  No, that is not understood by any definition of a generation except the convoluted WT definition

  Besides your remarks, you have not invalidated WT teaching of "this generation" as not conforming to the definition of generation.

  Fisherman, how is their overlapping generation definition a valid one?

  Axiom that a generation definition includes overlapping ages. Applying the prophesy to the "anointed," the present "this generation" teaching conforms to such definition.

  The overlapping generation teaching is SO stupid its beyond parody.

  It is still a valid definition, nonetheless.

  Is there any significance to the classification, as long people read, have fun, rejuvenate their synapses?

  I don't think it is funny to start a topic fooling everyone into believe that it is a serious topic and it turns out to be a big joke. Suppose people started doing that all over the Forum?

  some of the wt beliefs are obviously jokes

  Then some of the category "Beliefs and Practices" of JW should be a sub-category of "Jokes and Humor." It is not.

  There is no "CARROT

  What do you know about what is and isn't --besides your guesses?

  compare

  "..But that the fear of something after death,. The undiscovered country from whose bourn. No traveler returns, puzzles the will." --Bill Shakespeare

  compare

  "If a man smiles all of the time, he is probably selling something that does not work." --George Carlin (dead at 71)

  compare

  "They will sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one will make them afraid, For the very mouth of Jehovah of armies has spoken." --Micah 4:4

  US violent crimes and murders rose in 2016, the FBI says

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i can't remember the exact topic but i think a few people predicted the same thing - that the blm movement would cause an increase in violent deaths of young black men, ultimately doing more harm than good.. and so it has: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41391333.

  an 8.6% rise in the homicide rate is pretty appalling by any standard unless it started at very low levels, which we know it didn't.. this is why i object to movements based on false premises and invented media lies / selective coverage.

  the people who suffer the most are not the ones marching in the streets.

  The fact is, as it always has been, that the police are not the biggest threat to the black community as some like to make out.

  Yes, but the police threaten black criminals making it harder for them to commit crimes, and that is why they make it out that way, that the police are a threat to blacks, and if they get caught by the police then BLM. ( No justification for abuse by the criminal justice system towards blacks or anybody else ) The biggest threat to blacks in poor, drug infested neighborhoods where cops patrol are black criminals.
  

  rioting and looting

  You shouda seen the blackout in NYC back in the late 70s. The only reason for it was the power outage.
