here is what was mentioned in coc.
it was mentioned that the generation date could be moved from 1914 to 1957,. so, they would leave 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and re-instate the generation doctrine from 1914 to the 1957 date.. naw, they wouldn't do this.they promised not to fool around with this dating stuff ever again,right.. blueblades
If they were going to do this, they should have done it back when a rocket launch was still as amazing as watching a man be raised from the dead.
that's a good point elsewhere... they should have done it while they had the chance... people don't even think about rockets and space travel anymore... unless they're astronauts and it's their job to think about it

p.s. sometimes i think about it but only because im a little nerdy ;)
hey i'm new, you can call me scott.. anyways, here's a blurb.
i'm 20, and gay haha, and i have been going to jw meetings since highschool, and still going.
now its gotten to the point where its just nap time and incredibly boring.
alright more gay people to liven up the scene! welcome and we look forward to reading some of your fake watchtower articles... i have some fake young people ask articles and you just reminded me to post them. THANKS!

i'm multi-tasking so i've got the tv on, jwd open and am supposedly studying chemistry.
the 54-40 "golden sun" video came on and one of the group members is shown reading the "making your family life happy" book.
i question as too why.. dams
the most likely response from anyone on this board that is not canadian will be, "WHO THE HELL IS 54-40???"
my response is, is it an older video or one from the past two or three years (are they even still making videos?)
my wife and i watch a movie last night, called "the truth".
it was about an amish girl who got pregnant and had a child.
anyway, she was ordered to be shunned by all members for her wrong doing, for six weeks.. this brings up the questions..... is shunning bible-based?.
she was ordered to be shunned by all members for her wrong doing, for six weeks
hey that's not so bad considering how long the jw's will shun someone for!(ever)

i almost never used to have nightmares, but recently, i've been having plenty.
i usually wake up during or after a nightmare with an extremely dry mouth and a pounding headache.
the nightmares occur about 4 or 5 times a week.
i get them, along with sleep paralysis... although the sleep paralysis comes less frequently now that i know it's not demonic attacks

i was just looking at some old pictures from wts magazines.
i noticed something i cant understand.
the car in the picture is a buick park avenue!
your commentary actually made me LOL!!! the artist probably had a run-in with a CO at one point and wanted to depict him being destroyed along with his wife and car...

i was just wondering if you had any doctors, lawyers, pyschologists, psychiatrists, engineers or any highly educated ones in your congregation?
.
seems like the only succesful ones were business owners... the rest had jobs they hated... ahhhh to pioneer instead of working full time!
bethel
i'm a master now!!!
now come get u'r spankin!
luv, jojo
ooooooooo but guess who's trailing not far from your behind? that's right it's the new york bethel minute up in tha hizouuuuuse!
ok first of all whenever i get a strong feeling about something im usually right.
even though for years as a child i was taught the jw doctrine and it seemed to make sense biblically, at least back then.
but yet i had a strong sense of doubt, but it was nothing specific i could point the finger to, just a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the jw religion.. now here's my main point.
Bill Gates makes a lot of money too. i wonder if he funds terrorists? i mean COME ON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS... WHERE DOES IT ALL GO??? at least SOME of it MUST go to terrorists. it wouldn't make any sense for him to have all this money and not do something bad with it

have you ever considered the anointed, the number of partakers at the memorial and the governing body together?
if you examine the number of partakers you can clearly see that sometimes the numbers increase.
i asked some jws about this and their reply was, "those are replacements for unfaithful ones".
thanks i like the angle you took on that... it makes a lot of sense except to JW's... like a lot of things!
