Have your JW Relatives Explained about Generation/Overlap Change to You ?
by flipper inafter reading on the way out's thread about his mom explaining the generation overlap to him it kicked this idea into my head to make this thread .
i thought it would be helpful to see if anybody here has had jw relatives or friends try to explain this " generation overlap " theory to you as a faded or inactive witness and what happened in the conversations.
so please feel free to post your experiences.

Gog and Magog - Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39
by UnDisfellowshipped inthe war of gog of magog (from ezekiel chapters 38 and 39).
the watchtower society teaches that gog is another name for satan the devil, and magog, persia, sudan, lybia, meschech, tubal, beth-togarmah are all just "symbolic" names for all of the nations of the earth that satan will use to attack jehovah's witnesses at the battle of armageddon.. however, since most of the other prophecies in ezekiel were taken literally, why should this one be symbolic?.
what are your thoughts on this prophecy?.

Claim about Russell's wealth in the new DVD "Jehovah's Witnesses: Faith in Action"
by slimboyfat ini know the society have from time to time stated that russell was a very successful businessman before he turned his hand to religion.
the new dvd is more specific than i recall them having been before on this issue.
it makes a point of saying that charles russell expanded the business and opened clothing stores independently of his father:.

Questions for BANE, SCHOLAR, and All Jehovah's Witnesses!
by UnDisfellowshipped inyou don't have to answer all of them at once.
i would be happy to see your answers to any of these questions.. remember, the inspired apostle peter gave this direction in the holy scriptures: "always [be] ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.
" (1st peter 3:15).

Help with irrefutable arguments- creating dissonance
by confliction inhello- i'm arguing with my parents now... well, call it debating.
i'm trying to give them a question they'll actually think about- something that will make them want to do more research.
a question (or questions), that if right, will make them reconsider whether they are in the "truth".... .

Where did 607 come from?
by MrFreeze inokay so we've obviously established on this board that 607 is not the correct date that babylon destroyed jerusalem.
even before 1914 came around, the bible students still thought 1914 would be a pivital date.
the only way they can gain that info is from the 7 times or w/e.
