Thanks Isaac & Ray. The bible is fairly easy to understand when we allow the holy spirit to teach us rather than allow men to skip & jump from verse to verse and force us to accept there teachings as the wt does.

response from Ray Franz on generation change
by isaacaustin inthanks for your letter and the thoughts contained.
others had commented on the latest shift of the interpretation of this generation.
as you recognize this allows for an unending extension of time and likely stems from an awareness of the approach of the year 2014 marking 100 years since the date of 1914.. .

Did You Hope Certain Newly Appointed Elders Would Change Things In Your Hall?
by minimus ini used to hear it all of the time!
i was 24 when i was first appointed as an elder.
certain ones who were disillusioned with the "old guard" were really hoping i'd come on board and change the way the body of elders did things.

littlebird
Min, did you have trouble being accepted because you were appointed young?
To your question, not really. I didn't think about it much, except that my husband was always jealous because he couldn't understand why he was never appointed.

Shared Child Abuse News with JW about Nancy Garrido being a JW
by flipper inwent to the post office the other day and saw this older jw , an elder, was outside holding the wall up leaning on it while being frozen standing there like a mannequin holding watchtowers and awakes .
i had one of my news releases from a sociologist explaining that phillip garrido used nancy garrido and the jehovah's witnesses to get out of prison so he could have access to children for sexual crimes ; thus enabling him in 1991 to kidnap jaycee dugard.
the title of the article is : " sex offender phillip garrido used jehovah's witnesses to get early parole ".

Great job, flipper! It amazes me how they will take face value that someone like that "has changed" , but can't believe a kid who accuses them. Keep up the good work.

Explain My Weird Dream---The Watchtower Was Using The Word "Minimusize"
by minimus ini remember seeing the wt.
magazine's frequent use of the word "minimusize" in a positive light.
and there was the sound and smell of ground coffee that was in the background.

Min, I'm sure this is a prophecy. You will infiltrate the Watch Towers mind control system. The people will begin by repeating your name. Then you will be able to have the people turn on the GB. Once you have accomplished this, because you are a good person, you will get the people to think for themselves, the wt will be abandoned and you'll be able to drop out of the picture.
Yep, I'm sure that's what it means. .............You smooth criminal.
