the watchtower will be studied tomorrow that contains the new overlapping generations teaching.
paragraph 10 reads:.
"he evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation.".
All hail The Cough of Incredulity!
I visualize "The Cough" as a caped superhero, like Marvel comics' "The Vision" or even "Zorro" or "V" or "The Scarlet Pimpernel."
(Personally, I enjoy "The Caraway Pumpernickel")
"The Cough Of Incredulity" his cough can make JWs fade.

she was about 13 or 14 when i first started having serious doubts about the wts.
when i informed her of my doubts a couple years later, she took the information and ran with it.... she never looked back.
i told her she could be whatever she wanted to be if she only worked hard enough.
Let me add my congratulations. Well done!

He has the ability to fly into his own asshole an infinite number of times, from which mathematicians derived the concept of the "Jaracz-Hole." (see Klein bottle)
the ancient greeks thought the world was made of earth, air, fire and water - the original four elements.. the idea was refined through time because of the work of alchemist who sought a way to transmute lead into gold.. gradually these alchemists recognized materials that could be broken down no further, and the list of four elements was scrapped.. at the beginning of the 1800s, the consensus scientific opinion was that the chemical compounds found inside living organisms was simply too complex to be made in the laboratory, or "in vitro" (in a glass container).
such chemicals could only be made "in vivo" (in something alive) because it required the intervention of the so-called "vital force.
" these special compounds were called "organic" because they came from organisms.
The relationship between religion and science can be even more simply stated: science describes reality while religions describe fantasy.
The more we learn, the less evidience we have to support the religionists' point of view.
Man is master of the universe and god is a dream.

wiki answers has the following answer.
only if the blood has been broken down into smaller parts that we call fractions.. firstly the 'faithful and discreet' slave are the 10 or so men in brooklyn that make up our organization's governing body.
these men, the 'faithful and discreet slave' class, tell us not to give or receive whole blood or four main parts of blood, based on their understanding of acts 15 and therefore we are obeying jesus' direct commands as explained in the following quote,.
"fractions of porneia" - genius!

Also worth mentioning is that the blood would come from an unbeliiever, since JWs do not contribute blood, and don't allow a person to use their own blood.
seems to me that, despite the fact that the content of the wts literatrash is crap, i've never seen a typo or grammatical error in the lit.
anybody ever noticed this or ever found instances of errors?
and, if there are no errors, how do they manage that?
I disagree with anyone who claims the WT pubs contain no errrors.
If you run watchtower publications - especially older ones - through a spell-checker, you will be surprised at the number of misspellings and double word, e.g., "the the" that occur. The thing is that few people have the opportunity to do that. When we read a page with erros in it, many times our mind compensates for the error unless it is glaring.
Not so with text "read" by a machine. With the proliferation of digital libraries of WT publications (both official and unofficial) , you can check this for yourself.
They're not as perfect as they'd have you believe they are.
