  baltar447:

  If this is the guy, then he's an apostate. So that's cool that he's got that many edits, he probably makes a hobby of fixing white washed edits from the WTBS.

  Incorrect. Being an "apostate" would require having previously believed JW teachings.

  ADJUSTMENTS:

  I decided to do a little digging and came up with the name Jeffro77 who has more than 20,000 edits on the JW Wikipedia site.

  '20,000 edits on the JW Wikipedia site'? That's obviously false.

  Analysis of the user's edits (https://tools.wmflabs.org/supercount/index.php?user=Jeffro77&project=en.wikipedia) indicates:

  Unique Pages Edited: 2,527
  Average edits per page: 8.27
  Live edits: 20,898

  There are not anywhere near 2500 JW-related pages, so the editor obviously can't have 20,000 edits on JW-related articles.

  The editor has 1553 edits on the main JW article. The remaining approx. 8300 edits of article pages are divided among over 2500 different articles. Most of the editor's edits are on various discussion pages.

  Is this a new "This Generation" or not?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  first of all i want to express my sincere gratitude to atlantis and his good friends for making this 2014 book available.. ------------.

  as i see it, and i am absolutely open to contradiction, the wts appears to be giving another new meaning to this generation.

  this time the term means all of his anointed followers, including his immediate disciples.

  There's no reason to believe that there is any special significance at all to the 'gospel' stories about Jesus, all written decades after the alleged events, containing a hodge-podge of unoriginal stories re-attributed to Jesus.

  Aside from that, there is no reason to re-interpret the use of "generation" attributed to Jesus as anything other than the usual use of the word.

  Any attempt to apply anything at all from the 'gospels' to 1914 is entirely baseless. Although it is amusing watching the Watch Tower Society re-hash their ridiculous superstitions.

  (And it's mildly disturbing that the lives of dead JWs are represented by a brown smear.)

  Cold Steel:

  So, who was the man's father and mother? And who was the father and mother of the woman?

  These questions seem to indicate a misunderstanding (or no undertanding) of the term "most recent common ancestor". The parents of such an individual would also be a common ancestor. But they're not the most recent. Any two specific people may have a more recent common ancestors (especially if they're of the same ethnicity), and this is why it was previously thought that the most recent common male ancestor was more recent, because it had not yet been established that that individual wasn't common to everyone.

  A similar common misunderstanding involves confusion about the fact that the most recent common male ancestor doesn't have to be alive at the same time as the most recent common female ancestor.

  oppostate:

  JW's will be distributing brochures explaining JW.Org

  Really? What's to explain? The JWs' target audience doesn't understand the concept of websites?

  emre01, if you want to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses, go to jw.org and request a Bible study.

  The 'Bible study' course offered by JWs isn't actually a study of the Bible. It is an indoctrination program that focuses on particular scriptures - frequently out of context - in order to convince a person to join the JW religion.

  yup, the apostate is happy.

  i shouldn't be, right, because my life is empty without "jehovah" and the organisation.. but i just got a job at one of the best theme parks in the world, which is so what i want to do, and it's the first permanent job i've had since i lost my government job in 2012!.

  the job pays minimum wage but i don't care because working in tourism and entertainment is what i want to do!
