bottom line on new generation thinking -very simple

by nowwhat? in

when they came up with the overlapping generations new lite, they must have received alot of "where's the scriptural precedent?!

so they came up with the account of joseph and his brothers to shut them up.

still they are trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole to fit 1914 in the equation.

This organization is based on 1914, not Christ. Without it, the GB lose all credibility. Of course that has already happened. But if they stop teaching this nonsense, then 1919 can't exist. Desparate times call for desperate measures.

Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation

by Splash in

at around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".

this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.

obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

Yes, they lied. Just another weapon in my arsenal I will have to share with elders.

The origins of the idea that Jesus was an angel

by paradisebeauty in

i subbled upon this very interesting article on the origins of the idea that jesus was an angel.

Thanks for that link. Excellent information. I never realized that Christ not having a preexistence, is by no means an isolated thought in one man's mind. All sources, like the link you shared have the same story behind them as far as where the idea of preexistence originated. Now that I understand this thought, the Bible is far more enjoyable to read, and I have come to appreciate Yahweh and Christ even more. The truth of this matter is so exciting, I share it with whomever I can. It is one of the most profound truths I have discovered.

Any other religions match the JW's on these items....?

by EndofMysteries in

since many things have changed, new religions, and religions changing doctrine, etc, for everytime a jw says nobody except jws, 1. refuse to go to war.

2. refuse to be in politics 3. preach about god's kingdom.

4. don't allow sin (dfing for fornication, etc).

Restoration Fellowship is quite similar, minus the disfellowshipping. Not really a full blown church. Mostly internet. Matt 24:14 is his theme scripture for his radio program.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

vinman

Watchtower= Three legged stool: 1914,1919, and GB/Faithful slave concept. Knock 1914 out, it's doomed. So friends, we've got to keep this going for awhile. Maybe the younger generation will not study our history and find out we are a false prophet.

The Christian God is Stupid

by berrygerry in

i do not clearly understand mainstream christian ideology, but i think that wt is a variation thereof.. wt teaches that god made adam and eve perfect, but that another one of god's perfect creatures, tricked eve into disobedience, thereby condemning adam, eve, and all of their offspring into a life of misery as a result.

this is because satan out-thought god, and essentially cornered god into this "legal challenge" that god had never foreseen.. that, to me, is one stupid god..

Isaiah, 55:8 - "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh."

Isaiah, 55:9 - "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Email to Royal Commission on Lies

by LevelThePlayingField in

i wrote this email today to the royal commission:.

dear royal commission:.

i am writing you to tell you that many of the jehovah's witnesses who have testified have lied to the commission under oath, and they have done so with ease because of what they have been taught through their publications.
