  I truly welcome and encourage Tatiana's humor at:
  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=19741&site=3
  I know exactly where Tatiana was coming from, found it very funny and do NOT disapprove one iota. What follows has nothing to do with Tatiana, but everything to do with the attitudes and screwed-up thinking of some others here.

  It is sad that if an apparent male had posted a similar joke but with an implied anti-female stance, he'd get the Xena Warrior Class (who level base, false charges and then run away pretending to be the victim without apologizing or retracting), the Hypocrite Class (see previous), the Prickly Class, the Piglet Class, the "Oh Poor Me!" Class, the Prima Donna Class, the "Persecution! Persecution!" Class, the Paranoid Class, the Clueless Class, the Ignorant Class, the nnoderator Class and the Ballerina Class all a-baying for his foreskin.

  Now what shall I do next?

  * Go out distributing photographs of myself to what seems like everyone I can think of, immersed as I would have to be in my own self-delusion and vanity, and then come bawling for help when more people see them than I claim I had intended?

  * Start yowling when, through my own poor knowledge of colloquial English, I mistake a casual reference to losing one's temper to menstruation and then scream the house down?

  Please, others, try to focus on the harm the Cult has done you (and celebrate your escape and recovery!) rather than bicker...

  I quite recognize that different people have different ways of fighting evil. The Quiet Way and the Sledgehammer Way each has its place in attempting to Open The Closed Mind.

  Tatiana, you made me laugh - thanks! I know exactly where you are coming from.

  What follows has nothing to do with Tatiana, but everything to do with the attitudes and screwed-up thinking of some others here.

  BUT it is sad that if an apparent male had posted a similar joke but with an implied anti-female stance, he'd get the Xena Warrior Class (who level base, false charges and then run away pretending to be the victim without apologizing or retracting), the Hypocrite Class (see previous), the Prickly Class, the Piglet Class, the "Oh Poor Me!"

  Now what shall I do next?

  Go out distributing photographs of myself to everyone I can think of, immersed as I would have to be in my own self-delusion and vanity, and then come bawling for help when more people see them than I intended?

  No, this is not an accurate account at all. Accusing the Watchtower wrongly is very wrong - for cult-elders are trained to seize on the tiniest error (your one is a big error) in criticism and misuse it to discredit the whole refutation.

  The truth is that the actual sequence of events is even more damning to the Watchtower. 1874 was involved too, and some key and direct Watchtower lies - as distinct from merely half-truths or deceptive wording.

  You chose to gloss over my proof of GjW's strawman / misrepresentation of Norm's position.

  You chose to gloss over GjW's implied support for these WT articles, containing among other things "encouraging" words saying that German jWs (70%+ of whom survived the concentration camps) individually suffered more persecution than Jews (1%- of whom survived the concentration camps).

  Could there be a reason for this, I wonder?

  My problem is that you cut'n'paste this article every three months or so: "in 1950 they gave that figure, in 1970 they gave that figure and in 2002 they give this figure: and look they differ. I'm sure they knew from the beginning the right numbers"

  Nowhere does Norm say or suggest that they knew from the beginning or at any early point what the right numbers were.

  What he did he say - and prove - was that the Watchtower recklessly and VERY repeatedly uttered figures as being authoritative which were then seen to be materially wrong, and it deceitfully quoted at least one source that itself was only quoting previous Watchtower mispeculation..

  But it is SO MUCH more convenient for you to argue against some strawman that you wish Norm had written, instead of what he did write -- isn't it? We do understand Theocratic War Strategy rather well, You Know.

  Or perhaps you are just a bit stupid. Which?

  And I continue: No, they did not.

  Set up strawman, knock it down, all small-brained dub-dubs cheer - do you love to fondle the mic while this happens? Does it ... You Know .. ?

  They did not care after WWII because they did not see a benefit.

  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

  Never a truer word spoken!

  Don't believe what you read in the Watchtower - the authors, at the end of the day "do not care" about accuracy - what is of "benefit" to their cause is what is important.

  Thanks for that (well, we knew it already). You are such a persuasive Clown for your Cult.

  they quoted it as an "encouraging" article.

  
  Use of TWS against "god's People".... a bit like with the U.N. NGO lying, then?

  We understand "encouraging" too, GermanJW. It means "lying for a good cause; and we jWs get to determine what qualifies"

  I give you instead Job 13:7-11:
  "Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?"

  My point is that the WTS did not really care about the figures before the 1990s.

  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

  Yeah... the figures being "1914", right?

  Then 1914 began to become a bit of a problem, in the 1990s.

