absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!
so we were told in the 1980's!
so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.
Russell's measurement of the main passageway of the Great Pyramid changed by 40 inches from one edition of his book to the next in order to accommodate the doctrinal switch from 1874 to 1914.
Maybe the GB should head to Egypt and measure it again.
No telling what new light they could come up with...
i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.
how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.
i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.
FedUpJW,
Does this mean I'm my own grandpa?

Maybe it came invisibly in 1975.
If you didn't see it, you don't have "eyes of understanding."

David Spane couldn't explain it coherently because it is nonsense, so how could the ordinary JW?
i have read all the rules and terms of service etc before asking this, and there was also a topic about it from five months ago so i figure it's ok. i'm not sure with subject area it was supposed to go in, so i went in the watchtower one seeing as that's what it's about, but please correct me if i'm wrong as i don't want to break any rules accidently.
i was also unsure if i could post on that thread seeing as it's an old one.. has anyone had any success trying to get hold of the jw.org email(s)?
i would like to contact them about some questions i have but they seem to not have one, and i'm too nervous to ring a phone number they have in case someone recognised me.
Welcome!
In case you weren't aware, most of the "Questions from Readers" in WT literature are written by the Bethel staff, not by average JWs.
from today's daily wt text.. friday, december 31 2021.let your kingdom come.
let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.—matt.
6:10. christendom generally does not teach the scriptural truth that one day obedient humans will live forever on earth.
I think Rutherford described the change as, "Light flashed up..."
well don't know if this page has tread for new years predictions or with date it starts.
so might as well start now.
my new year's prediction for watchtower would be a big big sell out of kingdom hall's.
The GB will tell us that we are in the last seconds of the last minute of the last hour of the last day.
nasa hiring religious leaders just in case they found extraterrestrial life, at priceton university's center of theological inquiry.
.
just of curiosity, if nasa find something, how do you think the borg is gonna spin it.
How would the WT react?
Remember that the WT is always right, even when it's wrong, and that everything is proof that it's God's organization.
Hadn't Russell or Rutherford (I forget which) once taught that the moon was inhabited?
The WT will say that this proves they were on the right track all along and that their teaching just needed the refinement of new light (it was Vulcan, not the moon).
Oh, and by the way, Armageddon is just around the corner...
i have a new article at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/birthdays.php outlining why the watchtower stance against birthdays is wrong.
there have been a number of threads on jwn discussing this, and the article collates and summarises the points raised in these threads.
please feel free to point out any errors in grammar or logic.
Romans 14:4-6 specifically says that what days a person does or doesn't celebrate is a matter of individual choice and conscience which should not be judged by people who choose differently: "Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God."
good day all.
please i need someone to assist in devising an audio recording of the shepherding textbook.
i know the watchtower society do not have the audio recordings of it.
Be on guard against copyright violation unless you want to be sued by the WT.
Get some good legal advice before going to all that work and starting distribution.
