i was wondering since you guys have put some serious time in with the wt, how it felt "back in the days" when major changes occured within the org.. in recent times, it seems that only a few people stop to really think about the changes in doctrine that the wt makes, e.g.

generation theory, the voting issue and the certain parts of blood that are now acceptable.. did the same happen in your time?

did little or anyone at all complain, murmur, get "cold" or simply just leave when certain changes were made?

Did the same happen in your time? Did little or anyone at all complain, murmur, get "cold" or simply just leave when certain changes were made? For example, were any of you around for the constant changes made regarding organ transplant?

How did people react to that? Not accepting an organ transplant and dying only to have the WT change their opinion a few years later can stir up comments in the R&F. Did it?

How did you feel?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that I have not heard anything as stupid as what this moron nyt wrote:
"and being half spanish and the most athletic kid in school...people
didnt think about "fronting" on me."

Is that supposed to mean that us hispanics intimidate the rest of the races?

You are so goddamned stupid that you're not even using the slang "fronting" in the correct sense, idiot!

You must be some type of computer geek with 2 dozen pens in a pocket protecter in your breast shirt pocket.

You try to come accross as some tough guy but I can see now that your not. The only New Yorkers that I know that can't speak the slang but TRY to, are the geeks.

Nice try though. BTW don't kid yourself, you know as much as we do that you don't apply any Biblical priciples...not unless you lead a "double life".

the april 1st issue of the watchtower invites those who have some 'serious concealed sin' to report to the "loving christian elders".. it reminds the r&f that they (the elders) "will not treat lightly your desire to experience the restoration of a good relationship with your heavenly father".

oh yeah?

we all know that this is code for a judicial committee.

Patriot

I hear you Biggs.

Its really sad. These young people can grow up to be productive adults and be respected in the general community. But yet although they can be married for 50 years and be decent people, the WT will still brandish them as Df'd and not worthy of the Jw's even talking to them. Incredible ain't it?

Thanks Oz,

But don't you guys think that with the loss of many publishers and many interested ones, that they are prepared to be leniant?

I heard several stories from my local hall which leaves me to beleive that the WT doesnt want to lose any more people.

Let me spell it out for you nyt, if you behave like a junior high-schooler then thats the way we have to talk tom you like.

Hell, maybe I am stuck in Jr. H.S. but I'll tell you one thing, the freedom of being a "kid" and saying whats on my mind is better than having "big brother borg" dictating what I can or cannot say.

If you were attacked first, then why not turn the other cheek as your master instructs you to? Nobody wants to start with you but I'll be damned if you're going to "break" on LDH.

Now let me get into fifth grade mode for you:
Anytime your ready nyt, just come uptown to the heights (thats in Manhattan in case you did not know). Don't worry I'll leave my shield and pistol and Bart at home.

I havent kicked someones ass in a long time and it would really take some stress off.

Game?

What's wrong with 1985?

I'm personally in the 50's (state of mind at least).

So what's up fake ass new york player?

I can see that being in the borg has not let you enjoy the pleasures of having a woman with long lucious hair.

To the older Poster's

and i mean older in the literal sense not time in h20 or jwd and with some serious time put in with the wt.. how do you feel?

how do you or did you face the facts of the wt and dismiss everything and everyone that you have believed in and has been your friend for so many years?.

how do you make up for lost time?

Patriot

Thank you all for your answers.

I find it interesting to hear your responses. I have always respected the older people on the world. You do have more experience in life than we do.

The reason I wanted to see your frame of mind is because I have to admit that although Im only 30, find myself wondering if Im doing "the right thing".

Thanks Sam Beli and Beck you guys are amazing.

Wasasister: I hope you did not think I was implying that older people cant do anything..I did not want to make anybody feel badly about their age. Thanks.

LOL Tanalyst!

Larc and Undecided and the rest, you guys really helped. I'm a sucker for listening to stories and experiences that older people have of life and of "how things used to be".

My Dad used to tell me how much different things were but he's gone now so I really don't mind having others telling me now.

is it still through his stomach like my mom taught me?

come on guys fess up....do you want a woman who can cook?

personally i love cooking...something about being in a hot kitchen...kneading bread...the way it feels under your hands...then sticking it in a hot oven and watching it rise...slathering butter all over it and eating it with your fingers...uuummm is there anything better?

Patriot

Negative, at least not for me. It's being freaky when the light are out and we're alone.

Damn the food, as long as I get a lap dance or two then.....oops did I go to far? my bad.

Anyway, I always have a menu or two lying around just in case (wink, wink*).
