14July Broadcast Scriptural Error- FDS/Helper Fail.
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inhe has inadvertently moved the timing of the beginning of the last days to the future.
this kind of scriptural error is the direct result of superficial bible reading.
according to luke 21, first comes the persecution then the wars, earthquakes, food shortages, fearful sights etc.

They still haven't rescinded the two witness rule though.
They still threaten the victims with disfellowshipping if there's no other evidence.
They still make minors relive every excruciating and damaging detail before a bunch of untrained men, and often the abuser.
They still don't warn parents when a paedophile enters the congregation.
They still appoint known abusers to positions of trust.
They still force victims through the courts and try to discredit them or make them quit legal proceedings because of lack of funds or mental anguish.
They still buy off abuse victims rather than openly admit their wrongdoing.
They still do not have counselling services for those affected by abuse.
Until these things change, Tony Morris, you have not 'taken a decisive stand against such behaviour', you have merely given lip service to it.
THAT is despicable!

If the number of JWs leaving the WT increases, the remaining children getting baptised will likely produce a higher %ge, if that makes any sense! -

Homeless Man Plays Piano Beautifully (Sarasota, FL) (ORIGINAL)" Is it wrong to donate money to him? Would the Watchtower help out?
by The1975Blues inmitch jensen 13 minutes ago.
jehovah's witnesses have learned by the mistakes of all the christian churches who wasted valuable money by spending it on "food banks", "woman's shelters", "orphanages" and "homeless shelters feeding the poor and hungry kids".
the current may 2015 "awake" magazine deals with the only way to help the homeless people.

173 out of 30,000 is 0.6%.
Typical figures as we're seeing in other places.

According to William Malenfant the serpent in the garden was a "she".
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inon jw broadcasting malenfant's latest video, "do not be misled by the wicked" states (@ 4:30) "did it (the serpent) take a bite of the forbidden fruit and because of that was she allowed to gain this ability to speak?".
where does malenfant get the idea that the serpent in the garden was female?.
interesting, because malenfant, like the governing body, adds to scripture what is not there.

@freemindfade We've had from the platform that the Stonehenge stones were put there by the nephilim, and that the great tribulation may have already started.
The meetings are worth going to just for the Ripley's Believe It Or Not content.

Does it matter if no one knows his original name?
It's not as if he doesn't have a name, its just not his original one.
People change their names all the time if they don't like what they were given, maybe Satan did the same.
At the end of the day, Satan has a name - Satan.
If we're going to get picky we could also say that God has hidden his own name, since no one knows how to pronounce it. It doesn't matter though because He's been given a name.
What's the big deal?

For such a leaky belief system they need constant reassurance, not another hole to patch up.
When it's impossible to 'give an answer', the only course left is to pretend you were never asked a question in the first place.

Village Idiot The thing I don't understand about the "overlapping generation" teaching is why there can't be more than just two "generations".
Actually, by their own specific definition, there could be three overlapping generations.
The first group saw 1914, but those who overlap constitute the other group.
The WT do not define that the overlap is later than the 1914 generation, since there was also a generation who overlapped before 1914 and include CTR, George Storrs and Henry Grew.
For legalistic wordsmiths like the WT, I would expect better.
