other than that, he is a complete mystery
lol
welcome to the forum friend. Interesting info, incredible that such a crazy piece of random musing should have such a profoundly destructive influence on millions of lives even 200 years later!

by Chevelle inthis is my first post.
i am a pimo who has been lurking for a while and i hope to make new friends here.. for now, i would just like to highlight that this year marks 200 years since john aquila brown wrote that crazy book(let) of speculations that charles taze russell practically copy/pasted into his "studies in the scriptures" which eventually affected all of our lives in one way or another.. cheers.

The memorial service will be attended by a member of the Governing Body, who take the lead in coordinating the Witnesses’ international activities, as well as representatives of World Headquarters and the Central Europe branch.
interesting....so they admit the Governing Body are in charge, eh? Have to remember that next time they try to weasel out of responsiblility for anything.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

As for Lloyd, he was trying to take the lead in something, even when the deceased was hardly known to him. Always policing the threads, making unsolicited comments about what Oopma would or would not have liked despite not knowing him.
Imagine if Lloyd had never left the UK. Had brown nosed his way into becoming a CO.....?!! kept the whole thing on the down low for another 25 years until he gets caught .... sniffing coke off a hookers ass in Bangkok by the UK's Branch office representative and The Daily Mirror... whose come to watch Cedars give a talk on "Godly marriages"

Uncle punky seems to me they suddenly claim to be anointed(tm) to get a position in the corporation(tm) as GB(tm) (Pee be upon them), member.
It's so disingenuous that it's risible
Ruddy right it's risable!!!
There's no way a born in with stalwart parents baptised in 89 claimed to be anointed! He'd have been laughed out of the Hall. Back then the anointed were all...well not just old, but WW1 generation old. You never, ever saw anyone under 70 imbibe on the old memorial. Cook decided he was anointed in the Bethel canteen, apparently, soon after he took up post there about 11 years ago😂
Rattigan That way women aren't fawning over them because of their accents like they do with Barr, Loesch and Jackson.
Ratty that's the funniest thing I've read all week: "women aren't fawning over..…...... Jackson"😂😭

Does anyone know where Antony Morris' accent is from? It's very distinctive and unusual..."Mayyy gets"(maggots) . Is it Florida? It's very odd. Sounds vaguely Canadian?

A question about the contemporary generation teaching following a conversation with a JW apologist
by Giles Gray ini would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.
