  We took all your money. We showed you fancy new KHs. Now we tell you that "auditorium utilization" is under way. Buhahahaha.

  They did a Doc Brown, took all their money and gave them a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts.

  Going back to the 2008 Generation

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it looks to me like the society is rapidly moving back to the february 2008 watchtower "new light" on "this generation," which said this:.

  * jesus used "this generation" to mean "anointed ones.".

  * in the first fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive to witness the events of 70 c.e.. * in the secondary fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive when jesus returns to judge the sheep and goats.. the new 2015 jw research guide posted on jw.org lists this 2008 watchtower article as the first article people should read about the "clarified understanding" of the generation.. this 2008 view also matches the statement in the new 2015 jesus--the way, the truth, the life book, which says that "this generation" refers to disciples who see the signs of the last days.. i think they are abandoning the overlapping part..

  Hope y'all in Texas are doing OK !

  some terrible flooding happening there.. i never realized that texas was so prone to serious floods and flash-floods because of the geography and weather.

  it tops the stats nearly every year for flood fatalities.. stay safe, stay dry if you can and don't take any chances.

  water is unbelievably powerful - whatever vehicle you have it can sweep it away like a twig.

  Get behind me...ERM Satan!

  by username in

  2. bible

  ok random thought just popped in my mind!.

  if satan was cast down from heaven in 1914 how did he tempt jesus almost 2000 years previously?

  surely jeeeeehovah wouldn't have let the evil one reside in heaven for so long?

  The jw understanding is, like in the book of Job Satan had free reign to enter and exit heaven. That ended when jeebus kicked his butt out in 1914.
