Before the sealing change they couldn't refer to the generation as anointed because "they will by no means pass away", and so they should have done so very shortly (the fact the number of anointed has been around 8,000 for 20+ years is another topic).
Wow I just got this (from two pages ago)! That is another of their slippery, calculated, now-we-can-say-anything, one illogical belief supports other illogical belief things. They are a clever bunch those GB types.

Incidentally, the sendspace link is no longer valid. Can someone repost it? Thanks if you can.

with the approaching of a new year and the passing of an old one, may i take this opportunity to express my grattitude to all of you here.
in the short time that i have been privileged to be a member of the board i have made many new friends and have had the opportunity to learn in depth of others.. so often in life people seem to be just ships passing in the night.
we didn't learn much from them, nor did we necessarily take the time to do so.
Well written. Happy New Year.

george couch, a longtime fixture as the big wig of home overseers at brooklyn bethel, died friday.
.
we never interacted much with them, he was a strange duck from our brief visits with them over the years..
I can't say that I'm very sad. I know that doesn't sound good but it's what I'm feeling.
Isaac
or were you just a watchtower troll trying to entrap people that were trying to be nice to you?
i read your site, thought it was nice, added you as a friend, made some comments, and now today your myspace page is gone!!
this kind of crap makes me nervous.
Ditto here. With my soon to be ex going back to the cult, trying to drag my daughter in..these situations can be rough. Good luck Brooke.

I wish that it would hit them Quandry. It will hit some. But the fact is that most will not even get the sense of it. Actually reading that article was comforting for me. It reinforced for me that I made the right decision in leaving. Having an ex that is going back in, who wants to drag our daughter back in, and a Mom in cahoots with her, the affirmation that this is nonsense being made up as each blunder becomes apparent to them is very much needed for me.

it's after midnight here in california - so i'll say merry christmas to all of you - best wishes for the new year.
and now, to bed.
Amen to that inbyathread. I celebrated Xmas last night (I am at work today) with my daughter and girlfriend not because of what others may or may not do and think at this time. I celebrate my friends, family, and indeed all of mankind, even the sad folks who have a hard time being happy or bringing happiness to others. Hopefully they will change. I celebrate Christianity because of what it can be if practiced with love. I celebrate the wisdom of taking a set time to express love and affection for others. I celebrate the wisdom of taking a set time to reflect on one's life course and hopefully plan to make improvements. As dubs we were taught that if we couldn't pioneer we could at least have the pioneer spirit. I here celebrate the Xmas spirit even if Xmas is not always what it could or should be for everyone. I celebrate the Xmas spirit.

All I have to say is that this s just crap, plain and simple.
