LIFE IS TOO SHORT- Great thread ! Thanks for posting it !
The quote : " Those in the two groups constituting the generation are contemporaries during the part of the last days. " First of all - there can't be TWO groups of a different age in ONE generation. Each generation IS it's own age.
Generation definition : " The average time in which children are ready to take the place of their parents ( usually figured at 30 years ). " Readers Digest Oxford Wordfinder Dictionary
Contemporary definition : " Living or occurring at the same time. APPROXIMATELY EQUAL IN AGE . A person or thing living or existing AT THE SAME TIME as another. A person of roughly THE SAME AGE AS ANOTHER. "
All anointed ARE NOT the same age as each other. So I call bull$hit on the WT societies false definitions. The WT society has become very deceitful in making their OWN definitions for words like " generation " or " contemporaries " or even " worldly " . Think about it. They change the meanings of words ALL THE TIME. Weirdos.
Also the quote : " How comforting it is to know that the younger anointed contemporaries of those older anointed ones who discerned the sign when it became evident beginning in 1914 WILL NOT DIE OFF ( where have we heard THAT before ? ) before the great tribulation starts ! " Translation : John Barr is screwed royally ! Dude's 97 years old ! It's almost insulting to HIM that they used HIM to announce this change !
But the reality of the whole matter is the YOUNGER contemporaries are screwed just like John Barr- because they will all die as well. Everybody dies. Period
