The big difference is how they want to be nice to unbelieving mates (even recognising the legal right of an unbelieving husband to "call the shots" in the family), but all that does not apply to disfellowshipped, DAed, other family members, they are to be treated in the rudest unchristian manner.

10Little mindmines in the Oct. 2017
by days of future passed init is difficult for me to say exactly what i mean on this subject.
my sister sent me a link to the oct, 2017 wt simplified article (which has been discussed about the shunning) and i found it disturbing of course, how the wt gives advice, different for each sex, along with the "unbelieving" mate dissing.. wt - although an unbelieving husband may not take the lead in spiritual matters, he should be respected because of his position as the head of the family.
likewise, an unbelieving wife should be shown self-sacrificing love and tender affection by her christian husband.—eph.

The International Space Station passing Overhead At 10:22 pm ESDST Lakes entrance Victoria Australia.
by smiddy3 init`s always a buzz to see this with the naked eye and know that their are human beings orbiting the earth a couple of hundred miles up every 90 minutes or so .. the wife and i were just sitting out on our porch/patio waiting for the cool change to arrive when i noticed this "star" moving across the sky in a se/nw (?
) direction { i hope that`s right }.
anyhow i thought some others on here may be interested in tracking the iss from time to time.. by the way the cool change hasn`t arrived here yet it`s still quite warm though not as hot as it was today at 41 deg c.

This, of course, is a hoax. NASA has been flying planes 24-7 over populated areas exactly where the ISS should be found in the night sky. MMM:
that shows you how desperate Nasa is to maintain, hide the flat earth, no moon landing, ufo, truths. These planes with their fake extended solar panels configuration resemble the first attempts at flight, very unstable. just waiting for more powerful magnification to expose them anyway. another trump embarrassment to come twittering along.
Planes have blinking lights, ISS shines brightly, the Sun does not blink.

Women must not instruct men, even by singing a theocratic song.
by Ultimate Axiom ini did a quick search and this doesn’t appear to have been commented on here, but if it has been, i apologise in advance for starting an unnecessary thread.. regarding a change to a song title, the study article on page 7 paragraph 17 of november 2017 watchtower explained, “the change of the title “guard your heart” to “we guard our hearts” was most considerate.
in the audience at our meetings, assemblies, and conventions are many new ones, interested ones, young ones, and sisters who by singing the words would be put in the awkward position of telling others what to do.
so the title and the lyrics were modified.”.

taken together with the avalanche of now fashionable sexual interference revelations, (check your daily resignation roster), The evisceration of the males' evolution-derived pro-sex attitude is in full swing. Wt actually provides more microphone-amplifier time to the female voices than most religions, by number. No Catholic or Muslim voices there.
ladies be grateful to wt. The coveted Micro***-phone servant positions are all to mostly serve you.
***to show how miniscule a coveted privilege can be.

Allow this as ole Franz to explain it: pale emperor. (eminence grise)
thanks for putting up that witness video.
Here is what D.S is saying.
ole Franz, not the oldest, but 21 in 1914 died in 1992. so an older one might have died in 94.
Another, now living, but older Franz-ike anointed, overlapping at 21 with the original *** ole franz would be ~48 today, live to 2074. note!!!
the generation stops at the start of the Great Tribulation. the second groups timeline of the chart, ends at the line, before all these things occur, really get going! but remember,
Jesus said the generation would not pass before all these things, the GT, the big A,- occur, in other words the generation would pass, die later! so,
even without the overlap, that anointed generation is bogus, because what jesus said. so,
if not the anointed sheep, is the generation the Other Sheep? no, that could not be it either, -because
Jesus said the generation would pass away or die, but not until--- and of course wt teaches that millions of OS now living will never die.
thank you for putting your foot in that, for the record, david.
*** pun intended, because he was an original.

Whatever happened to the "written review"?
by pale.emperor indoes 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.

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!

Matthew 24:34 NEW UNDERSTANDING (January 2018 JW Broadcasting)
by Alfred indavid 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.

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.
