just wondering what would happen if a brother saying a prayer in a meeting did it in the name of michael the archangel instead of closing the prayer with "jesus christ".
since jw's believe michael is jesus would he be counseled?
what if a brother used the name michael the archangel in their public talks instead of jesus?
The organization absolutely could do something to a brother who prays that way.
(1) praying on the “name” of Michael it’s not in line with the Bible
(2) The organization is under no obligation to let him pray (in other words, you have no “right” to remain a JW or to offer prayers).
That basically ends it.

If fact, if your dad is a sergeant in a police force, when he’s at home, try calling him Sergeant all day every day and then tell him that he has to keep his mouth shut and not to complain about it because you are “technically right“.

You get the point. He is called Sergeant when he is in his role of sergeant. He is called dad when he is in his role as a father.
But keep ignoring common sense

If your dad is a sergeant of a police force, you don’t call him “sergeant” when he’s off work at home do you? You call him dad at home. You address him “sergeant” at work.
In fact, he wouldn’t want you to Calling him Sergeant at home. Same thing with Jesus and Michael.

It wouldn’t be accurate jw teaching to say Michael in a prayer. Jesus Christ is used to recognize his role as Ransomer and redeemer. He’s not such as Michael in heaven, as he is a warrior in that role, not a Ransomer.
The “explanation” you offered is worse than the post itself
don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.
the ms who's been given the task is a company man.
no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

And WT is not redefining a word. What they’ve done is date “this generation” from 1914 to at least 1992, in theory.
Car manufacturers do that all the time. They’ll place a fourth generation car, for example, between 1990-1995 and any car built in that time period is a fourth gen car.
It can lasts an long as their is at least 1 fourth gen car being driven. Once the last one is off the road, it can be said to be gone.
The denial of simple facts and logic here is astounding!

But your parents and your parent’s siblings are of the same generation, and are contemporaries, hence my point.

If WT didn’t each any of of this, this would be no problem for you all to accept.

Like I just said, generations lasts when people outlive other members of that generation.
Actually, the words “overlapping” and “contemporaries” are not necessary to establish the fact that generations lasts despite the death of the initial members.
This is fairly easy stuff. Factual stuff to boot.
