  How would you answer ???

  by The_Replacement in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even if my religion is wrong (and i know it is not), it has saved me from a life of drugs and hopelessness, i was going no-where, i had no life, i lived with depression, i had no goals, just drifted through life and hated life and myself, since finding jesus my life has changed and i am a good, honest, caring person, i am now the best father i have ever been, i was never there for my kids before.

  i have a great job and provide for my family, how can you say to me, that religion is wrong ?.

  this is a person i met and had a discussion with, he is not a jw, but i wonder is a religious belief even if it is wrong, better for someone who cannot face the world.

  i'm not sure if anyone's posted this yet, but here are the figures for the 2006 service report.

  i highlighted the countries that have either a "0" or negative growth in yellow and i highlighted key countries where the you would expect more growth......i tried looking for england's stats, but i couldn't see it.

  i looked under "england" and "united kingdom" but i can't see it.

  What is your favorite JW year ? 1879 - 2006

  by The_Replacement in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the oddest one for me is 1935, where do they get this idea that heavens doors were closed ???.

  makes no sense at all.. where did jesus say in the bible that in 1935 heavens doors would be closed.. with the governing body all dying off, soon the whole governing body will be replacements !

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all.. forgive my ignorance, but what exactly was the generation change, and what are the implications for jw doctrine?.

  although i rarely missed a meeting until a couple of years ago, this either went over my head or i wasn't listening (most likley).. i'm not the sharpest tool in the box so please keep it simple!

  references would be nice.. thanks.

  Another Christ's Invisible Presence Question ? (1930 -1942)

  by The_Replacement in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  okay, we all know christ's invisible presence began in 1874, then changed to 1914 (in 1943).

  now, the last mention of christ's invisible presence being 1874, seems to be 1929/1930 , prophecy book, our lord's return booklet.. my question is .......... is christ's invisible presence mentioned in any publication from 1930 - 1942, or did it completely drop out of sight during this time frame ???????

  until it was re-introduced in the truth shall set you free book in 1943.. .

  by Quandary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was told by a reliable source that the organization will be making a "big announcement" at the end of the summer when all the dcs have ended.

  has anyone else heard this?

  maybe this is the "new light" they have alluded to in recent wt study articles?

  SO, What happened to : "the generation will not pass away" idea ???????

  by The_Replacement in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  okay, growing up a jw in the 70's 80's and early 90's, all we heard about was how the generation of 1914 will not pass away,(much like witnesses in the 60's and early 70's all heard about 1975) (what a great parallel) conventions, watchtower articles, public talks, endless studies and of course every issue of the awake magazine had it on the inside cover, it was everywhere, brothers, sisters and elders were absolutely sure about this, the society constantly mentioned it in our kingdom ministry (service), it was everywhere.

  then with the change in november 1995, it just kinda disappeared and became unimportant.. does the society even mention "this generation will not pass away" anymore ?????.

  seems to me, that the past 10 years, it has hardly been mentioned anywhere anymore.. what do you think ??
