tengo 22 años, me dediqué a jehová y lo que creo que fue la organización de él a los 18 años.. ai am currently inactive in spiritual activities, which led me to wonder and question if the watchtower has the truth.
ELMartin , I,m just curious as to how old you are ,if you are an Adult you should be able to make your own decision and face the consequences ,however if you are a minor that could be a whole different story .

nasa plans return to moon by 2020
"this vision aims to return humans to the moon, and then to use it as a staging point for a manned mission to mars.
i wonder if jws will be required to canvas those areas too.
For the naysayers that don`t beleive man has set foot on the moon .
There hasn`t just been one mission to the moon by Astronauts with two men but six missions equaling 12 men setting foot on the moon over a period of time.
Do you honestly think other space age nations such as the Chinese ,Russians ,Indians , European space Agency etc ,etc. would sit idly by and let America get away with such a fraud ?
Of course not they would let the whole world know it was all fake .
But they don`t ,why ? because they all know its fact.
so a few years i watched a lecture series by a man named dr. micheal heiser called the two powers in heaven, jesus in the old testament.
funny thing was it wasn't even very evangelical in nature, so i turned off my religious binders and just watched it like a regular person.
it turns out that the new testament is a hinge point in the bible.
I guess theI Italian Mafia / Vatican back in the day are good examples of that ?

Thanks TD I was able to read this.
i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.
The GB / Jehovah`s Witnesses claim to base their beleifs solely on the Bible.
And out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses let a matter be established of what is "truth"
3 Bible scriptures that identify a generation as approximately 50 years in length.
#1 , Matt.1: 17-18 , Abraham born 2018 BC / Jesus born 2 BC , 2016 years between them and 42 generatiions , = 48 years for one generation.
#2 ,Luke 3 :23-38 that is 76 generations from Adam to Jesus a period of 4024 years ,4024 divided by 76 = 53 years . for one generation.
And certainly Jesus never said anything of the sort.
#3 , Luke 21: 20 - 32 ,Jesus died at age 30 ? ,this prophecy was fullfilled in the year 70 AD , again well within a 50 year timespan.
And nowhere in the entire Bible is there a hint of an overlapping generation even suggested.
And certainly Jesus never said anything of the sort.

The link doesn`t work for me ?
can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.
we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.
The only Armargeddon I can relate to is :
Ar`m a geddon out of this cult religion before I go nuts.
