i was cleaning out a closet today and came across some book bags.
when i went through them i found one of those bic pens that has the four different colours of ink, red, black, green and blue.
i used to use them to mark my wt different colours for the a and b portion of the answers etc.. anyone else use these?.
Firstly.
I read this thread and thought "Hey Katie's back!!" and then I realised that it was a resurrected thread
Anyone know where she's got to?
Secondly.
I NEVER used coloured pens or anything. It's nearest thing to a phobia I've got. I can't bring myself to mark/deface a book - even at WT! It used to make me cringe to see all the markers, highlighters and underlining.
ray franz mentioned in crisis of conscience that in 1980 schroeder, klein, and suiter proposed changing the start of "this generation" from 1914 to 1957. as the "this generation" doctrine has since mysteriously morphed any date associated with it is moot.
however, as time marches on without the developments anticipated by the gb may they again pick a new year, this time for the invisible enthronement of christ, in an attempt to buy time and regain credibility?
what dates or historical events would be likely choices?
You've surprised me there Zico (aren't you too young to remember Zico!)
I thought that they'd faded it even tho they still officially believe it. They must be mad still putting it in print

I've been out since Sept '99 but effectively they've ALREADY dropped 607 haven't they?
They still say Jerusalem was destroyed then but hasn't the 2520 days stuff been dropped from all recent books? When they replaced the "Live Forever" book with the "Knowledge" book they dropped the sections that explained the chronology linking 607 to 1914 along with the "generation" and just used the "signs" as evidence.
Have any publications after 1995 had the "chronology" in?

Definitely.
The reasoning will be ridiculous. But so was the "Generation" change in '95 and they all swallowed that.
They've no choice. It'll look stupid to hold to it
i'm am so heart broken to see my boyfriend with so many internal strugles.
he is a good man, a good god fearing man and this is why it has been so difficult for him to leave the jw's religion.
we love each other so much and we want to be married but he fears the consequences of marring somebody who is not a jw.
Just to be clear here, you have been together for 7 years . . .as in "together and currently having a sexual relationship?"
If so the poster above's comment has some validity. He must have lied to them to get re-instated.
Thats not a judgemental statement just what the info you've given in your two posts seems to suggest.
I think you're instinctive desire to get him out is right.
Hypothetically, if you said it's "Them or Us" who would he choose?
...but i can't say anything more right now.
still, it's amazingly, wonderfully, ain't the sky a gorgeous shade of blue today kind of news.
wish me luck... .
The mermaid comment was Sad Emo on my loggin!!!
the whole objective of the wts is to print as many books and magazines and sell them house to house with free labor from its members.. looking at these other ministries,they too print as many books as possible and sell them to it's members and viewing audience.the donations they take in are in the millions.
some of these ministers are payed a huge salary and live in massive homes which have been shown on television.. my questions are: don't all religions use their members for gains in the name of god?
don't all religions own massive properties,schools,and personal properties all in the name of god?
Fair point.
I can't abide Benny Hinn
I agree Joel Osteen is a bit sugary, but Ok
I like Joyce Meyer. She's nothing like my minister tho

LT is right.
You've mentioned about half a dozen TV evangelists, just over half of whom are a bit wacky.
But I'll be at a Churches Together meeting in Halifax (very small town - approx 90000) with 30+ ministers, none of whom fit your stereotype and none of whom have a jet or earn £350k

My guess is, he and this lady got together, doing the physical deed of love .... and she got pregnant .That, or my first guess: he captured the mermaid.
Maybe he got the mermaid pregnant?
apr km insert.
"even during leisure time , such as when going out to eat after the programme , we should dress as befits ministers... and should not wear such clothing as jeans , shorts or t-shirts.
what a witness this will give to the community.".
Dont be ridiculous LT
Ask yourself . . .
What would JESUS wear to a post assembly gathering
