walking slowly down the halls in bedroom slippers shuffling his feet. He's gone now. magnum:
The generation was supposed to go out with a bang, the second big one, but is going out with a whimper, not even an axe like rev 20 has it.

241Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

In the last 2 wt studies, the GB has repudiated what they taught about the first 4 years of that generation; the anointed one, remember?
Prologos above is wrong, according to the GB at least, : it will not be an endless generation, the anointed will end before the end.
The "millions will never die" of 1918, the endless generation (non anointed) , is almost gone, unless the GB starts overlapping them too.
talking snakes were a short-lived phenomenon too.

WT Flip-Flops on Jesus Inspection Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?
by Alfred inthis is utterly ridiculous.... .
the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.
it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

Inspected in 1918, failed, disciplined , went to prison,
inspected for sincerity, 1919, approved, became F&DS. it could not have been content: "Millions now living will never---"

Jesus will need help from the current anointed male virgins to grasp the concept of overlapping group generations that ends before the end.

New light in this weeks WT?
by Indian Larry inanybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?
for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.
in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

Sounds to me like they are laying the groundwork for some future yet-to-be-announced doctrinal change
They are repudiating the intricacies of the past understandings, but still cling to the timelines. They absolutely lost it.? they can't lose it, they never had it.

Par. 14 mentioned that "--in 1919 a faithful and discreet slave was appointed--" not The Faithful and Discreet Slave-- ?? why not the specific, unique capitialized 1919 wt version? and :
--(Math 24:45)-- I thought Math, 24 had a primary fulfillment in the first century, so who was the F&DS in the first century, the Apostles? Paul? providing spiritual food, scriptures? so, there was an appointment in the first century, not just in 1919 as wt now claims. --- all of course based on that talking snake.

The big elephant in the room is : "babylon dg= the empire of false religion" The wt mag/study talked about the churches, but how about the mosques.? The religion that was supposed to have fallen, but felled the towers in man hattan instead, right in front of wt,s windows?
If this study lays the basis for the new wt claim to fame, shame.
from the last paragraphs. The brothers needed correction, so it was not by baylon, but railroaded *** in the courts. so off to Atlanta GA pen., for resisting the war effort. being punished for the only thing that they conceivable got right. correction please.
*** In the french wt translation in the past, They were sent by "railroad" to Atlanta, not railroaded in court. ha ha.

The goal in all this 1918/1919 change?
by careful inas some have recently posted here, there does seem to be a shift going on in their self-interpretation(s) of what happened in 1918 and 1919. if we can look past all the details that emphasize the poor thinking and poor wording (or contradictions/just plain craziness/insignificance) of their message, something bigger seems to be afoot.
they appear to be attempting to redefine the meanings for some "prophetic" scriptures in light of themselves.
1. they are trying to somehow fill the void they have themselves created from their rejecting freddie franz's (ff) type–anti-type postulations.

By treating the refining of understandings as work in progress, WT creates the aura of a special people, the GOD [ go--doctrine] , and the initiated courtisanes, via the wt study. Those that can not understand , do not care, the average JW, are comfi too, in supporting it. great parody, leaked.

IL: "the Bible Students were first taken into captivity to Babylon the Great because they needed correction and discipline.
The new light from last week's wt is that they were not taken into captivity in "babylon" but by the superior, secular authorities. Tying it to the preaching work is just to scare the present day jws to "not give up"
