ThomasMore - “… Remaining JW's (minus those who are not actively planning to fade or DA) cannot explain what the current thinking is. This is a REAL problem for the GB…”
Only if they actually expect JWs to explain it.

the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

but at the may 3, 2024, meeting of the general conference of the worldwide united methodist church in charlotte, north carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.. .
“the united methodist church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct.
“Spank my bottom line! Spank it!!!”

TonusOH - “…And also idiots, because it's just that stupid of an idea.”
In telling you guys, there’s folks in the Writing Dept. who are trolling the leadership, just to see how far they can go.

Notty - “…Will the memorial become an annual event wherein the JW congregations of the world get to watch a livestream of the GB partaking?”
Know what’s really funny?
The way things are going, that doesn’t even sound all that weird.

…that the Org had to make tick-boxed lemonade.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
'many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered.

Beth - “…When it comes to to legal issues or $$$…
At this point, the line between the two is permanently fuzzy.

Something else…
…loss of charity-status-slash-tax-exemption will be almost impossible to spin as “persecution” and have anyone with half a brain take it seriously…
…because the Bible explicitly commands (“True”) Christians to “pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar”… and the context that command is given in doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for creative interpretation.
Only the most Koolaid-dependent would say “bottoms up” (actually, even with them, I have doubts)…
…and frankly, anyone that far gone is, IMO, a lost cause.
i get a few good laughs from the ex-jw facebook site: " ex jw humor will set you free".. i was laughing over dinner with 3rd gen over this post tonight: "question for the audience: i was driving around today and it hit me...there are big falsehoods (armageddon etc.
) that we were told, but also ridiculous falsehoods.
what is your favorite ridiculous falsehoods?
Diogenesister -
“… JW adult: 😶 [crickets]…”
I have a minor revision to the script, if you don’t have any objections…
JW adult: 😶 [crickets], then angrily: “Go to your room!” (translation, embarassed: “You made me feel stupid!”)
