  New Generation Understanding gives further reasons not to watch Star Trek reruns

  by pirata in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new light on the generation gives us even further reason not to watch star trek re-runs.. the title "star trek - the next generation" misleads people about the real meaning of what is meant by a "generation".. evidently the lives of starfleet officers who served aboard uss enterprise ncc-1701 would overlap with those who served aboard the uss enterprise ncc-1701-d. since spock and mccoy's life overlapped with picard's, they were contemporaries, and thus of the same generation.. if the producers of the show were truly sincere in advocating the truth, they would have titled the show "star trek - the contemporary overlapping generation continued".. my dear brothers and sisters: let us be resolved never to be deceived the by the deceptive entertainment of this world!.

  [ applause ].

  Yeah, it shouldn't be Star Trek: The Next Generation.

  It should be Star Trek: The Same Generation!

  you are invited to visit the equipment trailers to acquire items being liquidated by the rbc asset team, these items will be offered on a first come bases with voluntary donation.

  if you see any item you like please be in position to take it with you at that time, after you return to your congregation then you will make a donation of cash or check in the congregation contribution box designated for the support of the worldwide work.

  WOW! I wonder if this is just for your area or if it is on a larger scale? I know things are bad for the WT, but is it really at this point already?

  Maybe things are far worse than any of us realize . . .

  Kudos to Those in Military Service or Happy Belated Veterans Day

  in recent years i have come to value our military more and more as time goes by.

  as a jw, i was trained to view those in military service as murderers; or misguided fools.

  they are true heroes that help bring order to society.

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  dear mentally diseased apostates,.

  we are happy to report to you that we are tired of waiting around for jehovah to do his his whole "armageddon thing" and have instead taken steps to expedite the end ourselves.

  we are very confident as "guardians of the doctrine" that we can accomplish this by dismantling the wtbts and its subsidiaries which will, in turn, force god's hand and bring about the coming of jesus riding on a white horse out of the clouds with a sword - or skulls - or scales - err, whatever .

  Perhaps I should have added DO partake of the emblems. That seems to be the only thing going up in JW land.

  Do You Think 10% Tithing is Coming?

  by xjwsrock in

  firstly, there are cash flow problems in wt town.

  i don't think it's necessary to list all the cutbacks and layoffs, but there have been many.. their thirst for money seems higher too in my opinion.

  more entitled may be a better way of putting it.

  I'm not sure that they CAN tithe. Most Witnesses just out right couldn't afford it even if they wanted to.

  I don't see tithing as increasing the donations per-person by any significant amount. But I would see it waking a lot of people up or giving those half out an excuse to leave.

  Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?

  so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.

  all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.

  but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

  Neat Blue Dog,

  It's not a "marketing campaign" to try and make a great movie by putting the story and characters first. Nor is it a "marketing campaign" to intelligently blend practical effects and CGI together so that everything seems real - so that you're not pulled out of the story thinking 'boy that looks fake'.

  The prequels were bad for lots of reason. People don't hate on them because they want to be hipsters. People hate on them because they're just plain bad movies: bad acting, bad dialogue, no clear protagonist, a complete lack of jeopardy during most action sequences, and an absolutely disgusting overuse of deus ex machina to resolve problems - just to name of few.

  It went to sleep after the last of the masters of the force - Obi Wan, Yoda, Emperor Palpatine, and Darth Vader - all died within a few years of each other.
