So what do your Jehovah's Witness friends and loved ones think of the generation teaching?
by garyneal inafter the little skit at the last assembly where one brother was asking another for understanding about the generation teaching i thought, "wow, these people will believe anything the watchtower tells them.
" the 'more mature brother' practically said verbatim everything the watchtower said as his explanation.
evidently, this is one of the sources of the increased 'murmuring' that the talked warned against.. so, has anyone brought this up to their witness friends and/or family?

DAD: They don't know everything and are trying to do what they are told to do- don't think you can outsmart the Governing Body - i know I can't
I'd have been gobsmacked by that a few years ago. Not now. I've only mentioned it once to a JW, and they responded that they always believed in overlapping generations. Eh? Yes, that they were the same generation as their parents as their lives overlapped. -

Has this happened to any one else?
Similar. It was a few years back when I mentioned it to a visiting JW. They told me they'd get back to me. They did. They (said that they'd) telephoned a relative in Bethel/Brooklyn (we live in England) and the answer was that it wasn't the Society, but a private individual (unbeknownst to the WTS) who had joined the library for personal use.

Who has had this year's invitation personally delivered by elders?
by biometrics inhad two elders personally visit me today to deliver the rejection of christ memorial invitation.
they were hanging around the front gate for a while because our dog (labrador) woudn't let them in.. my wife let them in the yard / house.
when they asked if i'd be going i smiled and said "thank you for the invitation", then quickly changed the subject.

Put it (the bag of dog cr*p) on their doorstep and set it alight - then ring their doorbell (and run away). They'll answer door, see a bag on fire on their doorstep and instinctively stomp on it to put it out. Old but classic.

Here's a "press release" written by an anonymous source that can be sent to the media about the thinner magazines

It never gained converts, and it no longer produces income. But it is still important as a control mechanism.
True. Yet I bet JWs would disagree. I know JWs who have 'placed the magazines' with the same people for many years (20+), and those people have no intention of ever converting. Yet they are part of the 'magazine route'. They're classed as 'interested ones' (lol). A neighbour of mine has the magazines just because they don't like saying no (and I bet that's not uncommon).

I recall the when the book study ceased. It was announced on here some weeks prior to the official announcements at KHs. I told one (very active) JW about the upcoming announcement and they responded something like 'that would never happen, they'd never stop the book study' and dismissed it. On the day of the announcement, that JW knew what was coming (and told me afterwards).
Imagine if every JW in every congregation knew all these 'top secret' announcements a few weeks ahead of time?

I wonder how JWs would react gaining this information from a 'Worldly' source prior to its official 'release' from God's own organisation..?
