One doesn't hear "1914" or "generation" much today. I suspect WT is wishing they would just go away!

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe 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.

All the Democrat politicians hate him.
AT LEAST 50% of GOP politicians openly hate him and many more are afraid to admit that.
Any one who is that much of an "OUTSIDER" of the SWAMP has to be an improvement from a DC INSIDER.

Thankfully Kevin stood up to the WTS/GB's legal attack to silence him.
Do you recall in the 1940's/1950's when the WT won 49 of 50 cases in the US Supreme Court. Surely evidence of Jehover's Blessing. But that was last century. Today, it would appear they cannot win a case, even if the decision costs them MILLION$.
Ever wonder what that is "evidence" of?

At what point, does one become apostate to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 inat what point does a jehovah’s witness cease to be a jehovah’s witness?
what if a witness doesn't believe some of the official teachings of the governing body but remains silent on these subjects to avoid being disfellowshipped?
is he or she an apostate to the faith?

When you state you disagree with the GB position on any matter.

Sadly I do remember that. Guess it ages me.
Interesting when looking at the "average" numbers as they are much the same today, but I suspect that they were more "REAL" back then.

Is WT Using ATTENDANTS At The Conventions To Be: "TOY COPS"
by HiddlesWife ini have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

Being an "attendant" at least gave you "reason" to walk the halls vs having to sit for hours drinking the KoolAid.

Reddit post about elder asking congregation for money to fix his car!
by LongHairGal inyes, there’s a post on reddit.
it says that after a zoom meeting a request was made to baptized publishers to give $20 apiece to fix this elder’s car.. while this sounds highly irregular to me and not necessarily approved by the religion, i am not at all surprised at the nerve.
this, unfortunately, seems to be the direction that things are going there!

I wonder what they are going to do when more older Witnesses pass away and there are yet fewer responsible people to even ask money from?
What I hear from family still (mostly) in is that young people are contributing and doing so beyond reason, ie, a minimum wage food service working who kicks in $100/month and thinks she should give more.

How about having a special undercover mode so PIMOs can browse the site with greater security?
by Island Man inwhen you visit the site it says jehovahs-witness big and bold.
a pimo might be browsing the site and a jw might come up behind him unexpectedly and notice he's visiting a site about jws other than jw.org, which can lead to the pimo reported for viewing apostate information.. to help remedy this risk, i was thinking about the possibility of having a button that activates an undercover mode where the title of the site is not prominently displayed so it's not easily apparent to an accidental eavesdropper that it's an apostate website.
also, the color-scheme and graphics can be different so that it doesn't look like the regular site.

Those at risk need to learn to clear their history, or use the incognito option on their browser.

Cofty, some people simply cannot humble themselves to admit they've been beat.
