we've already had a post on this, but there were other interesting comments.. the brother giving the announcements said that there would be a new understanding of jesus' reference to the generation as discussed at the annual meeting.. an elder giving a service meeting part review of different watchtower articles from the current year brought out the new light concerning 1935.. he asks: "when is the sealing of the anounted ones?".
elder answers: "there is no specific date".
later after the meeting, i asked an elder if the new understanding of the remnant now meant that younger people could go to heaven.. he answered with an affirmative "yes" and that we would be getting the new understanding of the generation jesus spoke of in a future 2008 watchtower.. .
So what happened to the 2000 WT where the GB/FDS listed 6 things that we were deep deep deep very deep in the end of this system,One was that the FDS(anointed,144k) was getting very old and that some would still be on Earth when the end would come.You Know the big A, GT.coming.Oh,they really did not mean it or did they.

Good review.Some how I can't get my head around their reasoning.How can 14,000,000 children benefit from suffering and dying before they are 5 years old every year.When they endure such a painful death,how can it enhance their happiness.
They say Jesus experienced first hand human suffering.Now now Jesus was a man.He did not suffer the pain of woman while on Earth ie the PAIN of giving birth.
Rulership for all I know the type of God Jehovah is he probably had a hand in putting Hilter in power.

PS I believe the Roman Catholic teaches that the more one suffers on Earth the better his/her chances of getting to Heaven.
i can't remember if i read this here, but i was reminded from another thread..
universal sovereignty is pretty much the whole explanation for why god permits suffering, correct?.
why would a god of love make it last so long?
If Universal Sovereignty is the issue per WBTS than Satan is winning hands down.Lets compare it to a football game.At the end of the game the team with the highest score wins.Ex..Jets 35 packers 28,Jets win.World 6.7 billion(Satan per WBTS) JW'S 6.7 million. Satan wins hands down.
About Lot's wife per WBTS those people won't get a second chance.So this loving God don't give a shit about childern,just like the WBTS and their coverup about sexual abuse.

i hope that some of you lurkers out here really take a look at some of the thread in this section of the board.
this awake magazine says not one thing about how families are asked to trust their elders and how these very elders were and are abusing their children.
it mentions nothing about watching out for these trusted men in the congregations.............oh it brings out the internet, other family members and fathers and males in particular.. it will tell you how much your child needs to do to prevent something like this from happening.
The example the WT uses..wasn't Heather's father the scumbag from Saskatoon the was posted here.

If God destroys this generation or any other He is going against his word because all people and Angels are looking on.They will say you have to give them a chance that is per WBTS/GB.
Bob
What no accurate Bible until the NWT of 1960.Yeah right on God keep everyone in the dark.Sorry not God but bs fds/gb.
Bob
Excellent review,I like all the points you made about how unjust and cruel God is.The WTBS BS about a new sys soon, not God wants to see more suffering.
Bob
here's a lovely highlight from the new issue of everyone's favorite 'journal.
' notice how they try to talk scientific accuracy two pages after an illustration showing jonah about to be swallowed by fish wherein he is to spend 3 days...alive.
.
I cannot believe they would publish such an article full of lies and dishonesty.Ex.all their A&W and books are published by WBTS and are (c) yet they say in this A see such and such book published by Jehovah's Witnesses.Also the article mentions that they aren't trying to convert anyone bs.

it has always puzzled me why abel, a herder of sheep, would want to kill his own animals to offer them up to god.. prior to the flood, it would be fair to say that no one ate meat.
maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but assuming that meat.
was not eaten, why would abel's offering be better than cain's offering?.
I don't know why.Let illustrate,a father has two son name A and C.On father's day,son A gives him a beautiful gift,son C gives him a home made father's day card.The father is appreciative of both gifts because it is not the value of the gift's but the thought.That is the normal behavior of any parent.
Now God would rip the card up throw it in C's face and kick him out of the house. When you read God's autobiography He is a very vengeful,hateful,jealous,dominant,my way or the highway type of person.

Good review.They FDS/GB are up to their old tricks.They think people forgot pre1975.Sell your house give all your money to the WBTS and go pioneer because the end is sooooooooooooooo near.Why did they use an example of someone going to Bethel? When the kicked over 60% of the poor old pre 1975 Behtelites out.Oh.I forgot they are costing them to much money for medical,food etc and their productive is low.We need young strong productive people to run a porfitable company.Like I said last week you sumbags who print this s#$^ go live in a tent in Africa w/o running water and use grass for asswipe.Notice their Ex. of the ice cream man (computer technician) they sure like those educated people for Bethel.shame shame shame fds'bg.
