THIS GENERATION - again! Who belongs to "This Generation"?

by Titus in

what about dan sydlik and henschel milton, for example?.

they were born in 1919 and 1920 (after 1914), and both died before the "great tribulation".. .

the definition of wt says:.

Most JW's can only describe the first meaning of "this generation". My Mom is

in her 80's and this is what she still believes. She doesn't understand the

last two flashes of "new light" and she sure as hell won't understand the

latest change. Most JW's will not be able to explain the change and the

ones that do will say that this is further proof that we have the Truth because

the light is getting brighter and brighter. Some who are really deep thinkers

will even state that this is another sign of how close we are to the end even

though the Witchtower Babel and Trick Society has just added another 70 to

80 years of waiting until the Great Tribulation.

The Witnesses are freaking out

by Sour Grapes in

I still go to a few meetings a month just to keep members of my family happy.

The Witnesses seemed to be getting all worked up about how close the end

is. It sorta feels like the 1975 era only 35 years later. The brother who gave

the talk said that the "end is very very near." He said that he became a

Witness in 1990 so he missed all of the fun in 1975. Then during the Witchtower

study some brother commented how thankful we should all be that Jehovah has not

yet brought Armageddon because how many would not be here today.

I just zoned out as my brain began to bleed.

My memorial Memorial

by Sour Grapes in

well i attended the memorial a few days ago and it always amazes me.

that on this night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking.

lot.

Sour Grapes

Well I attended the Memorial a few days ago and it always amazes me

that on this night that the JW's forget how to park their cars in the parking

lot. I pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where

and how to park my car. For God's sake the parking spaces are marked and

the cars are parked no differently than the other 364 days of the year.

I walk inside and you can tell which JW's have Bible students there because

they have the biggest smiles and wear these individuals like badges of

honor. Then there is the rag tag visitors in blue jeans and tea shirts. I

keep thinking what in God's green earth would make these people want to

come to the KH one night out of the year?

Of couse there was the love bombing that you only get until you get

baptized. I could tell that those who were getting bombed enjoyed the

attention. The talk was the same this year as last year. "We are here

to observe the Memorial of Christ death but you will not be partaking of

the emblems." Jesus said to keep doing this in rememberance of me. All

that heard his works drank the wine and eat the bread, however not one

partook of the emblems at our hall. If we are to keep doing this than why

are we not doing what Jesus said to do?

I am glad that another year has passed and I just can't wait for next

years Memorial.

V's memorial teaser - its time to get busy with your email campaigns :-)

by besty in

they had better wine glasses at this hall, but otherwise everything was the same.

we had one at our hall last year.

so the people in the side rows get to hold the wine glass twice.

i was just reading an email from rick fearon about the conference call this saturday.

i'm starting to think that some things they say are a bunch of crap.

they seem too stuck in the past and can;t seem to let go.

2010 DC" Remain in Gods Love"...Most Unloving Yet??

by JWFreak in

jw
friends

the talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.

this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.

this is a fact!!.

Sour Grapes

They could forbid oral sex, or they could forbid holding hands during the KH

prayers, or they could demand what rooms to stay in during the summer

conventions, or they could control how short or long the sisters dresses have

to be, or they could say that the sisters can't wear pants in the freezing cold

while out selling the magazines, they could demand that beards are not allowed

even though Jesus and Russel had one, they could demand that everyone move

and sit closer toward the front of the stage at the KH, they coul demand that

they have the right to come to your house for a shepard call, they could demand

that even if you only have 15 minutes of preaching time that you count it, they

could demand what assembly you have to attend in the summer, they could

demand that while at the summer convention that you can not leave the location for lunch,

they could demand that R rated movies are off limits, they could demand that being overly

sad at the death of a loved one is an indication that you do not trust the resurrection,

they could demand that if you are sick that should not stop you from coming to the

meetings, they could demand that young people should strife to go to Bethel as they

push out of Bethel the older ones. My brain is starting to bleed.

The end is nigh!

by highdose in

jw

after a year of having been out and 7 months on jwn, i like to think that i'm pretty well deprogrammed.. one thing i still have trouble with though is the mental attitude of thinking that the end is coming soon.

difficult to explain this, but its like a mental awareness that is always there no matter what.. and of course the end is not coming, i just don't know how to get my brain to realise this?!?
