The word “overlapping” or “contempory” is a mere descriptior.
The Millenial generation will still be alive well after us older original millennials are dead.
Dont get hung up on words. Generations lasts because people outlive people.

The book burning has started
by pale.emperor indon'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.

Lol when in doubt, argue semantics.
its funny because ex-jws have always argue that it’s “complicated” so it must be false.
now I’ve uncomplicated it and enter debating definitions of words and interpretations.
Of course, I saw this coming...

As it applies to our beliefs, yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that generations overlap, or we’d have no human race.

lol an “overlapping” generation is fact.
If your parents generation began in 1960, anyone born during their lifetime is their contemporary (overlap), and part of their generation. Anyone born after your last parent dies is not their contemporary (overlap), and not a part of their generation. A contemporary can carry on that generation for 100 additional years before it totally dies out.
Easy.

Lol you missed my point. It’s easier to hide all pre-1992 literature by forcing people to come to the hall to research instead of giving them searchable media they can read at any time they want, in the privacy and comfort of their own home.
Thats my point.
Oh and additionally, most people baptized anytime in the last 60 years have a physical Librarry in their homes. Surely they would be instructed to burn/sell those of the goal was to “hide” something.
Delusion and lack of critical thinking is strong here.

Every member has a copy of WT Library, with literature dating back to 1950.
You all sound ridiculous.

PORTUGAL: Filed a petition to the parliament to erase the legal entity of the Jehovah's Witness
by EdenOne inbased on legal arguments that revolve around violations of several articles of the portuguese constitution, and of the law of religious freedom, a petition to the portuguese parliament has been set in motion to extinguish the legal entity that represents the jehovah's witness in portugal and remove this community from the national register of recognized religions protected by law.
the petition does not seek to ban the jehovah's witness as a whole in the country.
the petition denounces the institutional policy of shunning former members as a violation of basic human rights and psychological torture, and asks the portuguese legislators and judicial authorities to take action to stop this abuse, and suspend legal recognition to the branch office entity until the policies of shunning are changed.

Lol Diog, 2016 convention video showed parents being instructed to shun their daughter and they did so for 15 years. Video uploaded to website as well, and freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Even the public was invited and those who decided to come saw that video.
The “hiding beliefs” angle fails and borders on outright lying.

The question I have is how do you go about proving “coercion”? Whether one agrees with jws or not really is not the question, because jws do inform all potential members of their beliefs. In fact, it takes maybe a year or more to get baptized — that’s plenty of time to know what’s involved, to think about it, and to accept/reject their beliefs. I’d argue that the sheer amount of people who don’t get baptized though raises by JW parents dismantles that argument. Pew polls have showed that 66 percent of people raised as JW’s leave the faith as adults.
That’s a far to low retention rate to even remotely suggest coercion.
But the again, this petition really is nothing more than a way to drum up negative media publicity, as usual. There is no real attempt here enforce laws.
