come to think of it--i did know a wealthy JW family in Portsmouth UK--back in the 80's. they owned a double glazing company with showrooms dotted around. drove Rolls Royces. went bust.

When is the last time you saw an educated middle class family become Jehovah's Witnesses?
by xjwsrock inwe know from casual observation that if anybody does respond to their preaching/recruiting work it is usually someone that is a social misfit in some way or a person that was indoctrinated early in life.. think about all the nicer neighborhoods witnesses preach in.
if a family of four with a father that is an engineer and a mother who is a medical professional ever walked into a kingdom hall for the first time and said they were studying, people would faint.
lol.... this of course isn't what you would expect from a religion backed by the ultimate intelligent creator.

the congregation i grew up in--early 60's....there were a few " upper class" types---in other words--earning good money--car owners. the rest were definitely riff raff. and my god---the jealousy---you could cut it with a knife.
my old mum started studies with several trash families. scroungers...moaners...i could see through them--mother couldnt. they sponged off her constantly.

First posting on here..Hello all
by London Underground injust wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.
the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.
having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.

Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching
by Jules Saturn inso this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.
to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.
david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

no need to revise it. overlapping generations can keep on overlapping ad infinitum.. means armageddon is still just around the corner in gods timescale--or maybe 100,000 years to us. dont worry about it. splane knows what hes talking about.
