  I can see what you think you are seeing, but I don't think there is anything odd within this picture. You have to really push the imagination to see anything more than a fire.

  Here is the picture.

  Terry O'Brien did this special talk for us in NZ, and most likely in Australia too. I couldn't get out of my head his performance at the ARC.

  How long is a generation?

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  what splain does in his talk and chart illustration is make the leap that a generation can have two groups.

  and in this case the two groups span more than 108 years.

  but no where in scripture is there ever a notion that a generation has two groups.

  The most important information, is to only accept what comes from the GB. No matter how strange it would appear from a human standpoint.

  I just hope my loved ones inadvertently come across it and can watch it with an open mind.

  Has soon has they hear something in this documentary that is not accurate, and there is some information in there that isn't 100% correct, they will dismiss this entire program has being apostate lies. It is very scary to think that the JW leaders have conditioned the minds of witnesses to basically sacrifice their life, that is to switch off to any outside facts that does not promote WT.

  for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

  i never regretted this and never will.

  unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

  Don't worry. The JW rumor mill would have already spread around all your JW friends with some far fetched made up story for the reason you left. Not sure if your old acquaintances would be interested in the real reason you left since they have the approved WT version of why you and others leave.

  Interesting reading. Her protesting like that near the hall is not going to do anything. Those attending that hall are trained by WT to view people like her as evil liars, apostates. That sort of thing would never happen in Jehovahs organization. Sad for both sides.

  The book burning has started

  don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.

  the ms who's been given the task is a company man.

  no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

  This is how it happened here in this area (New Zealand). It would be about 5-6 years ago now, we had a letter read out to the congregation from the Branch office (Australia). They requested that all the old books (in the KH library or our personal collections) be sent over to the Branch because they needed them for the JW museum that they were putting together over there. Our extensive KH library disappeared, and so did another KH library that I know of. There was also a rumor going around at the time, that because of the cost to post these books over to Australia, the instruction was then to destroy them.

  From the WT dated Dec 2017 - study 1 para 11 studied by all congregations 4th Feb 2018.

  The Question asked on this paragraph is:

  ”11. What did the physician Luke report happened to a young man, and how did that affect others?”

  Paragraph 11 in this WT reads:

  “11 Others became eyewitnesses to another resurrection. One time, the apostle Paul was at a meeting in an upper room in Troas, in what is now northwest Turkey. Paul spoke till midnight. A young man named Eutychus was listening, seated at a window. But he dozed off and fell from the third story to the ground below. Perhaps the physician Luke was the first to reach Eutychus, and Luke made a medical assessment: Eutychus was not merely injured and unconscious​—he was dead! Paul came downstairs and embraced the corpse, and then he made the dramatic announcement: “He is alive.” What a profound impact that would have had on eyewitnesses! Knowing the facts and grasping that a resurrection had occurred, they “were comforted beyond measure.”​—Acts 20:7-12.”

  Now read the WT question again: “What did the physician Luke report happened to a young man, and how did that affect others?”

  Was Luke really there? Where does Bible say or infer that Luke was in attendance with Paul that evening, to be able to make that medical assessment on Eutychus?. Was it because Luke wrote the book of Acts, meaning that he must have been an eye witness to every event that is recorded in Acts? and if so, how do we know that he was the first to reach Eutychus after he fell?
