  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 ??

  How many of you still have friends in the org?

  by Nellie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a good friend of mine moved away 10 years ago.

  needless to say, we lost touch over the years, but our family always spoke of them warmly and with with great affection.. last week, their daughter looked my son up on my-space and we reconnected.

  they've left the organization, basically got fed up with the hypocrasy of the membership.

  Name the good things that Jw's have or believe....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we always seem to get focused on the bad - and there is plenty of it for sure - and anyone who follows my posts knows i am no wt apologist by any stretch.

  but focusing on the postive is a good thing in the 'moving on' process i think too.

  what do you think jw's had right?.

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that jesus is the christ?

  this is the antichrist, the one that denies the father and the son.

  Great Educational Tool for those studying or thinking of studying with JWS

  by sf in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was doing some web surfing and catching up on my reading and came upon a post i hope may help some lurkers and seekers understand better what they are getting themselves into or may have already gotten into, by studying the bible with jws.. i surely hope it is not going against any rule to copy/paste this.

  i will not include anything but the text.

  i will say though that it is from a longstanding exjw support board that can be found here:.

  by The Lone Ranger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i beleive the conventions have started in the usa, in australia they won't start for a few months yet, and i want to show-off to others and show them how spiritual i am hehe.

  isn't it stupid how some of them actually think they're more spiritual just because they know the new relelases before others, what a joke!.

  thanks in advance people!

  Took my mom to lunch the other day...

  by tall penguin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you've read my previous posts you'll know that my relationship with my mom has had its ups and downs since i left the org.

  while my parents (both jw) still speak to me, the relationship has been strained.

  well, this past week i got up the courage to call her and invite her to lunch, something we haven't done since i da'd last august.
