2 months of downers.
by LouBelle ini've had a very difficult 2 months since my uncle has died.
it is not becasue of his death, it just so happend to follow his death and that is the time line.. i've always been a strong woman, from little, i had to stand on my own two feet and not lean on anyone - and i that is how i tick.. each instance has hit me financially and has been piled high on my plate.
there have been days when i thought i should end it all and literally take my own life - if i had something quick at my disposal, i know i wouldn't be here now.

What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?
by minimus ini believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

The world is passing away but He that does the will of God remains forever - 1Jo. 2:17
by mankkeli inthis was taken from the watchtower 1975, august 15. paragraphs 12&13.
12 resources and abilities that we might possess should be used to advance kingdom interests, rather than letting them serve as hindrances in the race for life.
for instance, if you have an extra house, could you sell it and use the money to enter the pioneer service instead of working hard to maintain both houses?

Just an update I'm having difficulty getting hold of The Gentile Times Reconsidered, so i thought of using this Brothers site and his research based on said book to prove to myself.
Specifically his original letter to the GB
http://www.607v587.com/websitepage4.htm
Any thoughts on this?
I will definitely still get the book when it is available in printed format.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned but he may feel some sort of jealousy whether consciously or not because you are well to do and he is accepting money from pensioners.
I might be off base.

1914 a 100 Years on.
by Twisty ini was thinking that in 2014 or possibly 2015 a lot of witnesses will start questioning the organisation and we might even see a mass exodus.. i know at a stage i thought 2014 wow a hundred years surely the end will be here by then.. do you think the fact that it will be a 100 years since 1914 might trigger a lot of leaving and questions?.
or possibly they will still follow blindly, especially since the overlapping generations could go till 2070 or something?.
there very well could be a mass exodus type of domino effect since many are there sometimes whole families because of one strong mate/friend/relative, and one seemingly "strong" person leaving could take a few with him and make many more question, thus the domino effect.. thoughts.. .

Thanks for the thoughts I'm agreeing with b.o.c, although i think alot depends on how long each person has been in "the truth" and what they know about its history.
Yes the "society" as a whole came through 1975 but there was serious damage now imagine they had the internet to enlighten them at a time when probably the majority of them had questions and doubts, it might have been the end of the organisation with the domino effect coming into play.
Also it might be the average witness carries more questions around with him now than then
Just some thoughts.
Here is hoping for a catalyst to burst the bubble and get the dominos falling.
