Well I thought it was a simple question that would get a simple yes or no answer. In one way I guess it's a relief to know I'm not the only one who hasn't worked this out yet even though we've had hundreds of posts about it.

Yes I know what the teaching is for Fink but I want to get a handle on what the JWs themselves call it. Is it a derogatory term we use or do they use it themselves? Could I say it to my JW sister or brother if, by some miracle, they ask me one day why I don't come back and actually listen to the answer?
I'd also like to try it at a cart/ trolley, there are usually two in my town every Saturday.

Well careful literally it's a meaningless sentence. In terms of the cult I think it means don't leave the 'truth' the paradise is coming soon!

JW-org-Facts-resources is an interesting Facebook page that I've started to follow. If Nathan's link doesn't work for you which it didn't for me just search the words I've used above and it comes up easily.
Nathan seems genuine and many of his posts are very good especially the picture memes.
I honestly don't think he intends to be sensationalist, he just comes across as a little intense, possibly because of the way his elderly mother has been treated by the cult.

Skin thanks.
So if I said to a relative or a JW at a cart in my town, the problem I have with your teachings now is overlapping generations would they just see it as an apostate phrase?
Seeing as their whole body of teachings that they even preached publicly for 80 years hung on the slim thread of the paradise coming in one generation from WWI, I would like to be able to use it in some way.

Thank you so much Lets Think! I was just thinking about that quote from Plato but I couldn't remember how to find it. From the Republic isn't it? The more things change the more they stay the same eh?

Did they say that road to nowhere? I'm not surprised! My JW sister hasn't had a working TV for over thirty years, I don't know if she looks at news online. Ignorance is bliss.
