Why isnt the overlapping generation( interpretation), consistently applied to these scriptures.?
by smiddy inwhy does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
" as having overlapping generations ?
and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?

So all jw's need to ask themselves this question.Because the GB have admitted they are not inspired nor are they infallible ( how can they teach an accurate knowledge of the bible?).

Angry and scared
by BlackWolf ini feel like everything that comes out of my mothers mouth is something negative and cringe worthy.
all she seems to talk about with me is how terrible and demonic our disfellowshipped relatives are, how horrible the world and holidays are, or how she is so much better and "holier than thou".
it really makes me sick sometimes.

Stall as long as you possibly can.Remind your mum that getting baptized is a life long committment and that its a personal decision between you and jehovah.

by karter inwith the intention of spending less time working and more time in f.s i saw this many times.
an ex c.o started a carpet cleaning business with the charter being spending less time working more time in f.s.
he has long since passed away and the company is now huge being the major player in flood resteration and employing 100's of people one of the owners i spoke to recently was sick due to using to many chemicals but carries on becouse he loves the money even though he's worth millions.

Many years ago l was working for a roof restoration company and the sales manager was an elder.To work at this company it was a requirement to form your own company.the sales manager recruited well over 2 dozen elders from all over and trained them all to be high pressure salesman with an agenda.An agenda to rip people off.the work being done was very poor quality but the elders just turned a blind eye as they do.As long as they got paid their commission they didnt care.l should have exposed them all but couldnt be bothered at the time.

Sex & Divorce
by IMHO in1. you can't have sex until your married.. 2. you're not married until you've gone through a legal ceremony.. 3. you get 'unscriptually' (although legally) divorced therefore not 'free' to remarry'.
4. can you still 'scriptually' have sex with your former spouse?.

by schnell inthank you, everybody here, for introducing me to this.

What Were Your Elders Real World Jobs?
by pale.emperor inwe all know that education is severely demonized in this religion.
and that the elders are appointed based on how many meetings they attend, hours they put in on the ministry and general attitude to other elders (as apposed to, you know, actual theological training and counseling) - so my question is, what were your elders occupations outside the kingdom hall?.
in my old congregation our elders consisted of:.

l was working for a roof restoration company back in the mid eightys as a salesman.Door to door high pressure selling and the work being done was of a very poor standard.l recall counting 20 elders at a sales meeting all learning how to con unsuspecting home owners into having something done that wasn't necessary..
