  i was just thinking about this.

  having been raised "in the truth" post-1975, i didn't grow up with any specific year in mind.

  yes, there was the notion of "this generation will by no means pass away," but by the time i was old enough to think about that concept, the people who were born in 1914 (to stretch it out as far as possible, as the society ultimately did) were still only in their 60's.

  I remeber it being talked a lot in 2008 with the recession. But by then I mentally checked out before leaving in November of 2008.I wonder what the Jw's are saying Now with the Arab protests and the protests at home.

  do you feel that something has changed within god's organization?

  have you noticed that in the past several years there has been a more authoritarian spirit displayed in the publications and from the platform?

  i am in the beginning stages of a fade away and wanted to express my thoughts.

  I noticed around 2006-2007 that many people my age were leaving due to doubts.So naturally I started having a lot of doubts myself and left in November of 2008.

  do any of you remeber any talks that were creepy in nature.for example i remember a talk where a brother said "when the end comes your friends and family will be against you" now if that is not crazy i don't know what is.i remember alot of talks regarding bible prophecy and the end times.all of this did not help reinforce the sense of fear since it was 2007-2008 and the united states was going through a recession.this just proved to be fuel for their talks.give good experiences of any talks that you have had that proved to be either weird or very creepy..

  here's a youtube video of the conclusion of knorr's public talk at the 1958 intl convention combined yankee stadium & polo grounds.

  you know, the dc that good jws are supposed to get all tingly about when you mention that 1/4 million of them were in the same place.

  the whole thing is non-remarkable, standard, "ain't the new order gonna be great" drivel.. turn the sound down.
