    There is no overlapping generation,. The geneartion born in 1914 has not died yet. This overlap crap is to excuse their former claim (still held on to) that the text says those who see 1914 so like age 9 to 14. But the text does not say. The text says WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS (not your generation will not die before it comes) but that this 1914 born generation will not die before it comes. The proof is in the only version of preFlood angels ruling before the Flood. That version is 970 years (87 sars) and it was written before Noah or Shem died. Methuselah died after the Flood started (the astral impact 7 days before rain and Flood hit the ark) easily rounded up (like Noah or Nimrod) to the full 970. So Methuselah was an infant born when angels began rule, not old enought to see nor know, and he died the very year Arnageddon destruction came. There was no overlap generation unless you regarded it that when ENOCH saw these things, then know his son born thatyear wouldnot die before it happens /begins. That is the answer full and complete. Waiting for WatchTower to see it is as stupid as Jesus waiting for his mother Mary to teach him; or school synagogue Pharisees to teach him, or Jerusalem priests to teach him.

    Overlapping generations? Where in the Bible or from Jesus himself does it teach that "this" generation means several generations overlapping each other? It doesn't. 1914 just like 1874 are false failed dates based on false dating false doctrine and false teachings. Jesus said "this" generation. Who in Matthew was Jesus talking to? The living disciples. Not only have they passed away but also the "generation" of 1914. Case closed.

  • @TheGulfcaptain
    @TheGulfcaptain Před 3 měsíci

    1914 is the foundation made of sand that the WBTS has built their house. The tide has come in. The generation of 1914 has "passed away" leaving JW scrambling to twist the words "this generation" into groups of successive generations over a unknown period of time. In Matthew 24, what was the subject? Jerusalem's destruction along with the temple. Who was Jesus talking to? The living disciples. What would precede the destruction of Jerusalem? Wars, famine, earthquakes etc. What was the "sign" the disciples were to look for on his arrival (presence)? Answer: the "sign of the son of man coming down out of heaven..." not in secret or invisible as if "in a inner chamber" or out away "in the wilderness" but where "every eye" will see him like lightning striking from eastern parts to western parts. Jesus then said TO THE LIVING DISCIPLES "This generation will by NO MEANS pass away before ALL THESE THINGS OCCUR." The generation of 1914 has admittedly passed away. So if Jesus didn't return in 1914, then he didn't chose the WBTS to run his business did he? Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE well within the lifetime of that generation about 40 years after Jesus told them they would see it. The WBTS has no scriptural foundation for Christs return in 1914. Only anecdotal assumptions, twisted WT history molded to fit events that did not happen.

    You cannot make friends after being disfellowshipped. If you do you are an ignorant foolish virgin. Only half can survive. The cult is a hireling. They work for their oats. As opposed to Christ paying for them and adopting us as sons and daughters. They make their children walk thru the fire. As if they are Holy or something. My sister fucked my face when I was nine years old. I didnt have a choice. I am disfellowshipped and she is married and in good standing. Until God gets here.

    At least you got a reply, belated as it was, sad to say it wasn't helpful. I wrote to London Bethel in early 90's about CSA but did not receive any such reply, although there had been police involvement. I left that organisation in 2005 it was the best way forward. Most of the JW's I know are lovely people but they are somehow blinded by the promise of everlasting life on a paradise earth. We will see. Thank you for your video. David Walsh.

    Its a true shame that people who joined the JWS didn't realize this organization via the Watchtower Corporation was rooted inherently in false prophesying apostasy going back to the late 1800's. There is direction given in the bible about how to identify false prophets and how to treat them , such as do not listen to them. Didn't Jesus say that no one knows of the time not even he ??? 🤔 These leaders came up a whole strings of self supporting propaganda doctrines such as since they themselves are preaching the Gospel that indicates that mankind is living in the last days, particularly since 1914. The President of the WTS./JWS J Rutherford proclaimed the Jehovah had chosen them in 1919 because they were preaching a true and accurate version of the Gospel, they weren't according to the bible. 😳 Thats why the leaders of the JWS (GB) have been stridently trying to hide that information from its members for decades about the organization preaching and teaching of Pyramidology I just learned about it myself only about 10 years ago on the inter net. I would call it opportunistic corruption and coercive deception by these leaders to attract attention to the literature the WTS published and lure in followers to convert them into subservient slaves and also take money from them. 😳

  • @jerryavalos9610
    @jerryavalos9610 Před rokem

    Towards the end of your video, you said something that particularly caught my ear, that the Society today has veered away from the simple truths as opposed from the sincere teachings in the earlier years. Respectfully, there was never a sincerity from the beginning of the Society. Starting with Charles Russell, his history shows that he was not a theological learned man and picked up a hotchpotch of beliefs, particularly from groups who were into the return and advent of Christ and setting dates. Russell was obsessed with dates and pyramids and made 1874 to be the date of his return. He changed the date at least twice. Rutherford was just as worse as Russell who illegally seized power and while in power claimed 1925 would be that year. It was Rutherford that came up with the doctrines that JW's believe today. A good book on Rutherford's seizure of power is a book by Rud Persson called "Rutherford's Coup". The biggest tragedy is thousands of JW's who have left the organization are in a spiritual limbo, feeling isolated and alone. First of all you are not outside the the grace and will of God and eternal life. When Jesus was deserted by his disciples, Jesus turned to his apostles and asked if they were going to leave also, Peter answered: Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also, we have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (John 6:68-69) The Society is a false prophet, why should one believe in the doctrines of the false prophet? Put the NWT away, pick up a reputable translation, pray before you read for the Holy Spirit to open your mind to real truths in the scriptures and breath the air of freedom that is in Christ.

