OneEyedJoe: Seems like he took the coward's way out here
JWs ARE cowards. They are afraid to face reality.

Name Things You Can't Do If You Are JW...or not supposed to do
by minimus inwitnesses are not supposed to stand for the national anthem but can stand for a flag salute.. you can't say bless you if someone sneezes, good luck!, or " you too" if someone says, happy holidays.. it is a religion of cannot dos.
everything is pagan and worldly.. what are things that are unacceptable to jehovah's witnesses that really are no big deal to everyone else?

Think for yourself, think critically, question the Governing Body or point out flaws, inaccuracies, inconsistencies or any other problems with their "theology."

Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation
by Splash inat around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".
this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.
obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

Jesus "evidently meant ..."
Silly me. I like my "evidentlys" to have actual evidence!

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again
by Designer Stubble inguess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.
david spane does his best to explain it again.
the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

George: At about the 12 minute point Splane states categorically that all the members of the current Governing Body are in the second group. That includes Sanderson who some are here questioning.
That is an interesting detail.
I still wonder if Sanderson started partaking in his 20s. As I said above, that would have been quite unusual in the late '80s/early '90s. At least in the areas of SoCal where I was an elder at the time, he would have been looked upon with a great deal of suspicion.
More likely, it's a bit of revisionist history. Who knows when Sanderson started partaking! It doesn't matter. It's all a delusion.
The GB can say anything at this point and the R&F will lap it up like hungry little dogs.

Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED
by C0ntr013r ini went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

EdenOne, as I recall, that is "an experience" published in an Awake! mag back in the '80s or thereabouts. -

stuck: Why are we all trying to make sense of this stuff?
That is a really good point!
In case I wasn't clear, my explication was intended to show just that: This is all nonsense!
WT "theology" is incoherent and internally inconsistent. The GB is under the delusion that the use of the word "evidently" somehow suffices for actual evidence.

NSWTG: if he was anointed at 21 then that is 1986 well before 1992
IF he claimed to be anointed before Franz died, THEN you would be right.
Do you know this for a certainty?
In the '80s and '90s it would have been very unusual for a 20-something punkass JW to claim to be anointed.
It is possible, just extremely unlikely. As far as I can tell, the GB is not providing any details one way or the other. They don't really like to give anything that resembles evidence, do they?
By the way, let's get one thing straight: NO ONE IS ANOINTED BY HOLY SPIRIT. That notion is a myth.
