  New Generation understanding tied to Freddie Franz

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also don't know if this has been mentioned previously.. our speaker yesterday, gb member br.

  pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to fred franz's lifetime.. did anyone else catch this?.

  evidently (and i'm paraphrasing), anyone anointed after franz's death in 1992 is not of the 'generation'.. 5th.

  so one of the elders called asking for my time.

  i lied, somewhat.

  yes i did talk to people about the "truth" but not in favourable terms.. has anyone simply stated, "i have not been in service this month"?

  Can I ask elders a question without getting in trouble?

  by NiceDream in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently i found no scriptural evidence to support 607 or therefore 1914. and the new overlapping generation really bothers my conscience because i don't see how it is scripturally supported.. .

  if i write a letter to bethel, or talk with local elders, i am afraid of getting df'd because i don't want to cause family conflict (with my spouse's family, not mine).

  i asked my spouse if it would be ok if i talked with an elder because i want answers, but don't want to cause family problems.

  WT September 15, 2010 - The Faithful and NOT SO Discrete Slave

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt of september 15, 2010 (kool-aid version) has two articles on unity.

  one is titled: unity identifies true worship and the other christian unity glorifies god.

  of course it is more uniformity, not true unity.

  Meeting experience

  by gutted in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this weeks service meeting was typical.. "where were you?

  " "i'm concerned about you".

  then the typical song and dance of the parts/talks, all recycled notions of doing better in the service.

  Why should I have to sign a letter saying I want to disassociate ?

  by troubled mind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't understand why the elders want this letter so badly ....for one i don't remember signing a contract to become a jehovah's witness ,why do i need to resign ?.

  also i was baptised in 1978 before the baptism questions changed , i dedicated myself to god not an organization .

  my vow was to follow the direction by holy spirit as revealed to me through the bible, not the watchtower ...... if i belonged to the luthern church and quit going after three yrs they drop your name off the member list ........but if i chose to come to easter or christmas service everyonre would still talk to me i just wouldn't be a member any more .. .
