What was your reaction when first introduced to the "1914" doctrine?
by highdose ini studied the paradise book, you may remember there was a whole chapter it in about the dream, the tree getting chopped down, time, time and half a time etc.
now i was very young ( but of course spirtualy mature (!
) when i studied this but i remember seeing the person explain this doctrine to me and it was like.... " ok now you see this scripture here?

It never made any sense to me at all as a born in. I've always loved history as well, and one thing the dubs always try to pull on unsuspecting potential converts is the ol':
"Can you think of a time with more wars, violence, immorality, food shortages, and disease? Just think of the two World Wars, the threat of nuclear war, the starving kids in Africa, crime, and the AIDS epidemic!"
Convert: "Why, no! Things are really bad these days. Whatever happened to the good old days?"
JW: Exactly. You see, we are living in the last days! The Bible foretold that we would see all these things in Matt 24! blah blah blah"
Even as a child, when they asked that question at meetings my mind would often drift to pages of history books as I began to count off in my head all of the other periods in history when the majority of the things discussed were far worse and more prevalent than our time.
The 1914 doctrine never made much sense to me, but as a born in, the thought of questioning the FDS was unthinkable. I knew that however confusing and convoluted it might be, it had to be true, because the FDS said so! So, I would dismiss the doubts and instead focus my energies on memorizing and being able to recite all of the dogma to the best of my ability. Most of the other JW youth had no clue what 1914 was. As a matter of fact, I bet if you were to do a survey of 15-21 year old JWs, the majority of respondents would have no clue what 1914 is supposed to represent.
It wasn't until I was about 16 or 17 when questions about 1914 became harder and harder to supress.

How the Watchtower MELTDOWN fits in the stream of time
by Terry infrom puritan times there was an urge to expand the kingdom of god on earth by creating as many communities of christians as possible.. this was to be done by setting a "pure" example of utopian harmony.
a "shining city on a hill" with a beacon of light for all nations to see.. perfectionism and personality development was key.. .
it was to be christianity by example!.

#2 - Select the text or UrL you have pasted.
I can't "paste" anything within a post. I copy something and go to paste it here, and it doesn't even show up after I right click and select "paste". So, there's nothing for me to select or highlight or anything at all.

I followed your instructions but the problem is that the link itself doesn't even appear when I paste it. There's no link to "select". It's just invisible. It doesn't even register.
