I dont know why the society doesn't heed the scriptures , matt. 10:14, mark 6:11, luke 9:5, acts 13:51, especially in america. No one here is listening.

"many are speculating that there are many changes coming soon...... including the end of preaching work....... well, just because the faithful and discreet slave has ended the weekly study weeting........... this does not mean that all other things will cease.

Falling Asleep at Assemblies
by LouBelle inyes i have dozed off many times when i used to attend.
most of the time kept the shades on as we used to have outside assemblies.
the thing was not to slide off the chair, drop your head forward or snore.. i've seen some brothers/sister hitting a serious lean to the left or right as they slept and then they'd jerk awake, only to lean again.. some people had sneaky methods.

So what's the deal about Jdubs always being late
by ldrnomo ini noticed early on that many dubs are late for everything almost all the time what do you suppose the reasons are?

I think a lot of it has to do with the newer generations. It is as though just being around the time is ok. My kids are like that. If I want them to be at my house for dinner etc. then I just make the time earlier, then they are on my time.
I do think it is worse among jws. Some at the hall are always late. My experience with jws are they are mostly just irrresponsible period, but that may just may be opionion.

Nobody is talking about the Generation change!!
by hamsterbait inevery time i have raised the noolite on this, it is met with blank looks and no comment.. on the phone it has been met with silence while they wait to see why i am talking about it.. has anybody else noticed this - it is a trend that less and less witlesses discuss doctrines and teachings when socializing.. could it be that they don't want to acknowledge a creeping disernment that they have been strung along, and so the gibbering buddy can no more be trusted on this claim than all the other failures, or is it that they are afraid of being called apostos?.
one elderly sister (90) who really thought she would never die, and is now, when i said i was atonished at the recent changes in 1935 annointed, generation and now no book group, just waited at the other end of the phone..
"so does this mean you think it is all rubbish?

I agree with blueblade. The society keeps hammering that the end is near, but everything they are changing says it is not. The generation can keep on going, the annointed can keep being gathered, and the sheep and the goats are not being seperated. It is all moving away from the 1914 thing.
I don't think they can talk about it because they don't understand it.In fact I don't think they understood any of it before the changes and now they are really confused.

One of the very rare things Rutherford was correct about, religion is trap and a snare and as far as I am concerned that includes them all. Why would anyone entrust their spiritual well being to another human being or group. And why do they want to take the responsibility for you. Everyone I know has their own problems and most are worse than mine and thats saying a lot.

Revelation - It's Grand Climax Adjusted
by Jeffro inhaving received a copy of the new watchtower library cd, i decided to do a comparison of what actually changed with the updated revelation book.
i was expecting some significant changes with some 'new light' for the 'trumpet blasts' or other 'important' stuff, but in all, i thought the changes were mostly quite mundane, though some seem a little crafty for different reasons.
any thoughts.... throughout.

The good ol watchtower society, they speculate, speculate and speculate and then call it the truth.

Your mom is just the typical jw. Facts, logic, reasoning, means nothing to them. They just come up with some off the wall comments as though they are the truth. They have to be right even when they think they may be wrong. Then when everything is said and done, she will tell all her jw friends how she had to straighten you out. You can't reason with a closed mind.

Coming to a KH near you...the generation/new light WT
by Mickey mouse innext weekend congregations around the world will be studying the wt article on the new definition of a "generation".. i would think there will be an epidemic of cognitive dissonance.
this must be the first time there has been a change of doctrine on a singular topic twice in 13 years.
for those still in like me, use the opportunity to get your partner thinking..

The shaded box in that study article " can we calculate the length of this generation" says regarding the length of a generation, " the exact length of that time cannot be stated except that it does have an end and would not be excessively long." I guess that over 2000 years is not excessively long. The society has done it again , never making any sense. If the apostles he was talking to were the first annointed and there is no limit of the time for the annointed to be chosen (their new light) then just how long will this so called generation last. Will a million years be excessively long.
The more they screw around with this generation thing the worse it gets.

Can any who grew up JW relate to this?
by Mickey mouse inconfession time!
i was raised in the troof and therefor never "chose" it.
i find it really hard to get my head around why anyone would ever join this organization as an adult.

I came to realize that the watchtower society is nothing but a social club with a religious theme. The club is like any other club (elks, moose, masons, etc). The important thing is the club ( wts). The members all think the same , if they don,t they are not excepted into the club. The members have the same agenda. People who don't agree to or go by the rules, are better off leaving. As george carlin said (about the rich), it is a club folks and you ain't part of it.
In my case I did not fit in to the club, and now I know why, I always knew something was wrong, things just did not make sense, but I thought I was in the club, but really I was not. Now I am not frustrated because I am not where I do not belong.
