  i remember when that came out, my mother didn't catch it in the original article in the wt.

  it was in one of the review "do you remember" thingies that she caught it.

  she asked me if it means what she thought it meant.

  Jack Barr died December 4, 2010.

  Ordinary wt anointed overlappers are not barred from the generation, even if they are not of the GB.

  Although David Splane gave Fred Franz's as an age example , he admitted there would be older ordinary anointed, both in the 1914 group and the overlapping little flock.

  Taking him by his word, from 1992, the year of Franz's departure, or later, there would be more than 80 years after that.so,

  Not only is the dual group generation a brazen redefining of the terms, looking at the age of the players involved, stretches it on and on. Besides,

  The generation can not be the anointed, nor the other sheep.

  God is in no necessity to communicate with mankind

  here is an interesting incident reported in the bible.. judah (the fourth son of jacob), the founder of the israelite tribe of judah, slept with her daughter-in-law tamar when she showed herself up as a prostitute in disguise.

  (genesis 38:16, 17) “about three months later judah was told: "your daughter-in-law tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.

  " judah said, "bring her out and have her burned to death!

  How come for the first 2000 years since creation God/Jehovah never recorded or had written down by anyone including Noah or any of his sons that historical record

  How come for the first 30 years nobody was prodded from above to put what was supposed to be the beginning of the final act aka New testament, into writing either?

  let it stew and ferment first?

  PS: it might be all BS, but obviously if there is a creator, he, wants us to retro engineer everything, she knows, there is no better way to learn,-- except through humour.

  Do the psalms not say "--God is laughing--"?

  Thousands of Rohingya rape victims expected to give birth ctvnews.ca

  hate to go off topic, but since this is an all serious news rant.

  Here we have tens of thousands of rape victims giving birth in refugee camps.Help should be given,These are Muslim ladies, and there is big money in that large community. and then a compulsory genetic testing of all possible suspects, and an eradication of the perpetrators.

  If every company was like starbucks amazon and google governments and councils would go bust.The only way that the police army navy are paid for is by taxes.

  Perhaps Europe, and North America have more "slackers" on their pay roll than soldiers.

  at least the big army of wt slaves are supposed to be self sustained, but are they not subsidized too?

  What about all the multinational companys that hardly pay any tax at all.

  The likes of google create oodles of jobs, are creative, their workers pay taxes,* . which can not be said for the artful livers off unwitting, unwilling hosts.

  let him who does not want to work---

  *Governments can not get enough of the googles, musks, Amazons. Creativity should be rewarded more, sloth punished.

  we have Knorr to thank ( or is it to blame ) for allowing Ted Jaracz to get back in the traveling work if he "got married " . Hmm. Wonder why Knorr wanted Jaracz to " get married " ? So he wouldn't commit any more " moral flaws " ?

  not wanting to put water on the rumour water wheel, but was that not the modus operandi with the Percy Chapman "solution" in the Canadian Bethel, that was also graced at one time with Leo Greenlee's presence?

  Marriage perhaps not to let off steam, but create an image that seems "normal".

  Meghan Markle Will Omit 'Obey' from Her Wedding Vows to Prince Harry

  by AFRIKANMAN in

  when meghan markle says her royal wedding vows to prince harry on saturday, she’ll be following in the footsteps of princess diana and kate middleton by choosing to omit the traditional promise to “obey” her husband, the palace confirms.. during the ceremony, officiated by archbishop of canterbury justin welby, meghan will tell her royal groom: “i meghan, take you, harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to god’s holy law.

  in the presence of god i make this vow.”.

  the decision doesn’t come as a surprise: meghan has long been a vocal feminist, working with organizations like one world vision to learn about the challenges facing women and girls living in dubai and mumbai.

  just thinking. not only Markle, but Merkel too, was not putting obedience to her husband at the top of the list.Queeen Victoria would be proud of them both.

  Hospitality - How not to.....March 2018 study article.

  what do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.

  2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.

  4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.

  "-- to those whom they already knew and associated with. ---- them?--"

  I think wt meant a narrower definition: Your clique in the congregation, circuit.
