  Never reproved or df'd very good at staying out of their radar. Always kept my mouth shut and let very few know my other personality.

  What was the "theme" of each decade?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you could list the major themes of the watchtowerland per decade, what would they be?.

  for example, 2010-2014: overlapping generation, gb=fds, jw.org, 100 years.

  2000-2009: harder stance on higher ed.. 1990-1999: generation no longer a major doctrine.. 1980-1989: getting over 1975, ray franz, year of peace, end before 20th century ends, generation is 70 years old.

  Anyone Else Feeling Forced to Go to the Memorial?

  by PaintedToeNail in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i refuse to go to any meetings, assemblies, conventions, special talks or the like...however, i get coerced into going to the memorial every year.

  because it keeps the peace at home with hubby and also makes my parents, who live elsewhere, have hope that i will come to my senses and become an active witness again.

  there is no chance in hell of that happening, but it prevents the ties to my family from being severed.

  I will answer with the same topic I had with my 40 year old daughter this morning. JWs hold on to their young so tight its likea rubberband the harder youu hold it the farther it flies when you let go. ANy one that had a balsa/wood airplane that you wind up with rubberband will know what I am saying. And yes in the 60's we teens did were a lot worse when wewere together than when I finally hung out with "worldy kids'

  Same sex marriage legalised in the UK at midnight tonight!!!

  by DuvanMuvan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  title pretty much explains it all.

  lots of people are getting married at midnight tonight.. what do you guys think?

  maybe if anyone gets called on by a jw this weekend you can ask them what they think about it.. im just glad because it shows that religion doesn't define our conscience, that basic human decency can prevail over time and hopefully, these types of gradual but big changes will be present in the wts too in the future .

  when my son legally married his partner of 19 years it didn't change anything in his father and my marriage or his sister and her husbands marriage. His neices still plan on marrying males. 'In other words life goes on peacefully. Love to all.

  Happy 40th. Its so special to be married such a long time. I looked into all my Jw friends who married around the same time and for a religion that discourages divorce very few are still married. Again congratulations and I wish you another 40 years together.
