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.

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.

overlap(tm)'?

That is not a new concept. But part of the original definition of generation taught by wt in the early 1900,s

Generations don't replace other ones
Hope that somehow they do!

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..

Fisherman

At 91+

You hang in there Waton! The righteous will possess the earth and live forever upon it.

Free Will - Does It or Does It Not Exist?

by truth_b_known in

being born-in and raised as one of jehovah's witnesses i remember a common theme or phrases used by the watchtower in its theory of why things are the way they are -.

jehovah created humans.

jehovah created humans as free moral agents.

Fisherman

Not being funny, but I'm not convinced a does God exist.

He can give you empirical evidence specially to you to convince you but what difference would that make except that you will know with certainty. Of there is any ultimate justice every person will know.

World wars, and all the other parts of Jesus sign that identity his parausia correspond with 1914 and all the events that followed and the preaching work is all evidence that this is the time period that Jesus prophesied about. Therefore the great tribulation must come during this era of the anointed of the JW. Only the great tribulation with the tethered immediate events has not occurred yet. So seeing all the other evidence, the the gt will hit shortly.

As I said before everybody that was alive in 1914 is gone now both righteous wicked and anointed. Given all the other fulfilled parts the the prophecy, the passing away can only refer to the overlap. Which means that evil generation is not the meaning of generation today.
