Sounds like maybe thier going to say that the generation that sees these events fulfilled. So they could be setting it up for a future fulfillment stating that the generation will not exist until the tribulation starts. Then they can dismiss thier whole generation of 1914 and the overlapping crap and say it's still a future event that's going to happen very soon.

Going back to the 2008 Generation
by FusionTheism init looks to me like the society is rapidly moving back to the february 2008 watchtower "new light" on "this generation," which said this:.
* jesus used "this generation" to mean "anointed ones.".
* in the first fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive to witness the events of 70 c.e.. * in the secondary fulfillment, jesus was promising that some anointed ones would still be alive when jesus returns to judge the sheep and goats.. the new 2015 jw research guide posted on jw.org lists this 2008 watchtower article as the first article people should read about the "clarified understanding" of the generation.. this 2008 view also matches the statement in the new 2015 jesus--the way, the truth, the life book, which says that "this generation" refers to disciples who see the signs of the last days.. i think they are abandoning the overlapping part..

Where is hemopure in all this? I thought the JW elders through the liason committee were advising thier members to take hemopure. -

New (non)-Witnessing Model
by berrygerry inso, one of the kids on reddit posted this video - an evangelist trying to witness to guardians of the cart.
(both sides are fairly respectful imo).

Was the Economic Collapse of 2008 and the obvious Money Grab by the Organization a Coincidence?
by My Name is of No Consequence inlet me start off by saying that the org has always been trying to get money.
but is it a coincidence that they have been so in-your-face about it since 2008?
in 2008, most of the world experienced an economic drop-off that it has not witnessed since the 1930s and is still struggling to recover from..

The down turn caused thier investments to go in the toilet, donations by the members have slowed big time. The tax man of many nations desperate for revenue is and has started changing the rules he can get more from people including non prophets like the borg. The Borg is desperate that's why they sold off most of new York. Now they may of Stade off disaster but thier obviously changing so their solvent in the future. -

Book of Enoch?
by Soldier77 ini came across this a few weeks back while doing some online research http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/ (i hope that's how you post links) and i'm curious to know if any of you have done research into this book and what are your comments/thoughts on it?.
i've read through the watchers and the adam and eve story, quite interesting opens up another angle of the whole "in the beginning".... how accurate is this book?
why was it left out of the bible?

Its all a joke, why if the Bible is inspired did God allow the apocryphal books to be taken out or even be put in if they were not supposed to be. -

I believe all kingdom halls that aren't mud huts will be sold off and new ones built like the new design we've seen for more potential prophet. -

What was your eye opening moment?
by WasOnceBlind inif you had to pinpoint the time or experience that finally made you open your eyes, what would it be?.
i think for me it was the time i saw my dad shun his brother who he had not seen in decades just because he was a da'ed jw.
i thought to my self "no way jesus would do that.

If this didn't wake some up it should have. The 2013 cyclone that hit the Philippines. Elders told ones to meet and stay in the kingdom halls, God's house. Three kingdom halls destroyed, the last one half the congregation that was there sucked out and drowned by a storm surge. Where was Jehovah when they needed him? What a bunch of crap! -

The brutal reality of JW teachings
by Tornintwo inthese stats have just blown my mind, thought they might help another doubter too.. according to 2015 yearbook says 755 baptized daily, wow, sounds impressive right?.
but the world population grows by 228,000 every day.
(that's after deaths taken into,account).

Yep and when someone dies by not taking blood they are a human sacrifice to Jehovah. A bloody human sacrifice, ask a JW to explain how it's not and watch them run.
