If your goal was to come up with a topic more convoluted and undecipherable than "overlapping generations", then congratulations, you have succeeded.
sir82, There are some that are interested to what the formula that wt published really works out to.II is called the applied science method. . If you cant call the numbers you do not understand it. JWs would be appalled to learn that David Splane, by using the "F" *word, moved 2075 into the realm of possibilities. * F for Franz.
More convoluted for some is the fact, and explanation, that the anointed generation formula contradicts Jesus definition, timeline of that group or the groups of people.
For good reasons our assigned symbols differ only in shade.

My jaw dropping OMG moment at the end of the convention
by UnshackleTheChains inyes folks.
over the past few days i can honestly say the convention was relatively quite good.
most of the talks, videos, symposiums were in line with scripture if you have faith in the bible.

So they're saying "the overlapping generation of the first generation will not pass away until all these things occur" try explaining that out in the ministry
nowwhat? it is worse: the last anointed generation will pass away until, or before all these things occur. it is an indefensible contradiction of Jesus.
Jws are not aware of that, do not understand it, can not defend it, do not need to, because nobody cares.

Faithful and discreet “slave” is very apt name!
by venus ini found it difficult to digest the word (“slave”) jesus supposedly used to refer to his appointees on earth to dispense spiritual food on earth.
(mathew 24:45) why not a better word, something positive in view of the fact that jesus came to free us?
freedom is the absence of physical and mental boundaries or restrictions.

Jesus: "whoever wants to be first among you, must become your slave (not even "god's" appointed slave). That is a long way to governing body, buddy.

Lessons learned from the wife of lot drama
by purrpurr inthe video drama shown at the recent comvention was called "the wife of lot".
i noticed some stuble lessons being taught in this soap opera style video.... firstly, all the bad influence comes from women, its the wife and the mother in law whose pushing for more money and a better lifestyle.
while the men remain loyal to god, can't show the men going astray now can we?.

heart attack. They are on thin ice if the basis of their theology is him living into his 90s.
NY44M: Their theology demands constant urgency, a 911 call for Sanderson would be good news for wt.*** The anointed generation is ending! but it is the lean types like Fanatical Franz hidden in the woodworks worldwide that mean it really is set up to go past 2075.
WT's goal is not to have another 075 debacle.
*** and for "Jesus". sanderson: I am coming !

honesty
by midnight inregarding the recent 1975 video at the convention it hit me !.
when reasoning with people about the inspiration of the bible we used the bible writers candor ie/ there honesty when recording bible accounts about there personal mistakes .. how come the governing body despite its claims to be spirit directed are not honest about there mistakes ?.

...honesty when recording bible accounts about there personal mistakes .
WT errors are not personal mistakes. They are fabrications, their responsibility compounded by multiple acquisition. Even by our spreading them in the past.

UTC you said: So, contrary to what the GB are telling us, all 18013 in 2016 did the right thing. They are all correctly partaking as Christians should. The so called mistakers are in fact bravely rejecting ...
NO, IMO, partaking at the "Memorial" venue is accepting the conditions wt imposes, that you are a candidate for kingship. priesthood. It would be better to celebrate privately, if you believe you have to consume be saved.
