my brother [the elder] often refers to this line as to 'knowing a tree by it;s fruits'.
so,my question is what are the jw fruits?.
just asking....sincerely.
Well "disposable hero of hypocrocy " you raise fair points. Personally I would answer your post:-
For some it takes longer for the smoke to clear. Therefore no hangman rope from me to your comment, but I don't see it your way.

p.s The Watchtoer never made me a better man. And I don't thank it for the times it gave me.
in the latest jw broadcast splane is quoted as saying:.
"suppose there was a man who died 10 minutes before joseph was born.
would he be part of joseph's generation?
Punk in my day rock stars hullusinated on drugs, lost consciousness and expressed themselves in great songs such as " won't get fooled again"
Personally I am not sure what acid our " Rock Star" Splane is on, but I would sure like to try some. It seems to bypass common sence and reality...

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.
Blues Brother, the answer you received back from the society makes as much sence as this:-
Dear Brother.
Thank you very much for your sweet letter. You asked for some clarification on the " generation interpretation"
Oh I could give you a big hug! Bless you for your sincere question.
And. having read your simply darling comments about your understanding of " The Generation interpretation" We give you the clarity you ask for:-
Please note the article in " The Watchtower 15th" now has a broader meaning so :-
A) Shouldnt your heart be in your mouth?
B) The excitement! of the latest clarification is something our past generations of brothers would have longed to have knowledge of.
C) The greater understanding we now have, it shows Jehovers blessing.
Still, MUST NOW DASH......
" We send you warm Christian love and best wishes"
" Your brothers in Jehovers service"
p.s we have sent your letter of concern to the elders in your congregation who will happily give a fuller explanation to your questions, in more personal and private surroundings.

Great thread TTWSYF.:- " What ARE the fruits the J.W tree produces?
According to the Kingdom News no 7 :-
"It strengthens families and upholds high MORAL standards"
Personally I would say some words have no MORALS.
So the Moral of my post, whoever allows themselves to believe the Moral system of the watchtower is valid, basically is lacking in Morals.
So to answer your question the fruit the J.W tree produces is whipped and broken souls, with a shallow Moral compass. But they of course don't see it that way.

i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
I agree Splash it is " a big deal" but I can't help being filled with mixed emotions on this.
Why?
Because i own 2 expensive watches, and as a witness I wore them. It never came up as a big deal, and ummmmmmm if it did I would answer truthfully one was an inheritance the other I bought from money my Great Aunt left me, because I wanted something always to remember her by.
Maybe I am missing the point, but my issue with the G.B has nothing to do with what suits, ties or watches they wear. I guess I am naive on this matter. But I am glad this issue has become " a big deal" for many as it seems to be opening closed eyes.
Having said that on another post today I wrote:-
" When the G.B appear on their own T.V evangelising show:-
a) The witness persona of the G.B is less mystical and the G.B can be seen for who they are.
b) The witness can clearly see who comes up with the shit they believe.

Oubliettte, the war isn't won on a watch. The watch is a flower that will outlive Autumn and illegality.

You can buy many books on the art of selling. But if you want to make MONEY learn the rules which are:-
a) Talk with the big boys who make decisions.
b) Talk with these " big boys" about watches.
The greatest salesman do that, because it puts them on the purchasers level. Personally I don't think a " Golden apple watch" is a very impressive level, in terms of materialistic success.
I get the point, but seriously who is impressed by a Gold Apple watch?
I think it's an extravagance, but it's not such a big deal. It's not as though we think they live in bed-sits, and only dream about foreign travel is it?

scotus: kentucky clerk must issue same-sex marriage licenses.

updated 8:02 pm et, mon august 31, 2015. let's hope this is the final screech from the haters who wrap themselves in the bible - or their egoist political philosophy i doubt it will be, but let's hope..
LoveUnHate Exams:- " I joined this thread asking for people to keep a sence of perspective and got ridiculously down-voted"
I think thumbs up or down are often given in a rather amusing fashion, ( See my post on "Won't get fooled again...did man land on the moon"
More often I noted my "thumbs down" were because I didn't articulate my point, and therefore my point was then ridiculed . However nobody was sent to jail, and my thread was therefore people beating themselfs over the head with a brick, because my points weren't qualified.
I believe this thread is qualified,and if you get thumbs down why worry about it? At least you put your thoughts forward...I respect that.
But this thread is to me about the old world falling apart, and a new world of tolerance. It's about banning the confederate flag and it's not what the " Supreme Court" says is right. It's about a governments and peoples lack of freedom and tolerance.
This thread is about NON-freedom and intolerance, and what we were taught to approve as right from wrong . If the Gay Marriage thing has no chance then I have my own lawn to moe, and my own kid to bring up....

CEV. " Only the Lord can decide"
Well let me ask you something. Do you think the Christians arguing this have been in prayer, and received an answer from the Lord?
If so then did God answer ?
" Oh yea she is right and " Gay" marriage" it's discusting"
I think the Christians campaigning outside the court house saying it's sodomy miss the point. This is about the right for " Gay Marriage" and " LOVE" between two people.
As for what goes on in the marriage bed, I really don't think that is our business. I also think it's pretty presumptuous to be a Christian, and think God doesn't approve of something beautiful and pleasant because of interpreting a piece of paper in a book.
Anyway my point is about love and acceptance. I believe using people in shabby rooms for sex without love, is sad. But for some shabby room sex is all some will have. (syphilis,gonorrehea, the clap)
Christians do you think is this is better and holier than gay marriage?
Am I right in thinking you opposers would raise your children,but not love and accept them if they are Gay?
Some people need and are just lucky to find a soul mate?

i have not been on the board in a long time, and as i started reading some of the posts, i could not believe how many new faces or names have appeared on this site.
it is certainly alot more than i could count.
it builds more confidence in me, that the other have of my immediate family will open their eyes.

So your prediction is in 20 years most witnesses will drink from the blood of Christ "FOR THE REMMISSION OF SINS"
Arnt you focusing on the " trivial"?
What is the point of drinking Jesus blood, if you still believe in " ethnic cleansing" and look forward to the slaughter of all those that don't conform to your understanding of " Bible" tolerance?
Yes drink of the blood of Christ, but still look forward to the day God destroys our Gay, Athiest, Muslim ect neighbours. With that attitude to me that point of view is meaningless, and a cup not even worth sipping from.
Was not the most basic teaching of Christ " Let he who is without sin cast the first stone? If so is not drinking symbolic red wine, just like appreciating a beautiful red rose?
