How old is old?

by joey jojo in

having a conversation with a pimi elder and i asked him how he deals with the fact that he never expected to get old.

i get the feeling that some dubs still have the original generation explanation hard-wired, even though they claim to accept the new version.

so my question is, how old do you have to be to be considered old?

I was baptized the month after the publication date of this Watchtower. I left the religion 10 years ago.

Armageddon still isn't here. I'm beginning to think it's never coming!

Let's review: It's a cult!

What Did You Do With All Your Meeting Clothes?

i literally had dozens of suits.

i still have more dress clothes than anyone i know.

i did give some suits and clothing away and to be honest, i still like wearing a nice suit.. brothers and sisters, are all your “ meeting clothes” still in your closet?

I gave most to the local Goodwill store. I kept a select few because occasionally a guy needs to wear a suit.

For example, my wife and I recently attended a family wedding.

No JWs were in attendance!

this last week i stopped at an antique store that i go to now and then.

the lady who owns it is about 62 and very nice.

i was looking at a vintage 1963 ouija board.

A JW can be disfellowshipped for anything three elders can agree upon.

that’s my attitude toward anyone making an assertion.

i’m sick of people saying such and such is true simply because we are saying it.

i would think that those here would agree because we all have been jehovah’s witnesses.

Minimus, I’m sorry you took it that way. That wasn’t my intent.

There’s really no need to be defensive. My comment wasn’t meant to be anything but congratulatory. I was genuinely complimenting you.

Please keep going. Your progress is evident. I’ve been watching it for years now—about a decade in fact. 👍

Well done!
