  Kingdom hall cleaning

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  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 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.

  Crisis of Conscience

  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.

  This is not new, for me it started with this generation change in 1995, and reading Raymonds books and website.

  Before us, there were many others making the same progress. Once there was xjw.org with many stories. Offline now.

  Paradise

  by Gorb in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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
