the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.
Right on, smiddy3!
I was just about to say the same thing (I did the same math you did when this 'generation' thing started) ......
Yep, smiddy3, since "Jesus set the example" "This generation will by no means pass away" What happened in HIS day? From 33 to 70 is how many "generation years"? 37, plain and simple. NOT 120 or more.
Sit down and shut up JWs.

i had this article pop up about the darksilver case.
it says a federal magistrate in san francisco has now ruled that darksilver can remain anonymous but then it says except for identification to lawyers for the religion’s watchtower publication.

Desirous of Change / DOC..... Yes, it is true. My husband was an elder, and had to testify against the WT in a child abuse case. The WT waited until the case was dismissed in Summary Judgement and then DF'd my husband, my two sons, and the uncle of the child who was abused.
I asked my mother (who is still a Jdub) if she would still talk to us "after the case", as I knew from reading many other experiences that after you testify, after you 'tell the truth', and if you 'talk', you WILL BE DF'd. It came true, just as I predicted... they were disfellowshipped, like many others. The WT does not want you to talk.
news❗️ watchtower lawyer paul d. polidoro admits in writing that watchtower has a "practice of shunning".
do jehovah’s witnesses shun former members of their religion?

I am not disfellowshipped. As my DF'd husband (who stood up against the WT in a child sex abuse case and was DF'd for it) and I were helping my JW mom (and never JW dad) clean up their yard (for months) my JW sister told me "even tho you are not DF'd, we know you are apostate, and you will be shunned!" in a very loud voice.
that's the one thing they all have in common.
because as soon as you are aware that you are in one, you would of course leave it,.
so millions of people all over the world are in them and but of course are ignorant of this fact.. i was asked many times over the years in field service, the question.
Woe! KInda sums it up in 2 minutes 3 seconds! Miighty plain and simple. Love it. Wouldn't you just love to be able to say this in court?

maybe am the iii was sending the scotch to hurricane ravaged lands to help comfort them?.

The WT must realize how many people are leaving, and that they must brainwash these kids to "feel good" "doing something for Jehovah" before they get too old. Reminds me of what Hitler did to the kids in his country.
i was pondering the way the society condemns anyone who looks for "spiritual food" outside of their approved channel.
as we know, jws are only to go to the approved website, and research material.. this illustration came to mind.. lets say we have a 5star fancy restaurant, and a new clean food truck.
both kitchens prepare a meal.. if the food is simply assessed on its own merit, and the source of its production is ignored, it can be deemed as healthy, safe, nutritious and tasty.
Blondie - this article is such a good example of the best of the best BS that WT continually publishes. A true brain-bender.
"The Boreans were "wanting to have this “good news” proved true
for a person to acquire faith he must have “the will to believe.”
If he is determined not to believe, then no amount of evidence will convince him;
If a person is truly searching, then reality is reality, fact is fact.
Acts 17"11 carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
Why would they need to examine things daily if they already believed?
The WT uses a whole paragraph to bend your brain.

Thank you so much Flipper, that was a very worth while day. So rewarding. Our website includes hours of research to help understand the cultural changes we need. Https://scaars.org
so i got married a few weeks ago, living a great life now with my husband, he was definitely the perfect guy for me :) but anyways, we are going to work on slowly fading, going to meetings once a week or every two weeks, and then in a few months move to a hall where nobody knows our families and the elders hardly know each other, and fade out a lot more.
but an elder asked for our address, which we didn’t feel comfortable giving him, because we don’t want any unexpected visits to “shepard” us, when we miss a few meetings, because they already text us when we miss 2 meetings in a row, which we had just gotten back from our honeymoon 🙄 so we “accidentally” gave him the wrong apartment number.
so if they ever come pokin around they will be lost, and if they call or text us we will just have an excuse for not replying.
Theocratic warfare... ;-) Keep talking about how much money you need? Haha... Most witnesses run ;-)
