Have you actually witnessed how stupid these people can be?
Of course I have. But not everyone in the organization is stupid. A lot of people just don't voice their doubts.

As much as I believe the average jdub is a non-thinking drone... I really can't imagine a whole lot of people REALLY going for this. "The generation that overlapped with the actual generation?" That's what Jesus meant? Gimme a break!!!

Lets see how the Bethel family takes this news before we put it in print.
The Bethel Family by and large has no more weight with doctrinal choices than the rest of the flock.

U.S. Memorial attendance given- what about partakers? Ah, we shall see (if they let us).
If it had gone down, they would have said so. In fact, I think thre's a good chance they'll stop publicizing the number of partakers completely. They'll have a WT article saying, "it doesn't really matter anyway, because Jah is in charge, blah blah."

The fact is, they don't know what they're teaching these days. It's a a big rotating wheel of doctrine, and the jdubs could really care less.
"It'll get here when it it'll get here," I can hear them say. Of course, the GB are too narcistic to just LET IT GO and stop trying to act like God's sole channel on earth.

Scriptural basis, you say?
yeah, that never stopped them in the past.
.
assuming the bible true:.
thinking of the story of the way that jehovah, through samuel and saul, dealt with the amalekites; with the discovery of the criminal gene, could this justify the god of the bibles actions against these nations, when he put out the order to not have compassion for them, and the israelites were ordered to put to death, man as well as woman, child as well as suckling...??
The scriptures say Jehovah cannot lie, yet he is perfect so surely everything is possible for him, yet we have to look at what is meant by this, Jehovah is so loving he cannot lie because being evil and nasty isnt in him.
... except when commanding his servants to kill babies.
i've been lurking in the shadows of this forum for about 6 months or so.
i'll try to be brief here, but i apologize in advance if this is not "brief enough" for you.
anyways i'm a 27 year old african american young man, i was born and raised a jehovah's witness.

Sounds like you're getting things settled in your mind.
Stay strong. You have your whole life ahead of you.
