JW's - Hard to admit that much of life was a waste
by xelder infrom my observations, i think many (especially older) jw's hold through the stupid doctrinal changes because they can't admit the alternative.. i had wished the jw kingdom hope was true, i needed it to be true.
i'm 5th generation and my parents, grandparents, great grand.....ect needed it to be true.
i have watched many "faithful" relatives hang on and die disappointed.

JWs and hard times
by xelder inthe developed world is having hard economic times.
so, for a while now jw's have been voicing the familiar "it can't go on...things are so hard".
i'm in the usa, and the economics are tough, relative to this country.

Albert Schroeder and Sputnik
by xelder inas i read the ray franz books a couple years ago, he mentioned several things that i had personal knowledge of.
this really gave a ring of truth to everything he wrote, even if there were some things that couldn't be verified.
one thing was the idea that some of the gb thought sputnik was a signicant event marking the last days.

by xelder ini asked 2 elders on seperate occasions (because i'm careful) - the following scenario:.
a man comes to the elders and asks if he can take blood fractions for clotting since he is a bleeder.
the elders tell him it's up to his conscience.
