Within the last couple months, Stephen Lett announced that we are now living in the "final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days".
I'm not sure that qualifies as New Light. Haven't they been saying that for over 100 years?
a new fox poll says biden is up by 12 percentage points.
of course, most other polls say trump will be trounced this time around.. do you think the polls might be right this time?
.
Has anyone taken the pulse of RBG lately? How long could they keep her on life support?
We need at least one more Trump appointment!
i have a niece who is trying to get pregnant.
she was telling me her husband had to go to a room with porn in it and masturbate into a cup to get tested.
i never thought of this before but but how would a jw handle this.
That's one of those things that would be better to STFU about in JW Land. Just as is the practicing of oral sex.
(Of course, once you do it enough, it should no longer be a "practice". Right?)
the sopranos was my number one show.
to me it was the best series ever.
for a good laugh, i still enjoy the beverly hillbillies reruns.

Madam Secretary
The Good Wife
All are "binge-worthy" in these times of CV-19.
stock tip: now might not be the time to invest in deodorant companies.

that stinks .
Skipping deodorant surely aids in social distancing!

Trump's interview with Chris Wallace was a disaster.
The best thing that Trump should have towards his reelection is Biden. But so far, Biden's handlers are keeping him locked down and out of public view. I think that is the only way they can keep Biden from putting his foot in his mouth repeatedly.

but one i remember was a full on dyed in the wool believer how was a farmer.
around 1975 he sold his farm moved his family to a very rural place and waited for the end to come.
he ended up working for his brother in law hanging drywall.
I can think of lots of JWs who didn't save a dime of what they earned because they reasoned that the scripture says they will "throw it in the streets", thus no use saving it. Most of them are living off of Social Security and other Government assistance. Some of them seem to know every free welfare scheme there is. Yet, they would tell you that Joe Hoover has "taken care of them".
the latest wt celebrates the 100th anniversary of 1920 with an article about what happened that year:.
on march 21, 1920, joseph f. ruther-ford .
spoke on the subject“millions now living will never die.” the bi-ble students left no stone unturned in theirquest to invite interested ones to this event.they rented one of the largest theaters innew york city and distributed some 320,-000 invitations.the public responded beyond all expecta-tions.
As I recall, those MILLIONS are now ALL DEAD.
I think the strategy of the WT has been to "celebrate" the 100th anniversaries of 1914, 1918, and now 1920.
To NOT do so, would look like they were "hiding" them. This way it appears they are something to celebrate.
been reading here for a few years.. 4th gen jw, born and raised, served for a few years which was the catalyst for me.
the politics, backstabbing, slandering and coercive tactics in particular caused a constant internal struggle.
i started researching and focused only on the stories of ex-elders/servants to see if i was the only one - i wasn't.. the rest is history..
Welcome! But don’t you mean four overlapping generations?
