for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .
are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.
here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.
As for any questions on this point, you'll have to ask David Splane directly. No one else knows. It's amazing how he got this past the majority of the GB at the meeting(s) where they discussed it. It's evidence of how desperate they are to "deal with" this passage in Matthew.
Perhaps in the end someone on the GB just said, to use blondie's point, "Well, it doesn't really matter whether they understand it or not. They are so loyal that they'll just believe whatever they are told to believe."
for many who have left jw.org, there is still a spiritual need and faith in the bible.
beroean pickets is one group/website where serious bible research and commentary, weekly critical reviews of wt studies, as well expose's of flawed wt opinion/doctrine- all backed by the bible- can be considered.
this vast amount of work and research is all done by just a small group of our volunteer brothers and sisters.
I agree with nowwhat? I'm surprised too that it's taken years for them to clamp down on dissenters like Eric from within the ranks, especially those who attract others who are also in-house.
Of course, this will have no negative repercussions in the world at large, and the org will keep going just fine.
i just saw this picture on a jw facebook page.
i'm just shaking my head at what lengths they will go to just to count time.

Thanks for this info. It will be interesting to watch its course. I wonder if groups like the RC church would oppose it or even seek to have its constitutionality questioned.
if so pm me about it and we maybe able to compare notes .simon may be interested otherwise ignore this post ..
If you decide to meet this person, be sure use an alias like Geoffrey Sanderson, Anthony Splane, or Gerritt Herd III.
just read this interesting news at jw.org.

i was working on this case nonstop for a very long time.. now, unfortunately i have a custody case my very own.
