with all the talk in the organization about the end being so close, and we have all heard this story over and over again for years, as a young/loyal jw, did you think you would see your 60th birthday.. if we were to walk into the kingdom hall today and poll all the jw's under 30, and ask them "will you see your 60th birthday", what kind of response would you get ???.
armageddon is not coming, the year 2014 will pass, as will 2025, 2075, 2100, and even 3000. .
would love to hear experiences from some of the older ones on this board, who probaly thought the same thing when they were young.
Well... being as how I didn't celebrate birthdays... no, I guess not.
But I think the question means, would I be an OLD 60? No, I didn't think so. I thought it would be here by 2000 at the latest. Wow, now I'm 25.
Now, if I make it to 60, I'm going to be blind drunk and buried up to the neck in sweet poontang - so no, technically I won't SEE my 60th birthday.

i recently watched bowling for columbine and came away with the impression that michael moore is saying that americans are always shooting themselves because they are paranoid to the hilt.. i cant figure it out!
why are americans always going postal on themselves?
It's cheap population control. China wouldn't have nearly as many as 1.8 billion people if they legalized handgun ownership.
Plus, most Americans can't stand each other. We were founded as a group of people who didn't get along with whoever it was back in wherever it was and we came here, and it's not like we changed at all. We are oversexed Puritan, slave-owning abolitionist, Bible-thumping atheists and we don't like each other very much. I mean, any nation dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal is going to have a problem with authority and have tendencies to pop each other in the face when we get cut off on the highway.

or do you think neither will ever happen?
consider that they are both members of a majority group and a minority group.
They don't let lesbians lead Girl Scout Troops - so no H.R. in THAT position.
I'd rather see a black man than a woman. Because I'm afraid that if a woman became president I'd have to move all the damn furniture around the country and hang up curtain rods.

i think we should let amazon know that promoting the abuse of young children is as bad as abusing them yourself.
I think we might as well admit that this idea terrifies us. After all, homosexuality was formerly unacceptable and then became acceptable, and I'm terrified of pedophilia becoming accepted in society the same way.
YES I KNOW THE TWO AREN"T RELATED, I was just using it as an example of how ideas can change.
After all, pedophilia was accepted in Greek and Roman times - treated as normal, even laudable. It's disgusting and frightening to think that this idea could become accepted, and how do we fight it? By banning books? Probably not. By boycotting markets? maybe not.
Killing pedophiles? Fun, but not really effective.

Jehovaq's latest public appearance provokes riot!
Czarofmischief Theocratic Warfare Dispatches reported that Jehovaq's latest StreetKorner Tour, "Resurrection" with euro-techno beebop specialists Ace of Base and ChumbaWumba ran into a snag in one of their first performances outside of Howler's Bar and Saloon in Bloomfield, PA when new Watchtower Deity Snoop Doggy Dawg pulled up in his (four-door) Sure-vice Mobile and launched into a rap battle with the nonplussed Jehovaq.
"Our new god's gritty, urban gangsta sound completely overwhelmed the pathetic silence we're used to from that Beastie Boy WannaBe," crowed Watchtower head Ted Jaracz, making a rather unkind reference to Jehovaq's Jewish character.
According to eyewitness Rocky, proprietor of Rocky's Restaurant and Catering, Jehovaq "started crying and curled up on the street in the fetal position."
Jehovaq publicist, czarofmischief, immediately responded to the cutting-edge assault by drinking a six-pack.
Contemptuous of the lack of response, Snoop paused to collect some hoes and rolled out, blasting the track by Lil' Bow Wow.
Ace of Base chased after the Sure-vice Mobile, barking madly and biting off one of the solid gold hubcaps, which czarofmischief promptly hocked for hash. The ensuing argument between czar, Ace of Base, and Chumbawumba over who got to smoke the hash turned into a full scale three-day riot that resulted in a "state of permanent lockdown" in the city of Pittsburgh, according to Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"If only Ace of Base had passed the doobie on the left hand side," mourned the Attorney General. "Property damage estimates range in the upper single digits. Fortunately, the rioters had the physical prowess of overcooked oysters, and collapsed with mild heart failure before more damage could be done."
What will be Jehovaq's response to this devastating assault by his former devotees and close associates, the Watchtower (now informally known as Snoop's Witschizzles?) Society???
No information is available at this time, although according to insiders' accounts, Jehovaq is currently making plans to enjoy an Armand's fish sandwich for lunch with czarofmischief before launching yet another comeback.
