what happened after jesus zoomed up into the sky?for a while, he was expected to return rather quickly.in the meantime, there was the “great commission” and evangelism to be tended to.. the jesus believers were meeting in people's homes.
members of that community would take turns using private homes to gather.
thus, they went house to house.. these footstep tracers of jesus (they called themselves akolouthontes "followers" or some called themselves mathetai or "learners.
Hopefully the materialized body reached escape velocities*** to travel to "The Throne", shed the "flesh and blood that can not inherit the kingdom" , present the "ransom value" and get back 10 days later for Pentecost, to present the "sign", the HS, still hot from re-entry, like flames.

canada, province of quebec : class action lawsuit filed against the watchtower about the pedophilia issue.
it is now official.
see the articles in french of today:.
That is a small, isolated seed to start by Ms Blais. The Amos QC (congregation)? must be the last before the North Pole.?
2 earthquakes in less than a month.... witnesses are going to have a field day with this... bounce back from that decline.....
Schadenfreude
siar: Message to jws: "Do not rejoice in the misery of your enemy, for the one in the heavens is watching" , somewhere in Proverbs, Ecclesiastes.
Schaden = damage, typical in Earthquakes.-- Freude, = rejoicing, pleasure.
on another thread, shadow asked pimojw, a newbie still serving in a congregation, "how about the overlapping generation?
do you know anyone who actually believes that?
"answer was "no i dont!
does anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?
i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.
i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.

EOHB: It would be easy, just declare the "12 Tribes of Israel" in Mat. 19:18 and Rev. 7:4-9, - that are now pegged at the "Earthly Hope" -, to be The Israel of God, aka Spiritual Israel. Then all the 12 tribes would be in the New Covenant, and voila, all partaker! but that would be too simple.

I ask those going in the "service": are you preaching the overlapping generation? some are not even aware that this is the doctrine they are supposed to front. They are not even aware ( forgotten and buried) that it is a current wt teaching. but are zealous.
Have you noticed that wt teaches now that the generation will pass away, rather than not pass away.? May be they can therefore say in the future that the generation has already passed away?

ok ezekiel 34:26-27 says there will be seasons.
so if you have rain in higher elevation it will turn to snow, you will have deserts, waterfalls ,high peaks and snowstorms and these can cause pain and death.
will one die from sking down the side of a mountain( if they have the time in paradise) at 30 miles an hour and run into a tree, if one end up in a snow storm 40 below in your wagon(no cars) will you die???
Bible miracles by Jesus, who also endorsed the Jonah story, are proofs of what will happen in paradise. Jonah's fish's characteristics will be standard on a worldwide scale. White Sharks might be patrolling the waters off the beaches as adjuncts to life guards. Sharp teeth to make sure that the rescued swimmers are safely delivered to shore.
No need for guardian angels, White Sharks, Grizzlies, on the slopes will do it.
Paradise dwellers will be assigned by wt. pray it will be near surf and high snow covered mountains. (if any place is left after the Elder families stake their claim.) The stake is not a wt symbol for nothing! ha ha.

With good conditions, in Hawaii, you can surf and then snowboard (skiing is for Republicans) the same day. that is paradise. being perfect will allow you to do all kinds of things. It is not immortality, but everlasting life, grudgingly granted only after 1000+ years of wt drudging, should be protected by guarding angels. right?
