Hello everyone,
As I've promised I'm back with comments :
To Mulan:
"…having little nagging thoughts, that I would "put on the shelf" -
Funny, it is the same expression that I've always used …
To Joelbear:
Double standards .
They start to become obvious
after …somebody else is guilty!
To Gianluca:
"The day they changed the "1914 generation" doctrine…"
That was another -punch in the eye -…
To Copernicus:
" When they took the mention of creator’s promise of a new
system before the generation of 1914
"No warning, no explanation, nothing. "
Terrible, but worst many brothers and sisters …don't
know about it aven today!
To Francoise:
Strange as it may seem, it was the beard issue
that was the proverbial straw.
In my personal experience I never accepted this issue. Lacked any
Scriptural support, …a men made rule. But the shock after the
heavy debate , written positions, letters etc. was to find out that in
some congregations - elders with a beard like " Father Christmas"
could give public talks even outside their own congregations.
So that showed me, what really this was : A MEN MADE RULE !
(Btw. "near got DFed on the spot for my reaction to that comment."
Great comment . I know what you mean !
To Aguest:
"a talk during which the outline had the separation of
the sheep and the goats BEFORE the 'great tribulation'. -
This point was also the theme of a long discussion…
Some told me: " …more light that comes from Jehovah"!!!
To Orange Blossom:
Revelation book, I could never accept that different
prophetic events, trumpet blowings, etc. were related
to the different conventions throughout rhe years.
I just couldn't buy it."
You're not alone…
To Liberated:
" In 1914 , no one knew of Jesus' return in that year.
Russell was teaching "present truth " to be that Jesus
returned in 1874"
A very good point indeed, because what I could not digest,
having a personal copy of the book " The JW's in the Divine
purpose ", was the numerous attempt or rather teachings that
WTS always pointed out " to 1914" as the YEAR!!! And to
be kind …this is a lie!
To AlanF:
"organ transplants are cannibalism" in 1967.
When, in my researches I did eventually read from the magazine,
at first …I thought I was making a mistake…unfortunately
it was t r u e !
So , many of us have similar experiences, and it is nice to share them!
