  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  Prologos: think of a scripture about the term generation" and then he mentioned one about Joseph or something like that?---it was Exodus 1:6 " eventually Joseph died, and his brothers, and all that generation" The implication being that people of all ages were in Joseph's generation, but it was a dead generation of all ages, not continuous overlappers, the wt theory is been thoroughly debunked in previous threads.

  Indeed it has but I was merely pointing out the OP's point that they did actually use a scripture to try and prove their point...if we went to a dub and said "pfffft they never even used a scripture to try and prove it" the dub would respond with that they did and that we must just be bitter, mentally diseased apostates!

  My recollection of the broadcast was that he asked the audience "think of a scripture about the term generation" and then he mentioned one about Joseph or something like that?

  They def did mention a scripture though to back up their overlapping nonsense.

  Perhaps that was not this broadcast though?

  If I were to write out my experience it would be near word for word what you have just written.

  You are not alone, we have all been where you are. I've been out since 2012 and things only get better, much better!

  Has anybody watched Making A Murderer on Netflix ?

  by smiddy in

  i watched this 10 part series the other day and i was appalled at the investigation conducted by the police , especially the way they conducted their investigation with brendan vassey , his interrogation and obvious manipulation by the police officers , i couldn`t believe he was convicted , and sentenced to a jail term.. to any intelligent person with any sense of compassion could see brendan vassey was intellectually disadvantaged , yet these police officers exploited that failing of this boy .he should never have been convicted , his case should have been thrown out of court , the fact that he has been in jail over 10 years is a gross miscarriage of justice .. the conviction of steven avery seemed to me to be a set up also from what was presented on netflix ,.

  i am no fan of steven avery ,i think he is a bit of a hillbilly type , that has had no problem with cruelty to animals , which i abhor ,yet i do think he has been railroaded in this conviction ,while the real killer and rapist goes free .. what are your thoughts .

  There was also no explanation for why the woman's body was ever inside of her own car in the first place if the car stayed on that property and was simply moved from the crime scene to be hidden on the lot.

  Actually, it was not on the documentary but if you watch the videos of Brendan's confession on YouTube Brendan confessed they put the body in the trunk as they were going to dump it in a lake but then realized the body of water wasn't deep enough. Which is strange if they are both innocent...

  Yes I watched it, compelling viewing...a few pieces of info have come out and were missed by the documentary but in essence most agree both are innocent but ALL agree the case was mishandled to the point it was biased.

  The press conference when Kratz said "children should not listen to this" and gave a story of what happened with no proof defies belief and tainted everyone's view.

  What is interesting is Kratz was forced to resign after a sexting scandal and addicton to sex & prescribed drugs.

  I see Kathleen Zellner has picked up Steven's case, she is an expert in wrong convictions and has had 17 overturned. She says the testing they can do in 2016 is far better than what it was in 2005 and it was this testing in 2005 that got him out after 18 years when there was no testing in 1985.

  If they can find EDTA in the blood in the car then case is over and he is free...Brendan should be released now no matter what...

  For me, the way the brother and ex are with this seems well shifty to me...the ex and the brother know the Dassy's, they used to hang out together at school.

  Did you KNOW Ray and Cynthia or the legal copyright holder? Only a few maybe had limited contact.

  i have known all of them over the last 15 years, talked at length with them, and knew what their wishes were, the copyright holder and spouse spent even more time with them socially and helping them set up their arrangements for when ray and cynthia passed.

  i don't believe that anyone else on this board or others was a confidant.

  there is no need to prove it to anyone but the copyright office which is satisfied with this.

  Kim & Mike...Cedars...CoC farce...I've had enough of the exjw community...half the people are still warped from their b0rg experience and can't think straight.

  Even worse if my still-in family had doubts and went searching and found all this crap they would never leave as they would see this toxic exjw attitude...pathetic.

  What are the biggest holes in evolution?

  by shadow in

  how honest are the proponents of evolution?

  idk but curious to see what type of response there is on a topic like this or does their study only seek to confirm their preconceptions and ignore uncomfortable facts?

  The issue lies with the term "Evolution" itself...I've spoken to many a dub who is so confused as to how anyone can believe Evolution because they will say "But it is impossible for life to start from nothing".

  Thus, they mix up Abiogenesis and Evolution.

  Evidence for Evolution exists...whilst Abiogenesis, there is no proof, or none on the same level as Evolution.

  Even the WT gets confused at these terms as they say Evolution is false yet happily admit that species can adapt to the environment or other factors..they simply refuse to acknowledge cross-species evolution of course...

  Mike and Kim feel a certain way and act a certain way, some like, some do not.

  Cedars...same thing.

  Best to have both doing activist work if it helps anyone.

  What is NOT cool is when "apostates" fight internally and that becomes public knowledge, it will just feed a dub who is doubting that all apostates are indeed bitter.
