From jwfacts, Changes to the Generation Teaching:

“At the 2010 annual meeting, John Barr presented another new understanding of the generation. 97 year old Barr was an apt choice to deliver this talk, being the last of the Governing Body born before 1914. He explained the generation is now to include 2 groups whose lives "overlap" since 1914:

Jesus evidently meant that the lives of the anointed ones who were on hand when the sign began to be evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of the other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation. We do not know the exact length of ‘this generation,’ but it includes these two groups whose lives overlap.”

Evidently ... It’s overlapping bullshit! 💩 💩

"A generation is not overly long."

Evidently, they are also not “underly short.”

WT “theology” is a joke for its lack of consistency, coherence or logic.

Let’s review: It’s a cult!

now that i'm out if i ever do find someone and settle down and start a family, my parents wont be a part of it.

my dad wont walk me down the isle if i get married, if i have kids they wont know their grandparents.

oh and by the way i had my freaking tubes tied so as not to have kids in this system.

so one night i'm at a meeting.

it's the beginning of the meeting and a brother is up on stage introducing the parts for the night.

he's going through the parts and then he says, "...and apieceofshitnamedtate will be handling our bible highlights.".

I was the Theocratic Ministry School Overseer for 14 years. I would get so frustrated with how frequently people would fail to show up for assignments which they voluntarily agreed to take. That and last minute cancellations were the bane of conducting the TMS. The only thing worse was scheduling the Public Talks—which I also did—for the same reasons.

And, yes, I was always prepared to handle every part in the event it was necessary. What a stressful responsibility. So glad I don’t have to worry about that nonsense anymore.

I’m guessing none of them ever read the account of The Good Samaritan.

Do You See "The Elephant In The Room" At This JW Regional Convention?

by JW GoneBad in

someone posted this image on their facebook page of a recent jw rc showing a rather petite group of baptismal candidates.

notice there are nearly 75 seats (5 rows) reserved for the occasion.

by my count...it looks like between 17 to 19 were baptized...with total attendance of 6,000. the youngest among them looks like between 9 and 11 years old.
