  Length of a Generation? Ask a governing agency or member of governing board

  by kepler in

  in the saturday/sunday wall street journal for the weekend of april 9-10, 2016, in the us news section there was an article titled, "housing bust lingers for generation x.".

  something clicked in my mind when i read.

  "the data show an enormous swing in the fortunes of people born between 1965 and 1984, the group defined by the harvard joint center for housing studies as 'generation x'".. hmmm....generation did you say?

  How long is a generation, you ask?
  Short Answer: 25 years, but a generation ago it was 20 years.
  Long answer: It depends on what you mean by generation.

  
  

  A Biological Generation
  …is simply the unscaled transition from one parent to one offspring. In humans, the Biological generation does not have a standard length but there are limits. So you are in one generation, your mother the previous, your child the next one after you, etc. regardless of when any of you were born. As long as your Uncle Willard does not marry your Sister Betty Jean, this is not complicated; This is what people often mean when they use the term “generation” but not what they mean when they ask the question “how long is a generation.”

  NO NO NO!! Its his life - elders have no rights to meddle into someone else's life.

  If he is addicted and in trouble, try and get him help OUTSIDE the congregation which will do NOTHING to help.

  Thanks for posting this!

  The logic elders use to protect the policies are just disgusting and sad.

  "It's the demons..."

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing that really frustrates me inside is how quite a few jw's (especially my family) actually believe that demons like to inhabit second hand vases, or clothes etc.

  my sister and mother are so bad with this that they wont even talk about it - because even talking about it "brings demons into your home".

  so any attempt to show them that it's unscriptural is shut off with, sometimes them literally going "lalalalalalala im not listening".. i used to believe it myself (why wouldn't i?, i was told by my mother and father it was fact).. what i'd like to point out to anyone that would let me debunk it is this:.

  It's all part of the idea that its Fun to believe in things like that, just like people want to believe in UFOs and Bigfoot.

  Not because their is even a shred of evidence, but because if fills other needs.

  I like this part in 003

  JEHOVAH’S ORGANIZATION IS DYNAMIC (8 min.)
  

  What evidence is there that Jehovah also directs the earthly part of his organization?
  Organizational refinements [Read Isaiah 60:17] (kr 120-125 ̊11-18)
  Numerical growth [Read Isaiah 60:22] (kr 96-97; statistics from the latest Yearbook)

  Of course if you don't show the stats from the previous years the NUMBERS MEAN NOTHING!

  Star Trek: TSG - Careful what you watch

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. humour

  dear brothers and sisters,.

  it has come to our attention that many of you enjoy watching star trek.

  while there is nothing wrong with a modest amount of entertainment in our lives we need to make sure the shows we are bringing into our households meet god's standards.

  We had a CO that spent 3 years reminding everyone at the congregation and at assemblies how shows like Star Trek distort the beautiful form god created man in and how they promote evolution.

  Lame and werid sample presentations at the meeting

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they used to let bro's and sis's do the sample presentation and give them the leeway to put it in their own words thereby making it more natural.

  not so anymore!

  these days the sample presentations are beamed from mother website.. they seem to have been written by someone who has no experience of how people talk in real life.

  From a practically point of view - they are TOTALY worthless. They would help in no way make someone an effective teacher, in fact they do the opposite.

  Can you imaging this type of thing being used in any other setting?

  Imaging getting sales training like this, or being taught like this in a communications college course?
  
  It is a total joke.

  Unless you are just looking to create zombies.

  OMG Damage control again - but they don't get that the people who would question the GB already Heard Herd say that backwards upside-down crap!

  AGAIN From 1984

  The chocolate ration in 1983 was 30 grams per week. In the year 1984, the chocolate ration went up to 25 grams per week. Winston himself is charged with the task of re-writing history to make this little feat possible.
