There is clearly a disconect building between the new generation of Witnesses coming up through the congregations and the GB. Even some of the older Elders are becoming uneasy about the way the GB are behaving.

Unrest in the Governing Body
by JWFreak inone of the many questions that i am asked is what are the current gb members like, who are the hardliners and who are more moderate.. because of my previous job, at a european bethel, i had dealings with most of them with the exception of sam herd.. these are my observations of my conversations with them and how others who had dealings with them.. other ex bethelites may have contrary views to mine, but i would be surprised.. i had spent a lot of time with splane, lett and morris.
hardliners.
david splane, without doubt the one who commands the most respect and attention.

Mr Moody
Daniel was ment to be quite detailed in all his other visions/dreams and some how I doubt he'd miss an important detail like the number of toes, if there was 11, 12 or whatever. If you follow that reasoning along, Daniel dosen't specifically how many arm and legs the image has...The mind Boggles....It's all Hogwash.

Welcome ,you'll never be without a listening ear here. Though i don't post much, my other half does and I keep up to date that way. I know a member of our family who is an Elder has been on here, though he knows nothing of our situation. We know the threads he was reading. Fear not he wasn't gathering information to oust someone, I think he's just want to know whats happening in the organization. Maybe he will see something that will make him think...I hope so. At times I feel like coming out with it all how we feel, but the thought of the repercussions scare me.

Mr Moody
I find it interesting and find out more about Witnesses than I ever do at the meetings(yes I still go)..When a lot of your family are witnesses it's hard to just cut yourselves off "cold turkey" style as "On the way out" said. Personally I don't find the need to discuss every feeling and gripe I have about JWs and others , but I can understand those who do need to talk about it. The one thing I do benefit from is the knowledge that I'm(we) are not alone in what we are going through.

Since 9/1/2002What would be essential to such a Youtube video is the illustration of the Flood that appeared in an '80s brochure or tract. I've been searching for it for years, I hope someone has it. It is an updating of the same illustration of the Flood that appeared in the 1978 My Book of Bible Studies....with one exception, it shows a Tyrannosaurus Rex drowning. I swear I remember this because I was surprised when I saw it....I'm hoping someone has a copy of the image.
I remember the illustration and in later versions I think it was changed to a Wooly Mamouth and also a sabre toothed tiger on a log....or is my mind playing tricks on me.

Discussion on the way out of convention
by Mickey mouse insunday evening there were a group of sisters talking on their walk back to the carpark.
"so if the generation just means that your life overlapped with people who were around in 1914, couldn't that just go on forever?".
""i guess...." (looked at each other confused, then at me as i walked past).. to which i said: "oh yes, remember the days when the generation was a simple 70 years from 1914?".

I put a general posting about bizzare new idea of a generation on my Facebook page, where many of my Witness relatives will be able to see it...I wait with interest whether any respond to it....though my wifes uncle is certainly puzzled by this new light.

Loving your beutiful children
by jambon1 ini had little or no problems with my beliefs as an 18 year old convert to the jehovah's witness religion.
fair enough, there were a few things that i found a bit wacky & odd, but i was on the road to life.
i couldn't give a rats arse about many things.

As a father to two beautiful Children my self I fully agree with your sentiments. Today I attended our District Convention in Manchester , England and I felt totally detached from what I was seeing ,I felt like some one looking into a goldfish bowl watching fish swiming round and round going nowhere...I will not be there next year.
