  the purpose of generation explanation

  by poopie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok here is my 2 cents they are getting complaints concerning the drum beat that goes we are in the last hour of last min bla bla bla and people are tired and want system to end so if the system is ended sooon then why are there new partakers assuming that most have the actually calling.

  so now we have a problem how do we fix it?

  simple just say those new annointed are not part of this generation so now if we appoint younger guys to gb not to worry there not a part of this generation.

  Prologos mentioned that they got 1914 right... sorry friend but no they did not! They got it entirely wrong. It was to be the first year of world peace! Nobody could get it more wrong. Russell was gravely disappointed at the failure in 1914 to realise his own prediction baby of the end of human rule on earth and the establishment of God’s government worldwide. Watchtower revisionist history of course sees it differently. The WTBTS have never got anything right and never made a correct prediction. They have never said anything useful apart from directing money to their own bank.

  The doctrines they guard, which are often confusing and contradictory such as the generation thing, are just to shift the focus of the flock away from thinking about the glaring lack of divine approval they demonstrate. This is what doctrines are for.

  A ship (no matter how big) will ultimately sink if it has a hole

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  humanity is like a ship, and holes are our hobbies (lust, greed etc.

  which are fondly renamed as each one likes) which always have been outperforming what science could accomplish!

  most of the greater or significant scientific achievements started from 19th centurymay be with the commercial transmission of electricity!

  Your reasoning is at the same stunted level as JWs is... and don't knock lust...it keeps the species going.

  TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

  david spane does his best to explain it again.

  the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

  Like drowning rats all at sea, they are happy to find they have been thrown a doctrinal lifebelt now the 1914 generation ship has sunk below the waves.

  Illusions and false promises; that's all JWs need for a happy life.

  Elder's Meeting about ARC? No. Really?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as you may or may not know (or care), i live in the uk.

  a jw spy of mine told me that an elder had metioned that attendance at the kingdom hells had seemed to have dropped off after the australian royal comission expose of paedophilia within the watchtower organisation.. the elders were said to have had this as an item or the subject of a local elder's meeting.. i was surprised they'd even heard of the arc over here but at the same time was delighted.

  delighted that meeting attendance had dropped possibly....and i say possibly...as a result of the arc.. even an older dyed in the wool jw i know is getting sick of the gb worship within the organisation and had heard of the arc.. has anyone heard similar?.

  Not in historical time Quincemyles, possibly 480,000 years ago there was almost a land bridge...but that is not the point. The point is that the animals in the ark fable would have all have had to return to their own land of origin and begin breeding again for the paleontological record to be uninterrupted... which is an improbability to the extreme degree!

  The Noah's ark story only makes sense as a myth.

  Solomon's Temple construction, things you realize when no longer asleep.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok so in 1kings chapters 5-6 is where we have the story of the construction of solomon's most holy temple to god, the supreme god.

  it says that to build this magnificent temple they used 30,000 men, 10,000 per month.

  another 70,000 common laborers in the hills digging up stone and 80,000 stone cutting laborers.

  Carey Mulligan had already stolen my heart by an astonishing performance in the film called "Never let me go". The Borg's motto is "never let them go."

  There's creepiness for you Birdy, it sounds like the beginnings of the Watchtower police state with tabs on every individual's potential to expose them...a trial run for the paradise police state to come...

  i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

  i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?

  and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

  Peony, just a thought; you probably have had enough of paranormal beliefs as a JW---why not try NORMAL for a change?---it can be very refreshing!

  I'm with you Freemindfade I reckon it's a test sample to see if they can find the causes of JDubs leaving. They then will attempt specific propaganda remedies to counter the problems they uncover...let's hope it is a total failure.
