hello, i have been offline for quite some time and i know this might have been discussed a great deal, but its burning me, hence i am raising this issue again.

this is also to help the newbies and lurkers.

i thought the 1914 generation would have long passed by at this point and time, and believe they have come up with a new spin to the whole generation issue.

This generation will by now means pass away..."

i haven't been to a meeting (other than some cousins' weddings) for well over twenty years.

i've always wondered what the fds was going to do with the "generations" thing once pretty much everybody who had been alive in 1914 is gone.

i get that they've come up with some "new light" about this topic, but when i ask my mom (who's still in) i only get "well, the new understanding is complicated...".

i guess i'll never find out what it is like to fade slowly since i chose the instant route.. just wondering which one is easier, emotionally.. .

Advice needed please.

i've been a lurker here for about a year and a half.

i am a baptised jw(born-in).. i was a publisher in good standing until about last december when i stopped putting in fs time as well as attending meetings and conventions including this year's memorial.. i no longer believe in the teachings of the watchtower society.. about 3 weeks ago an elder and a ms from my cong came to ny house uninvited and told me they were just checking on me and wanted to find why i haven't been to the meetings for such a long time.

they told me it was not an official visit, but sort of hinted to me that if i don't show up then i might be getting an official one soon.
