  Living in the era of "Generation Me"

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this really got to me today at the wt study.. i am not ashamed to admit, i am part of that "generation".. you get one role of the dice in this life, you got to take what you can now, in order to have a good quality life later.. i agree, we need to help and show love to our fellow man.

  but, not when this becomes the priority above our own needs, wants and aspirations.. welcome to "generation me" wt, this is my time.. peace out..

  Tell us more about the lesson's content.

  Coincidentally, my wife out of the blue, used the term "generation me" today. I later read this topic and asked her if she heard it in the lesson. She did.

  Is 1919 Important to the WT?

  by Anon_SA1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know if the wt still claims they were appointed in 1919?

  is there proof of this appointment?

  any ideas where i can find out how they get to this date?

  If they invoke Nu-Lite, then every publication that mentions 1919 was wrong.

  Big gamble.

  Wait for a revised Revelation book to provide "brighter light"...

  Proof, you ask?

  That doesn't exist.

  Talking to support and contacts at WT HQ

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have a story to share about my calls to wt ny hq this past week.

  i was quite surprised by the level of disinterest and lack of concern from the two contacts that i spoke to.

  rather than jumping right in and sharing my experience - and perhaps "poisoning the well," i'd like to read experiences of others on this forum who had the urge or need to call the wt contact number.. btw - mine was not an apostate rant or overly critical of the wt and was presented in a friendly and helpful way.

  Trying to play on people's fears.

  Sadly, it's the JWs that were afraid when "publishing" that article as they were the ones that had to make the presentations.

  That article was out just about the time I quit reporting time.

  Theocratic warfare [AKA Lying for the Truth]

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my elder brother made the mistake of telling me about the wts policy of theocratic warfare.

  he first called it 'lying for the truth' then he tried to tone it down to theocratic warfare.

  he justifies this position by citing the scriptures that say do not throw pearls to the swine for they will trample them under foot and tear you to pieces.. my question is .

  The watchtower is full of lies.

  Otherwise, Harm-you-gettin' would already have been here.

  In my area many older ones are dying. As many as 10 in the last two years and as many as 10 more could die ANYTIME.

  How are JWs coping with the FACT that the very ones that studied with them, that told them we'd never grow old, etc are dying before their eyes?

  Then add in JW'TV'ORG and all the major doctrinal changes. How long can they hold out?

  I was working the stage at an assembly day where we knew back stage before the baptism talk that there were no candidates.

  We thought nothing of it. Our only concern was for the "poor brother" giving the talk to no one.

  1200ish in attendance.

  long time lurker here.

  i don't want hate in our hearts - jw are wrong oh so wrong - and i want to blame this religion for making me cold and distant to the world.

  but i believe everything is meant to be, we all have purpose in this world.

  thank you very much. very nice post.

  I find myself imagining JWs watching these wild videos and thinking to themselves: "we must have the true religion".

  If they aren't, why are they still in. I must admit, my research into cults/mind control is sorely lacking.
