How Will They End 1914 Teaching?

by EmptyInside in

i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.

instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .

they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

One WTower recently said Jesus three Satan out of heaven about 1914

other publications have said the recent term ‘about 1914’

when I was pioneering I used to say look how the world changed with the first WW but this was early in 1914

New blood card system in March

by Indoubtbigtime in

there is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .

the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.

i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.

I’m in doubt big time about the GBody since they pushed the vaccines on so many Jdubs who didn’t want them but only went and took them because they thought they should follow direction even if they don’t agree with it.

that’s why I doubt the GB right now

but pretty much everything else I love and fear Jehovah and he said to abstain from blood so I will be getting the new blood cards

i don’t want any vaccinated blood

Staying in physically for all the benefits

by Indoubtbigtime in

i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.

also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .

there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

Things are often not what they appear to be. They designed to give a false impression. To bend logic and create an illusion to fool your mind. The onus is on deception and false impression. Often to force you to see the world in a way someone else wants you to. This is what I term a perception deception. The current issue with Covid-19 is one of these instances. As was Brexit, the Pulse Night Club, the Boston Bombings, The War In Iraq, ISIS and also 9/11. That is just the tip of the iceberg. NASA does it all the time with Mars, The Moon and its exploration of space. Science does it. Medicine does it.

Indeed just about everything we are taught about life in school is a perception deception. Our true nature is hidden from us. We are deceived with our perception about our minds, our bodies and also life after the illusion known as death. There is little in this world that is not a perception deception.

Elders are no longer teachers

back in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.

you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.

then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

Zoom changed everything it’s all so relaxed now

many on the school don’t come to in person they just do their items on zoom

elders often have an excuse for not coming to meetings think they have COVID or something or just say I’m not sure so to be on the safe side I will stay home again

the only items that can’t be done on zoom are Q&A unless everyone is on zoom and there is no in person which still happens from time to time

Punk now it’s just skipped, if the person isn’t there and not on zoom or technical problems more likely they just go into the the next item and the meeting finishes that bit early.

Technical problems is always a good excuse “I was all prepared but my internet went down” if you forgot you had an item🤣

It’s certainly getting easier for elders and mini servants

yes you could take a watchtower or congregation book study without any preparation as it’s all just regurgitating what’s on the page

there is a real problem now if not enough appointed men who want to serve. Cost of living crisis has made it worse.

it has to be made very easy these days, even taking the midweek chairman is easy enough. You are supposed to prepare every item in case someone can’t do it but they often just miss it out and finish early

Ex-Jehovah's Witness recounts her disfellowshipping and family estrangement in today's Huffington Post. A poignant read.

by Balaamsass2 in

a thoughtful read in today's huffington post.

it reminded me of how glad i am that 1st gen and i left the cult together and worked on keeping our closest relationships alive.

it wasn't easy.
