Is the Watchtower shy about repeating their new "generation" teaching?

as i recall in the 1980s talks and watchtower literature, magazines and books were always talking about the "generation" teaching and how it proved armageddon was going to come any day now.. but am i correct in thinking they have only actually mentioned the new "overlapping generations" teaching once or twice in the literature?

why are they so shy about talking about their great new interpretation?

it's almost enough to make you suspect they are a embarrassed about it.. mention it once or twice, don't dwell on it, hope everyone just accepts it, and don't bring it up again.

@djeggnog wrote: “ Jehovah's Witnesses do not defend obsolete interpretations since our understanding of the Scriptures is progressive, which means that what things we might understand a certain way today may change six months, even six weeks from now.”

In other words, the Governing Body, assisted by the ‘faithful & discreet slave,’ haven’t got a clue. They are just fallible men, stumbling in the dark and trying to guess where the door is. Their claim to be spirit appointed and led by spirit is humbug. Their claim to be Jehovah’s mouthpiece is pure fiction.

The Bible warns that if a blind man follows a blind man, they will both fall into the pit. That is what the Watchtower Society's has always been, from its earliest days; a pit, a stumbling block for people to trip over.

Admitting this shows humility, but supporting the Watchtower Society's deception is not a smart move.

she says that she is "studying" to become a jw , so i guess that fits in with the report that her & venus are ubps , not baptised.. personally i prefer caroline woznaicki , but i don't doubt that there will be a quite a few jw guys that regard her as ace & might be tempted to play mixed doubles , court and have a love game with serena.

and with her 85 million usd wealth , i'm guessing that that part time janitor or window washing job might no longer be necessary..

Serena and Venus could probably tempt me into a game of mixed doubles.

Mind you, I’m not sure how many rounds I could survive, or who would come out on top!

I know this is a ridiculous notion, but as Jehovah's Witnesses are supposed to be Jehovah’s representatives, why doesn’t Jehovah help them to believe and dispense accurate information.

The Watchtower Society's along with Jehovah's Witnesses have done more to make a laughing stock of Jehovah than all Christendom’s churches put together. Who need enemies when you have sepeculators that can destroy your reputation for you?

Amelia Ashton Your picture is very moving. Religious fanatics like this give religion a bad name. Perhaps I should not have made light of such a serious subject.

edit: sorry, my "linking" is still giving me problems.

This is an interesting subject. Though these situations occur between different types of people regardless of gender. Tammy mentioned this.

For example my wife is focused, rather unemotional and rarely shares her feelings. As a result she prefers me not to share mine and accuses me of being sensitive, emotional and defensive. Only the last of these three is good news for a gladiator.

It may have more to do with which side of our brain is dominant. Women are generally though to be more right brain thinkers but this very much a generalisation. Thank you for letting me share; now I feel loved!
