  does anyone have scans of these references?

  this comment was taken from http://ed5015.tripod.com/jwoccultconnection58.htm.

  joseph rutherford, the second president of the wts, believed his spiritual enlightenment came from angels because the holy spirit had ceased functioning since 1918. the angels channeled information into his mind from god residing on the star alcyone.

  Is there any references to Russell saying this? " The angels channeled information into his mind from God residing on the star Alcyone"

  Nice WT quote. It's amazing what you'll accept when part of it and how you look back and can't believe you did.

  Pm'd you about it.

  Thats rubbish that you've had to go through that, it can't be easy for you.

  I was unaware that JWs couldn't take the pill, are you sure about that? I've known plenty of JW woman on the pill.

  Is the Watchtower shy about repeating their new "generation" teaching?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i recall in the 1980s talks and watchtower literature, magazines and books were always talking about the "generation" teaching and how it proved armageddon was going to come any day now.. but am i correct in thinking they have only actually mentioned the new "overlapping generations" teaching once or twice in the literature?

  why are they so shy about talking about their great new interpretation?

  it's almost enough to make you suspect they are a embarrassed about it.. mention it once or twice, don't dwell on it, hope everyone just accepts it, and don't bring it up again.

  Thanks for posting the scan, much appreciated. Although, it doesn't say that Russell believed or taught that, it's a quote from Rev J Seiss. I thought one of these old books may have said something about the information going straight to his mind from angels and God being on Alcyone. That would be interesting if it said those things.

  ok, so i was a young jw when i got married, and married a nice guy who was my first boyfriend.

  i thought we had chemistry, but things weren't really working out in the sex department after we got married.

  we had a pretty infrequent sex life for our whole realtionship...i'm talking months of dry spells.

  Spot on TD, reminds me of what Billy Connolly said, woman need to feel loved to have sex, men need sex to feel loved. Not always true of course, I don't really think I feel that way but it does have a ring of truth to it.

  how many of you feel that being a jw is like being in an abusive relationship?

  what do you think are the similarities?

  the differences?

  Spot on. Although I thought at the time the crap I took was Gods way of making me a better person, after all, that's what I was constantly being taught.

  Apparently the three jobs I did at the hall weekly was never quite good enough.