I would spend more time in service, read old watchtower and awake article, pray more, go visit older ones in the congregation and notjing filled thst hole. Thete is s reason, the hole in all of our hearts is meant to be filled by Jesus and when you finally get thst in your mind and heart❤ you are finally on the road to being saved. Be proud of your decision and wanting to tell others. God bless you ☺️

    I've never understood the fascination associated with Armageddon. It is a final battle which occurs following the thousand year reign of Jesus. We will be long gone by then. I recall as a kid living in Prince George being told that Jesus would return in 1974. Several years later, it became 1975 and the third failed prediction as I discovered much later. I recall waking up the morning of Jan 1/76 in Cornwallis and nothing had changed except the calendar date.

  • @stefandavenport1588

    Min 00:50 Your children need to understand that Gen 1 claims that plants were created on day 3, before the Sun was created on day 4 •• elementary school science explains that plants need the warmth of the Sun, and, _also_ the full spectrum of the Sun's actual light to photosynthesize sugars in plant survival, even at all. The pre science bible authors never knew about the Absolute Zero temperature in outer space, nor the full spectrum sunlight that enables photosynthetic activity. The excuse makers will never answer the question of the plants needing the warmth of the Sun, nor how the first 4 days had " evenings and mornings ", before the Sun was created on day 4.

    I agree that JWs are very poor at protecting children in their congregations and they will do whatever they need to in order to cover up all the bad things that go on in their congregations everywhere. JWs have a very powerful legal department and they fight their cases viciously. I've heard and read about some of the legal cases they have been involved in and they are not pretty, usually about child molestation. I wish someone somewhere would shut them down permanently because they cause a lot of people great harm. I know this because I was raised in that cult. I disassociated myself formally from them and am so glad that I did. It is good to hear that JWs lost that court case. I hope they continue to lose legal cases. I hope they will be fully exposed someday soon for all the bad things they do.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I left JWs a long time ago. I disassociated myself formally with a letter. I was abused in various ways when growing up and all of it was covered up even with threats from my parents that I better not tell anyone what goes on at home. There were lots of cases of abuse going on that I had heard about from my friends in the congregation. It was horrible. The worst of it is that the perpetrators were always protected. My parents kicked me out of our home without warning when I was 18 and told everyone, especially the elders, that I was rebellious in order to cover up what was going on at home and protect their cover up and to protect my uncle, who was a JW and who sexually abused me. All 3 of them died in "good standing" with the organization. I also did research to find out the Society's stand on abuse and couldn't find anything at that time, decades ago. That was convincing enough for me to get out of that cult. I am very glad you and your family got out of it. It's the best thing you could have done for yourselves and your family. I wish you the very best.

  • @suzannep
    @suzannep Před rokem

    When I was a kid 30 plus years ago there were lots of people who were JW who didn't attend meetings and had some questions that they were trying to find answers to, but they still were talked to and invited around to get togethers and treated like brothers and sisters. I remember hearing people say that they were just a little weak in faith and needed loving understanding until they found there way. Now the moment someone says "that article doesn't make sense" or "that talk doesn't seem scriptural" they get soft shunned by not getting talked to quite as much and not invited to get togethers. If they stop attending meetings they start getting warned that they are giving room for Satan and people no longer call or text. And if they make it clear that they don't agree with any single teaching from the organization they are branded bad association and fully shunned no matter if they are DFd or not.

    I am trying to get the Charities Commission in the UK to remove the various Watchtower corporations and charities from charity status here in Britain. I have written many times to the Charities Commission, but I have been ignored or fobbed off with them sending me ridiculous e-mails which have completely all of ignored the points which I had raised in my letter. My main focus has been my 40+ videos, uploaded to CZcams where British UK elders have told me that Queen Elizabeth rules the UK by the authority of the devil. However, in a discussion with a British Political party policy manager, he gives me the link to a House of Lord select committee on Charities and advices me to write to them, as they do have the authority to change policy on Charities in the UK. Please Reaching Out Channel, please do permit this link to my video on your channel, as the link to the House of Lord select committee is at the very bottom of it's text description, and I do need others to click on the link to this House of Lords committee, and then e-mail individual committee members explaining why the Watchtower needs to lose its charity status within the UK.

    This is why we must all think seriously about religion, God, and the after life. Someone I once knew made this statement "There are no atheists in foxholes." He was a veteran with wartime experience on the front line. What this meme is meant to express is that it is easy to be an atheist when you are not being immediately confronted with your own mortality and the with the frailty of your own human life. Likewise, it is easy to believe lies when they make you feel secure.... but you only know for sure if you believe them when you receive a terminal cancer diagnosis, or when you have only a few minutes left to live on the emergency room table. Sometimes death happens so suddenly there is no time to reflect at all. So.... do you really believe you'll be coming back to live on a paradise earth one day after you die? Do you really have peace with turning to dust and being a feast for the worms? Not many JWs can really honestly answer such questions.
