  Be ready to obey!!

  from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

  The paragraph was specifically addressed to the elders, it's interesting to see that the WT knows how much influence the elders have. They know that their "brilliant ideas" can only go so far without the full support of the local elders.

  i asked him what happened.

  he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.

  doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.

  This is so sad, I feel bad for them. The WT is a snare and a racket.

  How I detest those "little monsters"!

  We've all been duped and that's the reality, the length and degree to which we gave our all to the 'org' ... the more difficult it is to come to terms with it.

  johnny santa cruz and i met around 1959 at a movie theater in fort worth, texas.. the purpose of that meeting was to create a fanclub for horror movie director william castle.

  a week or so later, johnny stopped me as i was walking home from elementary school.. "hey--i think i know you.

  weren't you at the william castle fanclub thing?".

  So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  2. bible

  during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.

  more of a, wtf, face.

  one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

  The reason why they've printed the number of "annointed" is because it used to be an indication of how close we were to "the end".The fewer annointed remmant the closer we were to the "great tribulation" but now with the number going up the last few years it doesn't fit their agenda.

  I remember your husband's OP. It was heartbreaking. I'm so happy to hear that you're now awake, it's so much easier to get out when you have someone by your side. Thanks for sharing the good news and the great tips.

  Another generation....

  by joey jojo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

  the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

  the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

  I was a bright eyed 20 yr old Reg Pioneer in '95. The 1914 generation teaching was one of the biggest reasons why I started pioneering right out of HS instead of going to college. Nobody talks about it anymore, the overlapping gen teaching is an insult to our intelligence, so people don't even discuss it. This one teaching has affected the lives of millions and the WT doesn't even have the guts to own up to it and admit they got it all wrong.

  Down by about 20 or so...

  most of the non JWs that come are family members of JW's or former bible studies, there isn't really much new blood.
