The interpretation of the "generation" has changed 3 times (at least) since the 1980's! Now the generation is several overlapping generations! :-)

Why was such a GREAT, GREAT, GREAT thing as Internet not foretold in the Bible?
by Pinku injws claim that even such a small thing as proclaiming 1986 as the international year for peace was foretold in the bible.
this raises the question: why was such a great thing as internet (the influence of which could not even be compared with anything in the history at all) not foretold in the bible?
with internet and tv the world has become literally a global village!.

I might be wrong, but I think that Russel had an interpretation that the steam locomotive was foretold by Job!
I myself think it's really strange that the bible mentions such a great thing as the human brain! The kidneys that produce you know what ......are mentioned, but not the brain! :-D

Some people must have seen those COs and elders partake......and COs resigning would also be easy to verify......have we got that kind of information from another source? Where did this happen? Was it in the US, or are these figures worldwide?

Treatment of DFed family members. JW.org FAQ vs Nov 2014 WT
by EndofMysteries inon jw.org faq, " do jehovahs witnesses shun former members of their religion?, those who were baptized as jehovahs witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned.....what of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still jehovahs witnesses?
the religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain.
the marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.".

I agree with Steve.....those articles makes fence-sitters sitting even longer...why should they risk their family/friendship ties? This is emotional blackmailing.

Do you really believe it's the Truth?? Because if you really know TTATT it is almost unbearable to be inside just to get structure to life.
If you like spirituality/Christianity, go to a liberal church, like Unitarians...or something like that.
Otherwise you get structure in life if you join the Marines! :-)

Question: Is JW religion the most attacked one?
by Da.Furious ini was having a chat with an elder and couple of friends regarding apostates and how to protect ourselves and funnily how to identify them!.
during the discussion the elder mentioned: jehovah's witnesses is most attacked religion in the world.
there are no other religions that are under the spotlight.

"All other religions are against them".....I thought that it was the JW's who stated that every other religion is evil and a part of Babylon the Great. I don't think that JW/WT would like to have friendly relationships to other religions.
What about critisism of religion...I have nerver seen Christoffer Hitchens or Richard Dawkins being specific towards JW in their critisism of cristianity/religion.

jw.org madness
by Gorbatchov inmore and more jw.org special campain pictures made by the r&f flush over the internet.. it's crazy how this jw.org madness becomes a phallus inside the witness world.. observing it from some distance, it is clear: jw.org is the central theme of the current witness beliefs.
every step they make, is for promoting jw.org.
when they speak, they only speak about jw.org.

Yes, maybe it's only the beginning. probably a lot of more changes is to come. I think the rank and file have been waiting for JW-life to be more fun, like those KH dance parties, singing out loud etc.
