Is this a new "This Generation" or not?
by Doug Mason infirst of all i want to express my sincere gratitude to atlantis and his good friends for making this 2014 book available.. ------------.
as i see it, and i am absolutely open to contradiction, the wts appears to be giving another new meaning to this generation.
this time the term means all of his anointed followers, including his immediate disciples.

The Writing Staff must have been laughing their heads off when they came up with this... a perversion of what they taught before.
Yes, this is a full acknowledgement that the teachings about "the generation of 1914" during the period from about 1918 to about 2006 were a fraud from start to finish, and that now "the generation" means whatever they want it to mean. By using an overlap, they've doubled the span.

villagegirl, you have a point.
I, for one, am careful to usually specify:
jehovah (lower case)
jEHOVAH (emphasized lower case!)
gawd
Goobergawd
Jehooover
or similar, as I don't want to give offence to theists in general, and I want to target my attacks on the filthy, malevolent, insane deity created by the jWs.
While I am an atheist, in general I have no beef with those who choose to believe in god(s), as long as they remember that their freedom to wave their arms wildly around them when preaching ends precisely and exactly where my nose begins.
My attitude towards highly-damaging religions like the Watchtowercult and its supporters and enablers is hard-line.
Other theists, leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone.
WTS and jWs (especially leaders) - I'm coming after you. There is no place for you to hide.
I hope this is an effective summary of my position.
As to approach:
Some go to treat the symptoms and effects. Good for them. That work is much needed.
But I go for the jugular - the very source of the foul disease that masquerades as a "religion".

The Complete Scammer's Guide - by "Pastor" Russell (New Light!)
by Focus inmost of us are reasonably familiar with reports of scandalous goings-on of that old jellyfish lecher, the founder of the watchtower cult, the one and only charles taze russell.. but, are these stories true?.
this thread is going to be devoted to his allegedly scurrilous activities.
so, bookmark it, please, bro' focus is in possession of noo light, and we're going to explore russell like you've never seen him explored before.. we're approaching his 100th death anniversary, and for all i know this virtual exhumation may lead to a real one.

Yes, EdenOne, well done. "I told you so."
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle is now available online pretty much in entirety...
No reasonable person could flick through more than (say) a few hundred pages and come away with the conclusion that it was other than a responsible, sober, balanced. fair-minded, honest and socially-responsible broadsheet newspaper.
The irresponsible, gossip-oriented, fact-challenged, offensive and ignorant Old Goat had the sheer audacity to maintain that it was pro-Catholic around the time of the Russell exposes (say, 1911-1916). Not only is that complete garbage (the coverage of Catholicism and Catholic churches and issues was, if anything, an under-representation, given the religious composition of its readership, but it shows his attempt to put in his own bias.
And it is further based on his own ignorance of WTS history - he is too ignorant to even do a proper smear, lol!
It was RUTHERFORD, and not RUSSELL, who launched into the full-scale attack on Catholicism!
Russell's combatants were usually members and clergy of other competing Protestant churches. That is self-evident through literally dozens of encounters in the Eagle and thousands of derogatory references in Russell's own publications.
Old Goat, with your truly filthy WTS-apologist drivel, which I see through in an instant, perhaps we should be grateful that you are so ignorant of WTS history as to not even know how to smear properly.
A harder smear to refute would be that the Eagle was
anti-Catholic
and not that it was
pro-Catholic
which is patent nonsense. LOL!
... and.... (for the avoidance of doubt, this is to Old Goat):
WHACK !
In everything I've read, I see nothing to disbelieve in the Eagle's coverage, which is often corroborated by outside evidence (plus the three reasons I gave as to why it would NOT lie), and everything to disbelieve in the account
And, coming soon, lots and lots of material about Russell's tax disputes, which Old Goat libelously insinuated were my inventions.
Also, about another attempted abduction of a young girl by the filthy pedophile Russell - new name. NEW LIGHT.

Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?
by Oubliette ini've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.
why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.
others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

JOHNROSS93:
The "Mark Sanderson" you alleged knew and now commend so highly (not only in this thread) is, if he ever existed, evidently long dead.
The zombie now in its place is a SPIRITUAL RAPIST **.
Try to understand this, and stop raising any hopes, thanks, about reform.
The thought that the evil G.B. would elect to join it anyone who hadn't clearly displayed the vilest cult credentials is ludicrous. They never, never, never want another Raymond V. Franz.
Thousands probably pray he dies painfully and soon, just like all leaders of this evil cult... of course, I am more charitable.

("NO COMPROMISE WITH EVIL!" Class)
NOTE: ** For the definition of a "Spiritual Rapist", I refer you to the Watchtower Society's own usage of "spiritual fornication" (see Watchtower 1986 March 15 p10-15, "Do Not Be Quickly Shaken From Your Reason") and spiritual pornography (any material critical of the Watchtower leadership).

NOT learning from mistakes is a sign of STUPIDITY (psst GB--are you listening?)
by Terry in1873 [six thousand years of man's existence ends in a.d. 1873] {wr apr 1880 88} .
1873 "here we furnish the evidence that from the creation of adam to a.d. 1873 was six thousand years.
and though the bible contains no direct statement that the seventh thousand will be the epoch of christ's reign, the great sabbath day of restitution to the world, yet the venerable tradition is not without reasonable foundation.. if, then, the seventh thousand-year period of earth's history be an epoch specially noted as the period of christ's reign, we shall, by showing that it began in a.d. 1873, be proving that we are already in it.

Thanks, Terry!
And, good to see my List is doing what I designed it to do - help prevent vectoring of this foul Watchtowerinanity Disease.
One small note - my acronym "TIAH" stands for "The Time Is At Hand", the 2nd volume of Russell's "Studies in Scripture" sextuplet (plus one bastard addition, "The Finished Mystery", claimed to be posthumously written by him in order to bolster Rutherford's position and to help dodge the draft. And thus not for "Truth Is At Hand". You will find, in most places where the List resides (should be all!) a list of abbreviations - for example, at the bottom here: http://www.freeminds.org/history/list.htm
I made up my own abbreviations rather than adhere to the WTS's own incomplete and idiotic ones (e.g., "g" for Awake!, chosen as it was the successor to The Golden Age, the most idiotic of all the Watchtower publications - and that is saying something, lol!
Now, here's a pretty picture of one bit of Bethelic stupidity from which the Gibbering Baboons did manage to learn:
The salmon-eyed among you will notice one activity that they have never again pictured in their picturorgasms about "Paradise Earth" (TM Watchtowercult). They showed it here, got WHACKed and never did it again.
It is possible to train the G.B. to perform some basic functions (e.g., Toilet-cleaning) but honestly it isn't worth the effort.
Much better to get them and oneself to a "theocratic nation" and deal with them theocratically - as prescribed in Deut. 13:6-11. Be sure to use only small stones so as to make it last.

Wrong.
8 videos are not required to discuss nothingness.
My point is principally one of logic - a proof of existence has to be the starting point, else we are considering the alleged properties of the elements of an empty set, etc.
Since one can't use logic to get someone out of something they didn't get into using logic, I accept that these videos may be helpful to some.

God Through The Lens Of Cognitive Science
... is peering at nothingness, a vacuum, with a lens. The lens won't change the fact that there's nothing there.
First, prove existence.
Only then try to examine.
As there will be a failure at step one, no need for a multitude of youtube videos... 5 seconds of a "blank" screen, or just static (even, the background radiation noise of the universe) would have sufficed.

Let's all be grateful for Goobergawd then, and lets hope he harvests the legalistic Seven Spiritual-Pedophiles very soon...
Unless it was one of the other Spiritual-Pimps, I think it was W. Lloyd Barry who was, in 1999, delivering his usual speech, "Fighters Against God Shall Not Prevail" (i.e., usual braindead jW gangreneous and cancerous collection of lies and threats), when... just upon finishing at the podium... he clutched at his chest with a cry and collapsed.
He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
If I wasn't a hardcore atheist... lol... I'd have said Goobergawd had responded.
Personally, I think it is a waste of a Governing Body Member death. Far better when they die this way:
