Generation expiry date?
by pleaseresearch inhow long will it take for a jw to see that even the overlapping generation is wrong?.
the org waited and waited to see if their interpretation of it came true.
those alive in 1914 would still be alive obviously it didn't and jws have to believe in an overlapping generation.

I just went through a brainstorm! Change the word generation in Luke 21:32 to a plural:
"Truly I say to you that these generations will by no means pass away until all things happen."
That will eliminate any expiry date. They'll have to revise this in the Newer World Translation but what the hell, they always do that.

Any thought behind your " Avatar"
by The Rebel ini think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

Bringing children into this System of Things.
by Nihilistic Journey inbefore i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.
they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.
is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.

During the late 1970s I saw that a young sister my age got engaged to be married. I thought that was bad because of the Bible verse that said "woe to any woman who has a suckling child". That was the mentality back then.
There is also Joseph's Rutherford's book Children, written in the 1940s, where the characters John and Eunice forego marriage and having children because Armageddon was close.

Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?
by JimmyPage inthe reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.
.
i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

I knew a JW woman, in the late 1990s, who divorced for "spiritual reasons". Those were her own words. -

AGREE? or DISAGREE? Popular Music

"from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

Xanthippe:
I agree pop music has become boring. Most of it is about boy meets girl, surely there's more going on in the world to write about. What happened to the protest songs?
Yes, I miss those protest songs from the 1960s. However, they were a product of a different generation. We're too self-absorbed nowadays.
