the former image was obtained from a topic in the humor and joke section of this platform and it seems to carry a underground information that is equally powerful.. since a food company had been producing a particular product for four generations since 1914, how come the wtbts publishing company are still producing for a one generation since 1914?.
awake october 1968 stated............ even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of "this generation" nearly 70 years old today(year 1968).
so the great majority of the generation to which jesus was referring has already passed away in death.
Jesus said: "This generation" not, these overlapping generations.
But of course JW`s have to twist the scriptures to fit their absurd doctrines and failed prophecies .
Luke Chap.3: 23-38 lists 76 generations from Adam creation to the birth of Jesus a period of 4024 years according to WT chronology.
4024 divided by 76 = 53 years., One generation ! There are many more scriptures that give the same ball park figure for one generation .
today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..
I too truly feel for you jp1692 and I`m sure there are many more suffering just like you.Thankfully all my immediate family are all out with only one niece and her young family still in.
Take care my friend , as you say its a cult that destroys families.
A pox on them.
imagine you have a spoon and you dig out one scoop of soil from the ground in central new york.
then you put that soil in a bag and carry it with you as you travel from there to the grand canyon.
you repeat these steps until you have created another grand canyon in new york and filled the original one in arizona.
When your a little kid Xmas time takes forever to come around ,when your in your 80`s eternity is just a heart beat away.
what is the watchtower's current study book?.
is it what does the bible really teach?.
is it what can the bible teach us?.
Currently at the "Congregation Bible Study" (or Bible study without the Bible) "Jesus-The Way, the Truth, the Life" book is examined.
I`ve been out for nearly 30 years and i find that book or should I say the title of the book to be a misnomer if that`s the right word. Since when have they ever highlighted JESUS in their teachings ?
It`s always been about Jehovah this Jehovah that , Jehovah ,Jehovah,Jehovah,never about JESUS.

He said he couldn’t do that because they weren’t in his congregation. (Both congregations are less than a 10 minute drive from my house.) I replied, “That’s funny, because that’s exactly what the elders in their congregation said to me—they couldn’t help because I’m not in their congregation!” (I had previously taken the initiative to contact the elders in my family’s congregation asking for help to reconcile our broken relationships. The elders in that congregation refused using the lame excuse I mentioned above.)
I have experienced the very same thing ,if your no longer in any of their congregations and in another state or territory they don`t want to know you ,your not their responsibility anymore.
And as you say ,"so much for an international brotherhood"
i don`t wish them any real harm or death or anything ,but i feel that if a few of them contracted the virus it might wake a few more up that their is no god to protect them from what is happening in the world.. after all they are living in a hot spot aren`t they ?.
am i wrong in wishing this to befall some of them ?
as a wake up call ?

What`s your thoughts on this ?
the britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.
the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.
a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.
I am in Australia and I have received a letter like this.....Addressed to the householder. "As one of your neighbours I am concerned" etc,etc.,with a leaflet "Who Controls The World",Then refers to JW.ORG and the local Congregation on the back of the envelope.
The writer only gives a first name and no personal contact number for her.
Is the same thing happening here ?
Edit to add: If she really beleived her Bible she would know that the GOD of the Bible rules the world Rom.13:1-7
