Peters sermon at Acts chapter two goes along with Vader’s thoughts . This sermon explains in plain detail that Peter was saying it, that they were that last generation.

Matthew 24:34 not fulfilled in the first century
by Jules Saturn ini was discussing with an elder the generation teaching and telling him when jesus christ says in matthew 24:34 “truly i say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.” he was referring to the generation from the first century in 33 ad and these events that were to take place took place with the destruction of jerusalem in 70 ad.
now the elder tells me to go back to a few verses to from verses 29-33 which read: .
“immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30 then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Who’s to say these things didn’t occur, the Romans could of easily blown trumpets when attacking Jerusalem. The son/Sun of man did come in the clouds for all to see .

Ex CO over at Reddit stated when serving in his Latin American area that the growth just wasn’t there . Despite the reported 4 % growth I believe he stated all he really saw was maybe one family that joined or a relative or two coming in but nothing major. Another thing to ask is if Central Africa is growing so much why did they close the branch in that area?

The Elephant in the room: ExJw disunity
by Diogenesister infantastic new video by the lovely susan gaskin and friend andrea discusses the huge variety of exjw opinions and why our supposed disunity is in reality our strength.
the witnesses will claim we cannot agree and there are nothing but fights and a lack of harmony within our community whereas they are the most unified religion who believe the same things where ever you go.
however andrea points out that this is just an illusion, there is no unity amoung jws.

Strange
by Jrjw ina couple of times at the meetings this year we've been told that in the future we might get some strange directions from the society that might not make any sense to us.
then they've said will we show our loyalty to jehovah by still obeying?
seems a rather unusual thing to say.

Israel (Is Real?)
by TerryWalstrom inevery nation is a kind of weird intellectual construct.
when we say: china--all of us get some kind of fictional mental snapshot in our head.
sure, there is a country called "china".we just don't really know a soul living there.

Sure Israel is real now but there’s a lot of evidence that it may have not really existed back in the days when were led to believe Israel was a nation then wiped out by the Assyrians. The evidence from Egypt is a mistranslation.

I’ve only been to one funeral where it wasn’t an out right infomercial. They talked about him and husband life for a while before going all commercial. But this elder was a die hard so even talking about his life it was all JW related. Then what was weird is they started with the whole sin of Adam and Eve and explained the whole doctrine. It was the last time I was in a hall, couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there!

What if the crucifixion never took place..
by Jayk ini googled it and pretty much my understanding is the same as what i imagine.
no one really knows, your guess is as good as the next.
interesting thought to consider imo..

God kills a heavenly being he calls his son as sacrifice because some girl then a boy eat an apple. Would you do that? Would you kill one of your kids because the nieghbor did something wrong? Does this make any sense at all. Really think about it, it was a test and Eve failed , jesus was then tempted three times by Satan and he passed the test with flying colors, but is still killed, right! Makes all the sense in the world!
