  That's pretty cool Possible-san!

  Thanks. I wonder why it's getting harder to get your magazines at the hall and easier to get them online.

  There's changes and then there's more changes. I remember when my Dad couldn't even keep names and phone numbers or addresses of the Friends in his old DOS computer for fear of the great tribulation and Caesar getting a hold of the names of Witnesses.

  Now more and more things are done over the net and there's someone(s) in the writing department at Bethel teasing people with article titles that bring to mind "Apostate" literature. Oh, my!

  Maybe the good thing is that Crisis of Conscience may be on the lips and minds of may "conscious" ones like BnyByt said.

  MP3s !!! 2010-2011 DC TALKS

  by yknot in

  commentary on mp3s: (in addition to circulate as you see fit!).

  in light of the wts's recent attempts to conceal it's talks from broader inspection and documentation, mp3s to the public are now mostly the works of the 'conscious class' and those exjws who force themselves to endure hours upon hours of control-laced presentations.

  kudos to all those who embody anonymous.

  Just wear an empty plastic holder to the Convention site.

  When you get in ask for two programs from an attendant.

  Rip out the front title of one of the programs, write your

  name or whatever you want underneath in pen, then fold

  and stick it in the plastic badge holder. Looks convincingly

  like the official name tag. And has been used by some who

  have forgotten their convention badges at home. Easy peasy!

  It doesn´t say to wear suits, have TV´s, have internet in the Bible yet ALL of you do right? But you gripe about time being handed in?

  BANE, you ignorant troll! It's not about having things.

  It's about other people telling you that you need to do

  something or else you're discounted as being a Spiritual

  person.

  You're such a troll! Go back home under the Brooklyn

  bridge you crawled out of! You know DUMBO, your home

  headquarters. Although it seems your Momma is leaving

  home soon, that ignorant slut, spiritually speaking found

  some good dirt upstate in Warwick. Where's that in the

  Bible?

  Chrome Browser...

  I just dragged the

  thumbnail from Youtube

  on to the edit box, but the

  link didn't seem live until I

  copied the URL to the video

  then hit the chain-link icon

  of the edit box and pasted

  the address... now it seems

  to work fine.

  The Generation Watchtower (TOMORROW!) and The Cough of Incredulity

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower will be studied tomorrow that contains the new overlapping generations teaching.

  paragraph 10 reads:.

  "he evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation.".

  one brother actually said generations of anointed have been overlapping since Jesus' day

  That's the old understanding from not too long ago. The new one is about two groups of contemporaries overlapping.

  I guess they got too greedy and figured out they better keep that previous understanding on hand for when it becomes

  obvious that this "contemporaries overlap" is running out of time, but by then it will be 2060 and nobody will remember

  that back in 2008 they'd come out with a generations of anointed overlapping since Pentecost idea.

  Well, this is the way it went today at the congregation I'm visiting, there was some coughing on paragraphs 10 and 14

  but couldn't really tell as they were coughing and hacking away through most of the study.

  But the funny thing was that the WT reader actually gave a small cough and cleared his throat right at the "evidently"

  point, but he did it so matter of fact and graciously that I wouldn't have noticed unless I was expecting someone to

  cough out in unbelief. So I followed it by a big cough that everyone would notice just in case there was any hard of

  hearing of the "conscious class" present.

  Explaining the NEW Generation!

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  explaining the new generation teaching:.

  this is for anyone who may not know yet what exactly the "new light" is on the "generation of 1914":.

  god has now revealed to the governing body of jehovah's witnesses the true identity of "this generation that will not pass away until all these things occur" spoken of by jesus at matthew 24:34!.

  Present day anointed or not, the problem in discussing this with any active and loyal JW

  is that they will repeat whatever they think it's the latest understanding according to the

  WT explanations. If 40 or 50 years from now they say there's another group that overlaps

  it will be met with the same willingness to go along with the "New Light" as this latest

  change in doctrine. The WT/GB is such a slimy scoundrel that they'll have another explanation

  on hand and will make the R&F feel as if their expectations were wrong to begin with and

  not accept the blame for setting up the expectation in the first place. They've done it before,

  they've done it since the start, they'll do it again, and again and again. And there will always

  be those gullible enough to fall for it.

  I'm listening in to the meeting at my old congregation, back West, on the phone

  there's been coughing at the 9-10th paragraph question about three different

  coughs. At the 13-14th paragraph reading, during the start of the 14th a lot

  of coughing. Then during the reading of the question about three different

  coughs were discernible.

  The meeting at the congregation I'm visiting is in the afternoon, so I'm

  practicing my one and only comment during the WT study, that is I'm

  going to cough out loud during the 10th and 14th paragraphs.

  If you attended the meeting today how did it go in your

  congregation?
