I thought the generation doctrine should be a bigger deal for most JW's than it seems to be. For years they stated very plainly that it was a PROMISE of jah and jesus that the generation of 1914 WOULD NOT PASS AWAY. It seems like god reneged on his promise.Hard to trust a god like that or maybe the GB was just full of S**T

Back around 1969 we had a bro in our cong that went to university. His grandmother (non dub) was paying for the whole thing. He went in to be an acountant. Nothing much was said to his face but behind his back there was a lot of tut..tut...tutting. It was OBVIOUS to all us good little dub robots that his education would do him no good. Only weeks or months at the most remained before gawd destroyed everybody. His education would be of no value and he would regret his short sighted choices in life...
I wonder if he is enjoying his retirement.........

Carla I woul;d like to see that one myself. I HIGHLY doubt that you will find any.

DEFD...In this one thread alone you have had the flip flops on superior authorities pointed out to you and also the incredible confusion over whom Abaddon was Jesus or Satan. It's time to take your blinders off.The ROT is not just at the congregation level. It goes all the way to the top. This organization needs to be flushed down the toilet of life. There is no Truth™ to be found there.

I'm done with the local group now. I've made the elders feel like asses in front of the hall and now have let everyone know where I and my family stand. It feels good to leave on my own terms.

NOOO DON"T GO....IT'S A TRAP
*** Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15 ***
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. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold: 'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way towards its finish, if not actually gone! This is why parents who base their lives on God's prophetic Word find it much more practical to direct their young ones into trades that do not require such long periods of additional schooling… True, those who do not understand where we are in the stream of time from God's viewpoint will call this impractical. But which is really practical: preparing yourself for a position in this world that soon will pass away? or working toward surviving this system's end and enjoying eternal life in God's righteous new order?

This really ties in well with this little gem from the past
NEW YORK KING'S COUNTY CLERKS'S COURT RECORD, 1940, vol. II, p 795:
Fred W. Franz on the witness stand:
"Q. Who subsequently became the Editor of the magazine, the main editor
of the "Watch Tower" magazine ?
A. In 1931, October 15th, as I recall, the "Watch Tower" discontinued
publishing the names of any editorial committee on the second page.
THE COURT: He asked you who became the editor.
THE WITNESS: And it said --
THE COURT: Who became the editor ?
Q. Who became the editor when this was discontinued ?
A. Jehovah God." -

"...But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." -Matt. 10:29,30
You must be reading that from the NWT again.(Fred Franz Version)
I use a much more accurate version of the scriptures
I reads...."...But the very hairs of your scrotum are all numbered." -Matt. 10:29,30
We must remember the god of the bible had a fixation for those kind of things.

How Does The Watchtower "Dumb Down" Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus in.
do you see how they take away individuality and the allowance of personal comments from the group?
what other ways do you see that they keep the witnesses "dumb"?
-

Poztate
I find that the witnesses look so dumb when they pass a resolution and "Everybody" raises their hand and approves"
I remember that part but I don't remember the part where they say"is anyone opposed" Was it always just a rubber stamp or were people just too intimidated to stick up their hands ??
