during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.
i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.
at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.
my parents had several CO's stay with them on their visits---none were what i would call normal. the most well known was the late Ken Richmond--the man who banged the gong in Rank film titles.
i had Bevan Vigo stay at my house when he was a new CO--hes at London HQ now.
i think a fair number had wives with wealthy parents--judging by the clothes they wore.
why does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
" as having overlapping generations ?
and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?
Matt.24:34 "Truly I say to you these overlapping generations will by no means pass away until all these things occur."
does that sound better ?
the city in which i work is flooded with those witnessing carts.
today im going to approach one of them and pretend i dont know what they believe.

i am agnostic.

how odd--i cant turn to pages 2 or 3 on this thread.
deemunz.
notice the 144000 can be counted and they all come from israel.. 9 after this i saw, and look!
a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,*+ standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes;+ and there were palm branches in their hands.+ .
this great crowd, no man was able to number, and they come from every nation!
i wonder how many dubs would up and leave if the watchtower did an about turn on this--and say the great crowd will die and go to heaven after all ?
any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.
i hope that they will never ask me that question.
any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

hi--my name is Stan and i'm an alcoholic.
i was going to reply to another thread, but thought this might deserve a separate topic.. my observations when i was a still in.. the announcement that jesus christ (the co) is visiting our local kh.. would anyone like to "volunteer" their time, money and accommodation for jesus christ.. all ass lickers of said kh come forward to receive jesus christ.
a concerted effort for all to be out in the ministry that week, along with panicking elders visiting homes of those who have not been at the meetings for at least a week, offering "encouragement" so that the number of attendance is up for the week visit.. the self righteous in the kh who would never speak to you (pioneers included) and look down their noses at you all of a sudden start to speak to you.. during the visit, the elders are on their best behavior, thanking everyone who answers up.
the pioneers are martyring themselves by making cakes and practically washing the feet of the jesus christ.. the attendance does rise, with studies being brought along, to show jesus christ what a good little jw they are.. most indoctrinated jw's practically shoot each other to have a turn on the ministry with jesus christ!.
back in the day--we called him the circuit serpent.
