Socialism

by Perry in

socialists think that money will solve all man's problems.

everything is obsessively related to money in the socialist ideology.. they have an almost supernatural ability to blame others with more money.

god calls this greed and envy.

Overlapping gen teaching- Help?

hi friends,.

can someone please help explain to me the overlapping generations teaching?

Let me illustrate it this way: "There's two scoops of raisins in every box of Kellogg's raisin bran."

The Governing Body need the "generation of 1914" to still be alive. So ... they put their heads together and by means of having an old fart Fred Franz's life overlap with some young wines sippers, booyah, it's still ALIVE!

The hybrid generation of 1914, using Franz as the basis for it, makes that generation 122 years old now.

Taking care of old SFSs is monumentally expensive. They boys at the top are seeing that now with every financial report they see.

I'm sure the medical bills and maintenance of all the aged Bethelites, COs, DOs, missionaries, and special pioneers are huge, huge, huge.

Ferris Bueller, and life after the JWS

by talesin in

ferris bueller's day off was an huge flick when i was young, and it's a many-layered story.

i was watching this vid, and realized that one reason i love this movie, is that it could be one metaphor for my life.

i took the lead, did it my way, and have had one helluva lot of fun on the journey.

Now I'm starting to wonder if this movie helped me to wake up. Great OP. Epic movie. Thank you.

Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies

by Perry in

while we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.

; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.

we just weren't taught to look for them.

What a WONDERFUL country Israel is! They need to keep building settlements in the west bank. God says they should live there.

Beam me the hell up Scotty.

Please Perry do understand this is called a self-fulfilling prophecy as well as any "prophecy" about the "restoration of Israel" is horrifically and world detrimentally self-fulfilling. eg the Gaza strip
