Yes, I understand. We're in the same line. We just need to keep at a social distance and wear a mask when posting. I put on my MAGA hat to be on the safe side.

Just be careful with your keyboard. I am on my third one since I keep spraying sanitizer on them so I don't infect myself.

Linking the first convention in 1922 at Cedar Point Ohio and the proclamation made then

@smiddy3 ...

I wish people here would not screw around with the 1922 Cedar Point Ohio horn-blowing.

It's what keeps me in.

Overlapping Generation

by pandorasbox1914 in

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.

That whole "Splane" thing when he tries to "splain" the overlapping generation made as much sense as having MisterRodgers explaining to children of how clowns have sex with circus animals.

Would Watchtower Ever Risk Setting Another Date

by Number 6 in

there was a 50 year gap between the failed dates of 1925 and 1975.. memories fade, people die, and who cares what was said 50 years ago.. most jw's now in the religion werent there when 1975 was a thing.

even my mother who was baptized in 1974 who i do remember speaking about it back in the day, can barely remember what the fuss was about.

for active jw's who are doing all there studying online now, its practically impossible to find any wt contemporary reference to 1975.. i read recently (sorry i cant source it right now) that at the time, even watchtower may have taken the view that even if they knew 1975 was wrong, the short term gains would far outstrip those who left leading to an overall net gain so it was a risk worth taking.

They would need a scholarly type like Franz to get back into the date business. They do not have anyone like that now.

Franz could discuss dates, times, half times, weeks of years and various historical events, blend them together, and "prove" to you that your birth date hadn't happened yet.

And then you would nod your head in agreement.
