Lmfao!
i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.
thanks..

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.

Huh? That is not official doctrine, they have FDS all over the world but are represented by the GB and only the GB distribute the "food" but the GB are not the only FDS according to their doctrines.

i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
As has happened with all previous failed JW predictions, once WT scrubs all talk about 1914, the "sheep" will simply refer to the concept with labels such as:
"our publications used to teach"
"outdated understanding"
"an adjustment"
... and JWS will, for the most part, including the Scholar, accept it, forget it, and move on to chasing whatever other carrot the GB dangles in front of them.

Jeffro to Scholar: "Do you even listen to yourself?"
Narrator: *He did not listen to himself*
isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?
Slim: The JW numbers look “bad” … until you compare them with most other Christian groups which are in severe decline in the west. Compared with other Christian groups the growth of JWs bucks the trend of decline.
Remember that every JW is an active recruiter. They spend billions of hours collectively performing that recruiting task, and thus fruitless results inflict a bigger hit on JW morale that that of the common church pew seat occupier.
if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

Scholar, this is why you should listen to your buddies over at JWTalk and refrain from engaging with "apostates", for when you do, you inadvertently help reveal why WT theology is wrong.

Scholar: "Christians submitting to baptism would most likely endorse such teaching as it is well-founded biblically so i cannot envisage this becoming an issue."
Way to answer without answering. I wonder why.

Odds of hearing the term "cis-heteropatriarchy" that night?
i recently married my best friend of 32 years.
she is a life-long jw and once an active pioneer, i am a 'worldly' person through-and-through, always will be.
we married because it was the only way we could find a way of staying together while giving her a path back to her religion ultimately, which she does not want to (or cannot) let go of.
Hey OP,
I can tell you that when deciding whether to DF or not, Elders do sometimes consider factors such as "How long ago the sin took place" and "Has the sinner taken action to remediate the situation".
It seems in your case, the (supposed) sin took place years ago, and you have now married. If your wife can go in there and show one ounce of repentance, saying the right words, odds are they'll just privately reprove.
These are the right words for anyone not wanting to be DF'd in a Judicial Committee: "I have hurt Jehovah and sinned against him, I've learned my lesson and have taken steps to never repeat it". That's the magic phrase, do with it what you will.
PS, I can advise to lovingly and respectfully open up to your wife about how you feel regarding the religion. Ask her if she'd ever consider listening to counter-arguments to the religion's beliefs.
Good luck
