i wonder how the overlapping generation interpretation by the wt /jw religion applys to these scriptures reffering to a generation or these generations.. a generation reffering to one that the bible scriptures acknowledge is approximately 50 years in length give or take a few years.. mathtew chap 1:abraham born in 2018 , jesus born in 2 bc , =2016 divided by 42 generations as stated in matthew chapter 1 amounts to 43 years for a generation.. so how does an overlapping generation fit in with the wt interpretation with this scripture for a generation.?.
obviously an overlapping generation does not apply here .. so when does the jw/gb apply an overlapping generaration and when do they not apply an overlapping generation ?.
Thank you The Searcher ,some time ago I posted about a generation lasting somewhere between 30-50 years but no later .
I used three Bible accounts to support the scriptures definition of a generation fitting in with that.
{ By two or three witnesses a matter would be established Deut 19:15 }
Thank you for those extra scriptures that support a generation being less than 50 years long.

dear friends,.
once again my depression has got the better of me and i must bow out for a time.. "the angels sang glory to god in the highest and on earth peace unto men of goodwill'.
so if that means at this special time of the year then have a happy and safe christmas time all of you.. hugs.
As zeb says ,he`s bowing out for a time .Because of depression ,should we leave him (or anyone else with this problem alone ) at this time ? or should we try to engage them in our social activities.
One part of me is we shouldnt leave them alone when they are so down .
The other part of me says leave them to sort out their own thoughts.
My fear is that in that state of mind they may do something that they can never take back.
Zeb wait for the white dog to visit as he surely will.
as a part of the wt judicial arrangement, for many years there was a sort of review procedure called special committee; basically if a person was not happy with a decision or a particular situation they were allowed to write a letter to the society raisin their concerns.. the majority of these complaints were answered with a standard letter with the counsel of “leave matters to jehovah”.
in some instances the matter was serious enough to warrant the need for a special investigation of the case to be done by a special committee.. at one time the travelling overseers were part of this arrangement; eventually they were dropped out of these cases due to the fact of their tremendous input on the decisions and also the implications when a wrong decision was reached.. the reason behind this procedure was that in matters that were really complicated it was not fair to make a decision based in letters and the clearest way was to have “boots on the ground”.
normally a group of local brothers, appointed for this duty heard the cases and make recommendations to the branch.
Surely shirleyW the witnesses could be far worse than other major religions simply because they are such a small sect yet the numbers of abuse world wide seems to outstrip the ratio of abuse of other religions.
Google crimes committed by Jehovahs Witnesses .
my post about jesus not being greater than moses has vanished into cyber space ,however i`m not sure whether jehovahs angels or satans angels are responsible.. and you lovely people who commented on it has all been lost also .?.

Thank you jwleaks ,much appreciated .I will vote for you at the next election God knows Victoria needs a saviour.

The JW religion is sooooo 1984 ,if anyone out their especially younger people have never seen the movie or read the book do yourself a favour and do so .It is a classic
Trivia : the movie has two different endings.
okay team,.
some family friends who are engaged are getting some flack around the particulars of their wedding ceremony (surprise!
"strain out the gnat, gulp down the camel", and all that).
My wife and I were married in a KH in 1960 by a P.O. in Melb. Aust. my wifes two bridesmaids were not JW`s and one particulary was quite worldly being the girlfriend of my wifes brother who was the best man at our wedding he also was not a witness
My father in law made sure a barrell of beer was on hand at our reception .Jw`s on one side of the reception hall and worldly people on the other .We were only in the "truth 12-18 months before our wedding so only some members from the cong.attended outnumbered by worldly people.
My wife and I experience by the brother who converted us was used at a cicuit assembly at which we got baptised a few months before our wedding.
i left in 2006. i seem to vaguely recall that the written review was no more but i can't say for sure.. so, do they still do it?
was (is) it a waste of time?
i used to hate it..
GEEEEZZZZ that does bring back memorys ,didnt they have scriptures to look up with the questions ? I`m going back to 1960 .
That reminded me also of the publisher record board that took primary position at the front of the hall with the congregations activities compared to the national averages.
