something-else have them state what it is beforehand, and if it directed at u then the meeting will be with u alone.

  Be kind yet firm....be humble yet assure them this is your decision and not anyone else's.

  They know why they want to talk to u so you should know why beforehand.

  Quote this: 1 Cor. 14:33, 40: “God is a God, not of disorder, but of peace. . . . Let all things take place decently and by arrangement.”

  Tell them this is how you conduct yourself, and u choose to know what their theme for this meeting is. Is it encouragement, fact finding or? Let them tell u what it is then respond with kindness yet be resolved...if it's for encouragement and u dont want it , tell them you will reach out if needed.

  If its sonething else...then you will need time to prepare for it.

  Did not go...sorry no feed back.

  However where I work most are active JWs and no one is talking. At least not to me. There are X-BetAllLights, elders, ms, pioneers, oh and a few inactive ones like me. I have tried to talk about this months study articles but no one wants to talk...as of last week.

  Maybe tomorrow will be different after this weeks Wt study. One of the older ones (62) said Friday he was hoping Armageddon would get here soon. So many in this age bracket and older still firmly believe they will be saved by past promises from Jehovah the Org.

  i have been rather scarce i know, i've been so very busy with work that i don't really have much time to log on, and we had someone come into our home and steal our laptop, so haven't been able to log on at home either.. work is still going very well.

  it's not easy cold selling, but i've had a good few ads come in and keep me ticking over.

  every now and again i pop because i simply don't know what else management want me to do, i'm doing everything i can.

  For Anyone With the WT CD ROM

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my curiosity is killing me, and i don't have access to a cd rom right now, so here's my question:.

  how many "hits" does "144000" get in the magazines over the past 5 years or so?.

  my prediction is that mention of "the 144000" has been decreasing steadily over the past few years, as they move towards phasing out a literal interpretation of this scripture.. thanks,.
