  This Generation/ 1975

  by TxNVSue2023 in

  2. beliefs

  i was born in 1977 & came in as a convert in 2003 --- so i have no idea what went on before my time.. however i have been familiar with the scriptures of "nobody knows the day or hour" & " it will come as a theif in the night" meaning that it was sure but unpredictable time.

  how could anyone belive that anyone else ( organization or not) put a date on it?.

  also what was the significance of 1975 anyway?

  Thanks for the link! I'm speechless! They were specifically saying not to plan ahead past 1975 and then turned around and said that it was the rank and file who were the ones who made those decisions. Wow! Just wow.

  The kids born in the 70s ( like me) are known as Generation X. We had our childhood in the 80s & teen years/young adulthood in 90s. We had an analog childhood but digital adulthood. The last generation without cell phones, internet or social media. I have always had the belief that the end would come during my Generation ( just my belief- not taught by GB).that those is the true meaning of this generation will not pass away before A.

  So I'm 46 and if my lifespan is 80 years I'm guessing it will happen anytime between now and 34 years from now. My general prediction based on how fast the world is spinning toward the toilet. The internet and technology has sped things up and society has declined rapidly since 1975.

  Real reasons behind this change?

  by Gorb in

  just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

  a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

  maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

  Things JWs Say That Don't Mean What They Think It Means

  by NotFormer in

  2. friends

  sometimes things don't come across the way the speaker intended.. years ago there was an ad by the whitegoods company fisher and paykel.

  they showed them going to great lengths to get customer feedback on what was important to them.

  one customer said that she wanted it to be easy to get her appliances serviced when they broke down.

  I say No the world is a cult. The cult of Satan.

  No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!

  by BoogerMan in

  2. beliefs

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  I knew it! I knew someday they would have to remove the time reporting because it's unsustainable & unscriptual.

  How yourEx wife lives her life is not of your concern. Get rid of your selfish controlling ego and let it go. It's not worth your energy nor is it your place. Focus on your own relationships & your own life.

  Mental health treatment

  by kidchameleon43 in

  i'm actually not a jw, but i've always been curious about the religion since it always had an esoteric vibe to it.

  i was raised catholic, but more than half my life i've struggled with my faith, and therefore, i've defaulted to the agnostic position.. i'm sorry, let me get to my question.

  i've struggled with mental illness for most of my life.

  It's discouraged but not banned by JW. It makes sense - they don't really help much anyway. The best you can do for mental health issues it what the Bible says to do for everyone: keep a healthy mind & body ( be selective about what you put in both) & take and live life one day at at time ( don't take on too much of a mental burden).

  Sign of the Last Days

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the sermon on the mount, jesus foretold that earthquakes “in one place after another” would be part of the sign of the last days clímaxing in the great tribulation.. what could jesus possibly have meant?

  using a phone app nowadays, there are earthquakes detected in one place after another but is this what jesus meant and did they have so many earthquakes throughout the centuries affter his prophecy or are these modern day detected earthquakes unique to this epoch?

  how can we be sure unequivocally that modern day earthquakes are part of the sign fulfilling bible prophecy?.
