  Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do

  by minimus in

  witnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.

  everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

  SAHS;

  I agree with you. The no clanking of glasses rule must have obviously been a way of keeping different from people of the ''world''. No different from keeping ''the brotherhood'' different from celebrating holidays, birthdays, etc,etc.....

  Another one I couldn't understand is the wishbone when eating a chicken. I mean when you get a chicken you get the wishbone eventually. Just jokingly I said a few times ''hey a wishbone, let's see who gets the better of it'', then you get that disappointed, ''hey, no'', with kind of disgusted look.

  bottom line on new generation thinking -very simple

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when they came up with the overlapping generations new lite, they must have received alot of "where's the scriptural precedent?!

  so they came up with the account of joseph and his brothers to shut them up.

  still they are trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole to fit 1914 in the equation.

  When these guys are on their broadcasts just the demeanor and the condescending tone I find rather annoying too.

  Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".

  this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.

  obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

  I really wouldn't read too much into this rant until you actually see it in the Watchtower. I think it's just some guy(s) blowing hot air(opinion) for now.

  check his signature... it looks kind of childish/feminine (at least in my part of the world)... is this a grown man's signature for you?.

  That's because there aren't any scriptures to prove an overlapping generation.

  They always have to go back and use quotes and excerpts from previous months/years publication and then sum it up with that same old ending style of summary.
