what does jump the shark mean?.
the phrase “jump the shark” is a term in pop culture that originated from the tv show “happy days” and is used to describe a decline in quality.
it refers to the moment when a tv show or other product has reached its peak and starts to decline in quality.
Yes, for me too, all these recent changes pale in comparison to the “overlapping generation” teaching. What on earth was that? I genuinely tried to understand what they were saying but it hurt my brain.
Yes, I've watched a guy on youtube called Robert ring elders around the UK and ask them to explain the overlapping generation to him biblically - they literally all squirm, get defensive and then refer him to the jw website - it's hilarious and embarrassing and pathetic at the same time!!
in the 15 october 1995 watchtower the society brought out 'new light' that although christ sat down as king in 1914, but he did not sit down on his 'glorious throne' mentioned at matt 25: 31 in that year.
i cant understand why the society bothered to make this change in 1995?
this change was in some ways more damaging to them than the generation change, because the society essentially sawed off the branch they were sitting on by announcing this 1995 new light.

When I was a freshmen in high school I discovered the secret to a true and succesful bullshit artist was neither that he BELIEVED his own bullshit or could keep his bullshit straight, but that he could say it unabashedly, unapologetically, and makes others feel guilty for even questioning him.
The WTS is truly the world's greatest bullshit artist. I would call it chutzpah if it were not so tragic and evil. These people are evil, man. If you're a lurker--- RUN!!!!
Doesn't the bold text so remind you of the crap they spewed out about not being sorry in the last annual meeting!!

I just assumed he closed it to try and hide his assets ahead of a divorce.
A former elder in one of my previous halls went off with a sister in the kh.
He was a wealthy man with a thriving business and lots of property.
He claimed though that he lived in one of his own very humble, modest apartments and he did not have much assets/money in the bank to his name at the time of his divorce.
Strangely, just a year or so later he was living a very salubrious property in a well to do area with his business suddenly thriving again.
Last I heard he and his new partner were attending a kh near his new house to try and create a new life for themselves together...

( starts at the 21:00 minute mark ) governing body member jeffrey winder reveals the real reason for the failed doctrines throughout the watchtower's 150 year history.
he claims that the governing body are neither inspired or infallible.. the governing body do not need to apologize for getting doctrines wrong.. the governing body ''do their best with what they have and what they understand at the time.''.
They truly are False Prophets and Shameless Charlatans !
My friend and I once stopped a nun on streetwork back in 1983. She was very friendly until she realised we were jw's.
Then she snarled that we were the biggest charlatans and false prophets the world had ever seen.
Although she was only around five feet tall to my six feet, I admit I was slightly afraid of her raw rage and anger - so we beat a hasty retreat!

I notice he still hasn't even removed the now 'out of date' Twitter link on his youtube page..
i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .
is this regarding 1914?
or micheal the arch angel?.
We used to get told in jw land that there were umpteen numbers of different religions on the planet.
Did ANY of these other religions fixate on 1914 like the watchtower has done?
