i have a few questions about 1975. i was born after 1975, so i don't know too much about the armageddon prediction.
There was an intense hype about 1975. For me personally, I couldn't accept it. We have been taught that no man knows the day and year the end would arrive, so how could the organization know? I went about my life the same as I'm doing right now.

haven't been around here for ages, thought i'd pop back in and say hi.. my hubbie met sass my frass over the weekend.
i've never met her b4, small world thing, her friends are his friends, etc, etc.. .
funny how things happen, anyway he comes home telling me about this ex dub he met and i should add her on facebook, after adding her i realized i knew her from here.. well i've been spending the last few hours on here looking at old posts.
Keep up the good work. I hope others read your post, and make the necessary adjustments.

this question became an off-topic sidetrack in another thread.
i thought it might be worth some debate so posted here .
the debate is basically between mainstream geological understanding of the earth's history and "young earth creationism" in particular with how the evidence relates to the occurrence of a global flood in the recent past.. a couple of points from the yec website www.icr.org are raised as examples in order to kick things off .
What difference does it make, is our every day life dependent on knowing the answer? What came first, the chicken or the egg?

ok, i'm one.
to those who do not know the term, it is a reference [from people from other us states], to discribe auto drivers from massachusetts.. dc.
Oh, my mistake, I always thought it was "Tax-achusetts"

You mean, without the "M"

when i was growing up most of the jws around me were poor and lower middle class.
some were middle class, but very few were upper middle class.
only (maybe) about 1% were college educated.
SECURITY!

as it pertains to evolution or creation?
with modern science looking at the construction of the human body they have found some organs that are no longer necessary for function, and believe they are carry overs from evolution.
with this in mind, and potential flaws in our design, if we were created by an all knowing, highly advanced god, should we not have been "built" better?.
If one believes in evolution, produce somehting that is better than what we presently have.

in 1925, judge rutherford penned an article of extreme controversy titled the birth of the nation.. the editorial committee (russell had created) would not approve it.. .
ruthford moved swiftly to remove them!
he then hid his massacre cleverly:.
Terry, for the older generation it was 1914, 1925, etc, for the newer generation it's 1975.

but i want to educate myself.
like all jw's, i didn't give a shit about those sorts of things, unless there was an article in the magazine we were placing that month.
and even then, a very shallow understanding is all that i wanted or needed to 'place' the magazine.
sammielee24, good one.
