Huh? So if a woman had a child who died at, say, the age of 5, then two years after the death had another child...she would have two generations of children? Her children would not be of the same generation? The dubs are buying this?

Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)
by NoMoreHustle inthis happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.
they say that this is direction from the "branch office".
i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

How sad. They waste hours knocking on doors where no one is home or standing on street corners, yet they don't care if the elderly who have been faithful for years get their "spiritual food". Why won't things like this wake more up? Just so sad. -

How many here believed, down deep in your heart that the end would come in 1975?
by James Mixon ini was straddling the fence on that one, just in case they were right.
i don't recall.
telling anyone this is your last chance.

I could have had a pretty good scholarship for college. I was straight A's, college course in high school, class of 1968, but of course I was the obedient daughter. I have always admired my older sister who went to college and had a successful career in journalism. Fortunately my parents never shunned her or me after I left in 1985. They are both gone now, never dreaming they would have grown old in "this system", fortunately my dad had a good pension from his 40 years at a factory. Those days of company pensions are gone and so many of my boomer generation are retiring with nothing but SS and that doesn't go far.
Because of believing the 1975 hype I got married way too young...I was 21, he was 19. Yikes, that sounds so crazy now. Anyway, we wanted to experience married life and all that goes with it for at least a few years before Armageddon. The marriage lasted 12 years, past 1975, till he decided he didn't want to be married anymore. Hey, just dawned on me, maybe he married me thinking it wouldn't last long! (Funny since he has been married 3 more times since)
So yes, the 1975 hype kept me from college and I married way too young. But all's well that is ending well. No more JWs, a nonJW hubby and raised a beautiful daughter who occasionally says, "Poor mom, you didn't have this or you didn't get to do that". Maybe not, but my daughter did and does!!

I left for good in 1985. I remember always thinking how ridiculous that after 1000 years there would still be a final test. I can't remember some of the books from my final years other than the Babylon the Great book, yuk, and I got rid of most all the literature. I kept a few like Aid to Bible Understanding and All Scripture Inspired. We had a big storm the end of June, power went out, sump pump out, basement ended up with six inches septic water backup. Those books were on bottom shelf of bookcase and you can guess the rest of the story. I guess a fitting end for WT trash. Anyway, thanks for explanation. -

My yoke is easy and my burden is light, unless you're a JW than you will have many strange complicated rules
by adjusted knowledge inthere is this jw husband and wife i knew from the 80's when i was a child.
they got a divorce a few years ago and never remarried.
they are older now and unable to afford to live on their own.

joe134cd I think you solved the mystery of why the elders say nothing about the unusual living arrangements. They are very well off. Betting she gives generously to the cause! -

I'm sorry, I am out of the loop here. Since I have not picked up a Watchtower for 30 years or had the desire (or stomach) to check out jw.org, what exactly is it supposed to depict? The headbands are really funny, is it something from a magazine in the 60's? -

If I don't include all the very sad days when family members died or the very happy days like marriages or the birth of children, you know all the normal events in the circle of life, then I would have to say they were the same day. Although at the time of course I could only see the worst. It was a spring day in 1984 when my childhood sweetheart, then husband of 12 years, the man who I loved more every day, who I was wildly attracted to, who I would have trusted with my life and all I held dear...came to me and said he didn't want to be married anymore. It literally felt like I had been hit in the chest with a hammer. But now looking back, 31 years later, I realize it was the beginning of my escape from the JWs. Had we stayed married I no doubt would still be in since most all our family is in. So looking back on that day and what my life has been since, to steal a line from a famous book: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. What I thought was the worst day of my life was just the beginning of a wonderful, full life to come. -

And as the late, talented, comical song writer and singer Roger Miller said, "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd". Your post made me think of that song. Thanks, now I have that song in my head and I am showing my age.
