I was thinking the saaaaaaaaaaaaame thing, StuckinaRut.... & Searcher.....
It's just that the old hamster wheel gets you, doesn't it? No time to just plain...... "think"!!!!
yep, everyone who has ever lived has died.... and witnesses teach that every nonwitness deserves to be killed at armageddon ..... how many are born each day?
yet, how many become witnesses each day?.
so the longer it takes for armageddon come, the more people will die?

when the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

WT is a cold hearted corporation, colder than the world, because they claim to be the most loving organization on earth.
The way they use people's lives up, and throw them away like toilet paper is disgusting.
i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.
here is the email: .
---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.
I hope that it's true that they are going bankrupt, but as devious and greedy as they are, I have this feeling that it's all part of a master plan, thought out from long ago, HOPING that people will think that they are idiots, while the unseen, in power, are trying to sell as many things off, hiding assets, try to disappear off into the sunset, leaving the rest to hold the empty bags....
We shall see.....

hope it gets a lot of publicity!
I can't help but think that Trey's investigations might play into what's happening now with WT. In his interview in February he said that he had contacted the Dept of Justice re: the 24,000 child abuse cases that came to light in the Lopez case last year. I wonder if there is something happening related to that...
Great connection, Homebythesea!

Has anyone seen the letters that Rod Frances sent to the congregations in Fremont, stating that Abrahamson, Clarke and Lamerdin, "lied repeatedly, intentionally, with "malice" under oath"?
Trey has included a link to them here:

But in a series of 2013 letters to Jehovah’s Witnesses leaders, Rod Francis, who was an elder in the North Fremont congregation in the 1990s when the abuse occurred, accused the three elders of lying under oath.
“None of the other elders, including myself were aware that a child sexual predator was in our midst even though the offender was in my book study,” he wrote. “Because of this the congregation and our own families were unable to be adequately protected resulting in catastrophic outcomes for other young girls and damage to my own family. These three brothers lied in court about this and much more.”
So, during the Candace Conti case, you had three "brothers" sworn in, under oath "So help them God"... to not only tell "the" truth.... but the "whole truth." They swore they kept an eye on Jonathan Kendrick like a hawk, yet Rod Frances, an elder at that time... who had a bookstudy in his home that Jonathan attended, and the REST of the elders serving at that time had no clue that Jonathan was a child molester, as the 'honorable' 'truth teller' JW lawyer Jim McCabe purported at the trial.

What I liked about it was that she was not explicit in details, so that anyone watching could not 'critique' anything she found out.... So, no matter what you were wondering about, any ideas that were floating around in the doubting side of your brain, you could apply her sincere message to yourself. It would give you hope... "Just research"
I also think that many JW's need to hear "enjoy life", you don't need to 'be afraid to research the truth.' If it is the truth, you will only reinforce the truth.
I am happy to hear that their family is on their way to a closer relationship, one that is willing to explore anything that comes their way!
Keep going Keturah & fam!
i started working on this chart 5 years ago.
i didn't think i'd have to update it again so soon.. .
linky in case image doesn't show below.
Great chart! I love the pics included....
What would the Society do w/o the words "Apparently", "Evidently" or "However"?
hi, i m new here and not so good in english, but ive give it a try and hope you understand.. .
the whole idea of the overlapped generation is not only illogical, there are also serious errors in reasoning and how to interpret the scripture.. .
the only "scriptural argument" that the governing body has managed to bring in this matter is exodus 1: 6 where they say that a "generation" can be stretched to cover a longer period than usually meant by a "generation".
*** it-1 p. 28 Abraham ***Family Origin and Early History. Abraham was the tenth generation from Noah through Shem and was born 352 years after the Deluge, in 2018 B.C.E.
(Matthew 1:17) 17 All the generations, then, from Abraham until David were fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations.
2018 years divided by 42 generations = 48.04 years per generation according to Matthew.... a person who heard Jesus talk about "this generation"......
After Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE, did Matthew start thinking,"Hmmmm..... I wonder if Jesus was really thinking back to Joseph's day, maybe this isn't what he was thinking about after all, and maybe it was overlapping generations, and this "destruction" that happened with Jerusalem is wrong?"
70 CE/destruction -33 CE/ Jesus died = 37 years "This generation will not pass AWAY" .....Well, did Jerusalem pass away within 48.04 years? yes
