by OUTLAW in

as many of you know i`ve just got back to the board in the last little while..what did i learn yesterday?..the generation of 1914 means nothing..nothing!

!..back in the day,you could have been disfellowshipped for such a remark..disfellowshipped!

!..what did you think and how did you feel when you found out the generation of 1914,now means nothing?.....outlaw

I was there in the years before 1975..The preaching of that date was relentless..If you disagreed you could be Disfellowshipped..

Ive never heard that before?

Anyway,The 1995 generation change did for me.Couldnt believe my ears and eyes.

let's have a poll.

here are the candidates with a few possible reasons for voting for each:.

Since he is the leader about whom there is the clearest evidence that he did not really believe all that he preached, is he not therefore the most reprehensible?

Nathan Knorr?Where is the evidence he didnt believe what he preached?

Your going to the meetings whether you like it or not!

by Atlantis in

your going to the meetings whether you like it or not!

thousands of jehovah's witness children have heard those threatening words backed-up with spankings, whippings, or even severe beatings.

but what if they are too small to understand?

Yeah,i was "lovingly disciplined"and "encouraged"to enjoy/participate at the meetings as a Child.

Im surprised the bruises ever healed up.Stupid crap parents.If they ever did leave the religion ..the ol,"we did what we thought was best "crap wouldnot wash with me.Hitting Kids and psychologically bullying them is a terrible form of child abuse and unforgiveable imo.

Whether JW,s or not my Parents are dead in my eyes.

i was musing about being a jw the other day.im not scarred by it like many,i dont hate anyone in my old cong..theres a couple of idiotic elders of course,but in the main my biggest thing when i think of my past life is the farsical nonsense of it all!.

meeting attendance,knocking on doors...oh dear.. one of the stupidest things was being required to do talks.i mean,come on who really used to listen to that drivel..i mean really listen?.

i was an ok speaker,nothing briliant,competent ..even gave a pub talk once when all the elders were on a jolly up at elders school.. it occurred to me how robotic bros and sis were when it came to giving praise!no matter how crap the talk was,one would always get a "i really enjoyed your talk brother".every time.without fail.i know they were being nice,i used to say it all the time too.my dad once said it to me and i asked him what he liked most about it?he admitted he didnt remember what it was even about.i dont remember in 30 years man and boy ever enjoying a talk.. yep,its a nonsense religion alright.full of braindead robots.. did anyone actually pay close attention and really enjoy the "food"from the platform?

It's nice that they're supportive, but you'd think they could spice up their lingo a bit. Wouldn't it be nice to hear, just once, someone say, "Brother, you really made that talk your bitch!" Lol..thats superb.
