The Generation Watchtower (TOMORROW!) and The Cough of Incredulity
by slimboyfat in
1. jw
2. friends
the watchtower will be studied tomorrow that contains the new overlapping generations teaching.

paragraph 10 reads:.

"he evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation.".

Jaracz' funeral talk to be on Monday June 14
by sir82 in
1. jw
2. friends
just saw an e-mail, passed on thru numerous hands before it got to me.. actual e-mail topic was something else, but the funeral info was included way down the chain.. location was given as "brooklyn" - not more specific than that.. probably some place deep inside the bethel compound, to keep potential troublemakers away, i reckon.. one wonders what the service will be like.. he had a lot of influence, and was feared, but based on what i've read, not really loved.

will a lot of people show up?.

i asked why the '1914 generation' term was removed from the awake magazine masthead in november of 1995. the brother there told me that jesus said we are living in a time of change.

does anybody have scriptural proof of this?

does jesus apply this to his day or our day?

How much time have they bought themselves? How long can they stretch it now?

members of the second group of annointed will be alive to see the end, or so they are now saying, therefore the youngest member of the anointed alive today is the key here.

how old is the youngest accepted annointed person today?

they can't be any younger than 50-ish, surely.

recently i have been approached by an elder and asked if i could get going again in the door to door preaching activity due to not having any time in for three months.

i told him it was due to health reasons, etc.

now it seems i am due for a sheperding call in the very near future.

Michael Jursa (British Museum) and 587 vs. 607 B.C.
by Dogpatch in
1. jw

this was sent to me as a comment for free minds.

the author says, i'm not sure if you are aware of this fact or not: if you look at the awake!

may 2009 pg 11 , it says that jerusalem siege was in 607, according to professor michael jursa working in the british museum, but curiously if you go to the british museum official webpage, (in "search" put michael jursa) you ll see that it says the siege of jerusalen was in 587 bc !!.
