  i first came to know about the 1995 shift in the definition of a generation from this website, having not stepped foot into a kh, bar the odd funeral, since the early 90s.

  i recently had the opportunity to question my mother and aunt about the change in doctrine.

  in an apparently innocent way, i asked about the post great war generation dying out and what that meant for the prophecy.

  i can recall most of the world powers, accordimg to jw interpretation, but what other sect has agreed on the anglo-american world power being in prophesy?

  especially at the turn of the last century?

  how about the chinese, who ruled 1/3 of the earth in medieval times?

  did anyone else see this show last night?

  it was on the more obscure bbc4 (available in the uk on satellite or cable).. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/listings/programme.shtml?day=yesterday&filename=20031029/20031029_2200_4544_28579_40.

  the programme looked at recent media preoccupation with the end of the world (asteroid collisions, global warming, etc.).

  What is the WT view of donating to charity?

  .

  i have been completely out of touch for over a decade, but i recall that the general sentiment was that charities are often corrupt or inefficient, and too often have some association with false religion..
