New Date for Armageddon - 2015
by Dawn inthe following is a message from another jw forum i visited:.
i came across a scripture (genesis 15:16) which says that god's people would return "in the fourth generation".
true, it doesn't say where in the fourth generation but as they were to be in egypt for 430 years then if they return in the fourth we're looking at generations being divided up into approx.

Nat'l Center for Missing Children - Volunteer
by Dawn inthe national center for missing and exploited children can use poster volunteers.
it's a small effort on our part but makes a huge impact.. go to http://www.ncmec.org/ - click on "how can i help" link on the left, then click on "join our poster partner program".
it's really quite easy - they'll send you flyers via e-mail to print out when a child is reported missing from your area/region.

Jehovah will take care of it
by Dawn ini called my mother last night (an active jw) right after the dateline segment and said "well, what'd ya think?".
we talked a little bit, then i said "well, i noticed quite a few times it was said 'jehovah will take care of things' or 'we need to wait on jehovah'.
she replied that was correct - jehovah would take care of things.. so i responded "mom - i think he just did!".

The new "Generation" doctrine
by Dawn incould someone explain to me how the generation doctrine changed?
i know that originally they thought it applied to the generation of 1914 and i heard that it changed.
i asked my dad to explain it to me but his explanation didn't make any sense to me - something like "a generation can last forever" ???

Where is the Great Crowd?
by Dawn inthis post is mainly for non_trias_theos - but any of you who are jw's feel free to respond.
i know this should probably be posted on the bible research board, but being that "non" is a newbie i wasn't sure he'd check there.. question - where is the great crowd?.
read the verses (revelation 7:9) in revelation that refer to the great crowd (or multitude) and tell me where they are in those verses.

Where else are you going to go?
by Dawn ini have heard that argument from the jw's since i was a child - i still hear it from my family.. now that i am out it seems like such a silly argument.
in fact, you could liken it to someone in an abusive marriage for years.
they're used to the situation and somewhat frightened at the thought of change.

A heavenly hope
by Dawn ini have read a number of posts in the past few weeks from people who felt they had a heavenly hope and struggled with the issue "how do i handle the memorial" or "what will my friends think".. this interests me because i struggled with quite the opposite.
i always believed i was of the earthly class and that is where my hope always was.. when i started going to a new church last year and hearing about a heavenly hope i really struggled with this.
i couldn't imagine myself going to heaven - even if for a short time until the earth is made new.
