There is a difference between standing on a circle and balancing a convex surface below your feet.'dropping away over the horizon to your antipodes.

According to Rev, 20:4 the rulers in heaven will have been killed by the axe, (modern version: Guillotine, falling axe) for championing "Jesus" so, morphine assisted euthanasia ( good death) in a wt compound will disqualify you from ruling. rude, but scriptural.

lets face it, the bible was written, proofread, sorted, canonized by unreformed Flat Earthers. from A-Z.

the moon looks like a circle
F: The moon looks like a circle only during a full moon, like at last August 21's eclipse. at other times, its 3 dimensional shape is clearly seen, waxing and waning, by the changing curvature of the terminator.
Scriptural inference of a disk shaped earth? Satan's temptation event, from previous quotation of a circle ( this was a bible quotation contest after all) a circle, an exceedingly high mountain there, on a clear day would have allowed him to show the carpenter all the kingdoms of the Earth, particularly to one gifted with perfect vision.
The bible seems to vacillate between a disk and a 4 cornered square, both pictured most readily in an apparent plane.
re: Greek geek shadow measurements of the globe size, even on a flat disk, the shadow cast is of different length on a flat Earth too, not just a globe. But even from a modest mountain one can measure the distance angle of the horizon below and arrive at the diameter that way. from My upper window,100 m high, the water's horizon is 30-40 km away, half that from the ground floor. imo.
The bible was not written by coastal dwellers, or proofread by a creator that cares for the veracity , clarity of HIS word.

The Great Pyramid and the Flood of Noah
by TerryWalstrom inthe great pyramid and the flood of noah.
_________________________________if your world view rests firmly upon the foundation of bible accuracy matching the reality of history, sooner or later you’ll crash into the question of when the great pyramid was built.why?let’s see why…2 peter 3:5-6 complete jewish bible (cjb).
5 but, wanting so much to be right about this, they overlook the fact that it was by god’s word that long ago there were heavens, and there was land which arose out of water and existed between the waters, 6 and that by means of these things the world of that time was flooded with water and destroyed.________________________________________________.

from the humour section:
The Pyramids were actually build during, coinciding with the great flood ( aprox. 2700 BC.) Stone weights 1/3 less in water, requires only little floatation assistance. the big stones were lifted, floated into place as the waters rose and fell. Great timing was required, an art that is totally lost on wt. latter day myth builders.

to answer my own question: Wt could maintain, that any partaker under 54 years.....
sorry, accept my correction please: The gold standard anointed overlapper would be only 46 years old today. how to verify? :
Frederik Franz was 21 in 1914. his modern counterpart would be born in 1971, be 21 in 1992, FF's year of death. That then 21 year old anointed bethelite would be 46 years young this year, attending the GSM. and looking forward to live to nearly 2075***, to celebrate the 1975 centennial. ha ha.
Any partaker over 36-46 year old is potentially a legitimate second grouper, wt's denial notwithstanding.
Wt is wrong to rush the end based on partaker couts. If an "anointed" gets the HS at baptism, as was customary in apostolic times, that 21 year old could be instead a pre-teen jw baptismal candidate customary today, so, make that 36.
***David Splane opined that Frederik Franz would be no means the longest living anointed of the under- and overlapping groups.

according to the bible prophecies, future mankind will be regressing in scientific insights. proof: after the thousand years, and restored Eden-like perfection, the earth will have 4 corners again to accommodate the nations. if flat again, it will be a square, rectangle, if 3 dimensional (an advancement, or a nearly forgotten remnant from the 3d era knowledge), -- a triangle pyramid. ha ha.

Gorby, thanks, can you expand on the "current partakers notin 2nd group?
to answer my own question: Wt could maintain, that any partaker under 54 years old, could not be of the 2nd group, because that is how old F.Fransz (their gold anointed standard) was, when he overlapped the pre 1914 anointed. who have obviously been overlapping since Pentecost 033. ha ha.

Voyager 1 & 2 40th Anniversary of their Lift Off
by smiddy3 infourty years ago nasa sent two probes that were to go on a mission ,voyager 1 and voyager 2 in two trajectories through our solar system getting what information they could from the planets they passed close by.. 40 years later they surpassed all expectations and are still sending signals back to earth.. voyager 1 has actually gone into what is termed interstellar space that is it has exited our solar system free from the constraints of our own sun having travelled some 13 billion miles from earth.
voyager 2 which was on a different trajectory will soon itself leave our solar system and go into interstella space having travelled some 11 billion miles from earth so far.. both of these satellites/probes carry messages from the world of humans / governments to whoever might find it (alien life forms ) if they exist and find these probes.. my attention is drawn to the bible account of the tower of babel which really couldn`t have been that high seriously.and yet jehovah god felt threatened by what man could achieve if they had one universal language ?.
what must he be thinking now i wonder ?.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.sb: not just Jehovah, Jesus too, should take note, Because Satan, having been confined as wt teaches, since 1914 to the Earth, now attempting & extending, reconquer his realm via Nasa. Soyus, back into the universe and Jesus, enthroned, even now having 132 000 resurrected immortal warriors, not reacting, with hundreds af millions of angels ready to destroy those drones?
do we see the smiling approval of the real creator?
