Translation: "We were wrong about the meaning of this ordinary word 'generation' for about 100 years, but now we've got it right with the 'overlapping generation' explanation. ... You can trust us!"
Ugh, let's review: It's a cult!

PB: everytime I ask a question now my husband says I have a negative attitude and I sound like an apostate
Yep, asking questions is the first sign of apostasy.
Now be a good little Jdubba-you drone and sit down and shut up.
Listen, obey and be blessed: It's a cult!

This is just one more example of how WT "theology" is internally inconsistent and incohererent.
Most good fiction writers are better at coming up with fantasies that make sense and are not filled with contradictions.
But it's pointless to try and make sense out of this nonsense.
It's just a big steaming pile of overlapping bullshit!

I'm a lot nicer, that's for sure.
JW "morality" is well below my current standards of ethics, but I'm sure they would say I'm "evil" because I think Stephen Lett is an idiot and ToMo is mentally disturbed. Seriously! What religious leader having the rapt attention of over a million of his loyal, faithful followers would choose to talk about what color socks you should or shouldn't wear? What a nut job!!!
The remaining five GB bozos aren't much better.

Why does the Watchtower leadership slap its own defenders in the face?
by slimboyfat intake the case of rolf furuli.
i don't think there has been a specific thread on the hebrew verbs u-turn in the nwt, and how the society has responded to the work of perhaps their brightest and ablest defender in their history.
so here goes.. rolf furuli has defended jws on multiple fronts in many different settings, on issues ranging from chronology, mental health, doctrines, bible translation and the blood issue.

It's not about any alleged doctrinal purity or correct interpretation and/or translation of the Bible.
The Bible is actually just a prop for the WT leadership.
Cult leaders are insecure narcissists that get insanely jealous whenever anyone else gets the spotlight, even when those others agree with them.

Why does the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witnesses use the Bible?
by WireRider inthe watchtower, post russell, and the jehovah's witnesses hate the jews and the catholics.
they are not allowed to even set foot in the churches of the bible.
they endlessly rail against how wrong they are - but they are all based on their book??.

Russell and his cronies no doubt believed the Bible is inspired, but somewhere along the line it has become nothing more than a prop for the cult's leaders' scam. -

JW opportunistic preaching to the grieving and vulnerable is shameful indeed. But it's just Cult Recruiting 101.
Right now the French have more important issues to deal with than JWs with Watchtowers claiming "The End is coming soon!"

Londo: When I was a teenage, an elder took it upon himself to warn me that some young guys at school might get together in a circle and well, you can probably fill in the rest.
Well that elder was a real jerk!
