I have that book in new condition and I remember now that is where I got the fear and interest in the Truth but only studied the blue Truth Book in 1968. I got supicious of the Borg after the 1975 prediction failed.

Yes. Everyone lapped it up like a chocolate dessert. My wife says it is new light. I said to her we could be waiting another 30 to 50 years.

The Generation Watchtower (TOMORROW!) and The Cough of Incredulity
by slimboyfat inthe 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 injust 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?.

Every meeting seems to carry the same topic 'preach and teach'.

Was Jaracz one of the old gard GB? Was he around the same age as Barr?

Is changing the definition of Generation the same as changing your doctrine?

How can I fake my service time and yet have my group service overseer accept it? He keeps bugging me for more regular time.
