how are they handling the memorial this year?
zoom or open kh's?
how do they reject the wine & bread in their own home?
where does it say that people who do not partake have to touch the emblems at allrv 2000
when you think about it, the "other sheep"= jw non-partakers need the emblems more that the "anointed". the anointed will die to go to heaven, (pay the price) but the OS will never die at all, so they need the new covenant to have their sins really forgiven to keep living.
that is why Jesus passed the emblems to people with an earthly hope, that were un-anointed to eat and drink. not to wink.
gen 1: 11 says: .
11 then god said, “let the earth sprout [j]vegetation, [k]plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit according to [l]their kind [m]with seed in them”; and it was so.
12 the earth produced [n]vegetation, [o]plants yielding seed according to [p]their kind, and trees bearing fruit [q]with seed in them, according to [r]their kind; and god saw that it was good.
all the springs of the great deep burst forth, NIV
Bobcat thanks for the reminder. kind of like a super "old faithful" letting go ~ 5000 years ago. like the earth in hot anger blowing it. now all that 9 km of water cap back in the porous mantle.
not only the talking snakes were left speechless.
i have heard a few whispers that once again they are going to be changing the generation teaching.
does anybody have on info on this?.
i would love to be able to hit my family with a. .
mikeflood : Let's guess bold here...
John, the anointed, of bible writer fame, lived to ~103 CE. survived the end by 40 + years.
current wt generation doctrine has the anointed generation die at the beginning of the great tribulation. can they die a second death, perhaps writing the "new scrolls", -- 40 years after Armageddon too?

The "water canopy" that supplied the water for the global deluge of Genesis chapter 6 is mixed up in there as well, at some point.
FFG good points. To wt adherents must then be explained how that much water, more then double the present ocean volume, was suspended above ground (by pressure or in space by orbital velocity like saturn's rings.)
Near earth it would block all sunlight, like the oceans do now in the deep. Saturn's rings are now split by moons, our rings would be pretzels with our massive moon. .
to wt's satisfaction, perhaps the Perseverance rover will discover that Mars ran dry because Everest was flooded.
some interesting quotes from evolutionists.
natural history, vol.
' new scientist, vol.
It is totally obvious that evolution could not have occurred.
R: it is obvious that evolution did and does occur. It is the tool that a possible creator uses to develop the world. not just life,
even the laws of nature might have "evolved" by trial and error. erroneous laws would not create a universe, just have the trial situation revert back to chaos, to energy.
sex is the most enjoyable evolutionary creative tool there is, inho.

"Keep on doing this in memory of me,"
R: good point, there is actually no record of the apostles doing that at passover time.
The occasion, when Peter was freed by the angel from prison, with the full moon in the east, he did not find the other apostles at a bread and wine event. that would have been a good time in the story to highlight that. It must have been invented ~50 or 500 years later.
in this week's wt study, the article suggests that you might be discouraged because you were not given wt "privileges".
but here is the unintended admission: "jehovah" has picked a lying servant, putting on deceptive bible dramas to do his bidding.
1 kings 22. passing over those with more honest intentions.
Wt writers want to tell jws, what to worry about, what could discourage them. It is mainly not being able to do enough for or in the organisation. If you have a real problem, like being in an iron lung, or wheelchair, the solution to having a happy life is to put in pioneer hours.
forgets to mention all of King David's wives,
RR Yeah, acquired by collecting buckets of fore skins. no. you had to have 1000 of exclusive females to qualify for theocratic privilege to build the temple. Causing 1000 young men working out their frustration in the forests, quarries.

obviously he has done that again in 1919, when " millions now living will never die" was the big wt/ F&DS slogan. and.,
An adulterous murder, David was not allowed the privilege to build the temple , decried that loss of privilege, but retained many others. so:
If you have turned your back to wt: you had valid reason to do so. . dont be discouraged, this week's wt shows you why you are right,--- subtly. with hidden messages.
i would like to get some feed back from pomo's who's spouse is still pimi.
since myself and our son's left the jw cult.
my wife has been m.i.a has a mom and a wife.
hit her -- the scams...miracle wheat, Beth Sarim, the UN and Mexico Malawi scandals?
Ds: I see it differently judging by my situation: we have to help people, that are in mental anguish, because they lost the support of their closest friend, family to sustain their unsustainable belief in the wt lie.
My little daughter's rhime: "If they say, you will not die, you know it is a lie". instead of creating more insecurity by pointing out impossibilities, (which is ok here), try to subtly build the person up.
There is a far greater reward than wt offers. the Universe is far grandioser than the bible says.
The possible creator has done far greater things, than wt promises. with a family going forward, she is his fellow worker.

There was a stunning full moon on the eastern horizon last night, passover, memorial must be a month from now.
The marker of the spring equinox.
