  Why isnt the overlapping generation( interpretation), consistently applied to these scriptures.?

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  why does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

  " as having overlapping generations ?

  and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?

  smiddy, are any of the generic generations in your quotations anointed? because the genius of the wt is, that the anointed 144 000 are supposed to be

  1) male virgins (Rev 14,) so: they can't be normal natural family heirs, ( only one virgin birth ever, and the mother was a female).

  2) the wt generation that "-will not pass away,-" , will be safe so to speak, will be spared the destruction, because it will pass away before the destruction, before Armageddon even starts. Jesus was wrong, the generation will pass away, way before the end. so:

  why? this wt creation does not fit any natural pattern,

  The more important concern? They are, --according wt words?-- your family's, marriage's integrity.

  If the kingdom is an invisible coming marriage, let's have solid ones on earth first ?

  A B:" -- meek ones will possess the earth--

  
  Wt teaches that the meek ones are the anointed, (all the bible was written for them, remember?). so: The 144k will be in heaven, absentee landlords, lording it over the earth's trillions, Great!

  re: naos and throne, wt theology has it that the "spiritual temple" was erected* at Jesus' baptism. Spiritual temple= way to worship. A temple complete with smoking incense (prayer,--- etc) , of course the GC is in that kind of a invisible wt temple.

  Bsw: wt has admitted that the Great Crowd exists only in the post - armageddon world.

  *just came from that Australian massage case.

  friday 16, december 2016. abc news: malcolm lee, 56, has been sentenced to three years, nine months jail for the attack on the woman, 80, at her home near lakes entrance in march.

  during a home massage, organised as a gift by the victim's daughter, lee touched, kissed and digitally raped the woman.

  he claimed he believed at the time it was consensual and she was enjoying it.

  How the hell do they keep their erection?

  There was a recent science article: "Why humans have no penis bone." (can't find it, BBC,?) so: in this finger massage, that problem is solved. Rather have a seniorphile than a pedophile near us any time, though. NVR2L8 is right.

  2 words for truth in Russian, for wt writers too?

  by prologos in

  ny times article: "--- 2 words for truth in russian,--" pravda, the malleable truth, and istina, the unchangeable cosmic reality.

  it looks like wt writers like that, or think like that.

  wt is constantly changing the surface truth, but can not change the underlying reality, no matter how many groups they overlap.

  prologos - Yes. I've heard a lot of these strange words--

  As my name implies, I am all for words, words are used to form our ideas, and the NYT article exposed this Russian think anomaly. Wt writers, and publishers too must have such 2 levels of truth , that is why they have to have catch phrases to abide by , and learned presentations.

  In german, truth is "Warheit" like Gesundheit, The german word "War"* describes the unchangeable past. so: the past is fixed, what we see is done deeds, starlight is 4 years old, but even there "Warheit", the past's condition can be changed by propaganda, --see wt's rendering of it's history.

  WT has failed to keep it's past truthful, but failed miserably to try to give truth about the future. In German truth about the future is an oxymoron, ihere is no Warheit = past condition about the future, and wt's failed predictions prove it. Pro- logos.

  *For english speakers in germany, War will always be part of Warheit. and JWs are never allowed to forget about the WARheit of Armageddon.

  punk of nice, The words you wrote remind me of phrases the Russian soldiers we met in 1945 , (and wished we had not) were fond of to use, and referred closely to the family violence they caused. This was a istina that pravda, the paper tried to suppress. right?

  I should have put my source The New York Times in the headline, to set the tone for the discussion to keep it out these other treasure of the russian tongue.

  respectful and good observation, that seems to be exactly the case, but as with true comrades, they might not be totally aware of what they are doing, dutifully.

The commies defined pravda as "what is good for the morale of the people, as published in their main paper organ "Pravda". is wt not the same? to the end?
