#11 is actually a good question... I am annoyed when people discussing the origins of life say something like "perhaps life was seeded by a more advanced civilization". For all intents and purposes that does as little to explain the origin of life as god does (and perhaps even less so)

marriage of the lamb to the 144,000. yawn.... yawn..... celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the photo drama of creation.
it seems to me that every 100 year anniversary shall be celebrated just to try and take the wind from the sails of apostates.. .

Basically God does this: "I'm going to make a prophecy today about tomorrow. It will come true but you won't understand it until I explain it to you the day after"

JW's interpretation of "Prophecy" is so strange. Basically to them, prophecies are things that are of no use and that no one can ever understand until after the prophetic event takes place and we can look back and say "ah, that fulfilled prophecy." Why in the hell even MAKE a prophecy if it's too dificult to even be noticed?

Just for shits and giggles it would be fun to have an added column of "1975" to see it spike in the 70s and then die completely.

To the contrary, I was always surprised that the "wicked world" didn't really care much one way or the other. They just thought it was peculiar.

New Understanding of this Generation
by pronomono inanother tidbit of information about this generation from the 1/15/2014 study edition under "let your kingdom come - but when?".
they've changed it again.. this generation will not pass away14-16.
what is a third reason for believing that gods kingdom will come soon?.

This is actually a much better explanation of the bungled initial overlapping explanation a few years ago. Its still preposterous, but expressed this way it at least closes a bunch of the loopholes that could extend the overlapping generations ad infinitum.
Also, at least they said "when the expectations of 1914 were not met"... usually 1914 is crowed as their perfect moment of prognostication.

publications come and go, but the Bible remains
This is a funny quote from an apologist a few pages back defending the changes to the Truth Book.
Well, I guess the Bible needed some updatin' too lol
