Laying on their side for 3 days
by exwhyzee init's been so long since i was at a meeting that i'm beginning to forget a lot of the nonsense i used to know, but does anyone remember how the society used to say that when the gb members were imprisioned around 1919 it fullfilled the prophesy about the prophet laying on his side for 3 days in the roadway ?.
what was that all about and how does their belief regarding their role in fulfilling this prophesy effect the new thinking on the definition of "generation" ?
it seems like they just had to amend the term "generation" in order to keep the year 1914 relevant as well as all the other supposed fullfilments of prophesy they thought they were part of.

Your story about being late because of your wife's hair/mirror time. I forgot about always being at least 5 minutes late because of this. While growing up it was because of my Mom and Sisters and then later it was my Wife. She always turned up looking like she just stepped off a magazie cover (Awake!) but I hated walking in late during the song. Finally towards the end of my JW career, I started refusing to go if we weren't going to be there on time. Many's the time I was all ready to go and just took my suit off and enjoyed my evening at home instead.

Yeah...that's it. They said that their being imprisioned fullfilled that prophecy and this was somehow linked to Satan's ousting from heaven in 1914 I think. Does anyone remember what proof they gave that this was so?
If they ever do drop the 1914 date they will have to drop a few other teachings that are linked to that date as well.
Funny how the truth is so difficult to remember.

So much of the reason why they think they are the one true religion is based on the date 1914 and the part they play in it's fulfillment.
Can anyone refresh my memory on this?

Are the JWs were you are getting worked up over having a to go bag (Armageddon bag) ready?
by life is to short inok where i live in the pacific northwest in january of this year this elder from the hall called a special meeting and gave everyone some papers that he had gotten from some government place on what to put in an emergency bag to grab in case you have to flee your home in seconds.
i thought it was just my husbands hall being all strange and stupid over this.
one older sister said that the elder told everyone they needed three bottles of water for 14 days that is 42 bottles of water plus whatever other stuff they put in there not sure if she got that right because 42 bottles of water is a lot of weight.

I'm in the Seattle area and we are always told to be prepared for a major earthquake by having food medicine water etc stored in our homes and in our cars in case we're on the road when the big one hits. It could be that the JW's are getting prepared for that especially since they think Armegeddon will follow on the heals of a major disaster anyway so they are doubly motivated about being prepared. The thing is, how long can you put off the inevitable. That is, you can't store that much food or water, you'd eventually run out of it in a long term situation like the "tribulation". Anyone who appeared to be surviving would be targeted by those who were without.
Back in the Pre 1975 days. There were people in our hall that had literature buried in plastic soap bottles in their back yards so that when there was a "Ban" on the preaching work or whatever, they'd have a stash of literature to keep them going. I often wondered if some of that stuff is still out there today or if anyone ever found it and wondered what was going on. That would be a great assembly experience or urban legend....someone became a Witness after finding the truth buried in a soap bottle in their back yard.

Would you rather....
by anezthy inif armageddon struck right now.... would you rather be:.
the only jw passenger on a transatlantic jet that now has no pilot and will be crashing into the ocean or,.
the only jw person on a high rise elevator that is now stalled on the 110th floor without any food, power, a/c or communication or,.

I don't know about any of those choices you offer, but it would be a bummer if you were a JW who was battling Cancer, let say, and died a week after entering into the New System because you hadn't grown perfect enough yet to be rid of the disease. Would you be resurrected later with all the rest of the resurrected ones? If so would you have to remain single for all eternity. What happens in the New System when a Coconut drops on your head in the new system. Would it hurt? Would it crack your skull or just bounce off? This wasn't covered in the Watchtower so they never knew what to say when I asked these questions as a kid.

If they didn't drink wine at a Kingdom Hall, they can't go to heaven. the 144,000 didn't start being gathered till Charles Taze Russell gave the go ahead.
