  The jewish people, the Einsteins, Goldbergs, Borns, were the smartest of all the German speakers. unlikely that a kraut would outsmart them.

  There are no hillsides, Catholic villages with cathedrals near Berlin, Luther's country.

  MAY BE THE GOOD RABBI WAS BLIND AND DEAF?

  good try though! There was a German author Karl May, he wrote captivating stories about Cowboys and Indians, before he ever set foot in Nord Amerika, best sellers in the millions.

  i was wondering about this.

  if california or other far left groups in charge would push for making pedophiles quote normal unquote.

  so it passed but has yet to be signed by newsom.

  It is age discrimination, why punish a 81 year old more than an 18 year old? or 17 versus 71?

  How Often is 1914 Openly Spoken of at the Meetings?

  by Number 6 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as someone who left in 1991 aged 21, one of my overriding memories of growing up in the watchtower was being able to "prove" the end times by referencing 1914.. major change in 95 then again after that.

  if i'm being honest i could not even tell you now what the current teaching is.. for those who still attend the meetings, is it still openly spoken about?

  i genuinely curious as i wonder if the teaching will be altogher dropped eventually, and one of the easiest ways to achieve that is to stop speaking about it.

  certainly not in the after the program clique banter. The last thing, for true believers is to be reminded that it is all a chimera.

  1014 ? the only date where anything, but the wrong thing happened, the others:

  1918 : campaign " ---millions now living will never die"

  1919: appointment of wt as F& DS

  1925: Abraham, Moses & co moving into California wt mansion.

  1975: beginning of 1000 Year Reich

  2000: end of ~ biblical normal human lifespan of ~75 years (threescore or/and ten averaged out). since 1914.

  2075: end of overlapping of 2 centenarians ( 2 x 100 minus 20 years overlaps each). since 1914, F.Franz the middleman's death in 19192. .

  No, midweek meetings are the same text repeated 3 times for the last months:

  "The dead know nothing at all" . the death scare, disguised as practise for "good news" field service.

  REVISITING Awake October 1968 and the "THIS GENERATION" in association with OVERLAPPING GENERATION and THESE GENERATIONS

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the former image was obtained from a topic in the humor and joke section of this platform and it seems to carry a underground information that is equally powerful.. since a food company had been producing a particular product for four generations since 1914, how come the wtbts publishing company are still producing for a one generation since 1914?.

  awake october 1968 stated............ even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of "this generation" nearly 70 years old today(year 1968).

  so the great majority of the generation to which jesus was referring has already passed away in death.

  The irony is, that naturally overlapping generations have exponential growths.

  wt's partakers' count fits that pattern too, contrary to all expectations for these final of the last days.

  Rev11:18 non religious fulfilment

  i took "the truth" because of this one text, unknown to me: .

  "god" will destroy those destroying the earth.

  religions have trotted out the deluge, tower of babel as precedents, that never really happened.

  But humankind survived to today, because of real past cataclysms such as

  the distinction of the dinosaurs done by external forces, asteroid strikes or from exploding stars. so, looking strictly at the sciences,

  Hope that the shrew[d], minimal offenders will survive again.

  White don’t make you right.

  SB. right, but looking at the African birth rate, there are fewer male virgins there than in Europe. You can perhaps squeeze >6 overlapping generations there into the last 100 years.

  And remember, Jesus said that the end of this wicked world would come before that generation passed away in death. This, of itself, tells us --

  Here is where wt really lost it, about survival at Armageddon, their big promise, because :

  The generation is now officially the wt anointed (I think pictured above). Apart from the "overlapping partaker group" bible twisting,

  wt's current new light is, that partakers will pass away before the end occurs, not that the end occurs before their passing away.

  Think about that: wt is contradicting Jesus on survival.

  Jesus: gen, will die after "all these things"

  wt: will pass away before Armageddon (at the beginning of the Great Tribulation). so:

  wt Prophecy about survival at Armageddon is wrong already, before we even have to wait for it to roll around , perhaps in 2075.

  Not just the dairy firms. How about the elder makers? Appointing their sons, need-greaters as Overseers? under 23 years old?

  I would love to do take on one or two local specimen in a "sptitual", bible based discussion. so:

  do the math: ~ 1930 to 2020 = 90: 4 =~ 23.

  As a starter, I would remind that wt appointee, that I could be his great -great grand father.

  4 generations of sheep shearers, goat cheese makers since 1914.

  then i would proceed to make mince meat in that debate.
