Did you ever meet someone born in the 1800’s?

by Fisherman in

i met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.

but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

first I thought this thread was just an innocent question

It is.

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.

by Fisherman in

obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.

and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.

in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

The generation Jesus talked about would experience the aforementioned composite sign as well as the events of the great tribulation.

39 In reply he said to them: “A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah the prophet.

the exact opposite of what Jesus taught about the last generation , all fulfillments.

The point is that the length of “this generation” is limited to the age of the second group of anointed.

Polio is spreading in New York waters

by Fisherman in

according to news reports, the polio virus has been spreading in ny waters since april of this year.

polio is a crippling disease that affects the bones.

i actually know someone that had polio and is crippled shrinking the length of his arm and leg.

According to news reports, the polio virus has been spreading in NY waters since April of this year. Polio is a crippling disease that affects the bones. I actually know someone that had polio and is crippled shrinking the length of his arm and leg. I also remember a boy who had polio aged 10 walking around with metal braces over his limbs for support when I was age 5. I also went to a orthopedic doctor for a checkup at age 13 who had polio. I wonder how in the world did polio come back into the US. My guess and I’m probably wrong is illegal aliens “sneaking across the border” and then going to NY on their own to live or being sent there by the government. I’m just guessing.

Does that make me a part of the Civil War generation?

Wt now interprets “this generation” to refer to the generation of the “anointed” .So the focus changed from the generation of 1914 to the generation of the anointed and it is their lifespan only that limits the length of generation. For example if someone was alive during the civil they were part of that generation. And if an anointed individual’s life over lapped and was anointed during the life of FF for example, one of the oldest anointed (and I met older) he is considered part of the anointed generation that will not pass away until all these things occur—as wt interprets that scripture at this time. So simply put. It ain’t about the 1914 generation that should not pass away.

very silly of them. overlap

Valid dictionary definition seems to me. The puzzle is what did Jesus mean by generation in the olivette in terms of time. WT had applied a definition of generation to a time limit until recently. At present there is no wt defined time limit assigned to the olivette generation except that the second group of anointed will not die off before the great tribulation. Nothing more is officially stated or implied.

Do you believe that this life is all there is

by Fisherman in

the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.

what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

Fisherman

have made certain that his "subjects" were clearly made aware of a future life,

The Bible makes that crystal clear.

Beware of "organization." - They said it!

by punkofnice in

watchtower, september 15, 1895: "beware of "organization.

" it is wholly unnecessary.

the bible rules will be the only rules you will need.

Fisherman

WT claims progressive understanding and not that wt teachings is an un changeable standard. For example, wt once celebrated christmas and believed in the cross.
