It shows that when the fulfillment of prophecy is era-centric and interpreted by those that are ego-centric you end up with change after change to meet the needs of unfulfilled expectations. In order to keep the rank and file excited you have to CREATE urgency and the ONLY way to do that is to adjust...always adjust

2 reasons the 'overlapping anointed' idea generates no comfort for the WT writers.
by prologos in1) the general "wicked generation" has always members that live past 115 years, so without the ridicoulous overlap idea, it would have taken wt writers to 2030 for the start of pardise.. 2) the "all things take place" prophecy recorded in math 23-25 include the entering of the " goats into everlasting cutting off=armageddon; the sheep into everlasting life= paradise".
therefore: the generation of wt anointed overlappers dying before armageddon to be raptured, is not what jesus said.
he said the generation will not pass, will survive, be alive , witness the entering into paradise.

Appelate court cannot be too hasty with this decision as it will have future, all encompassing ramifications if the plaintiff wins. It may well end up at the State Supreme Court level. I don't mind waiting, as waiting implies that they are really mulling it over and the legal point in question is not cut-and-dried. The wheels of justice turn slowly, let's just hope that the decision causes some other wheels to slam to a halt!

The center of attention thing will only last until pre-teen, then she will regret the single dumbest decision of her young life up until that point....

Purging and letting go of the past
by Skinnedsheep inmy wife and i decided that today would be the day that we would let go of the past.
we collected all of our watchtower published books and brochures and threw them out.
it was honestly bitter sweet to toss our old pioneer books, marked up insight books, and notes from 25 years of conventions.

New explanation of Gog of Magog: Two Gogs?
by leaving_quietly ini just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.
i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.
this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .
