with the "generation change" and them changing it all the time it would make sence to dump it all togeather.. lets face it ,it can be disproved easly.. they dumped 1975 in a heart beat .. this would buy them all the time they wanted as they would just find another date to start the generation from ie: "the u.n year of peace and sercurty'',1986 i belive or whatever else they could think of.. they could sell it to the r&f as easly as they sold 1975,then dumped it when it did'nt happen .. anyone questioning them would be told they are running ahead of jehovah or lacking faith in his earthly org that feeds us food at the proper time .. what do you think?.
karter..
LOL at Sapphy's "heart of wisdom" comment! I'll never forget that line from the 1995 watchtower and, of course, the way they tried to blame the R & F.
I just don't see them ever giving it up though. It's true that it's becoming an enormous embarrassment for them as they try to wiggle around the fact that 100 years have gone by. Even for the most brainwashed of their followers, surely a lightbulb would go off if they dropped 1914.
this is my plea to active jehovah's witnesses attending the district convention who are about to hear the change of the generation doctrine.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crc2i4xt32a.
.
hope everyone enjoys it..
Amen brother! If people buy this new overlapping bullshit, I have no pity for them. It's the most egregious example ever of the Watchtower expecting its adherents to swallow any new understanding no matter how patently ridiculous it is.
....either mentally or bodily?.
I have never seen Shasta cola and lemon-lime except at conventions. Was it a nationwide thing? I attended conventions mainly at the Providence, RI Civic Center.
I remember most of the menu. I remember what a stampede it was at lunchtime to get into the line. What a fine provision the new light about bringing our own food was. I was vile though as I went out to restaurants at lunch.

just uploaded page 2...not 1 or 3 as they are of no interest.. this talk is only given by gb members or branch committee members.
enjoy.
Thanks yknot. The sendspace worked for me.
I am once again mindblown that they can try to sell this bullshit with a straight face. Mindblowing.
For any Witnesses with even a degree of rational thinking and an ability to reason, this has to be a red flag. Unfortunately, most don't even pay attention and are mostly in it for the social benefits anyway.
It's interesting that the 1995 explanation is completely passed over with not a word about what would have led them to abandon it without a trace.

The web address also goes to a deleted file when I try it. It's possible my work firewall has something to do with it though.
what type of public apology do people need to hear to be able to believe it and accept it?.
the authors of the five languages of apology, gary chapman and jennifer thomas, might have an answer.. when we apologize we hope that the act of sincere apology will eliminate bad consequences and automatically earn forgiveness of other people.
but the authors discovered that ...sincere apologies may not always be received as sincere and forgiveness and reconciliation are not always forthcoming.
What a completely pompous asshole!
theme was something about "loyalty to jehovah's visible organization".. i have neither the time nor inclination to summarize the whole thing, but a few points stood out:.
even if it causes you personal hardship.
example: joshua & caleb returned from spy trip to promised land with good report, but were "outvoted" by the other 10 spies.
I agree that this takes things to a new level. It's disturbing and scary. Unfortunately many of them have so much emotionally invested that they just can't let go no matter what is said to them.
i listened to this district overseer's talk here:.

i had never heard of the guy and was curious if perhaps he was decent.
I listened to the whole thing too Olin. I guess I just wanted it reconfirmed for me the reasons I left. Speakers like this jackass certainly bring it home to me quickly enough. His utter contempt for anyone not a gung ho JW is palpable. It's obvious he's looking forward to the slaughter. He practically gushes when talking about the number of dead bodies. No remorse of the absurdity of 1975, just blame the rank and file. Disgusting.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I wonder when he decided he was one of the anointed. The biography conveniently leaves that out. I thought he was a very poor speaker. I hate how he pauses waiting for laughs.

It was late 2009 in California.
