TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

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.

David splane: What this means is that I and my comrades will be kept in the style to which we have become accustomed & by the time the shit really hits the fan i'll be long gone & in true Watchtower tradition some other sucker will be left to sort it out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Revelation 8:8 Is a comet / asteroid heading here soon?

by FuzzyPaul in

i have read a lot and watched some you-tube videos (some by marginally lunatic fringe christians - not necessarily invalidating) searching for asteroid september 2015 or comet september 2015.. there is some biblical evidence that, if one doesn't spiritualize / make literally invalid by symbolic exercise, that at the time of the end of the age there will be a uniquely severe, single great earthquake (isaiah 29:6, zecharia 4:7, haggia 2:6, revelation 6:12, revelation 16:18) and destructive objects described as hail, mountains falling from the sky, stars falling onto earth.

i note that ancients would not recognize the vastness of outer space and meteroids, asteroids, comets, planets being what we know them as.. there is also the exact symbol of "then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.

one-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

Off the top of my head the 'dinosaur'extinction you mention or the KT extinction of around 64 million yrs ago involved a mile wide meteor hitting mexico.

In fact the largest extinction event killing off 2 thirds of life, the permian extinction of over 200 mya was caused by a so called 'super volcano'& scientists believe a giant magma chamber of similar size lays under under yellowstone park.

ENFP CAMPAIGNER "don't loose that little spark of madness"!!!!

Free spirit, compassionate, fiercely independant crave creativity & freedom

Extrovert 36%

Intuative 38%

Feeling 44%

Prospecting 78%

Turbulent 19%

ENFPs will spend a lot of time exploring social relationships, feelings and ideas before they find something that really rings true. But when they finally do find their place in the world, their imagination, empathy and courage are likely to produce incredible results.

Empathy - I feel others pain literally, with an atavistic quality that caused me to black out when I heard the cries of those trapped in the twin towers as it collapsed

When they've found a cause that sparks their imagination, ENFPs will bring an energy that oftentimes thrusts them into the spotlight, held up by their peers as a leader and a guru – but this isn't always where independence-loving ENFPs want to be. Worse still if they find themselves beset by the administrative tasks and routine maintenance that can accompany a leadership position. Which is why as a women I was too rebelious for JW dom & could not stand the lack of responsibility NOW 1W3 LOOK INTO MY EYES, FOLLOW ME & HAND OVER YOUR VALUABLE THINGS!!

I thought of what may happen if it was me

by Truth and Justice in

a brother goes to the thursday night meeting, and an elder says that he and a couple of elders would like to visit with him.

" the elder says "well lets wait till after the meeting.

" so he waits.

Perhaps I am not understanding you fully, as I am a little confused (it happens when you get a little long in the tooth).

Is this a story you heard? Its just if you have been out for 25 years it could not have happened in your own day. Do you mean to say you have seen thingslike this?

Today's meeting & WT 7/2015 study "Work to enhance the spiritual paradise"

by Mrs. Eden in

so, much against my inclination, i went to the meeting this sunday morning.

just starting to fade, but i needed to do it so that it doesn't look like my hubby turned my head during last week's vacations.

since i'm not just disappearing cold turkey, i went.

Hi mrs E, yes I too saw the photo of that poor little might who drowned with his family trying to escape the war in Syria. It is heartbreaking, and your post made me realize what was not obvious to me when I was blinded by WT dogma.

There are many refugees stuck on the Hungarian border and hundreds & hundreds are opening their homes to them in Germany, where they are trying to go. Crowd funding sites are filled with people raising funds to go to open food kitchens & aid stations at calais where many are living in appalling conditions. Not to mention all the donations of cash & goods to the many charaties supporting aid workers in the war zones they are fleeing from. For all the flak the UN gets from the Watchtower, for many refugees they are a lifeline & do more for desperate, suffering & vulnerable refugees than the Watchtower will ever do.

There is a word for people who behave online the way the WT do about much in the world - they are called 'HATERS'. All they can do is condemn the agencies who at least try to allieviate suffering. NGO's, charities & governments are far from perfect but they are formed of individuals - many of whom genuinely try to effect positive change.....

As the saying goes all it takes for evil to thrive is for good men to do nothing. The WTBTS would do well to consider that.

by sowhatnow in

someone please tell me how or if i can find proof that the rumor [that is pasted below] that was posted by a friend [still in, but should know better] on my face book page is false, [which of course we all know it is,] this makes me so angry, i have to stick my neck out and comment on this post but need something to back me up....anyone want to enlighten me where this got started?

i need proof he never said such a thing, it seems to me its false.

whats interesting is this, the bible in the photo accompanying the statement below is the latest version.... [photo].
