So what do your Jehovah's Witness friends and loved ones think of the generation teaching?
by garyneal inafter the little skit at the last assembly where one brother was asking another for understanding about the generation teaching i thought, "wow, these people will believe anything the watchtower tells them.
" the 'more mature brother' practically said verbatim everything the watchtower said as his explanation.
evidently, this is one of the sources of the increased 'murmuring' that the talked warned against.. so, has anyone brought this up to their witness friends and/or family?

At the Assembly... Did you catch that talk about encouraging young ones to pursue a career in the ministry? ...and what about that 'murmuring'
by garyneal inyes, i heard that talk where apparently (in my wife's circuit that is) there are 5 times as many pioneers over 50 or 60 than there are amongst the younger people.
there was also 3 or 4 times as many elders and ms's amongst the elderly than there are amongst young people.
the message, parents, friends, encourage your young ones to pursue an education and a career in the ministry.

Brother Sidekick and his wife came to our house today. This ones for Moshe
by garyneal inwow, two days after my conversation with brother hero that brother sidekick shows up with his wife at our apartment.
i am not sure what he wanted but he shows me a newspaper article that suggests that jesus was in jail for the last supper and calculates his death at 33 c.e.. i honestly dont know what he was trying to get at but he and his wife started talking about the memorial.
he said that just like what the newspaper article said, the jews no longer use the old calendar.

Well, I guess I am marked now...
by garyneal inmy wife did a talk last night at the kingdom hall concerning how a god of love could kill people.
she asked me to come with her because she wanted the emotional support.
i agreed and we were all on the way.

My wife goes to my cousin's church to see her get baptized.
by garyneal inmy cousin has been messaging us on facebook, asking me if i would come to her church to see her get baptized.
i tend to ignore my cousin because of a bad experience i had with her mom and dad (my aunt and uncle).
i know it is wrong now and i feel bad about it now.

Did Jesus empty himself of all his knowledge when he came to Earth?
by garyneal ini learned in church this past sunday that jesus must have emptied himself of all of his knowledge when he came to earth.
this is based on luke 2:51, 52 where it states then he went down to nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
but his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

Brother Hero and Brother Sidekick, should I ask Brother Sidekick about the 1919 selection?
by garyneal ini went to the nearby 7-eleven on my lunch break to get a fountain drink and i happened to bump into some people from my wifes congregation including brother hero and brother sidekick.
brother hero was the guy who conducted a bible study with me using the bible teach book (my god, i have been around the witnesses and former witnesses too much as i even know the cult speak and book name abbreviations).
during our study he began bringing over another brother from the congregation who i began referring to as brother sidekick.. i found out from my wife that brother sidekick is the son-in-law of one of the elders in that congregation.

Rule #1. Nothing like this happens in an IFB church.
by garyneal ini saw this on the ifb facebook wall that i felt you all might appreciate.. rule #1. nothing bad happens in an ifb church.. rule #2. should something bad happen to anyone or sect outside of the ifb, decry them as loudly and as publicly as you can to bolster your people's illusion that the ifb is the only true church.. rule #3. take whatever steps are necessary to insure that rule #1 remains true in the eyes of everyone.. rule #4. should something bad happen in an ifb church, refer back to rule #1..
