i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .

I read those verses and Jerusalem ,Judah and the nations are going to serve Neb .
Nowhere does it say be exiled ,they could be in servitude wherever they live in their own territory.
Seems to me you are reading more into it because your mind has been trained to.
atlantis:.
how many versions of the book called riches were there?.

Also had to chuckle at the picture on page 157 in the garden of Eden
The whitest of white Adam and Eve and satan in the rear with cloven hoofed feet ,raised bat wings looking exactly like a vampire !

Thank goodness they are keeping the GB white and proportionly American with that nice token black man.
nasa plans return to moon by 2020
"this vision aims to return humans to the moon, and then to use it as a staging point for a manned mission to mars.
i wonder if jws will be required to canvas those areas too.
Wow a spaceship is circling the moon . Hang on did'nt that happen in 1969 ?
Someone may wonder then if the 1969 show was a fake ,but then any movie that good would not be made in America would it?
would he be working on the massive audio/visual complex being built at ramapo?.
i overheard my wife listening to some update broadcast this morning and immediately thought would a true humanitarian such as jesus, mahatma gandhi or albert schweitzer be at all interested in such things?
these were 'people' persons not interesting in the stupid trappings of life.. if the gb were to sanction the building of hospitals, orphanages, refugee centers and the like, maybe we would have a little more respect for them but this ramapo project seems like a sense waste of time, energy and money.
I wonder if Jesus was involved years ago when the governing body sanctioned VHS tapes to be made for their teaching work .The problem with some of the copies was they were recycled VHS tapes with PORN still on them !
Remember that ,or maybe Jesus was at the privvy when that occurred.
just a shower thought came to mind.. while jesus was nailed to the stake/cross (take your pick) because of the witnesses lack of belief in hell.
does that mean according to witness doctrine that satan and his demons were in heaven while jesus was being executed?.
what about after jesus went to heaven?
Heaven seems to be a totally different place compared to the local Kingdom Hall or any where true JW's are gathered.
An apostate in heaven can roam freely and speak and be spoken to ,but amongst JW people on earth apostates are condemned to hatred ,shown fear of ,thrown out of families just for not going to Kingdom hall anymore ,or questioning the enforced teachings of the governing body.
And yet none of us have ever been a Satan and corrupted gods crowning glory ,the first two people created made in gods image ,supposedly.

I guess when no one is special anymore they can't get up on a pedestal.
i have seen arguments surrounding jesus' resurrection being proof of "the trinity" - now while in some cases it's a good argument the evidence for it remains very weak.
(bible quotes are from the nwt but other bibles are referenced, use whichever you please) this following version of it is a good example.. "the bible indicates that all [persons] of the trinity was involved in jesus’ resurrection.
galatians[1:1] says that the father raised jesus from the dead.

So does a memory stick weigh more when data is put on it? Really?
When you talk to someone do you weigh LESS when the sound comes out of your mouth?
curious.
time goes by so fast.
who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?

Oh I remember the poorly written songs and how dreary some were. Is'nt it funny how they replaced their songs and song books over the years .
Alot like their teachings ,they became out of date ,and yet hymns of the churches can be beautiful and enduring in time. I think this just tells us how the WTS is just an imitator and failure.
Remember the half hearted droning of the congregations ,though sometimes one would hear a spirited singing voice ,undoubtly coming from someone seeking privileges or an over zealous pedophile hiding behind a kingdom song.
