This generation and a key weasel word
by Socrateswannabe inin this past sunday's watchtower lesson, which has been discussed at length on this board, the gb/writing committee used a key weasal word that we will probably see again.
the exact quote is: "we understand that in mentioning 'this generation,' jesus was referring to two groups of anointed christians.".
this goofy teaching is merely a patch until they can devise something more plausible, or until some event occurs that they can latch onto that will make this teaching more acceptable to the r&f.

by ProfCNJ inhi folks, good morning.
july 2013 wt study edition has been discussed and commented on at length here in jw.net and in cedar's blog (jwsurvey.org).

How many anointed disciples were in the 1st Lord's Meal?
by hardtobeme inaccording to the bible, none... all 12 partook of the emblems.
jesus told them to partake even thought they were not anointed with holy spirit yet.
they were anointed at pentecost.... and judas was present too according to luke 22:21.. watchtower says that luke's chronological order is wrong.

Balancing the Mix of Healthy Spiritual Teachings and Questionable Doctrines as JW
by ProfCNJ inif you are a current or active jw, you cannot help but feel you are in a bind.
while you have discovered the truth about the truth and has continuously researched on it, you cannot help also but to regard the fellowship inside, add perhaps those encouraging teachings which build up faith and spirituality.. the reality is you cannot just turn a blind eye on the goodness in the organization too or shall we say some of its members who are also standing by you.
somehow, you felt the fds food is helping you in a spiritual sense.

WT's 1914 vs. Jesus Christ's Message on Matthew 24:36 & Acts 1:6
by ProfCNJ inthis striking thought just came into my mind.. our lord jesus christ said: "concerning that day and hour, nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the son, but only the father.
for just as the days of noah were, so the presence of the son of man will be.
" matthew 24: 36-37 (revised new world translation or rnwt).
