  imho, its the one rodney spinks and terry o`brien parroting the governing body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the arc.. this is a blatant lie and misrepresents the truth,.and they know it.. when a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the governing body`s teachings ,doctrines and practices of the religion of jehovah`s witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.. especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.. they try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.. shame on them for perpetuating such a lie..

  IMHO, its the one Rodney Spinks and Terry O`Brien parroting the Governing Body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the ARC.

  This is a blatant lie and misrepresents the Truth,.and they know it.

  When a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the Governing Body`s Teachings ,Doctrines and Practices of the religion of Jehovah`s Witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.

  Especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.

  They try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.

  Shame on them for perpetuating such a lie.

  More cracks in the dam - WTS pleading for elders "in their early 20s"

  by FFGhost in

  i have another post here about how the wts is reeling from covid, as reflected in their abysmally catastrophic service report:.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6315842470936576/annual-service-report-yet-another-analysis-big-trouble-wts.

  here's another rupture showing.. in the latest "announcements and reminders" to elders, there is a paragraph with these sentences:.

  the Governing Body requests that all bodies of elders worldwide give priority to helping younger brothers grow in their relationship with Jehovah and qualify for congregation responsibilities.

  It has been observed that in some congregations, few baptized brothers in their late teens and early 20’s are reaching out to serve as pioneers or ministerial servants. In some lands, relatively few young brothers are applying to attend the School for Kingdom Evangelizers, to serve at Bethel, or to assist in Kingdom Hall construction and maintenance.

  Here ,the GB are admitting that a large number of younger people are turning away from the religion and are just biding their time till they are old enough to leave completely .

  IMHO

  I knew JW hierarchy were not being honest about the 1975 prediction ,but did I leave then ? no , I didnt leave till about 1993 .

  When you have allowed yourself to be indoctrinated for so long ? It`s hard to break free.

  I didn`t know back then that this was the second time the JW`s had said 6000 years of human existance had lived on Earth ,there was a much earlier one .

  Off hand i can`t remember when .

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  The Overlapping Generation teaching , is nothing more than an excuse to try to explain away the failed expectation beleif that was taught for decades ,that the generation that saw events in 1914 would not pass away in death before the new System had arrived.

  And of course they all did .

  Trampling of the nation's, persecution of holy ones.

  matthew 24:15.

  15 “therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place (let the reader use discernment),.

  luke 21:24 *(this scripture is incorrectly referenced to daniel 4:25. correct would be to revelation 11:2 nwt).

  Sardis , It`s O k to quote scripture after scripture if that makes you feel good ,but it is meaningless unless you have to give those scriptures your interpretation to what they mean and their fulfillment.

  Remember however, those scriptures were written 2000 years ago ,and the scriptures never identify what time period they were ever to be applied to

  .If any.

  By the way ,Sardis welcome to the forum ,i hope you stick around ,some very interesting discussions take place on this forum.

  Take care.
