I remember reading these article in the bound volumes at home when I was 7 years old.
The time everything was easy.
I did not follow these advise. Now a top level manager.

i’ve been invited to the dedication at chelmsford.. it’s crazy here, several thousand ex bethelites here for lots of events.
all hotels booked.
big marquee.
I don't know what is in the drinking water of Wallkill, because Steven Lett made some strange humour also during his recent visit in Amsterdam.
The wrong humour.
There is something going on with those guys.

may 14, 2024. hello brothers at the writing committee.
many brothers and sisters are wondering when will the end come?
we were supposed to live in the last days of the last days as brother lett told a couple of years ago.
No chance and a wast of energy.

this is my first time posting to this forum.
let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.
i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.

Is Chelmsford branch not build on a former waste dump?
Seems to remember this from a message long ago.

the ot of wing commander made me think about the following.. i was born in 1970, 4th generation jw.
in the 70's i got the indirect message of 1975, and in the early 80's we were promissed a paradise were we could life for ever!
this all combined with the 1914 doctrine.. it was all about show activity and works, that lead to a reward, the paradise earth.. i'm curious about the jw's of later years and the current "generation z".. we don't visit the hall, maybe once in a year.

We don't visit the hall, maybe once in a year. In conversations with JW family we don't hear the word "paradise" anymore.
Has the reward changed?
It leads to my hypothese that different generations of JW can have different expetation.
Is that true?

it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.
i was almost 5 years old when these were released.
“1914 and you” — may 1, 1984 watchtower.
I remember it well, was 13 years old.
The meetings were long, boring and full of doctrine. No room.for doubts.
The book you can life for is worth to mention. We were promissed a paradise.
What a scam is was, with hind sight.
Our family was not fanatic, there was discussion.
Then came the late 80's and early 90's with the Revelation book, the Daniel phantasy book and the 1995 generation change. The moment I became daubting
