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.
DATA DOG, they are simply buying more and more time with the ''generation extensions''. What gets me though is how in the HELL are they pulling all of these dates out of thin air like that. Are they just making this up as they go along or what?
After this months broadcast there will be with out a doubt a great many of confused people.
a recent letter to the elders outlined the new arrangement for delivering literature to the congregations.
the canadian branch will be downsizing by eliminating drivers and trucks and utilizing commercial carriers to bring the boxes of monthly literature .
more outsourcing and more lay offs.. the funny thing about it is that they want to have the literature delivered to various private homes of the rank and file rather than have the literature delivered to the kingdom hall.
if they did that, it would be the end of the jws because they won't have members.
when will be the end of this religion?
walking towards my seat after lunch, i made eye-contact with a j.w.
male walking towards me.
as we were passing, he smiled and said 'hello', so i replied with, 'hello'.. well, if a member of the g.b.
as the story of "annointed" ones goes.....when their spouse is left behind on earth, are they free to remarry?
that would kinda suck, being in heaven...watching the wifey , or hubby gettin doinked by someone new.
just sayin.....shewt...i got way too much time on my hands..
i went to the restaraunt in a small town where i work and sometimes live and there were some jws there for lunch break out in service.
it is amazing to watch the locals sit as far away as they can from the table of jws.
some actually sat at a near table then loved tables when they realized jws were sitting near them.
I can't remember where I read somewhere the other day. But one of the posters on here mentioned that the governing body could make mention that the GT is starting and to send all of the rank and file material things and valuables to the society as the rank and file will no longer need those things anymore. I can see this becoming more and more likely.
They could use the card ''we may be given instructions which may not seem strategic from a standpoint but we must be ready to obey''. That statement can just give you the chills.
because of the belief that the bible is quite literally the word god jws must shut out many logical concepts and theories.
it's not just evolution although that is a large one.
i know when i was in there were certain concepts that made sense to me but i would try not to think about them too much.
Some concepts which I really though about were;
Worldwide flood??? I mean so many things around the World prove otherwise.
Extraterrestrial life.
Blood policy
Evolution. When you here about fossils and certain other things found. Even things in humans like wisdom teeth, and how our jaw bone is ''supposedly gotten smaller over time''
so i went to the rc this past weekend and have a few observations:.
1 - use of videos - most parts had some sort of video prop.
they ranged from awkward (an example was on friday where they showed scenes of nature without a real purpose other than god made this) to very well done.

Thanks Doubting Bro,
I must have missed that part as I was just too lazy to sit there for that symposium, I had to get out for some fresh air in the parking lot, walk around or something.

Doubting Bro;
I'm just curious as to what day or when they had those parts at the Convention to men who were not MS or Elders. I can't recall hearing anything about that from our Convention.