  *** g94 11/8 10
  "The Real Significance of 1914 .. As indicated on page 4, 'this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away.' No doubt many of our readers find that statement surprising. Yet, as far back as December 1879 - some 35 years before 1914 - The Watchtower (then known as Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence) gave Bible evidence proving that 1914 would be a significant year. Even before this-in the middle of the 19th century-other students of the Bible had hinted that 1914 was possibly a year marked in Bible prophecy.. This time of the end is, however, to be a relatively short period-stretching over one generation. (Luke 21:31,32) The fact that we are now 80 years beyond 1914 indicates that we can soon expect the deliverance that God's Kingdom will bring. This means that we will see 'the lowliest one of mankind' - Jesus Christ - take complete control of 'the kingdom of mankind' and bring about a peaceful and just new world. -Daniel 4:17.

  and what they had been prating on about for decades:

  *** g95 10/22 4
  Why Awake is Published .. Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away.

  suddenly changed to:

  *** g95 11/8 4
  Why Awake is Published .. Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things.

  and finally and most shamefully, a complete denial in the 1990s of the whole central plank of Watchtowerinsanity since the 1930s:

  *** w95 11/1 16-20
  A TIME TO KEEP AWAKE .. In all the nations the good news has to be preached first.. But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.' - Mark 13:10,13. Endure we must - amid a faithless and twisted generation! Since 1914 a generation of people has become corrupt, just as in Jesus' day. And today the corruption is on a worldwide scale. In these 'last days,' the 'critical times hard to deal with' described by the apostle Paul are afflicting mankind. 'Wicked men and impostors continue to advance from bad to worse.' Clearly, 'the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one,' Satan the Devil, who is now making his final effort to ruin the earth. But take courage! There is an oncoming 'great tribulation' that will bring permanent relief to all who love righteousness. -2 Timothy 3:1-5,13; 1 John 5:19; Revelation 7:14. Happily, Jehovah has now enthroned the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavens, preparatory to removing mankind's oppressive enemies. (Revelation 11:15) As at Messiah's first advent, so in this century a remarkable prophecy penned by Daniel has been fulfilled. At Daniel 4:16,17,32, we are told of the suspending of rightful kingship over the earth for a period of 'seven times.' In their major fulfillment, these seven times amount to seven Biblical years of 360 'days' each, or 2,520 years in all. (For detailed information on the 'seven times,' see pages 127-39,186-9 of the book 'Let Your Kingdom Come,' published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.) They ran from 607 B.C.E., when Babylon began trampling underfoot the kingdom of Israel, to 1914 C.E., the year of Jesus' enthronement in heaven as mankind's rightful King. Then 'the appointed times of the nations' ended. (Luke 21:24) But the nations have declined to yield to the incoming Messianic Kingdom. -Psalm 2:1-6,10-12; 110:1,2. As the 70th week of years (29-36 C.E.) approached, and again as the year 1914 drew near, God-fearing people were expecting Messiah's arrival. And arrive he did! In each case, though, the manner of his appearing differed from the expectation. In each case too, after a comparatively brief time period, an evil 'generation' finally suffers execution by divine decree. -Matthew 24:34. In our preceding article, we noted how the wicked Jewish generation that called for the blood of Jesus met its end. What, then, of the ruinous generation of mankind that even now opposes or ignores him? When will judgment on this faithless generation be executed? 'Keep on the Watch'! After prophesying events leading up to a time of 'great tribulation,' Jesus added: 'Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.' (Matthew 24:3-36; Mark 13:3-32) We do not need to know the exact timing of events. Rather, our focus must be on being watchful, cultivating strong faith, and keeping busy in Jehovah's service - not on speculating a date. Jesus concluded his great prophecy by saying: 'Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.. Keep on the watch .. What I say to you I say to all, Keep on the watch.' (Mark 13:33-37) Danger lurks in the shadows of today's world. We must keep awake! -Romans 13:11-13. Not only must we pay attention to the inspired prophecies concerning these final days of a wicked system but we must anchor our faith primarily on the precious sacrifice of Christ Jesus and God's marvelous promises based thereon. (Hebrews 6:17-19; 9:14; 1 Peter 1:18,19; 2 Peter 1:16-19) Eager to see the end of this evil system, Jehovah's people have at times speculated about the time when the 'great tribulation' would break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime of a generation since 1914. However, we bring a heart of wisdom in,' not by speculating about how many years or days makeup a generation, but by thinking about how we 'count our days' in bringing joyful praise to Jehovah. (Psalm 90:12) Rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term 'generation' as used by Jesus refers principally to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics. (See Volume 1, page 918, of 'Insight on the Scriptures,' published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.. Suffering humanity will find relief when this violent, wicked generation passes away) .. Glorious 'new heavens and a new earth' lie just ahead for all races of mankind.. In line with the above, professor of history Robert Wohl wrote in his book The Generation of 1914: 'A historical generation is not defined by its chronologic limits.. It is not a zone of dates.' But he pointed out that World War I created an overwhelming sense of rupture with the past,' and he added: 'Those who lived through the war could never rid themselves of the belief that one world had ended and another begun in August 1914.' How true that is! It focuses on the crux of the matter. 'This generation' of mankind since 1914 has experienced appalling changes. It has seen the earth drenched with the blood of millions. Warfare, genocide, terrorism, crime, and lawlessness have erupted worldwide. Famine, disease, and immorality have stalked our globe. Jesus prophesied: 'You also, when you (his disciples) see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, This generation will by no means pass away until all things occur.' -Luke 21:31,32. Yes, the complete triumph of the Messianic Kingdom is at hand! Is anything to be gained, then, by looking for dates or by speculating about the literal lifetime of a 'generation'? Far from it! Habakkuk 2:3 clearly states: 'The vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end, and it will not tell a lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.' Jehovah's day of accounting hastens ever closer. -Jeremiah 25:31-33; Malachi 4:1. When Christ's Kingdom rule began in 1914, Satan was hurled down to earth. This has meant 'woe for the earth .. because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.' (Revelation 12:12) That time is short, indeed, compared with the thousands of years of Satan's rulership. The Kingdom is at hand, and so is Jehovah's day and hour for executing judgment on this wicked generation! -Proverbs 3:25; 10:24,25. The 'Generation' That Passes Away .. Let us examine more closely Jesus' statement at Matthew 24:34,35: 'Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.' Jesus' words that follow show that 'nobody knows that day and hour.' Far more important, he shows that we must avoid the snares surrounding us in this generation. Thus Jesus adds: 'For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.' (Matthew 24:36-39) Jesus here compared the generation of his day to that of Noah's day. -Genesis 6:5,9; footnote. This was not the first time that the apostles heard Jesus make this comparison of 'generations,' for some days earlier he had stated concerning himself: 'The Son of man .. must undergo many sufferings and be rejected by this generation. Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of man.' (Luke 17:24-26) Thus, Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 17 make the same comparison. In Noah's day 'all flesh (that) had ruined its way on the earth' and that was destroyed at the Flood was 'this generation.' In Jesus' day the apostate Jewish people that were rejecting Jesus was 'this generation.' -Genesis 6:11,12; 7:1. Therefore, in the final fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy today, 'this generation' apparently refers to the peoples of earth who see the sign of Christ's presence but fail to mend their ways. In contrast, we as Jesus' disciples refuse to be molded by the life-style of 'this generation.' Though in the world, we must be no part of it, 'for the appointed time is near.' (Revelation 1:3; John 17:16) The apostle Paul admonishes us: 'Keep doing all things free from murmurings and arguments, that you may come to be blameless and innocent, children of God without a blemish in among a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you are shining as illuminators in the world.' -Philippians 2:14,15; Colossians 3:5-10; 1 John 2:15-17. Our 'shining as illuminators' includes not only displaying a clean Christian personality but, above all, fulfilling Jesus' prophetic commission: 'This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.' (Matthew 24: 14) No human can say when that end will be, but we know that the end of 'this generation' of wicked people will come once the witness has been given to God's satisfaction 'to the most distant part of the earth.' -Acts 1:8. 'That Day and Hour' .. When the global witness has been accomplished to the extent Jehovah purposes, it will be his 'day and hour' to dispose of this world's system. We do not need to know the date in advance. Thus, following Jesus' example, the apostle Paul admonished: 'Now as for the times and the seasons, brothers, you need nothing to be written to you. For you yourselves know quite well that Jehovah's day is coming exactly as a thief in the night. Whenever it is that they are saying: 'Peace and security!' then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them just as the pang of distress upon a pregnant woman; and they will by no means escape.' Note Paul's focus: 'It is when they are saying.' Yes, when there is talk of 'peace and security,' when it is least expected, God's judgment will suddenly be executed. How appropriate is Paul's advice: 'So, then, let us not sleep on as the rest do, but let us stay awake and keep our senses'! -1 Thessalonians 5: 1-3,6; see also verses 7-11; Acts 1:7. Does our more precise viewpoint on 'this generation' mean that Armageddon is further away than we had thought? Not at all! Though we at no time have known the 'day and hour,' Jehovah God has always known it, and he does not change. (Malachi 3:6) Obviously, the world is sinking further and further toward terminal ruination. The need to keep awake is more critical than it has ever been. Jehovah has revealed to us 'the things that must shortly take place,' and we should respond with an absorbing sense of urgency. -Revelation 1:1; 11:18; 16:14,16. As the time approaches, keep awake, for Jehovah is about to bring calamity on all of Satan's system! (Jeremiah 25:29-31) Jehovah says: 'I shall certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.' (Ezekiel 38:23) That decisive 'day of Jehovah' draws near! -Joel 1:15; 2:1,2; Amos 5:18-20; Zephaniah 2:2,3. Righteous 'New Heavens and a New Earth' .. Concerning 'all these things that must occur' Jesus said: 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.' (Matthew 24:34,35) Jesus likely had in mind the 'heaven and earth' - the rulers and the ruled - of 'this generation.' The apostle Peter used similar words in referring to 'the heavens and the earth that are now,' which are 'stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.' He next describes how 'Jehovah's day will come as a thief, in which the (governmental) heavens will pass away' together with a corrupt human society, or earth,' and its sinful works. The apostle then exhorts us to 'holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, (as we are) awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah, through which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved and the elements being intensely hot will melt!' What follows? Peter turns our attention to 'new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness is to dwell.' -2 Peter 3:7,10-13. (See also pages 152-6 and 180-1 of 'Our Incoming World Government-God's Kingdom,' published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.) 'Those 'new heavens,' the Kingdom rule by Christ Jesus and his associate kings, will shower blessings on the righteous 'new earth' society of mankind. Are you a prospective member of that society? If so, you have reason to exult over the grand future in store! -Isaiah 65:17-19; Revelation 21:1-5. 'Yes, a righteous 'generation' of mankind is even now being gathered. Today the anointed 'faithful and discreet slave' is providing divine education in line with the words of Psalm 78:1,4: 'Do give ear, 0 my people, to my law; incline your ear to the sayings of my mouth .. relating them even to the generation to come, the praises of Jehovah and his strength and his wonderful things that he has done.' (Matthew 24:45-47) On April 14 of this year, in more than 75,500 congregations and in some 230 lands, over 12,000,000 persons around the earth attended the Memorial of Christ's death. Were you among them? May you rest your faith on Christ Jesus and 'call on the name of Jehovah for salvation.' -Romans 10:10-13. 'The time left is reduced,' said the apostle Paul. It is time, therefore, to keep ever awake and busy in Jehovah's work, as we endure trials and hatreds imposed by a wicked generation of mankind. (1 Corinthians 7:29; Matthew 10:22; 24:13,14) Let us keep on the watch, observing all the things foretold in the Bible to come upon 'this generation.' (Luke 21:31-33) By escaping these things and by standing with divine approval before the Son of man, we may at last attain to the prize of everlasting life.. Why should we endure and take courage? How was prophecy fulfilled in 1914? .. What does Jesus basically mean by generation'?.. How do Jehovah's prophets stress the need to keep awake? What developments since 1914 show that the time is short? How is 'this generation' like that of Noah's day?.. Why should we not think that Armageddon is further away than we may have believed?.. What great privilege may we now enjoy? Since 'the time left is reduced,' how must we keep awake, and with what prospect in view?

