  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.

  Do JWs Get Excited About WT Publications Any More?

  by NotFormer in

  memory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.

  when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.

  he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  I don't hear anything about publications.

  Family were talking recentlyabout not preaching anymore, only random talks about non religion subjects.

  Current blood card?

  by carla in

  1. watchtower

  i have a question regarding the current blood card- did the blood card always have a spot where the jw gives the elders the authority to pull the plug (so to speak) and to admit them to a long term facility?

  as well as no blood, naturally.

  if the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible?

  Kingdom hall cleaning

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  I remember reading these article in the bound volumes at home when I was 7 years old.

  The time everything was easy.

  I did not follow these advise. Now a top level manager.

  I don't know what is in the drinking water of Wallkill, because Steven Lett made some strange humour also during his recent visit in Amsterdam.

  The wrong humour.

  There is something going on with those guys.

  Crisis of Conscience

  2. beliefs

  this is my first time posting to this forum.

  let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.

  This is not new, for me it started with this generation change in 1995, and reading Raymonds books and website.

  Before us, there were many others making the same progress. Once there was xjw.org with many stories. Offline now.
