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.
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?

the stores manager, who didnt give his name, said the book had been sold out for some time, and the stores owner, whom the manager identified as shamim ahmad, refused to comment for the story.. .
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!

I have given up trying to control my wife.
Beating her and pulling her ears seems a bit extreem. Sometimes surrender is a wiser option.

Hot as she is - I would hesitate throw her out on a cold night!
palmtree67 Is that a swear? If it is, I'm telling.
Indeed it is. Just to remind me of my duty, I even have a label inside some of my clothes that says 'menswear.'

How's that?
this is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.
tec "I understand this. I also understand that what was 'beaten into you from birth' can be very loud... and perhaps got in the way of you being able to hear Him."
Sometimes it's what's beaten out of us that causes an inablity to trust without reason.
I was once called an ass-wipe and it was allowed.
Just as well, I viewed it as a promotion.
