  Do you Remember 2nd & 4th Saturday Magazine Day?

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think it may have been in the mid '80s a new arrangement was started for the 2nd and 4th saturday of every calendar month.

  they were designated "magazine days" and the idea was to place as many as possible with 30-60 second presentations.

  personally i hated feeling like a magazine seller, i wanted to talk to people.. i think this, and the release of the "reasoning book" was the beginning of the end of jehovah's witnesses as evangelists..

  Bruja ...I remember you very clearly from your 1st post

  on the Newbie thread, and feel a connection to you!

  Realize that you do still exist, you did have another life

  at another time .... family, friends, work, house......

  they are all still part of who you are ...it is not gone!

  Your words are still here......

  "I live in Spain in the area they call the 'Costa del Sol' ('Coast of the Sun' or 'Sunny coast') and I'm a witch (yep, that's what I wrote, I'm a white witch) and the Spanish word for 'witch' is 'bruja'... there you go, I'm the Witch of the Sun, or Sunny Witch

  Gather all those strengths back into yourself dear Sunny.

  Close your eyes and picture how full you are and

  powerful.

  Maybe the intraspection that you are doing ...

  is telling you to have another look to see what is

  your next adventure.

  Wishing you & your hubby, only good things Sunny!

  Planning to voice dissesnt next year

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i plan to voice my dissent after our next discussion of the generation teaching coming in april.

  obviously i will avoid incriminating myself.

  but, i feel it's a perfect time for me to question the credibility of the gb considering most people at our hall are old enough to remember the 1995 flip flop.

  I remember the preaching seemed so futile, in

  the last days before I got 'TTATT'. I kept wondering

  why I was trying so hard to find new biblestudies,

  when I knew if they ever came to the hall, no one

  would bother with them anyway! Yes I felt

  embarrassed too!

  thanks to all of the friends here at jwn who commented and encouraged me on my 1st and 2nd post.

  it was pointed out that my 1st post was on page 5 of the recent elders thread and that i should properly introduce myself with a new thread.

  the lightgrowsbrighter name is somewhat of play on words.

  Separation of the sheep and goats

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  separating of the sheep and the goats you can live forever in paradise on earth, 1982, p 183, states: since christ returned and sat down on his heavenly throne, all humankind has been on judgment... during the presentjudgment people are being separated as goats to christs left hand or as sheep to his right.. the wt of jan. 1, 1988, p 16, confirmed this: yes, all mankind is being scrutinized to see who are sheep and who are goats.... the messages are broadcast by human mouthpieces under angelic direction.

  a person is identified as a sheep or as a goat by the way he responds to the angelic messages.

  during this 20 th century, only jehovahs witnesses have cooperated with the angels in this vital work.. .

  Yes they now teach that christ will be separating

  the sheep & the goats after the great tribulation!

  If it was not us doing it all those years, you may well

  ask......what were we really doing? Especially since

  the 'generation will by no means pass away' ...actually

  passed away! The last 130yrs was a complete waste of

  time & energy!(the whole thing of course is a waste of time)
