  The Watch Tower Generation

  by waton in

  2. beliefs

  it so happens that my grandfather and i share the same birthday; -- this month.

  i lived with him from 1930 to ~ 1947. so, following the parenting pattern in our family, he would be born, be alive by ~ 1880, the same age as the "watchtower magazine" , therefore, you could say, we both lived in the wt era, right ?

  dare we say we belong to the wt generation,?.

  ike Methuselah, supposedly living for almost a thousand years.dtm:

  These very chaste people, did not have sons unul they were 80, 120 years old! but now, as mentioned in the OP, ---, with 20-30 years "overlap" , and condoms handed out in some primary schools---. anyway,

  wt magazine is ~140 year old, In my family. people living to nearly 100, a 30 year overlap each to make a 2 group wt generation.

  If groups dont overlap (or use contraceptives) they dont generate the next generation.

  I think David & co was pulling our legs. still does.

  stumbled upon this article - not that the wt society ever highlighted the date of 1975, but that was brothers running ahead... .

  w68 8/15 pp.

  494-501. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1968602#h=1:0 .

  believe it or not, David Splane has set up the setup for another "75" namely 2075.

  do the math, two 100, 101 year olds, overlapping by 20 years each, ( like Fredrick Franz ) = 161 years plus 1914 = 2075.

  1925 was a nice year too, with Abraham living in california.

  wt,s high fives.

  Our lives certainly overlapped, we just belonged to different groups.

  Do you realize that David Splane's overlapping centenarians ( Fred, Franz like oldsters) will cover a similar time span like our family? his wt generation from 1914 to 2075?

  It is great to have spend time in this universe.

  PS: In another write today I misspelled watchtower as watch rover, a freudian slip, wt writers are certainly all over the time scale, always have been, if you watch them.

  The final scene of "Carry on Nurse" comes to mind. D. Trump now playing the victim card, if he recovers, the conquering hero role.

  some never recover, permanent brain damage.

  given his age and weight, he is at very high risk of needing to be hospitalized.. trump is arguably the most well-protected man on earth, and he got it.. people.....wear a fruggin' mask!.

  It must be very re-assuring for Americans to know that their next president has acquired immunity to that plague.

  hopefully it will have a sobering effect on him ans his' too.

  Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

  i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

  what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

  may be because of this, -those on a counter current-, have removed the phrase " spirit directed" J - organization from the baptism question.

  change the spelling from 'orga niza tion' to 'orga nazi ton'.

  the switch has already happened. sadly.

  Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

  by minimus in

  they have predicted this for years.

  religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

  the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

  how about places where religions a-r-e the government? or state religions? or the state is worshipped as god?

  were they right? or will they be proven right? has never happened yet. governments are only turning against the religion of other countries. the latest Caucasus conflict, , Muslims against Orthodox, are basically religious conflicts.

  it would be a huge shift, like the film making technocrats in the wt corporation turning on the governing body.

  With all the booze inside him..he is lucky he didnt explode when he lit the match

  about that booze explosion, could not happen, but with enough fumes in his exhalation, he could be belching fire, which he of course did, with his condemnations.

  A scared man, fearing to be exposed by live bereans.
