this is how you force good talent to be used for bad things.

So should the authorities just ignore it?
I was a sub. teacher for about a year. A kid in the 5th grade, about 11 years old brought a contraption with a timer and we all ignored it. About 30 minutes into the class the thing went off with a loud shrieking sound. It scared the hell out of everyone.
Anything can happen these days.
last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
I bet a healthy percentage (at least of the ones that have two brain cells to rub together are praising it because that's just what you do. In the back of their mind though, something just isn't right. People could be praising it now hoping that they'll figure it out, but once they realize that their inability to make sense of it isn't their fault, the story will start to change.
I agree 100 percent OEJ
I’m seeing this among my friend in my old hall, Give it another 5 years and I bet at least 25% of my old hall will wake up.

Not in my congregation. They are praising it
Sounds like the separating work the dubs teach is taking place in each congregation, Hey maybe that's the prophecy's fulfillment.

This Overlapping generation is crap, and I don’t believe it. “
I asked him; “What are you going to do”
He said; “Well what can I do? I still believe in a paradise earth. I don’t know anything anymore. All I know is this overlapping generation is a bunch of crap and I don’t believe it.
And he walked away.
the apostle paul stated at 2 timothy 3:16: all scripture is inspired of god.
the phrase inspired of god translates the compound greek word theopneustos, meaning, literally, god-breathed or breathed by god.
this is the only occurrence of this greek term in the scriptures.

Until this drastic field of polarizing opposites ceases to exist, Western society will care little about the actual facts.
That's just sad.

Many theologians speculate that the canon should be revisited,
Not in my lifetime.

Caleb, how long do you think it will take the Western world to realize that the Bible we have today is not a direct word for word unerring message from God? Another 100 years? I mean we are at a point in history where communication of ideas is so easy to disseminate.
Doug, love all your studies, great job.
movie stars travel to, or buy their own private beaches, they get invited to fun parties, and are able to buy not one, but several fast sport cars like jay leno.
they can buy their own planes and helicopters and fly them like harrison ford.
(how much fun would that be?

it's relative. Relative to the real world, they are zeroes and should be miserable. But in their own little world, they are at the top;
"In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Just ask Geoffrey Jackson if being one of the Governing Body members is really that big of a deal?
Is it just me or am I way off feeling sorry for that poor girl that married him and she has to see this face above her during knooky-knooky time.

Many love to walk the red carpet in their designer dresses and diamond necklaces which they rarely buy. They write books on romance, success, and biographies and they sell like hotcakes. They buy the best jewelry, go to all the sports games, Broadway shows, and eat at the finest restaurants in the world.
They can afford the biggest mansions on the market with a huge swimming pool, tennis court, and a theater room bigger than most average homes, And they can actually enjoy them.
And when they break the law, many times they get breaks that average people just don’t get. Even when they commit indiscretions, people tend to forgive them. (Think Tiger Woods)
On the other hand Governing Body members get room, and board but their travel is unlike other wealthy people. Their travel is for purposes of giving WT talks in certain cities---Boring----
The GB are under the constraints of their own stupid laws and visibly they have to abide by them or get disfellowshipped like Ray Franz. So no wild parties, they can’t buy their own sports car or planes. They can’t write any personal biographies and make money. They can’t use any of the billions of dollars to buy their own personal mansions. I’ve never heard of any of them attending a basketball, football, or soccer game.
If they commit an indiscretion like Tiger Woods and
the world finds out, (they are done, out into the street they go) None have any True friends, because all
their friends are conditional. Their cushy life is hanging on a very thin
thread. It’s almost like being the Kingpin in a prison.They run things in their little prison, but they are still prisoners.
Being a GB is really only one step, maybe two above a regular JW. They are trapped and slaves of their own “concept”
