Millenium Awake (I think) ca: 1989/90. "It is UNTHINKABLE" that the world will be celebrating the new millenium in 2000 and that Christ will not have commenced HIS 1000 year reign". Tried to find the article at a couple of KHs in the bound volumes to show my daughters. Seemed to have been removed. Also difficult to find on the CD Rom. I think I found it tho, and above sentence had been changed to "it is wise not to speculate". Asked an elder if this was in order (it is pure deception, isn't it? - Didn't say that to him of course!) and should they not just leave what they originally printed? He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry about it".

1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things
by Ding inawake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

When did the Last Days start in the first century
by wizzstick ini've been reading coc and rf highlights that luke 21:28 says: "but as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near.".
i'm thinking on how no one who saw the start of these things is alive from 1914. as a comparison point, does anyone know when the wt suggests the last days started in the first century?.
was it when jesus said the above?.

At Pentecost 33CE, Peter quotes from Joel: "In the last days God will pour out his Spirit...."etc. Changed in the NWT to "In the final part of the days", to deliberately confuse, because it does not compute with their 1914 rubbish. Jesus began to rule as King upon his ascension (see Phill 2: 6-11) and the" last days" began. In 2 Tim 3 1-5 Paul is describing to Timothy conditions pertinent then, it is NOT a prophecy marking 1913 as the last "normal" year.

Plucked up courage to phone my mum an hour ago. (I'm filth in her eyes.) Asked her how she was, as its been 6 months since we spoke together. SHE SAID SHE NEVER SEES A SOUL, IS TOTALLY ALONE (SHES 83) AND THAT EVEN HER BEST JW FRIEND OF 55 YEARS NEVER VISITS HER ANY MORE!!!) (Get this, her German Digi-box is faulty, and she asked the Elders if her dissassociated son-in-law (my husband) could COME OVER AND FIX IT, AND THEY SAID CERTAINLY!!!!!!! Still getting over that one.) Where is the jw love I ask myself? Before I dissed myself from the GB I did everything for her, hair, shopping, cleaning - just how is she managing? Finished off the conv by asking her what she thought of the noo lite regarding F & D Slave. She was astounded that I knew. Slapped all over the internet I replied. I asked her, Look, If they haven't been appointed yet,and its a FUTURE EVENT, then how can you say for def you have got the truth? (thanks to the poster who made this great point). She replied, "I've never found anything in 60 years which tells me this is not the truth.!!" Which did NOT answer my question - was just the standard sheeple reply. Finished the call with, "Mum, you're in a man-made cult, they're making it all up as they go along, just as they always have - OH WAKE UP!" and hung up. Decided to try the " direct approach" L(half heartedly) OL

Print off some stickers, " NO" new light" could EVER be be sourced from Jehovah, with whom "the turning of the shadow does not vary".THINK ABOUT IT". Stick them in the toilets, round the concourse areas, and on the seats. I swear I will do this next year at Nottingham Ice Centre.

Did you feel pushed into pioneering?
by Xanthippe inso i have been replying to letters from a jw friend who suddenly started writing to me after i've been out for nearly 25 years.. i have mentioned things like the poverty that pioneering causes from my own experience, worrying about having enough money to buy food.. i also said that the scrimping would have been worth it if we had been saving to buy a home or go on lovely holidays.. instead we ended up with nothing materially and we were living in a tiny rented flat when we left.. when i think of all the places i wanted to visit with my husband but couldn't because we were pioneering and had no money and now it is too late because my husband has died at the age of 54. we did get to visit some beautiful places but we ran out of time.. what i was trying to say to her was - life's too short.
stop waiting for the new system, get on with your life.
stop exhausting yourself in that religion.

Yes. If somehow, with a lot of financial "jiggling" you could pioneer but weren't you were "shirking". When we told the elders in Sept 2007 (I had "woken up" by this point) we had to put our daughters first, who at the time were 14 and 12 (we taught them at home) and HAD to come off as they were being neglected and were struggling, all we got was "Oh well, Jehovah will find replacements to take your place".

Putting in the mind of the rank and file that we are as "bad" as members of false religion, ie Christendom, who are the earthly apostate agent of Satan.
