What is your favorite JW year ? 1879 - 2006
by The_Replacement inthe 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 !

Generation change?
by Jerohobobonadad inhello 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.

Can someone of the 144,000 get kicked out after entering heaven ???
by The_Replacement inso, if someone is of the 144,000, dies, and supposedly goes to heaven, is it still possible for them to be misled, or kicked out, thus needing another replacement.
if the answer is yes, i guess the 144,000 will never be completed, in fact eventually they will have 144,000 replacements, then 144,000 replacements replacing the replacements, doh !

Anointed "Remnent" projections
by Elsewhere ina person who cannot reveal his/her identity has asked that i post this research regarding how long it is taking for the "remnent" to die before armageddon comes.. ====.
a recent jwd posting (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/110850/1.ashx) got me playing with remnant figures in excel.
the results are obvious, and frankly not surprising.

During the assembly did you ever notice ... ???
by The_Replacement ingrowing up as a kid in the 70's (and early 80's), did you ever notice at the assembly that there was always someone who had a tape recorder on stage and was taping the whole assembly.
are these tapes around today, generally i would love to hear some talks that were given before 1975 and see how many brothers said something big was going to happen, because we all know the watchtower never said that !!!
(yeah right).. any websites that might have a few of these or other interesting topics ???.

How would you answer ???
by The_Replacement ineven 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.

Annoited ones not needed on Earth when Armageddon comes ???
by The_Replacement inis this where the watchtower is headed ???.
appears all the annoited class (pre 1935) are pretty much gone, or not coherent.. with the 24 elder idea in the january 2007 wathctower, will the annoited class not be needed during armageddon, or will all 144,000 be with jesus when armageddon comes, hey thats a good idea watchtower, i should be on the governing body..

Another Christ's Invisible Presence Question ? (1930 -1942)
by The_Replacement inokay, 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.. .
