can someone help me understand how the wt came up with the overlapping generation theory?
i just don't understand it even though i read the information several times.
it's bewildering.
Since all gens overlap then this addition of the qualifying word "overlapping" can only mean that it gives them the out they needed to make it possible for the "this generation" to go on ...and on indefinitely.
IOW some fancy footwork was needed from the great thinkers known as WT writing department when they got the directive from above to "Make the generation teaching work - asap!"

Partaking of wine being offered to you at an event you were invited to is hardly the crime of the century.
In the grand scheme of acts of civil unrest this is paddling around in the kiddie pool.
Jehovah's Witnesses need to get over themselves.
30 years is a long time in the life of a human yet little is written about this time frame,l wonder why?

are df, da and apostates still shunned?
are each treated differently?
i heard a secondhand report that they seemed to have eased up on this practice ...
Pre-emptive shunning.
Casual shunning.
Partial shunning.
Full shunning.
Yes, all of the above is still going on "with bells on." You don't even have to be DF or inactive just "possible bad association."

congregations are full of older ones who were led to expect the end when they were still young enough to work ,and stay forever young.
now these ones face a sparse old age with little provision set aside.

Sophia's response to the WT.

I know which one I'd rather attend.
No-blood policy.
Shunning policy.
Anti higher education stance.
Their "two-witness rule" applied to child abuse.
Not reporting child abuse.
Retraumatising victims of child abuse by subjecting them to interogation by men unqualified and untrained to deal with child abuse, let alone investigate and pass judgement.
Labelling any members who disagree with their teachings and policies as "mentally diseased appstates."
Labelling non-members who disagree with their teachings and policies as "opposers."
Teaching women should be "in subjection" to men.
Oh and they are judgemental, narissistic, close-minded pains in the arse.
What's not to hate?
