  History repeated: pre-1975 trend of selling homes to ‘downsize’

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw this thread on reddit.

  i think the reason for this is that the 1975 fiasco is never mentioned in the jw religion.

  nobody mentioned it to me when i came in the years after.. the problem with this is that all the sad stories were never told (or hushed up) of people who sold off homes, etc.

  It took me 25 years before stop blaming others.

  Now, at 51, I left the black / white aproach.

  Shades of grey now.

  Not always a pattern yet, have to work for it.

  It all has to do with the degree of maturity.

  Don't blame, it was you that made a choice.

  I remember a CO at a circuit meeting in the 90's, who stated "those of you who are complaining about not having a good job and income because of wrong choices in 1975, you did it your self! Don't blame the society!", he said.

  When you think about it, he was right. We make our choices, good and wrong.

  Don't blame others.

  Caleb & Sophia - The Watchtower gets weirder

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the latest video release 4/4/22 (lesson 44 'don't give up') in the comic series of caleb & sophia just got weirder.

  the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.

  it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.

  How far do we get away from 1914

  by PimoElder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how far do we get away from 1914 before they have a new light and admit it was all wrong?.

  they cling to the old theory of the 77 week prophecy from the wrong date that jerusalem was destroyed .

  with the overlapping generations nonsense still we are getting too far away from 1914. what will they say if we get to the 2030s and they still cling to 1914?.

  Current JW's don't know anything about JW history and older doctrine.

  1914 and other years are not relevant anymore.

  It's all about the social aspect now.
