He looks like he is holding so many papers, possibly BOE letters. It is surprising that with nine Elders in prince's congregation that they didn't oust him. No doubt HQ had a lot of input.

he was very detail oriented and very eccentric.

That's great. It's so funny that she told you to look at their video's and you mention one in return that she should watch. It's sad that they don't know what is going on in their own religion so well done for bringing it up. -

It's ran by imperfect men.
Then where does God and Jesus fit in the earthly part of his organisation?

Overlapping gen teaching- Help?
by raven inhi 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.

Korean News : CoC in Korean
by AntiEntropy inhi 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.

Yes, I am concerned that there is a money grab going on but not on her part. I wonder if she is being taken advantage of and the delay in getting this book available doesn't do anything to allay those doubts. -

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

Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?
by JimmyPage inthe 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.

You are correct Jimmy. A partner can divorce under those circumstances but would not be able to remarry until their partner committed adultery. Fortunately, their definition of adultery is pretty broad and goes beyond sexual intercourse with a person of the opposite sex. -

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.
