last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
John, Datadog etc, yes the like/dislike system is glitching.
Twenty upvotes for everyone on this page.
Aquila, I was not "upset" with your experience; I enjoy reading your posts. I just take all experiences with a grain of salt, especially since being duped for decades in this org and not being able to exercise my right to question anything I read ;-)

John, you have to many good stories or experiences, are you making this stuff up. I surely hope not
Read through his posting history. It's always a variation of "last night I bumped into..."The amount of people he accidentally bumps into that proffer personal and very incriminating beliefs is astounding. He must have a very trustworthy face and live in a village with a population of 50.

NeveraJW, I'm glad someone else sees this. Many here lap up everything that reaffirms their view of JW's without engaging the critical thinking skills that allowed them to escape from this cult.
Sure, it's entertaining reading his experiences but if you believe it all, I've got some disheartening news for you.
last night i was looking over the notes on my old elders book and one of the instructors told us to write this down.
"when you want to get the friends to believe and obey anything, just keep saying it over and over and over and eventually they will believe it and follow whatever they are being told.
when i went back to school, i learned this quote in one of my world history classes..
I don't remember being instructed to write that in my elders book either cantleave
around the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.
at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".
guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.
Funny how GB member Jacskson recently got married to that younger sister. Of all people, shouldn't he have remained single and focus only on the Lord? He's going to be raptured soon anyways, right?
Hypocrites.
guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.
david spane does his best to explain it again.
the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.
Blues Brother, anyone claiming to be anointed prior to 1992 (in their example) would be part of the second group. It would include many born even after 1960 if they had "the calling" in their twenties.
They've extended their timeline by decades now.
Quite the loose use of the word "generation"

So 1992 is Fred W Franz' death.... What exactly is the significance of that?They're using him as an example. "Assuming" he was the last one living that was anointed before 1914, his contemporaries of the generation would have to be someone anointed prior to his death in 1992.

When Franz died.Where the hell have they got 1992 from?
It's what the FWF in the chart stands for: Frederick William Franz
It should really be WTF

This will be the chart on JW broadcasting in 50 years.
They'll just keep extending the overlapping generation as much as they need to and eventually include the Group 3 of the anointed.
