JW changes over time
by larc inas many of you know, i am 63, and left the religion about 40 years ago.
i was raised in it and would like to explain what it was like compared to today.
first of all, back in the mid to late 40's the patriotism of the u.s. was very high and the treatment at the door was very harsh.

What is a generation?
by larc ini think we all know about the changing definiition of "generation" by the watchtower society.
i thought i would highlight history in terms of generations.
my great grandfather was born in 1850. that would make him 29 when russell started his religion.

A sense of history and time
by larc init is easy to forget the amount of time between events, until you compare it to your own life and those of your parents and grandparents.
for example, russell founded the religion in 1879, and predicted the end of the world in 1914. that was 35 years into the future.
the religion was 50 years old.

Our house fire
by larc infolks, .
i do not usually post stuff about my life at home, but i am in the mood to tell you this one.
yesterday, a big truck came by our house, which created a vibration in our house, which caused a plastic spice jar to fall off of the top of the stove on to a hot burner, which caused the plastic to get set on fire, which melted and destroyed the plastic panel on the stove.

JWs who come here
by larc ini find it curious when jws come here.
i would not want to go into any room or place and debate people who knew much more than i do, yet they do it.
i guess the scripture, "pride goes before a fall" fits people like this.
