  Great teacher, to link the 2 threads, trees and camping. a lesson to learn: On one of our visits to the giant sequoias, we slept in their campground perched in one of their their steep sites. dry country. SLEPT WHERE THEY DID FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. awe inspiring. GT, MAKE THE TREES A MUST VISIT. AWE INSPIRING TO BE IN THE PRESENTS OF SUCH ANCIENT LIFE, THAT IS PARTNERS WITH US ANIMALS, BALANCING OXYGEN INTAKE BY US, with EXHALING BY THEM. AWSOME TO TOUCH LIFE THAT WAS LIVING IN MOSES' DAYS.

  camping there: can cap that.

  UNBELIEVABLE THAT IN CANADA THEY ARE CUTTING THE GIANT OLD GROWTH DOWN. police protecting the predators.

  if you want to know where it is, message me but i might not tell you if you have not been here long enough or i feel that i can’t trust you yet.

  do you have 24 hour grocery stores near you?

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  The wt's 1995 Great Crowd Hope idea can be illustrated as water particles that are lifted in a moving tidal wave, with high hopes, to crest, but that sinking low, , disappear in the froth, as the wave passes along in time. Only when the wave gets caught behind the breakwater, in the tidal pool, will it become the retained mass of the "great crowd,"

  The wave energy is the wt push for prosylation, service, service. service.

  preaching of empty promises. the next promise is the resurrection, but is it more believable than the failed fleeting first high hope of becoming part of the Great Crowd?

  But if you are looking for a major wt study article explaining the whole thing, JW don’t do things like that. Sometimes they do but sometimes wt gradually or subtly makes change such as the Awake article on earthquakes

  FM. yes to be precise, it was on page 31 of the April 15 wt mag. 1995 (to answer Proton's earlier question page 1). I still have it pasted in my 1984 study NWT. to show speakers that they are not following wt new light protocol. made me very popular.

  Regarding your interpretation of the Bible, there are many interpretations. We have to wait and see how everything plays out.

  Fisher man, My only hope is, that whatever is valid in the scriptures Rev 11:18 will happen. NIV: "-- Lord God-- you will destroy those destroying the Earth.", before it is too late and Isaiah 40 :31 " those that hope-- will soar on wings like eagles.".

  In the meantime it it is good to take note how wt doctrines , prophecies are unfulfillable.

  this tree is named after a general, because the us called in the army to protect these oldtimers; now wrapped in a fire proof blanket.

  (it has already a 4 feet fireproof bark).

  when will canada do the same, on it's west coast and brazil in the amazon?

  Nature did take its course and we evolved to destroy everything.

  DG: There are now 1000 people that have not fully evolved in Canada, that have been arrested by the Royal Canadian police, of all people, for protecting, and blocking access the killing fields of the last of these growing giants. Shame on the Royal cmp for that. A blotch on their record.

  nbd: re naming: A small grove has been named after the most voracious company that plundered all the rest. McMillan. Bloede[l] not a person of color but a black mark on Canada's legacy

  I don’t see much of difference in the context of the return of Christ.

  Fm: right, when the generation mentioned by Jesus passes on, after the big destruction, time will be up.

  The generation meaning has to be a group of people and not a time period.

  Actftu: Jesus was answering an Italian's, a gentil's question, it is not just one group, like Jewish people, or OS, or anointed jws. and

  Every generation, regardless of composition, has a shelf life. time [ing] is common to all of them. .
