sometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.
If: God now reassigning the angel that single-handedly identified and killed all the firstborn in Egypt to
head an angelic task force that is poised to instantly stop any impending rape, anywhere, and dispatch the culprit out of sight, instantly, permanently, no questions asked. and
those with them, that abate these atrocities.

Free choice without dire consequences is limited in nature by it's laws. Free choice in wt land with it's "kingdom government" and laws is limited by obedience too. Defy the laws? courageously?
thank you blondie, for wading through that morass first.

could you please introduce the phrase "spiritual generation" to replace the phrase "overlapping generation".
it would save us all a lot of confusion.. an online search of your publications dating back to 2000 showed that this term has never been used.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/s/r1/lp-e?q="spiritual+generation"&p=par.
The talking snake in the beginning of the story had overlapping scales. it would be fitting then, that the story ends with an overlapping generation.
WT has a history of coining names, The biblical "Israel of God" (Gal 6:16), resurfaced as "Spiritual Israel."
We anti- Nazis hat a saying in the 30s, 40s, taken from the Nazi anthem : " -im geiste mit-" marching along [only] in spirit, in other words: non existent. so:
go ahead, the imaginary, symbolic spiritual generation.

Jesus made a contrast between the shortness of time left for Jerusalem, and the length of the one generation in existence then, the then current generation, that would out last the temple.
that generation would be a composite spiritual congregation, of both anointed and others that survived the end. Any one who died before the end could not be part of "this generation". or?

The current last wt generation, the "overlapping anointed" will die before the end. but: Jesus said the last generation would not end. before all these things. so:
A spiritual generation would not be the last, not ending, but go on into eternity.? so
"Spiritual generation" would be a mis-nomer, could not possibly be synonymous with the current mal-defined "overlapping anointed generation" that ends before the end, at the beginning of the G.T.
the watchtower library is a great tool to learn more about the watchtower itself.
for example, answering the question "does the word "organization" ever appear in the bible"?
is easy to answer using it.
' LGBT--let every man be a liar,' The trailer they did not put on the cover of the "Let God be True " book. but should have, because
that proved so true when J1 and J2 ceased to be the the Superior Authorities.
i have some tricks to play.
i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!
wish me luck!.
I would guess the entire room would have no clue to the reference you would be making! Classic. p brow: Luke 21:24
I did not suggest that anybody actually do that, to use the memorial to advance their personal, (even "anti-wt") agenda, like the apostles did. but think of it, 11 in the audience actually starting an argument after the closing song? (you could excuse it as being a re-enactment of the actual event),

Actually, acting inappropriately at the event has a precedent:
At the Last Supper, the disciples argued about position, who was, or would be, the greatest among them.
But then, kpop, you are probably not a future Governing Body member, so, don't try to follow their example.

Col 1;13 " he transplanted us into The kingdom of His Son--" not the millennium kingdom, nor the wt kingdom of 1914, but the one that existed in the 1st century.
cant get rid of the non-quote yellow.
this judge ask the rape victim "why couldn't you just keep your knees together", wth.
he acquitted the man accused in the case after deciding his testimony was more credible.
story "canada judge resigns over "keep your knees together comment" and he later became a jw, he will make a good one.....
there is this new case in the maritimes, where a judge ruled against a rape accusation, saying that a drunk lady can give consent, and the police caught him with the panty of the lady in his hand. This time it is a provincial judge.
It is not a Canadian problem only, was not a US removed for giving a light sentence to a college major, that raped a drunk fellows student behind a dumpster? dum judges everywhere, and dumb ladies getting drunk, dumb men acting as dumb animals.
Capital punishment for rape should be instituted.
