My jaw dropping OMG moment at the end of the convention
by UnshackleTheChains inyes folks.
over the past few days i can honestly say the convention was relatively quite good.
most of the talks, videos, symposiums were in line with scripture if you have faith in the bible.

even mentions the generation and refers to brother Splanes very good explanation and diagram --"
UtC: according to that diagram, the overlapper similar or older that F. Franz would now be < 39 years old. doing the math:
Franz died in 1992 , age ~98. "serving" 78 years in the anointed generation since 1914, starting < 20 years since his birth. A similar partaker, , aged 20 years at Frederik's death, born in 1978 would be 39 years old now. living out his life, with improvements would bring us to 2075. David put that proviso in his talk, allowing for older anointed overlapping whether they like it or not.
The standard, no fake partaker, serious anointed like Franz is now 39 or less years old. and Jesus said that
"the tribulation will be cut short to save some flesh." No anointed flesh will be saved, they will be gone at the onset of the GT. axed. (Rev 20 ) . to leave the GC to be the generation after all. and these can overlap naturally, unlike the Freddies of this world.
PS: If only the amazing flood would not have left the talking snakes speechless....

Anyone interested in their ashes on the moon?
by James Mixon infor only $12,500.00 your ashes can be put on the moon or $5,000 for a burial in low-earth orbit, where a travel-shampoo-size urn can spin for years at 17,000 mph until it gradually descends into the white-hot re-entry atmosphere.they hope to have a cemetery on the moon complete with plots and ceremonial adornments..just think every time it's a full moon you look up in the sky and you will always see you love one.
a thought, you are resurrected on the moon.....

Splane's diagram illustrating overlapping generations Ding:
Why is that stupid of him to use that diagram? because
in It he showed that the generation passes away at the onset of the Great Tribulation, --contradicting Jesus who said: the generation would not pass away, see it all, the end, the reward of the sheep.
If you contradict Jesus, you fiancee, you got some ex-splane-ing to do, you might end up to be an ex,--- period.

Jupiter protects the earth... another example of intellectual dishonesty and an argument against design
by cognisonance ini'm taking a university astronomy course, and i must say it's really fun to read about this field.
anyway, i remember the jws used to use jupiter (and probably still do) as an example for how unique and special our solar system is (and thus designed) -- namely, that jupiter protects the earth from astroids, comets, and meteors.
convincing if one doesn't know any better, especially circa 1994 when jupiter stepped in front of a comet for us... but this isn't the full story!

passing my time productively at the meeting today, it occurred to me that Jupiter resembles a perfect wheel, no "rubbing on the pavement".
The turning velocity at the equator, counterclockwise is the same as the movement forward in orbit, but in the opposite direction* so that big mass is neutral, or establishing a zero shear in the inner planetary field. * as seen from our viewpoint.
Earth and Venus, the closest planets have a similar situation, being counter rotating twins,

FuJ: That one true wire spoke would be useless unless the other false ones gave the combined tension to have it function., making the true religion not a pillar of truth but dependent on all the others. wt truly is just one of the many pulling in all directions.
JWs on an exercise bike, never going anywhere, from date to date.

The tacking of His Majesty's Sailing Vessel the "Watchtower" registered in Brooklyn NY.
The doctrinal changes were compared by the wt writer, Klein to the tacking of a sailing vessel in its effort to reach her destination. the rub?
Only if you steer against the wind (pneuma aka HS), is there need to tack. very appropriate though, because wt is getting ever farther from the goal for the jws, now set at ~ 2075. The tacks becoming ever tackier, overlapping supposed final leg.

1975 - JWs in other countries, not just the U.S. also knew about the prediction
by deegee ini have been wondering, if the 1975 prediction was just a rumour started by the rank & file as the wt claims, then how did jws in other countries, a part from the u.s., also come to know about the prediction?.
i started studying with the jws during the 80s when i was a child.
while attending one of my first meetings during that time, a brother commented during the wt study that armageddon did not come in 1975 because it was not known how many years after adam, eve was created.. at the time, i hadn't a clue what the guy was talking about.

via the Severn estuary. On the journey home, the ferry was packed with JW's and the talk was of little else.
sb: At that time there were two waves surfed on the Severn, the tidal bore coming in, and then the big wave that swept through the "waters" of the wt domain, energising the people, and giving wt a good, surprising ride.

Of all the bible characters would you like any as a friend ?

Joseph, the quintessential whistleblower. I like to let him loose in the WTBTS. like one of the 12 , I mean 7, or 8, hear his story, and how wt deals with him. and then
the seven coming crawling back, begging for food at the proper time. .......
ps: remember he got 2 tribes in the Rev. 7 line up as a reward for such un-organisation-like behaviour, putting truth, freedom of expression over solidarity. Having such a friend would give you bragging rights in the cong, better than having b&bd a GB member.More importantly,
Joseph's example might induce others to come forward with goodies, being tempted by getting 17 % votes in the general meeting. or the equivalent of choice.

1975 and the burning question/s??
by UnshackleTheChains inok. so i'm sitting there at the convention.
the video comes up about 1975 and the fact that the faithful brother in the video maintained his faith in the bible by adhering to the scripture that says:.
'no one knows the day or the hour as to when the lord is coming'.

This "overlapping annointed" idea was to cover our tracks for the 1914 "generation", which we used to keep the hype going post-1975. Problem is, now the annointed are increasing we're realizing that the "144,000" isn't literal. Each new "solution" creates another problem, you know what I mean?
AnthonyMtT: yeah, This 1975 video could be a wt tactic like the ink puff of an octopus, creating a false target in the hope to escape. Wt getting away with past ink?
More than 144 000 partakers before 2075? of course, it is not that the number is not literal, it is that the whole Other Sheep, partaking, "Israel of God" definition is wrong, and irrelevant. stay spiritually strong!
