Learning Other Languages

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

the jw org keeps its servants busier than ever these days so that their minds are occupied 24/7.

they ensure that there is no time for anything "worldly" to distract them.. in last week's watchtower article on spiritual health they are putting pressure on the congregation to learn other languages on top of everything else they do.

they allude to the fact that their spiritual health will suffer if they cannot understand the talks and publications in other languages.

Kids will learn another language almost by osmosis, if in immersion outside the family, but even if you are a polyglot , your own kids might resist learning from you, a language other than the one the family uses day to day. Wt asked the Special pioneers, at one time to speak the language of their assignment at home, what a disaster, how do you let your hair down in another tongue?

taking your kids, wife to a foreign language congregation is a good idea, Chinese preferred, they will not get a thing out of the meetings for a long time, and that is a good thing.

wt on a slide, " 1914's generation is not only overlapping, but also composite.

by prologos in

doctrines projected by wt writers can be compared to the slides in the old carousel slide shows, the jw audience was kept in the dark, but the next images' bright filtered new light had their rapt attention.

often these doctrine images came around again but modified, often totally changed, turned upside down.

James Jack2 days ago: prologos
Your explanation is just as confusing as the Over Lapping Generation Doctrine!

ok to make it simple, let's quote Joseph*:

The anointed groups will come and go, but the patient people will remain.

*Joseph Stalin : "The Hitlers will come and go, but the german people will remain.

What is life?

by punkofnice in

when i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.

psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.

although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.

prologos

"I can not find happiness or meaning knowing it will all end and be forgotten.-- cursed with consciousness-- Freeandclear:

if you think about it, , How important it is to make the "now" a quality experience!, what would makes you happy? push that to the limit, for all. You do not live in the past, for it does not exist any more, any of it, and not in the future to which you have not travelled yet. so: live your life, happy, - not happy at any price, but meaningfully.

Question to all:

HOW CAN DESCENDANTS OF THE FIRST HUMANS POSSIBLY NOT BE PART OF THE GENERATION LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?

no matter how you define any of the above terms.? so:

The anointed wt generation not only overlaps with itself, but simultaneously with the Other Sheep, until the anointed die. Then the entrants into paradise will prove to be those of that composite generation, overlapping in all ways, that are truly the last generation, the "anointed" being only a transient visible phenomenon. caveat: speaking in terms of current wt "light", not endorsing.

Thank you Listener for prompting this definition.

So when will the Society produce a comedy video on JWorg?

by stuckinarut2 in

so according to 1 tim 1:11 jehovah is supposed to be a "happy god".. so when will we see "his people" produce a comedy video of some sort for the website?.

if you could propose an idea or storyline, what would it be?.

prologos

god's immediate reaction to the tower of babel, feeling threatened, then his supposed, but absent fear of the brothers Montgolfiere, the brothers Wright, Piccard's balloon, Laika, Gagarin, Armstrong, ISST, robot landings on mars, venus. Space cleansed of Satan but reconquered (kind of) by humans. Selfcontrol developing? Photodrama of intervention?

Xmas / New Year - Time to Review Your Finances

by Simon in

it's that time of the year again, when most people spend too much buying too much crap for people .... it's also a good time to take advantage of the few days off to look at your finances and make sure you're not being "gouged" by the big companies that, well, like to extract as much money from people as possible.. for us, one of the biggest culprits was telecoms.. think about it: years ago you just had to buy a tv and probably paid to have a phone line.

nowadays you have cell phones for everyone in the family and a million and one tv channels (all showing crap or repeats of crap) and extra for movies and pay-per-view.

you can easily be paying hundreds of dollars per month.. it can all add up, quickly.

For those in Canada with kids. rethink your RESP. If you contribute 2500 per month, the government gives you 500, may be 600 yearly grant. 7200 total max until college, but your friendly banker might charge 2% plus on some plans. 12 000 taken away in fees, vs. 7200.- in government gifts. shop around for a better deal. research the sites. very involved, a law degree helps. Registered Education Savings Plan's contributions can be delayed for a year and still get the grants retroactively.

The other sheep were not in existence in 1914, Listener:

Very good catch! so, Let us look at that in depth. The wt "Other Sheep" are those not sealed, outside the 144 000. aka the Earthly Class. right? That sealing went on at least since Stephen's time, if not Pentecost. so, Those non-1444ks must have existed since then, right? because after all, the 144 000 come out of a greater entity, the 12 Tribes of Rev. 7.--and you can not come out of something that does not exist!, right? The Earthly class has existed since Abel, uninterrupted. so:

wt could come clean in one fell swoop and re-introduce Br. Cornelius as the original Other Sheep, him being " not of this fold ", namely Israel. and most importantly:

Since wt featured the 1918 talk with the certain promise: "* Millions now living will never die" which only could happen to the earthly OS class ( you have to die to go to heaven ), the basis for the declaring of a composite overlapping generation is laid right there . already hidden in the rubble of wt rumblings. ha ha. thank you.

stuckinarut: "--according to wt thinking!

stuckinarut, ---Wt thinking is stuck in a rut, it really is, one has to use their premises with humour to show how ridiculous it is, but

Even if you would get that straightened out, you still have the talking snake phenomenon unsolved. thank you.

What is the difference between a rut and the grave? -- the depth. if you dont get of the former, in time, you end up in the latter.

schnell: 2114? Why that's just 2 years after 2012 , or

the due date of the new light wt book release: "God's Kingdom Rules, -still, K is overruled,K is overdue."

The composite generation moves nicht schnell. is a drag.
