at the corporate meeting david splane discusses the use and misuse of types/antitypes.. the main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented in the scriptures as a. type of some future event.. he quoted schroeder who said if an account isnt explained in the scriptures as a type than you.
shouldnt use the event as a type.. splane summed up his talk by saying if the bible is silent - we must be silent.. but they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly.
going beyond anything written in the bible about nebuchadnezzars tree dream.. the bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing nebuchadnezzar.. daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.. .
I need to clarify something here. I posted the title as referring to Splane. But we don't know if he was the sole originator of this concept.
He is an easy target because he gave the talk. Most likely this was voted on by the GB. We will never know who thought it was a good time to bring up typology.
They have been going through a lot of crazy ideas ever since the Oracle (Fred Franz) died. Not that his stuff wasn't crazy. But it had a certain consistency to the madness.

Phizzy,
Thanks for pointing out the wording in 4:33. I overlooked that. It is very explicit in regards to the meaning of the dream.
All the rest is obiously a Watchtower dream.
Splane said the GB is having trouble keeping up with the Celestial Chariot.
He should have said they are having trouble keeping up with JWD.

At the Corporate meeting David Splane discusses the use and misuse of Types/Antitypes.
The main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented IN THE SCRIPTURES as a
type of some future event.
He quoted Schroeder who said if an account isn’t explained in the scriptures as a “type” than you
shouldn’t use the event as a type.
Splane summed up his talk by saying “If the Bible is silent - we must be silent”.
But they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly
going beyond anything written in the Bible about Nebuchadnezzar’s Tree Dream.
The Bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing Nebuchadnezzar. Nothing more.
Daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.
i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.
It's not a matter of agreeing with JW's. The Bible view of the soul as the living organism is good science and philosophy.
Aristotle also had a scientific view of the soul compared to Plato.
Resurrection/cloning if there ever were such a thing would not be for your benefit but for the benefit of the community you share.
We really don't have accurate memories of our own histories.
If any of us were cloned we would be up to speed in a jiffy developing enough induced fabricated memory to make people around us happy and after a couple hundred years your current history would dominate and you would hardly care.
Do you care about the 365 days you spent as a five year old?
obviously he didn't.. so now they can because the dictators say it's ok.. and jw's think their religion isn't a high control group?.
.
.
Obviously he didn't.
So now they can have sisters on the sacred stage - without head coverings - giving "praise dance" lessons because the dictators say it's OK.
And JW's think their religion ISN'T a high control group?
dude, every picture i see of any bethel heavies or gb members (a lot of cos also) have them wearing a second huge gold ring!
this is a clear sign of "hey i'm a bigshot!
" you just dont see that in interviews of celebrities or politicials.
Pinky rings are in the same class as tatoos. They are identity statements.
"I am rich"
"I am special"
"I am important"
"I am gay"
"I am top boss"
"I achieved"
"I belong"
I like pinky rings. When I see a man with one it is a warning to stay as far away as possible.
There are lots of google links to men wearing pinky rings. And it seems most of the views are on the negative eye-rolling side and at best given a "whatever".
But now that we know "Happiness is the Truth"(Pharrel Williams) - then party on you pitiful old men.
my son and i were discussing this yesterday over coffee.
since the wt society in previous years virtually demonized going on the internet at all for jw's - now wt leaders are doing a complete turn around or about face probably so as to " compete " or keep up with all the anti-jw websites that are out there to give the wt society point of view.. however- it very well may backfire on them as once people start doing google searches looking for jw.org it will bring up all the other websites dealing with any jw issues and in the privacy of their own homes out of curiosity i'm sure lots of jw's are going to want to check out some of these sites to see what all the " apostate " hoopla is all about.
i wonder how many jw's will do this and will it have an effect in opening more minds to other views ?

When Outlaw makes a post minus a cartoon you had better pay special attention.
I think he nailed it.

tick tock...... forget about that daniel image/prophecy stuff.
the process is being accelerated by trying to sanction russia, as they draw closer to china and thereby build an alternative economic system( including a swift banking arrangement of their own).
DJS,
I don't know how I came up with DJF.
Got the first two letters right.
Phoenetically esss and effff ARE similar.
