Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation

by Splash in

at around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".

this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.

obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

Pubsinger

Totally stupid explanation. My mother and I are 20 years different in age. But she's one generation and I am another.

It's that simple.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

Pubsinger

So 1992 is Fred W Franz' death.... What exactly is the significance of that?

Born in. And I am indeed a musician and singer and have worked semi-pro since 1990

How do you get your percentages? Or are you just estimating them from the coloured bar charts?

My Book, 'Gifts in Men', by Patricia F.Sadio

by GiftsinMen in

another member on here announced the publication of my new book "gifts in men, a heavier responsibility" a couple of months ago and some of you asked who i was as to my authenticity and motives.

i have had an amazing reaction to my book even from jws who know me and my story but were still shocked at the details.

i was not raised a jw, not disfellowshipped nor disassociated and loved being a regular pioneer, serving in uk and ireland.

Pubsinger

Well in fairness I'd say people are cautious as not everyone here is as they appear. Much like life in general 😉

It's a bit to do with forum history. New posters have in the past solicited for money, or told all sorts of wild stories (not in book form tho lol!) One even invented an imaginary partner who then got 'terminally ill' causing much upset.

So many are cautious about new posters 😊

Ray Franz was an Idiot

by vinman in

ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

in search of christian freedom?

Pubsinger

Well if we accept what Vinman has subsequently said, that he was being sarcastic and making a point albeit not very clearly, I think his point stands.

To call an atheist 'deluded' would be an attack on the person not on his thoughts, position or belief.

Call a person of faith deluded and it is 'acceptable'. As Island Man's post demonstrates.

I'm just making a point too. Possibly the same one as Vinman lol

Well if you look at the top of this page of the thread you will see a post by Island Man in support of Ray Franz but it his first sentence he calls him a 'deluded theist'!!

Is that a term of endearment?!

I agree with Vinman. Although I too didn't realise the point he was trying to make either until I read the whole thread with his added comments.

So stop having a go and read before you post. He doesn't think Ray Franz was an idiot or a moron.
