JWs Destroying One Generation After Another

My mother in law is a regular pioneer. She has been one for almost twenty years now. I had the misfortune of being trapped into a conversation with her and a drunken, abusive pioneer/elder wannabe last night. They went on and on about how close we are to the end we can smell it now. She brought up how so many of the brothers & sisters are starting to pioneer now and are focusing all of their resources on the ministry. The kids especially are lining up in droves, choosing to pioneer instead of go to college.

I was nodding my head and trying to find a legitimate reason to dart off so I would avert my gag reflex from going into overdrive. All the while I was remembering how back in 1969 the society printed this in the May 22, 1969 Awake! on page 15:

" If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the 'last days' in 1914, Jesus foretold:'This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.' Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers."


Those are some powerful statements aren't they? Man, if I was a teen back in 69 I would have probably jumped to pioneer too. What a scary and awesome time to live in! How old are these people who were never to grow old in this present system of things? They are about 60 years old now!

Never grow old in this system...INDEED!


I also remember how back in the early to mid 1970's the Watchtower was preaching annhilatition, armageddon, and impending doom to arrive in 1975, and how many sold their homes, and other possessions in order to support their full-time preaching of the end of the world. The end never came and many of the people who sold all of their things were ruined financially.

Don't get me wrong, I feel that a person should give their all to Christ's Kingdom. However, to do so because an organization that is selling books puts unfair demands on people is wrong in my opinion. But, that is the story of the Watchtower then isn't it. Hasn't this group's greed pushed them to scare and bully people into believing their doom and gloom, "The End Is So Close We Can Smell It" routine for over 100 years?

It really indicates to me how they are not working in concert with God or His Holy Spirit. They MUST use nihilism to terrorize their adherents in order to get them out pushing their lies and more importantly, their literature. Nothing is more important than bringing money to lay at the altar of the governing body.

My mother in law brings in a lot of "Contributions", which attests to her diligence in the field service. She has not brought in a single soul to their so-called truth in over 12 years. Which in actuality is a good thing, but really...where is the fruit of her labors? Oh yes, the contributions. The cost of this fruit is too high in my opinion. She neglects her husband (my wifes dad) by either leaving him home alone or by calling him a Pharisee because he cannot attend meetings anymore. Even right after his most recent heart attack she took off to go preach.

Why? Because she said it is because needs to make her "Hours" and because "Armageddon is almost here!!!!". Actually, I think it is because she loves to fight with people too. She told me that she loves nothing more than to argue with people at their doors and have them call her an idiot, so she can get good and mad. No wonder the JWs in this world are so depressed, scared, and full of hate. They are being motivated by fear instead of Love For Their Neighbor when they go out to preach.

Today we have another generation of young people that is being denied an education, the ability to interact socially, and to get close to Christ Jesus because of being raised by blind parents to serve the Watchtower cult. Another generation is being destroyed by false teachings and greed. I think it is important that they be prayed for and that Jesus take hold of their futures. Don't they deserve a chance to hear from Jesus and make up their own minds about how they will live their lives?

I made a video about the kids from the 60s & 70s who are now being discarded by the wt because they are getting old. It is linked here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrH8kpexihk or you can find it in my video section above on the right hand panel. It is titled, "Serve Jehovah In Your Youth" Check it out when you have a few minutes.

Boy, this is something to think about... it is well-written and the quote from the JW literature is so revealing. Thanks for your thoughts...

'Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers."

A LIE.

we are 40 years on from that statement and many have 'fulfilled careers that this system offered.'

This stuff did happen, is happining
and will continue to happen, until people start to wake up. My grandson on the advice of some older members of his congreation, quit high school to pioneer for a couple of years, and then go Bethel to work his way into God's Kingdom, but then he found out how much hard work was involved and how little pay was offered he decided to keep pioneering, but instead of Bethel he got a job at the local mall selling video games and comic books. This is the perfect job for him, his spiritual life and his secular life dovetail very well.

My only real comment is you can fix a lot of things in this life, but stupid is not one of them.
Great article I hope many young people read it and take heed
