    but as anticipated not only is it not a problem but rather prompts expressions like this. "It just highlights to
    mean just how awesome and loving Jehovah is. It is like he is unraveling his purpose before us but in a way that keeps us
    mesmerized!

    yup, the gb could say anything they want and it would be wonderful. The full blurb from this brain dead is as follows.

    Bro. Barr brought this point out during his talk at the annual meeting. And he repeated it for emphasis. For me, it pulled together
    recent understandings that the callings for members of the 144,000 has apparently not yet ceased (1/15/08 wt) and the enlightened
    understanding last year that the "generation" referred to the anointed, not the wicked generation of mankind. It just highlights to
    mean just how awesome and loving Jehovah is. It is like he is unraveling his purpose before us but in a way that keeps us
    mesmerized! It also definitely clearly emphasizes why we must resist focusing on dates and just set about focusing on carrying out Jesus'
    commands regarding being busy in the ministry, seeking first Jehovah's Kingdom and righteousness, cultivating the love among ourselves that
    will clearly identify us as Jesus' true followers, keeping our eye simple, and so forth.

    Yup, Jehovah had to, thru his spirit direct them to say half a dozen "different" things about generation in order to "mesmerize" them.

    Many who were worried about the generation will say this new crap explains it for rhem, and they are now comfortable with it.

    "We must resist focussing on dates" said Barr.

    The problem is, when the R&F wake up to just how elastic this spurious generation is, the urgency goes out of their thinking.

    To get this back, the only recourse the Gibbering Body has is to set another date.

    Thoughts ?

    My thoughts are:

    Whatever feels good at the time. It's like the WTBTS has no morals, goes to a theological orgy, and does whatever feels good at the time.

    To be announced.

    That's how it is in destructive, mind control cults. It has nothing to do with facts/details/reality/Scripture.

    Leadership says jump, members ask how high.

    Fear and guilt drive everything. Fear of dying at Armageddon for being disloyal and guilt of not being good enough to survive Armageddon.

    Barr stated, " We must resist focusing on dates. " That's because the dips screwed UP and have ALWAYS focused on dates thus deceiving members to think it's the time of the end ! So now if they soft pedal any dates - they can keep members duped indefinitely. A-holes

    I would venture to guess less than 5% of them have read this magazine yet. When they do or when this article is studied, so few of them will even pick up the change. The last change went unnoticed by most.

    The ones that figure it out will be greatful. Just the last change, a few (like myself) will have had enough and leave.

    And the cult continues......

    Most will stay regardless. For some, it will be finally the last straw.

    The two responses I got from elders so far were:

    1. We simply cannot understand in what ways the holy spirit works with the FDS/GB

    2. Our worship of Jehovah should not depend on Chronology
