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.

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.

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. Then the twins grow to old age.
If a baby is born between the first twin dying and the second twin dying, that baby is not considered to be of the same generation as the first twin, only the second twin. That's just stupid.Let's take the example that Splane used, Joseph and his brothers. These are the same generation as each other.
Joseph has an older brother. They grow old.
If a baby is born after Joseph dies, but before the older brother dies, the baby is said to be of the same generation as the older brother, but not the same generation as Joseph.This is a nonsense. The baby's life overlaps with an older person than Joseph so how could this NOT be Joseph's generation too?
What Splane is doing is trying to obscure the distinction between a generation and contemporaries.
You can be of the same generation even if you are not contemporaries.A child dies at the age of 8.
Another child is born the day after the first one dies.
They are not contemporaries but they are the same generation.
Splanes explanation above would have us believe they are not the same generation.My brother is 50 years old. I am 40 years old.
If I die tomorrow and my nephew is born next week, my nephew is in the same generation as my brother, but not the same generation as me because our lives do not overlap, yet my life was within my older brothers generation.Sorry GB, you need to try harder to explain the unexplainable because after years of effort and word twisting, it STILL does not make any sense.

Suicide Prevention Counseling
by MrCellophane inin the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.
i realize much has changed since then.
can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

In the elders training video, two elders tell her to repeat out loud "I am an integrity keeper" three times.
This voodoo obviously works because she then happily went to the kitchen to get drinks for the elders.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015): Serving Single - Do not use JW dating sites!
by Designer Stubble inaround the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.
at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".
guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.

the instructor first laid the ground work for a guilt trip.
he read this scripture;.

Let's start with that first verse - Lev 5:1.
In the RNWT it reads differently to more accurately reflect the true meaning:(Leviticus 5:1) “If someone sins because he has heard a public call to testify and he is a witness or has seen or learned about it and he does not report it, then he will answer for his error."
So this verse has nothing to do with reporting wrongdoing to the elders - he misrepresented the Bible when he said this. This verse is to do with a judicial case when witnesses are called for. If you know something then you must appear in that hearing.Then the next verse he uses, Deut 19:21.
Jesus referenced this when he said (Matthew 5:38, 39) "You heard that it was said: ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ However, I say to you: Do not resist the one who is wicked, but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other also to him."
So the harsh Mosaic law was replaced by Jesus law of mercy and forgiveness.
Seems this elder doesn't trust Jesus enough to obey his laws instead of the inferior Mosaic laws.Like most high up elders (instructors) they prefer to come up with their own brand of religious cruelty to treat the flock harshly. They are all invariably detached from human compassion and live to lord it over others.
Elders who still live by the old law reject Christ.
(Colossians 2:13, 14) He kindly forgave us all our trespasses and erased the handwritten document that consisted of decrees and was in opposition to us. He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake. -

Was this the item?
*** w83 1/15 pp. 24-25 par. 7 Armed for the Fight Against Wicked Spirits ***The experience of a Christian elder in Germany, who also happens to be wealthy, is noteworthy. A Christian brother, knowing something about his financial status, asked him why he drove a Volkswagen (a less expensive car) and lived in a modest apartment. Becoming very serious, he answered: ‘Because if I drove a Mercedes Benz (a luxury car) and lived in an ostentatious manner, it could have a damaging effect on the spirituality of my Christian brothers and sisters.’ How different that attitude is from the world’s! To make a “showy display of one’s means of life” is the way of the world. (1 John 2:16) According to the world, the measure of success is the amount of money and material possessions a person has. But may that never be so in the Christian organization! We need to be armed so that none of this type of satanic thinking infiltrates our own thinking and that of the Christian congregation. -

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again
by Designer Stubble inguess 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.

I wonder if they would look down on a non-generation anointed, much like a third generation witness might look down on a first generation witness.
It's all about heirarchy.

smiddy 2 years ago I posted a thread listing 3 Bible accounts
Is this the one you were thinking of?
notsurewheretogo Mark Sanderson is 50...
Sanderson was baptised at the age of 9 or 10 in Feb 1975. I guess he believed the end was imminent.
As such he overlaps Franz quite easily, so is part of the same 'Generation' as Franz and Russell by way of being an overlapper.
