Cofty: Your making the assumption that the GB is in charge.
There are intelligent lawyers and accountants at the helm of this religion, and atheist i might add, all of which know exactly what they are doing.
so i already made an introductory thread where i said hello and mentioned my feelings toward 2034 being the wts new end date.. we get the year 2034 from matt 24:37 & luke 17:26. the wt commented on the "days of noah" in a qfr article 2010 12/15.
where its stated: "it is logical, therefore, to conclude that genesis 6:3 expresses gods resolve to end the corrupt system of things on earth.
jehovah issued a judicial decree to do so in 120 years, though noah was not yet aware of that.

I think as the years role on, more and more people are going to have the 2034 brainwave, and because it has been addressed in the magazines, it will make it OK to speculate. Everyone speculates the s**t out of the Noah story now anyway.

There is some very clever people in charge of WTS, they don't need any input from us really.
2034 fits in nicely with the overlapping generation as well. It's about as far as you push it before you have to reevaluate.
They will hint highly at 2034, but i doubt they will ever actually specifically say the date. Then just blame the sheeple for getting over zealous.
edit - "the days of noah" damn!.
long story short - i need to go to bed!
i was in edinburgh today with my wife (football, coffee, walks, food, cinema) and i always try to take 10 minutes to have a chat with the jws on the trolley in the "big city".. i challenged an older guy who turned out to be an pioneer about the generation.
After 2034 comes and go's, then will be the time for a 1914 date change.
"whats that, destruction of Jerusalem happened in 587 and not 607? 1914 must be changed to 1934!!"
And this takes you to 2054 for a new end date.
1934 is a very convenient date:
Hitler becomes Fuhrer
USSR joins league of nations.
You can almost read the script: "World conditions have been deteriorating fast ever since satan got kicked out of heaven in 1934!"
this really got to me today at the wt study.. i am not ashamed to admit, i am part of that "generation".. you get one role of the dice in this life, you got to take what you can now, in order to have a good quality life later.. i agree, we need to help and show love to our fellow man.
but, not when this becomes the priority above our own needs, wants and aspirations.. welcome to "generation me" wt, this is my time.. peace out..

ok guys, this is long, so i am sorry, but i think it is important to publish.
this is a glimpse into a 4 page letter (love that song) from my uber elder uncle.
as some of you may know i got tired of being in an email chain and finally lost it and lashed out.
That Sh*t is Fu**ed up.
Seriously, your uncle is nuts.
It amazes me why people care SO MUCH about the Hebrew verses...That was apparently done away with?
Crazy.
people from dissimilar groups appear equally as happy.. is happiness a sign of spiritual blessings or rather minds manipulated by people or organizations?.
.
Personally, i was happy when i was blinded to TTATT. Life was good. I was happy thinking i Knew all the answers to all life's big questions.
Now I am awake to TTATT, i am still happy. I am happy knowing i had the mental capacity to wake myself up from this weird cult. And i'm happy knowing the world isn't such a bad place and i can achieve whatever i put my mind and effort to.
The phrase "JWs are the happiest people on earth" is a bit pathetic really. People are either prone to happiness, or are prone to sadness. EACH INDIVIDUAL makes that choice themselves.
I have met an equal amount of miserable JWs and happy JWs. Both Positive and negative.
I have known a few people before becoming JWs (when they were studying) and they were pretty miserable. After they got baptized they were still miserable. Basically, they are prone to negative feelings, and a sad, negative outlook.
Same has worked the other way.
It is the same with any en-devour in life, not just religion. Employment, education, wife/husband.
you have the opportunity to sit and discuss what's on your mind.. what would you tell them??.
my question, do you men have a heart, how do you sleep at nights??.
why do you think jehovah pick you to feed the sheep??.
I'd ask why they wear so much jewelry.
Showy display much?
I would quiz them on current "WT troof", and see how versed on the bible (and their own theology) they really are.
this is the fourth kingdumb song released since the annual meeting.
