it's almost 2018, almost 100 years since 'judge' rutherford confidently prophesied that 'millions now living will never die!'..
so how many of those millions are left?
well, since it was 100 years ago, all we need to do is find out how many people of age 100 and above are currently living.
To survive, never die, you have to be a baptized Watch Tower subscriber [to doctrine] in good standing or a toddler of one of them.
How many faithful centenarians are there among the ~8000k members? even the overlappers? dont forget, all members in 1918 were of the partaker class. How could they go to heaven but never die? The doctrine was not even wrong. like the anointed generation now.
The offshoot, The general generation of OS is overlapping too.
the report is finally out.......... ————————.
recommendations to the jehovah’s witness organisation.
recommendation 16.27. the jehovah’s witness organisation should abandon its application of the two-witness rule in cases involving complaints of child sexual abuse.. recommendation 16.28. the jehovah’s witness organisation on should revise its policies so that women are involved in processes related to invesation and determining allegations of child sexual abuse.. recommendation 16.29. the jehovah’s witness organisation should no longer require its members to shun those who disassociate from the organisation in cases where the reason for disassocia on is related to a person being a victim of child sexual abuse..
recommendation for the Roman Catholics: scrap mandatory celibacy for priests, (to give them a sexual outlet) make confessional (The one witness rule) open to reporting. More severe imho, than witness directed changes sought.

... and lose his soul.
" when jws came to my house years ago to instruct me on "what the bible really teaches", i gathered from the text that doctrine made a distinction between humans and spirits such as angels.
the belief in a bodily resurrection made the notion of a soul either redundant or something that would be extinguished.
kepler: "--This suggests that somehow we are to be transformed like caterpillars into butterflies.
Excepts that is the reverse than the resurrection, which is butterflies into caterpillars, because
Butterflies procreate, not the caterpillars. Angels have wings though, but to procreate they have to shed them to marry, like they did, before the flood.
kepler be careful, your famous name forbearer Johannes K , was disfellowshipped for bible question quests.
hi i've been a jw for 12 years and got married 2 years ago.
i'm now separated.
my husband hid from me that he suffered from depression, extreme anxiety issues and a personality disorder.
do whatever you think is necessary to continue serving Jehovah. Move far away from --
the idea that your life should be focussed on the wt slavery aka serving god. You are doing yourself a disservice that way. Sooner or later this former torturer of yours will succumb to the urging of his hormones, and you would be wt free to remarry. but why let yourself be ruled by those artificial, even barely biblical rules?
Your trouble is, you might seek out (without realizing it) the same personality type again. Take advice of many counsellors.
i had long held the piece of the jigsaw puzzle which starts at genesis 2:4b – the yahwist’s creation story.
i knew that its authors had never heard of lamarck’s theory of evolution, nor had they read darwin’s “origin of species”.
the authors were addressing their own immediate culture, so i had to transport my mind to their times.
To think that wt doctrine is but a spinoff of these nebulous attempts to explain existence.
in an all cash transaction, disney has purchased every share in the watch tower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, inc.. their most recent in a slew of acquisitions including pixar, the muppets, marvel, lucasfilm and most recently 20th century fox, disney plans to "leverage their preexisting infrastructure and fan-base" for future content.. removing robert ciranko, who took over for don alden adams in 2014, disney is installing as president john lasseter, who already helms both disney and pixar's animation studios.
recently disgraced and on leave for allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, disney said he was "just perfect" for the job.. plans include making yearly theatrical films with post-credits scenes as part of a crossover shared universe with preexisting watchtower film characters like caleb and sophia, the prodigal son, the roman family and the bad worldy boy from school (with nicholas king reprising and expanding his role), as well as an educational disney jr. show, "little chuck", aimed at toddler's, hosted by a young version of ct russell sporting a pretend beard..
let the show go on , with this photo drama of fake news creativity.
i just saw the video below and thought 'no way' !!!.
but then given the obsessive amount of rules they have, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that this was at least considered.
if there is some credibility to this, then they most certainly have gone beyond the pale!.
sorry misread without clean glasses overweight for overnight, like motel. took it down, although funny.
