"Christianity is not about working oneself up into a frenzy in order to obey a list of dos and don'ts. Rather it is an integrated lifestyle that allows God to work through the believer so that they actually "prefer" to make the choices they should."
~ Gary Habermas

What do you think of the above statement John?
my twin brother.
i seldom mention my twin brother.. for good reasons, of course.. he has only lived ghost-like inside my mind due to a comment made to me by a declaration from my grandfather.. we were in his car and he turned to me non-sequitur and declared with no pretext: "you know you have a twin brother, don't you?".
at that point, we had arrived at school and i had to exit my grandfather's car.
Maybe ease back on the medication Terry?
(just kidding)
at the 2021 annual meeting, samuel herd revealed new light and claimed the anointed will all have passed away before armageddon.
it has since been revealed that while they will die before armageddon, there will be some anointed still around that will witness the start of the great tribulation.. so the question is, how many years until the existing members of the governing body have passed away?.
im not a doctor, but based on their age and various stages of obesity, im thinking 10- 15 years- give or take, sounds about right.. with that in mind, the great tribulation could be announced any day.. the new understanding has now freed the org from the burden of having to identify a particular generation in relation to the date of armageddon.
Here's what new light does to the human mind:
Every time they trot out "new light", a few more people lose faith in the WT foretelling scam. A 100% failure rate helps as well.

The overlapping generations understanding is now irrelevant. The anointed dying BEFORE armageddon changes everything.
I see what you are saying. Problem is that the numbers of annointed keeps growing every year.
this can be confusing because the wts has adjusted from not having a clergy class to not having a "paid" clergy class.. "a congregation of brothers precludes having a proud clergy class that honors itself with high-sounding titles and elevates itself above a laity" wt 6/1/2001 p. 12, pp 11. still same idea in 2021 wt october, p. 20, pp.
7, but 2022 in the wt publication, frequently asked questions about jehovah’s witnesses, page 13, the wts inserts "paid" in front of "clergy perhaps to shore up their current statement in secular courts they have clergy, just not paid) "following the model of first-century christianity, jehovah’s witnesses have no clergy-laity division.
all baptized witnesses are ordained ministers and share in the preaching and teaching work.
They want it both ways. They want to be clergy when protecting themselves from the courts. But, when making their sales pitch to the gullible, they claim to have not have a clergy class. The idea of not having a clergy appeals to the disgruntled, the misfits and disenfranchised IMO. They make it seem like a safe place to grind your axe. (no oppressive authority... hehehe)
BTTT - Sometimes yes, sometimes no. They just lie when it suits them.

Vidqun,
Thank you for that link. The data they have collected is pretty damning. The govt mailed out millions of blank ballots.
The dems motto is "never let a crisis go to waste". And, they certainly hit the jackpot with corvid providing the excuse they needed for the mail-in ballot scam.
some sensible advice presented in a rational way.
check out the channel.. a couple of the videos i've watched so far:.

For me, the trick has been to move on and try to help where I can. Try not to be consumed at either extreme is probably best advice.. But, we have too much inside information to do nothing. The Wt. is a massive trap that captures some of the most vulnerable among us.

A little too laisse faire for me. WT must fall. That's we say tuned.
youtube's 'xjw curious,' pete corbeil, reads proselytizing letter written by a pimo jw who simply shares current watchtower teachings like no other jw.

(114) shocking letter reveals jehovah's witnesses true beliefs!
I have shown the letter to numerous PIMI JWs, including several elders, and they all acknowledged that the letter accurately presents current Watchtower teachings.
Sure, they all have the inside scoop. But, outsiders had more trouble trying to figure out what to make of it. It was sent to a great many churches.
