  a lot of my ex fellow servants must be now in their seventies, what can you do?.

  no children no money no home.

  it is so sad.. so many decided not to have children as the end was right around the corner and that was decades ago.

  The prodigal son was ok. Dad looked after him. Likewise if the penny drops with any of them that they are eating the proverbial pig food and decide to leave, for the right reasons they'll be ok. If they stay in it'll be a different matter. You really do have to leave WT for life to radically improve.

  One thought - if someone chooses to spill the beans of what they know, there might be a living in it. But maybe even that will not be required. Its funny how well things work out sometimes when you do the best you know to do the right thing. You cannot always second guess what is going to happen.

  Resuming door to door September 1st

  gb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.

  what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.

  zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

  Road to Nowhere - you are right petrol is expensive and pioneers are poor. So they might start using those communal electric bikes and aim to go from charge point to charge point. Maybe it'll be an incentive to find friendly return visits so they can literally recharge their batteries.

  They don't like the cart crashes. And before door-to-door stopped people were being filmed as they arrived at the door with their mobile devices. I expect there will be more videos of them. Might even be able to track and trace by their faces and compare/contrast how they deal with householders questions.

  TV and the Media

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i look at tv and the media as all fiction.. i wonder if the media is now just a tool to cauterise the brain and zombify us?

  i'm sure the uk's bbc does.

  it seems to be a tool to brainwash people to buy into latest agenda or trend that must be followed.....or you're an outcast like a disfellowshipped one.

  Geographical inaccuracies you cant shake

  by GabeAthouse in

  2. friends

  where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?

  1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

  if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

  A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

  and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

  in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

  Fisherman - there is one born every minute. The question is are you naive enough to fall for the dawn of the latest spin/story?

  Here's a quote from this website 14 years ago, by Athanasius. Note DAWN Bible Student. The dawn of what exactly? The dawn of a new tall story about pyramids.

  Athanasius14 years ago

  After leaving the JWs I attended a few Dawn Bible Student meetings. It was not with the idea of joining their group but more of a historical interest to see if they were so violently anti-JW as the Watchtower claimed. The group I met with was very kind and never once mentioned the JWs except to say that one of the members of their group was an ex-JW. Anyway, their study books were Russell's Studies in the Scriptures, but the discussion was much more open than a Watchtower study at the KH. They also had birthday parties after the service.

  However, not all Bible Student groups keep the 606 or 607 BC date. The Pastoral Bible Institute accepts 586 BC as the date for Jerusalem's destruction and the beginning of the Gentile Times. Of course RR is the resident Bible Student scholar and he has a wealth of information on the movement, its beliefs and its history. He has been very helpful in answering questions about Russell and the Bible Students.
