does anyone know why the written review was stopped?
i relished the half hour silence they'd give you to "write down your answers", time i spend doodling or thinking up cool song lyrics..
It had that dangerous effect of making people think (to a certain degree). Good JW
very salient point. The hidden idea, that there might be alternate, better or deeper answers, or wrong answers, that with new light would become, -turn out to be- right, must have troubled a few wt writers. Even in math, you have some equations, with more than one unknown that have more than one correct answer. and
there are a lot of unknowns is wt math/myth land.
please could someone explain to me what the generation thing i keep seeing in people's threads was that had lots of people leave the wts coz it was way before i became a witness.
at the root of it all is Jesus singling out a generation that would not pass away until all his endtime prophecies would be fulfilled, all these things have occurred.
Wt is still trying to find that generation
Cclue: it is not the anointed)

here is a try: The questions were bible based, and the bible, they know raises too many unanswered questions, ' they dread the ones coming up: : a generation is
a) the period between mother and daughter giving birth, like in genealogies,
b) the combined ages of a contemporaneous patriarchs or
c) in modern times, overlapping groups. oops!
david splane explains newest understanding" of 'this generation" adding a 3rd group.... .
WT "this generation" teaching stands valid based on the definition of generation as wt applies the definition to the 2 annointed groups. And that's that. Fisherman:
indeed, and that will have the overlapping group lapse by about 2075. Mark David Splan's words.
In addition to the wt definition there are of course these pesky bible facts about them:
1) there is more to spiritual Israel's tribes then the marked 144k, (they come out of them)
2) they are male virgins, not surprising, their sponsor, Jesus was too.
3) they have to die a sacrificial death, axed, literally. No euthanasia, morphine-eased slipping away here. Rev. 20
4) they can not pass away until all things have occurred.
wt has always played wild and loose with bible facts. always came back to bite them later. All of Deutr. 18 is yet to be fully applied.
this was the first part in the "living as christians" section of the meeting tonight.
speaker had two pioneers on the stage to relate their outstanding experiences for 2017. we have 23 pioneers and over 160 publishers in the hall.
our territory is densely populated with single family houses, apartments and condominiums.
same here. the stark contrast is the hyped up video and live demonstration of field service, Unrealistic, no sane house holder would put up with this, after years of the artificial theater like this, not one service related growth experience, gross.
so, i'm in a starbucks.
it's 5:45 pm.
this kid who is maybe 6 years old yells, "mom, my tablet is fully charged any my phone is at 84%!".
cheap phones for his one and two year olds to watch cartoons in the car.
with self driving cars here, in this new world (without wt blessing), the driver will be abls to join them in the screen play. . what a waste of good time, that could be used living your own life.
Even on a boring 10hour flight, you could take in the endlessly changing world from a window seat, looking at the planet from a new perspective. rather staring at the screen in front of you, but just mho.

Applying the prophesy to the "anointed," the present "this generation" teaching conforms to such definition. Fisherman
here is another reason why the anointed generation does not conform to the prophecy of Jesus at all:
Math 24. :22. " In fact, unless these days would be cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen [anointed] [sealed] ones, those days will be cut short." smell the fishy here?
The anointed flesh will not, should never be saved. It can not inherit the heavenly kingdom. wt teaches now, that the last partakers' bodies will be disposed of by angels, like they did with Jesus'. It is the OSheep's flesh that has to be saved.
wt wrong on all counts. particularly where it counts, doctrine.
so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.
The thought that all of this beautiful, productive life which covers the Planet just came into existence without an extremely intelligent guiding hand is incomprehensible. Old Navy:
Unless the originator of the process is so advanced, that the initial setup guaranteed that the function, and ingredients will automatically bring results, good, bad and whatever. without any further fiddelling.
these bible stories are too silly to be true.
take off your rose colored glasses and you will begin to see some great imagination, exaggeration and great story telling!.
telling !.
The current midweek "book" study of the two impossible ladies, one a certified virgin, the other beyond menopause and both pregnant. leaves some speechless, gives you pause to think.

Actually the chart isn't too far off, there is a third group of anointed, that co-incide with your third group in position except they're not - yet - part of "this generation". Ds:
Living contemporaneously with the partakers are of course a whole slew of humans. some past 117 years and counting. Only past 2055 will wt have to look for new recruits to overlap the 2 nd group that are slated to live to 2075, as of current wt teachings.
