Guess the Last Days Are Getting Better
by LostGeneration inyou won't read this one in the wt.... homicide is no longer a leading cause of death in the united states, the centers for disease control and prevention reports.. the leading causes of death in 2010 remained the same, the cdc reported, except for one: homicide.
for the first time since 1965, homicide is not in the top 15 list of causes of death in the united states.. http://www.huliq.com/10473/homicide-no-longer-top-killer-united-states-cdc-reports.

This is funny.
I recently shared a similar article with a friend and they promptly threw the article back at me without reading all of it. Any fact or information that challenged his presupposed world view created too much cognitive dissonance to handle. He simply refused to read it and said, "we are supposed to keep on the watch", maybe the fact that crime is dropping, is Satan's way of making us think the end is far off."
I gave up with that person.

Once you realized the organization is simply a religious corporation, how did you leave?
Did you fade?
Were you forced out?
How did you adjust to life on the outside?
Do you still have social or family connections within the organization?
What did you do to supplant the lost friends, routine, and sense of purpose?
Your experiences are appreciated.

SMART phones: I got my first iPhone
by Terry infor my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .
anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.
i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.

It really is amazing isn't it? I rarely use a computer at home anymore because of my iPhone. It is incredible.

How much longer will 1914 be preached??
by OneDayillBeFree inwas in the city today and saw an old factory with the year of its beginning painted on the wall saying "since 1914", and thought "thats a long time ago".. i believe the teaching of 1914 will slowly fade away and be forgotten in about 10-15years, give or take... it's seriously starting to lose its touch.. millions now living will never buy it.... but since it's a hardcore doctrine of jdubbies and the watchtower used to pinpoint the coming of jesus(invisible), the start of the famous "last days", the 144,000 and part of the reason the govering body have their power, they will have to find a damn good explanation and another alternative.
.
or it could just remain unchanged.... .

I was wondering the same. Even my awakening wife has said, "somethings gotta give in 2014 now that we are 100 years into the reign."
Despite this fact I agree with the posters who say that the Society will hold fast to the date. The past 100 years has been spent proclaiming Christ's presence. If they were to back away from it doctrinally it invalidates all of the work over the past century to advertise an event that never happened.
I was looking at the header ( Reasons for publishing) in the Watchtower magazine the other day and noted that 1914 is not mentioned anymore. Does any one know when that change was made?

Dozy,
Good point. It seems as if they are laying the groundwork for a major change. 144K as a symbolic number would be a likely change, I think that it is inevitable. There are more and more annointed partakers but fewer and fewer in brooklyn leadership positions. The Society has done such a good job of closing the doors of the heavens that there are very few suitable successors to the GB 2.0.
