i was discussing with an elder the generation teaching and telling him when jesus christ says in matthew 24:34 “truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.” he was referring to the generation from the first century in 33 ad and these events that were to take place took place with the destruction of jerusalem in 70 ad.
now the elder tells me to go back to a few verses to from verses 29-33 which read: .
“immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30 then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Maybe the Great Teacher wasn't so Great after all.
Seems like the most awesome Jehober and his Son have a hard time getting a clear message out?
Just saying...
i was baptized 30 years ago and have been in the faith for over 35 years.. our organization isn't perfect.
but i'm sick to death of seeing stereotypes about us.
we are not mindless automatons.
If you are sick of lies - I think you must really be sick of yourself.
If you told your elders any of these things you would be DFed on the spot dude:)

hello brothers and sisters am new here , what is the website all about ?.
No Brothers and Sisters here.
I think you wandered away from the pack.
i think it is inevitable.
i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.
now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.
What Machine Learning Robots will really do (not take over the world) but take about 70% of all jobs.
That will be when the Sh#t will really hit the fan, and massive unemployment will be the order of the day.

Well something better than us has to come around eventually.
so i'm at work and go to my vehicle parked outside the empty property i'm working at and an elderly man comes out of next door and we recognise each other from when we were elders in the same circuit.
he is early 80's in age, a jw since the 1960's and so the next generation in age up from me.. he's an outwardly jolly sort and asks how i am etc.
(knows i'm not an elder but thinks i'm pimi) and asks if i want a cup of tea so i go in and sit in his kitchen for my lunchbreak and have a chat.. i have a little fish around and ask about how jw's in his hall are.
This religion creates problems for people so that it can then present them with a solution. Only without the religion there wouldn't be half the problems and they wouldn't be looking to the fantasy solution which never comes.
Xanthippe you are so right.
I just think of the "myriads and myriads" of better decisions I could have made if I didn't think the big A was right around the corner and it didn't matter.
It was so easy to take the easy road, don't work hard, don't think of retirement, or education, or health, or fulfillment.
In some ways, its just as bad as the potheads I knew in school who just gave up on everything, for that quick high.
Just go out in service (easiest job in the world) and do your best at meetings (2nd easiest job in the world).
NONE
a couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.
then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?
seems a rather unusual thing to say.
If it ever comes it will have to do with GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY!
It really is more Mind Control Tactics though.
Creating more distance between the WT & JWs and the rest of the world.
