Did pioneers get cheaper meal tickets at conventions too at some point?
sbf: yes, free meal tickets for full time "servants". meals were a great fundraiser, basically financed the circuit overseer's car for the 4 month interval. imagine the operation for 250 000 in 1958, yankee stadium and Polo Grounds, NY city. .

Has the governing body been had by the 'superior Authorities'?
Up into the 1960s, The superior authorities were The Father and the Son (Jesus.)
Yes wt leadership was had by them. J&j never supported wt leadership in their wild prediction, what they bound on earth, in their bound volumes, was never bound in heaven.
let us see whether the overlapped groups will have played out by 2075 as the math demands.

William Shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like it-------Why?
by pistolpete ini can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.
is it genetic?
is it lifestyle.

we over 90 year olds are a happy lot, and in no hurry to end a trip, I wonder whether Shatner approached Musk to get a berth on the 3 day orbit deal instead? perhaps Musk, was not a s---war fan either. Well, Bezos has bigger windows

1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, 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.

the GC survives into the Millennium on earth. What WT seems to imply though is that today’s JW are the GC collectively and will survive the GT. bold added/
F: current wt writers have strayed even further from "bible truth". The passage in Rev 7 says "come out of" not survive, that wording suggests, that the great crowd is the product of the GT.
In the 1950s we taught that. Meaning, that The GT had started in 1914, was interrupted (shortened) in 1918, and will resume at Armageddon. remember, too,
The Gt will be "shortened, so some flesh will be saved" that is obviously not referring to the "anointed", who can't wait to leave the flesh behind and answer the upward call.
You can not come out of something that does not exist yet. There is no 12 in a crowd. I mean can you think of a more organized, stratified society than the wt society?
