  Start with asking questions and leave it to him to give you a satisfactory answer from the Bible - not the literature. Ask him to explain the Generation teaching, and how it can be that the Generation of 1914 is now gone. Next question is for him to explain the current teaching of who the faithful and discrete slave is - again using the Bible to justify his answer. This should fill your visit.

  Viviane,

  I am NOT ill informed and DID watch the show. Indeed question everything - which as I pointed out is NOT allowed as a JW to question the WTBTS teachings.

  Just watched it...impressive (but nothing really new if you are up-to-date on Science topics)
  
  I can't help but seeing the inquisition and how anybody asking questions was excommunicated as a complete parallel to what the Governing Body does today... Anyone voicing the slightest doubts or questioning things is labeled "apostate" and disfellowshipped (excommunicated).
  
  I hope this series of COSMOS opens the eyes of a few more and encourages people to "question everything".

  What Bomb Will Be Dropped at This Years District Convention?

  by kneehighmiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  our insightful posters on this site were able to predict the new "spirit directed" generation teachings and fds teaching even years in advance.

  what bomb do you thing will be dropped this year?

  i know it will be big.

  If any bomb is dropped, it will be at the AGM early October. My best guess would be one of the following:

  - The DC will be discontinued and replaced with the AGM (also one day, max 2)

  - The 144k will become a symbolic number rather than literal (but they may push this change a few years out)

  - Public Magazines become only available on-line (Tracts now counted as placements)

  Look at whatever teaching are not sustainable or whatever costs can be cut and you will have their changes.

  "They are LAZY"?!?!?!?!?

  One thing I am not and most active "apostates" and that is lazy. I am far more knowledgeable about and up-to-date on JW teachings that probably 999 out of the 1000 witnesses. I could debate any JW with a seconds notice.

  Detroit DC is NOT filling up? Please book a hotel room!! -letter

  by ?me? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have had a letter read the last 2 meetings to all congs attenidng the detroit dc's... seems people are not going, or not booking their hotels.

  and the society is pissed!

  they are imploring every one to not wait for a new list with new hotels, it is not happening.

  I think many are looking online for good hotel rates (e.g. Booking.com) and see that they can get better and closer hotels for a better rate than the WTBTS offers. In this case, Detroit being one of the most violent dangereous cities will not attract either.

  If the DCs no longer create the expected Cash, they too will soon be history.

  Not a written rule...but my wife and I faded six years ago after having been in respectively 20 and 40 years. How many active JWs still have any contact with us...indeed ZERO.
