  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  First, I'm sorry I did not read all of your responses.

  Some thought on comments --

  There have been sooo many changes attributed to "New Light" that most JWs now see "New Light" as Joe Hoover's direction. I's a good thing instead of a mistake by the Borg. (Great PR work WT)

  Most JW's don't know anything has changed. Most JW's do not know what they believe as far as doctrine. Almost NONE of them actually READ the WT or the publications They are spiritually lazy. Those who were NOT lazy, are here. I was working with a fellow elder D2D after the 1995 change and he was still preaching/teaching the OLD doctrine. Even he DID NOT understand the 1995 change.

  1995 is 25 years ago. WT never refers to any changes. They just go on like Joe Hoover's Borg has been foretelling The End now for over 100 years (like that is a good thing)! (WTF?) So the VAST MAJORITY of active JW's have no idea that anything has changed.

  Sorry, Simon. I think we need a "Sarcasm Button" to click.

  Yes, I'm certain the Branch has created AN ILLUSION of being broke in Australia and have already sent all their money to "Mother".

  Likely the Branch has had enough time to send all of their excess funds out of Australia. Poor religion is damn near broke, so they can only kick in a few coins (like the poor widow).

  Sep. 2021 Broadcast: more money

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.

  to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.

  first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.

  The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.

  a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

  13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

  Is this New Light coming or just some crackpot?

  by pistolpete in

  2. beliefs

  this experience was posted about a year ago.

  it seems like a crackpot co was giving his prediction of what "might possibly happen in the future" .

  now it seems like he wasn't such a crackpot after all.. quote.

  Brother, “What If” the Governing Body tells us.....................

  WHAT IF being the key words in this whole diatribe.

  Sounds to me what a bunch of Macallan sipping CO's (and Elder "heavies") might sit around a speculate. Similarly I recall a couple of pompous ass elders sitting around speculating that 120 years (just like Noah's Day) was the real time line for Armageddon, thus taking us to 2034. They were pretty open about thinking they were just as smart and studied as the GB. (And I'm not saying they were wrong. Just saying.)

  You can be sure whatever happens, there will be a resounding call for MORE MONEY!

  Some things never change.

  Deut 18:18-22

  18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”

  21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

  JW's have failed in getting even ONE prediction correct.
