  over time a number of different 'classes' of members have arisen on this forum.

  1] apple watch watchers - this group takes a great interest in watches worn by members of the governing body.

  2] cult escape consultants - one who freely offers advise on how to flee from a cult - mainly the wt society.

  check his signature... it looks kind of childish/feminine (at least in my part of the world)... is this a grown man's signature for you?.

  And to think that Jackson said under oath in front of the RC that he was unaware of the shunning policy.

  TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

  by Designer Stubble in

  2. bible

  guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

  david spane does his best to explain it again.

  the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

  Great comment WingCommander. I am 58 and like you know all about the expectations that are now forgotten history. What we have now is just unbelievably dumb.

  While I have no idea why I don't remember this. I was a BS conductor for more than one repeat of the Revelation book.

  This was the time when they came up with the book of Revelation I believe in the 80s. It was a big deal back then. Then we studied the book for about 4 or 5 times. It depicts the situation after the 1000 years reign of JC when many will not like the situation of a paradise earth and rebel.

  True believers never save their money

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's an article of faith.

  either god is going to save them or he is not.

  since one local elder proudly told me that he never saved a nickel until just before his retirement, i've given this subject some thought.. savers are worldly..

  This is a cult that considers saving for the future, especially retirement, a lack of faith.

  Shame on them.

  Numbers are wonderful - numbers give the illusion of activity (I am a CPA and love numbers, so I mean no sarcasm, but I understand the limitation of numbers).

  The fact that we understand the value of numbers is what separates us from lesser forms of life. You don't see dogs or monkeys counting the times they poop.

  I saw the picture and a few of the posts. Where on earth did this picture come from? I do not remember this from any of my JW memories. Is this new, what is the context? I am confused, and slightly disturbed.

  In regards to porn: Some have given in to this temptation by allowing their minds to dwell on what is bad. But we can resist, even as thousands of our brothers have done.

  That is an odd statement. Given that there are millions of brothers, is the article suggesting that the ones that resist only reach into the thousands?

  In regards to not blaming Satan, I agree. But the same could be said for any other temptation. As the saying goes - we are our own worst enemy.

  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.
