  Generation Nonsense in today's WT

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  abraham was part of the 9th generation as a descendent of shem.

  yet, their lives overlapped by 150 years.

  yep, they were of the same generation!

  If the Governing Body do not go back to the drawing board and come up with new light on this Generation doctrinal nonsense they will continue to be seen as deceivers and twisters of the English language and if they truly believe it idiots.Every sane person knows that when a man and a woman become mummy and daddy a new generation has arrived.

  If a generation overlaps and overlaps onto the next generation obviously by definition its a different genealogical category in fact you could call every generation by a category number or letter right down through the ages, its simple, category A is totally not the same as B .

  How do the Witnesses explain the expression The Generation Gap if there is no difference.

  johnny santa cruz and i met around 1959 at a movie theater in fort worth, texas.. the purpose of that meeting was to create a fanclub for horror movie director william castle.

  a week or so later, johnny stopped me as i was walking home from elementary school.. "hey--i think i know you.

  weren't you at the william castle fanclub thing?".

  Terry sorry to learn that your best friend from way back when has passed away. You have so many memories too look back upon and it is exceptionally sad that the Witness cult severed a beautiful friendship sad as well when you reflect on what further joys your friendship might have achieved but for that satanic brainwashing belief system.

  You should go to his funeral and say "goodbye old pal." Afterwards I suspect you will be glad you did.

  JW related collective nouns

  english is a great language, especially when it comes to collective nouns.

  a "murder" of crows is just fantastic as is a "mob" of meerkats.

  a "colony" of ants, a "pride" of lions.

  Inmates taking over the mad house springs to mind.

  Actually he missed a good opportunity by not mentioning the fact that the JWs believe in the false doctrine of Toast which basically means that any human being who ignores the words of the Governing Body will end up as toast.

  Does this guy pull the wool over his own eyes or do the rest of the GB do it for him in the same way as they do it to everyone else?

  Simples they then went the local Kingdumb Hall and had a Watchtower scroll study just to verify which generation they belonged to. They also did a quick study about the return of Jesus and why in the future it would be a waste of time holding up a name card at the airport terminal because of the fact that Jesus did not use the Greek word for myopia what in fact he really meant was the eye of understanding which boils down to perception .

  They were then admonished to look into a forth coming study concerning new light entitled Invisibility Cloaks Should You Wear One In The Ministry. This will be followed by a full Governing Body presentation and talk entitled Scientists R US this will be an in depth study into the bending of light creating a situation in which we will all be walking about bumping into trees.

  I'm bemused - Vladimir Putin as a Christian Warrior - Do Russians see him as a fighter for Jesus?

  I didn't say I liked and admired Soviet Russia .

  All power corrupts even in the West we need checks and balances .

  For the intelligence service to spy on the population en masse in Russia is a criminal offense .

  Big Brother mentioned in the book 1984 was written as a warning not as an instruction on how to spy on our every move.

  Why if we in the West live by the rule of law did we invade Iraq when it was voted against in the UN.

  Very interesting .I have thought for a long time now that Mr Putin stands head and shoulders above the rest of the World leaders I also think that the Russians have the moral high ground .Of course saying that will cause controversy obviously but I have listened to some of his speeches and a lot of his statements ring true and given the history of Russian struggle against the invader plus the massive border security they have to worry about who can blame them for wanting security .

  I have read and heard a lot of hysterical comments about Mr Putin in the British and US media and to my way of thinking it's the West that is the bully .Frequently we are not being told the truth there is too much disinformation and hypocrisy coming out of Britain and the US. Considering the number of countries that we in the West have decided to invade in order to effect regime change its jaw dropping to hear the criticism of Russia for protecting its own people.

  Nothing is perfect in this World but we should not demonise and lie to destabilise Russia for an ulterior motive Gorbachev has said that it will take 10 to 15 years for Russia to gain full democracy .They should be assisted and encouraged.

  Well I have got the holey underwear after the moths nibbled at it when I could not for the life of me get hold of any moth balls. So will they let me join?

  I shall ask to see their credentials if they knock on my door in any case.