  So all those trusting, old people who had spent their lives slaving for a publishing empire in the forlorn belief that they were doing the work of some (insane) "god", and who were pretty sure they would never die (well, at least not for a thousand years), suddenly got told they probably would die.

  Tell me, do you sleep at night, GermanJW, spreading this proven foul infection from door to door (but not in the front door and out from the back door, as F.Franz said Jesus prohibited - or haven't you read "In Search of Christian Freedom"?)?

  Yes, the Watchtower started being more careful about its figures in 1990s. The Generartion was getting dead.

  And sure, we see some idiot truly wrote:

  My point is that the WTS did not really care about the figures before the 1990s.

  But it sure started caring about them in the 1990s.... as we saw

  Now I could say:

  Run along now, you pathetic little man, before you get me riled. Your spiritually-diseased "brain" is not capable of understanding more of the real truth in one session. Run back to your filthy, disgusting abomination of a spiritual-mother, the Great Whore, and commit spiritual-adultery and spiritual-fornication with her - some spiritual-pedophilia too with youir spiritual-siblings if you wish - and attach your miserable mouth back to her diseased, spiritually-pus-filled pap, and then recommence your spiritual-pimping for her.

  But, I won't!

  Instead, I'll visit your head when you are asleep. You still have a conscience, notwithstanding mamma's attempts to stifle it.

  Thank you, Focus, for the backhanded compliments.
  You're a master at damning with faint praise.

  "Compliments"? "Praise"?

  Ummmm - where??

  Seriously, though: instead of shadow-boxing here, why not leave the entertainment of sock-puppets to others and work on (or collaborate towards producing) a systematic refutation and rebuttal of some major publication by the WT or one of its foremost apologists?

  Focus,
  Good to see you back again. I thought your essay on this subject was outstanding.

  You are too generous..

  It is interesting that you mentioned Harriet Beecher Stowe. She was Mark Twain's neighbor and friend

  Come, come! Did you actually think it was a coincidence that I mentioned Ms. Stowe after discussing Twain????
