for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .
are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.
here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.
And don`t forget the 12 bottles of scotch that was only picked up on one Sunday it could very well be a regular Sunday shop at the bottle shop. What is it ? 8 GB members ? That`s just over 1 bottle per GB member per week
You might ask whats wrong with that ? No big deal .
If that was genuinely the case then do the sums , $ 800 every week by 52 weeks in a year comes to more than $40, ,600 spent on top shelf Whiskey by the Governing Body ,so now we know where they get their Holy Spirits from .
someone who thinks im an elder:"hey.
thank you for responding.
there are prophecies in zechariah about the restoration of a physical israel.
Haven`t the wise ones on the GB said something like after the event a prophecy is found to be true ?
In other words a prophecy is made and you really have no idea what its talking about till after the event and then they say that`s what it was talking about ?
So if a prophecy is so ambiguous in the first place and can only be interpreted after the event is that really a prophecy ?
i am surprised nobody else has posted this yet.
a lot of people in aust will read this.. “incest victim turned lawyer speaks out on reporting violence and sexual abuse”.

,I listen to ABC radio very early mornings and when I get up I watch ABC TV news and I never saw or heard anything about this and I`m wondering what format this was on.? Or how you came across it .?
I have just sent an e-mail / contact to the ABC asking similar questions and also suggesting this should be given a wider audience as it truly is an amazing thing / story ,Shelley has done being a victim of sexual abuse and then turning it all around and becoming a lawyer herself .
It would make a good Australian Story ABC program if done right.
Thanks for the posts .
I have just found out that it was a journalist for on line ABC Brisbane program Kate McKenna that broke this story .
How about a few of us contact the ABC Australia requesting they promote or expand this article on national TV and radio as it is such a good success story worthy of a greater distribution .
I myself have already done so .
"how do we appeal more to the 'youths' ...".
"... i know - we'll do a religious rap !".
"kids love that shit ...".
At least they TRY to appeal to the youth LOL . I can`t say the same for the JW`s
And you must admit it did have a good beat to it .
I had to laugh at the dude with the smoker

Here are 3 Bible Scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .
1. Matt:1 :17 Abraham born 2016-18 BC Jesus born 2 BC Approx.
Therefore 2016 -18 years divided by 42 generations is approx. 48 years .
2.Luke 3:23 -38 ,again approximately 50 years .
3. Matt.24:34 , Jesus was about 30 years old when he made that prophecy ,his prophecy was fullfilled in AD 70 that means about 40 years .
Their is no indication or even a suggestion of any overlapping generation in any scripture in the Bible ,it is purely an invention of the WTB&TS to cover up their failed prophecy once again.
i`m sure you have all noticed the ever increasing number of newbies and lurkers who have visited this site over the past months and i am sure we could all collectively welcome them to this site and support them on learning the ttatt .
and helping them to navigate how they can look up older publications and quotes of the wtb&ts that they would rather remain hidden.. we all know jehovah`s witnesses /governing body never apologizes for mistakes they make they just don`t mention them anymore and explain it away as new light from god.. actually a big cop out.. welcome to all you who are new to this site .. every day their seems to be someone new posting which is great .. and if this is any indication of what is happening in all other ex jw sites the wtb&ts are in deep trouble .

Bump for newbies
last year was the first time i didn’t get an invitation to the lord’s evening meal.
i think they finally gave up on me..
I`m still waiting
i want to make a youtube video using the liquor store footage and tony speaking on the importance of respecting the conscious of others.
lemme know.
we can't say he's getting drunk but he sure didn't consider the way others would view his actions.
Refer to corruptgirl post Analysis of Tony Morris buying 12 bottles of scotch Wasanelder Once if you haven`t already done so .
She certainly nails it on the head as to the WTS viewpoint in print.
And of course their is my experience above .

Atlantis / corruptgirl,
I had second thoughts about putting those beers in as a joke because I thought I might upset corruptgirl who might have thought I didn`t take her post seriously or appreciate the evident time and effort she took in researching her post that I say again was an excellent analysis and appreciated the reason why she did post it.
And if it was at all possible I would love to have a beer or two with you Atlantis
