  The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.

  as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.

  now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

  Yea, I'm still here! I was a 28 year old elder, the Presiding Overseer no less, in 1975. By January of 1976 there was a nearly unanimous unwillingness to even mention the 'great disappointment' among the "faithful". F*ck, I wish I would have had the good sense to run then, but like other fools, I stayed! It was like a pyramid a big scheme (pun intended)!

  As is being mentioned in this OP, most of those still 'in da troof' from that time refuse to admit that the borg really did emphasis 1975 as the "end". It's classic denial to say otherwise. Mad Freddy must be laughing his skinny little ass off!

  Besides Beards . . .

  beards have been talked about a lot, especially with the recent wt article, but what about other types of non-mustache facial hair, like goatees chinbeards and soul patches?.

  in my own experience i've seen a white young man with big handlebars and a soul patch run mikes, do literature and give talks not too long ago.

  i saw a black older man with a sizeable soul patch as the focus of one shot in a jw.org video about an annual meeting a few years ago.

  In addition to heeding the 'no beard' zone at the kh, also make sure you warn all the young sisters that are not married not to 'even consider' a brother who is over 23 that is not a MS. Don't want to piss off Tony Tightpants!

  Yea it looks like many are 'waking up' to the fallacy of religion and the fantasy that is the bible!

  The years we spent trying to convince others that the bible is god's word---well--just wasted time.

  IMHO, if you are a black jw, there are different 'rules' to govern you. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about the stupid 'rutherfordian' rules and many of my best jw friends are black and they are great guys and girls. However, black people have different ways to dress and groom that would not fly with Caucasians in jw-land!

  Back in the early 70's, I was counselled by our CO for growing a mustache.

  Hopefully the "apostate hunters" didn't get him. It was rumored that he had a 'price on his head'.

  Seriously, I hope he reappears soon!

  Transubstantiation?

  by leavingwt in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone here accept the doctrine of transubstantiation?

  if so, please elaborate.

  theology: the changing of the elements of the bread and wine, when they are consecrated in the eucharist, into the body and blood of christ (a doctrine of the roman catholic church).

  Wasn't there an "anonymous committee of dedicated christian men" who transubstantiationed the NWT?

  so my 14 yr old son and i are sitting discussing the eu election vote, and joking around that the we could see a future with donald trump and boris johnson being the uk and us leaders.

  we were swapping pictures and jokes from facebook.. but his dad is sitting there waiting until we leave, and comes out with "well daniel 2.44" which reads.......... "and in the days of those kings the god of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin.

  and the kingdom itself will not be passed onto any other people.

  Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents

  by Simon in

  judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.

  imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.

  by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
