  If they go bankrupt, so what?

  by maksutov in

  it seems likely that the watchtower is worried about its finances, given the downsizing, property schemes, and money-grabs we have been seeing over the last few years.

  perhaps they suffered badly from the financial crisis.

  for sure, there will be more expenses to come from child abuse payouts.

  Why bother creating all the other galaxies?

  i'm still reading and researching the bible.

  a thought occurred to me... the universe is so huge and full yet most of it cannot be seen by the naked human eye.. while jw's could claim that god created the stars to look pretty/ for navigation... what about the rest that cannot be seen?

  the huge never ending mass of universe that the bronze age writers of the bible had no idea about?.

  I thought most dubs believed that once Jehoover sorts out the almighty dick-measuring contest between him and Satan as to who should rule the universe that once earth has been sorted humans will then populate every planet in every galaxy.

  Hell of a job eh?

  The Greatest Paradox

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.

  like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.

  that was the reason we were at their door.

  Indeed like people saying there is a god and that humans have only been the planet 6,000 years and the bible is the word of God...incredible what people believe isn't it?

  They fit in about 200,000 years ago so I read...

  Clearly Satan at it AGAIN by planting misleading evidence, will he ever learn it won't detract from the obvious truth that humans have only been on this planet for 6,000 years?

  TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  guess 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.

  More likely, it's a bit of revisionist history. Who knows when Sanderson started partaking! It doesn't matter. It's all a delusion.

  "So Markie boy, when did you start partaking?"

  "Well Mr Morris when I was 35"

  "Ah well but deep down you must have known you were anointed, when was that?"

  "In 1991 sir".

  "BINGO"

  Could "this generation" inspire a new "1975 debacle"?

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i think that it's possible that they're getting ready to issue a new end time date insinuation like they did with 1975. now i know what some of you are probably thinking: why would they be so stupid as to repeat such a mistake, knowing what happened in 1975?

  well here're two reasons why i think they could do it:.

  first, it's important to remember that they are deluded.

  I don't think so because the overlapping generation explanation buys them 30 years since Mark Sanderson is part of the second group that overlaps the first group and he is only 50...he lives to 80 and that means the Big A could still be 30 years away and the GB prove themselves correct.

  So I think the current explanation is perfect in the minds of the GB as it makes it sound like it is very soon whilst in fact it could be 30 years away...I think the GB want that explanation so they can forget about the "generation" explanation and move onto other areas like 1914, 1440,000 etc.

  IF he claimed to be anointed before Franz died, THEN you would be right.
  Do you know this for a certainty?
  In the '80s and '90s it would have been very unusual for a 20-something punkass JW to claim to be anointed.
  It is possible, just extremely unlikely. As far as I can tell, the GB is not providing any details one way or the other. They don't really like to give anything that resembles evidence, do they?
  By the way, let's get one thing straight: NO ONE IS ANOINTED BY HOLY SPIRIT. That notion is a myth.

  Indeed I concur...I'm just highlighting the current GB can in fact extend when the Big A comes for another 30 years if they wanted to.

  Valid point, why are we trying to understand a cult that is trying to justify itself with batshit crazy logic...

  New light from GB member David Splane!

  by Island Man in

  in the latest jw broadcast splane is quoted as saying:.

  "suppose there was a man who died 10 minutes before joseph was born.

  would he be part of joseph's generation?

  I think you are nitpicking his words here...he obviously means "live" in the sense of living an actual life by growing up and being an adult etc rather than just being alive...

  Thanks Splash, just confused as to why Oubliette says Mark Sanderson is most likely not part of the second group then. I believe the GB think he is and thus the end can be postponed on the current understanding for at least 30 years.

  Mark Sanderson is 50...thus born in 1965...if he was anointed at 21 then that is 1986 well before 1992 and therefore he IS part of the second group of anointed and thus the Big A can come near the end of his life thus if he lives the standard 80 years then theoretically the end can be 30 years away.

  Why are folks saying on here he is NOT part of the second group, he easily can be. Unless we know when he started to partake?
