why would you put blondie through the agony to have to read the articles? for those still toddling along with family to the meetings, just listening to the stuff once is more than enough to pick out the brain washing. But it was great to have had the digest. thanks blondie.

Or was it Designed???
by Slidin Fast inawake!
1 2017 says on its back page.
the saharan silver ant (cataglyphis bombycina) is one of the most heat-tolerant land animals known.

the design process involved a "family dinner"***. The not so well shielded ants died, were eaten by their siblings. Nature's outworkings were determined in the original beginning, creation event.
*** catchy term quoted from a recent science story on the benefit of cannibalism.

Genesis Lifetimes and Numerology
by schnell inout of morbid curiosity, i would like to here reduce the digits of the lifetimes stated in genesis chapter 5. it is clear that no human being has ever lived that long, and perhaps there is some numerological meaning to these numbers rather than literal history.
7 after he became the father of enosh, seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
10 after he became the father of kenan, enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.

I hate my own life span subject to the needs to fit, to satisfy such schemes;-- bacteria, viruses are bad enough.
I am fascinated with numerology written in the planets (wandering stars). in the Bode sequence the Earth is 10. count it on your fingers.

Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

The generation was supposed to go out with a bang, the second big one, but is going out with a whimper, not even an axe like rev 20 has it.

In the last 2 wt studies, the GB has repudiated what they taught about the first 4 years of that generation; the anointed one, remember?
Prologos above is wrong, according to the GB at least, : it will not be an endless generation, the anointed will end before the end.
The "millions will never die" of 1918, the endless generation (non anointed) , is almost gone, unless the GB starts overlapping them too.
talking snakes were a short-lived phenomenon too.

WT Flip-Flops on JesusÂ’ InspectionÂ… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?
by Alfred inthis is utterly ridiculous.... .
the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.
it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

Inspected in 1918, failed, disciplined , went to prison,
inspected for sincerity, 1919, approved, became F&DS. it could not have been content: "Millions now living will never---"

Jesus will need help from the current anointed male virgins to grasp the concept of overlapping group generations that ends before the end.

New light in this weeks WT?
by Indian Larry inanybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?
for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.
in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

Sounds to me like they are laying the groundwork for some future yet-to-be-announced doctrinal change
They are repudiating the intricacies of the past understandings, but still cling to the timelines. They absolutely lost it.? they can't lose it, they never had it.

Par. 14 mentioned that "--in 1919 a faithful and discreet slave was appointed--" not The Faithful and Discreet Slave-- ?? why not the specific, unique capitialized 1919 wt version? and :
--(Math 24:45)-- I thought Math, 24 had a primary fulfillment in the first century, so who was the F&DS in the first century, the Apostles? Paul? providing spiritual food, scriptures? so, there was an appointment in the first century, not just in 1919 as wt now claims. --- all of course based on that talking snake.
