Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...
by Calebs Airplane inwithin the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.
however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.
he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just read an old WT quote and it made me think of this topic.
Recently G Jackson said "That would be presumptuous of us", implying that they don't consider themselves to be God's sole channel of communication.
That does not tally with the WT which stated:
It's good to keep all these thoughts in one place for future reference!
*** w66 1/15 p. 44 par. 10 The Value of Right Association Through Congregational Meetings ***
Never has God had more than one channel of communication at one time. -

It's going to be very strange to start with, but in the long term you've done an amazing thing.
If you ever wonder whether you did the right thing or not, just read some of the posts on here about their crazy, forever changing rules and teachings, and the way they treat people.
Feel sorry for those still in, there's none so blind who will not see.

Issue number 2 has only one thing to defend it, the God's Love book from 2009 where it says
"In rare instances, one Christian might commit a serious crime against another--such as rape, assault, murder, or major theft. In such cases, it would not be unchristian to report the matter to the authorities, even though doing so might result in a court case or a criminal trial."It's so rare, in fact, that it has never happened in 65 years.
The WT know how to print two sides to every story and cherry pick which reference best suits them when needed.
Of course they never mentioned:
*** w04 7/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***
Paul reprimands Christians for going to court “before unbelievers.” (1 Corinthians 6:6)*** w01 8/15 p. 23 par. 13 Have Faith Like That of Abraham! ***
*** w96 3/15 p. 15 par. 4 Meeting the Challenge of Loyalty ***
Abram’s example shows that it is better to suffer financial loss than to bring reproach upon Jehovah’s name or to damage the peace of the Christian congregation.
For example, two Christians once got into such difficulty with each other that they improperly resorted to a worldly law court. The judge asked, ‘Are both of you Jehovah’s Witnesses?’ Evidently he could not understand what they were doing in court. What a reproach that was! ... Certainly, the course of loyalty to Jehovah God is to suffer personal loss rather than bring reproach upon Jehovah and his organization.*** w91 10/1 p. 10 par. 7 Trust in Jehovah’s Saving Arm ***
Suppose you were associated with the first-century Corinth congregation. At one time, factions threatened its unity, and toleration of immorality endangered its spirit. Believers took one another to worldly courts, and some wrangled over various matters*** w78 9/15 p. 13 par. 8 What Does Jehovah Require of You? ***
Also, [elders] may be called on to arrive at decisions concerning fellow believers who commit serious sins. (1 Cor. 6:1-6;*** g79 3/8 p. 12 Living with Law—Now and Forever ***
But for handling most differences between Christians, men well grounded in Biblical principles are available in the congregations. They are even now helping many to resolve such matters without the public notice and consequent reproach of court action. In some cases Christian love may even move one to “suffer injury” rather than harm the good name of the congregation before those outside. -

Not the most wealthy of congregations.
I don't think the WT will bother looking for buyers.Morpheus respectfully, i wasnt soliciting comments on the individuals
Sorry about that, I meant to imply that she's the lone, odd female in the congregation, nothing about her appearance. It's bad enough being a female in the organisation, but being the only single one for miles is a life sentence!

Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation
by Splash inat 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.

Speaking of the futility of ones life, Solomon said in Ecc 1:4 ".A generation is going, and a generation is coming, But the earth remains forever."
According to the WT, a generation is going, an overlapping generation is going, and a generation is coming.
Somewhere deep under the earth Solomon has raised his dusty, boney hand and face palmed a crumbling skull.

OTWO They like using Freddy Franz in their example because he was "of age" in 1914 and lived until 1992
They speak about Freddy Franz as if he, on his own, constitutes a generation.
When his generation were all dead and gone and Freddy was the lone survivor, it's true to say that he was the last of his generation. It is not true to say that he defined the duration of a generation.
And don't forget, just like Russell's 'pyramid inches', the generation the WT talks about is an 'anointed generation'. This gives them the latitude to define it however they like because there's no such thing, it's something they themselves have made up.

At eight minutes into the same video Splane reassures us "But here's the point. In 1914, who were the only ones who saw these various aspects of the sign and drew the right conclusion, that something invisible was occurring? Only the anointed."
Everyone on this board knows this is a lie.
NONE of the anointed in 1914 drew the right conclusion. They all drew the WRONG conclusion about 1914.
The anointed were not teaching that "something invisible was occurring" at all! How dare he lie so brazenly!If 'the point' that Splane endeavours to make is entirely fabricated, then 'the point' is they have resorted to a false tongue to try to explain the unexplainable.
The more the GB speak, the more they expose their true wolfish character.
