hi friends,.
can someone please help explain to me the overlapping generations teaching?
i have not been able to grasp this one or what it even applies to?
To top it all, Jesus said : "--this generation will not pass away--" current wt doctrine says :"-- the generation* will pass away--"
Generation overlapping and anointed.
The Germans have an appropriate name for situations like that:
verfranzt. ( lost, befuddled) in wt's case caused by the theological contribution of Frederick Franz. (Friedrich der kleine).---2 F.Franzes like him, overlapping will get wt to 2075, the centennial.

..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

Divergent: Took money from another brother & did not pay it back. So a brother and then another brother? so: how many brothers were there?
why do so many witnesses end up coming to forums like this?.
no doubt it is because of the fact that the society disallows any form of sincere questioning of teachings or doctrines or history etc.... if there was open discussion allowed - free of repercussions and punishment, then no one would feel stifled.
if genuine concerns could be raised, then no one would feel smothered or unable to share thoughts... then in turn many would not leave.... but due to the high control, authoritarian culture the society has created, many feel trapped, and end up searching outside of official channels...and leaving the society.....
printed off the website i presume and hand cut with scissors.
i was handed one at the circuit assembly by one of the attendants.

Vi: "Here are two galaxies crashing together. Why would an orderly god crash two galaxies into each other?
Wonderful things happen when galaxies pass through each other. when Andromeda will meet the Milky Way, the closest star will not be 4 light ears, but 2 light years away. may be we will become a dual star system. New stars, planets forming, new youth evolving. Existence is great enough, without the dogmas, the ceremonies.
why did jonah think that he could run away from jehovah?
did he think that jehovah was a local god whose power and influence would not extend as far as tarshish?
and why would jehovah choose as his prophet a man like jonah who evidently did not appreciate that jehovah can find you know matter where you go?.
