hi friends,.
can someone please help explain to me the overlapping generations teaching?
i have not been able to grasp this one or what it even applies to?
According to their own teachings the prophecy that 'this generation will by no means pass away until all these things come true' cannot occur.
The statement indicates that the generation WILL pass away, it is only the timing which is discussed. It does not say 'will never pass away'. A recent article discusses the rapture during the GT, where the anointed will be instantly transformed and enter the heavenly realm.
Their previous teaching had survivors passing through Armageddon to live forever.
hi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.
however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.
fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.

You're right Hadriel- it is her choice and with that, most of what has occurred (or not occurred) since she received the Copyright and what occurs in the future is a direct reflection on her.
As for people expecting it to be sorted out in 24 hours, I think you are over exaggerating
the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.
.
i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?
Their definition of adultery is rarely clearly explained. Maybe the reason for that issue to their flip flopping on the issue.
I understand it currently means the same as pornea with the only difference being marriage.
Pornea involves the manipulation of sexual organs (but not breasts, no doubt the divorce rate would be even greater if it included this).
At one stage adultery didn't include sex with a person of the same sex or an animal.
This is a suspicion but I bet it does not include child sexual abuse. One of the RC case studies helps to confirm this.

will you be a survivor of the last days?.

Why does an innocent mate have to work with their partner in strengthening the marriage if they choose to forgive their partner for committing adultery?
They are basically saying that the innocent mate has to shoulder some of the blame. Whilst this may be the case at times, it is not always.
It's almost as if they don't want the innocent mate to forgive.

Hadriel, I get the feeling that you think that some of us have an evil agenda.
Our agenda is to want to see the book readily and cheaply available.
If you and the Copyright owner have a different agenda then it goes some way to explaining the delays.
i am an inactive awake "witness" who recently had a birthday.
most of my family is in.
my hubby is awake, with no family in.
It was a brilliant idea for the organisation to ban birthdays, it provided a number of benefits for them. Along with the ones already mentioned, these are some more-
Free advertising. Not celebrating gets the JWs noticed.
Control. I he org has been able to weild it's own strength by imposing rules that aren't even biblical.
Individual unworthiness. This is important in a cult
It gets children trained from a young age to be identified as someone weird and different.

Hadriel, even without the 2008 changes, the book will and has helped a countless number of people. It's not dumb to want to see even the old version available.
If a lot of this delay has been due to a few small changes then I hope that the Copyright owner feels all the money and time spent was worthwhile.
The bottom line is that the book is virtually unavailable and has been for some time.
It just stinks and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there are people making a pretty penny from the owner and concocting stories in order to make more.
