    What God can do with fertility, and what he DOES do are two different things ... Even Muppets like Kermit the Frog, and Miss Piggy, who spend a LOT of time in theatrical trunks between movies, in CLOSE contact.. with all kinds of OTHER Muppets, they NEVER get pregnant. If they did, perhaps their offspring would be Piogs, or Figs, and that of COURSE would be the doings of Jehovah God... any other answer would be ABSURD! ..and then, those of us who LIKE Muppets even more than people, could enjoy their antics, drama, and companionship without stingy, evil Movie Producers putting the kabosh on their never ending efforts to make Millions of People happy! YAAAAAaaAAaAAAY! .

    Even when the animals live in peace ... slowly starving to death from malnutrition, there will always be that ONE exception. 1.) This is my Daughter at age 12, with a picture we took at a shopping mall. 2.) This is a picture of a hippo, saving a poor crocodile from drowning. 3. Another picture of a mammal and an amphibian getting along well . and 4. There is ALWAYS that ONE Exception ... ...sigh ...

    I am sure we will learn MANY new things about animals living in peace, together .....

    Eoin: OF COURSE IT HAS CHANGED. The scriptural admonition posted above is CRYSTAL CLEAR. I know for a fact that if my Father had not whipped me with belts and switches to cut the blood out of my legs (for which he openly wept ..) the day I turned 18 years old I would have been electrocuted in the Spring Street Prison in Richmond Virginia. We are not in an era where strong people do the right things anymore ... even in the Truth we are governed by Snowflake inspired political correctness, participation awards, and instead of a love for mercy and righteousness ... all theocratic policy is now set by the Society's Lawyers and Accountants, and the rest is ignored or watered down. But for the emasculated Fathers among the Brotherhood, there is HOPE!

    From Seaworld Parks and Entertainment: "Food Preferences And Resources ( of Walruses) Walruses prefer molluscs - mainly bivalves such as clams. They also eat many other kinds of benthic invertebrates including worms, gastropods, cephalopods, crustaceans, sea cucumbers, and other soft-bodied animals. Walruses may occasionally prey on fishes such as polar cod. Walruses may eat the carcasses of young seals when food is scarce. There are some rare but habitual seal-eating walruses. Their diet consists mainly of ringed and bearded seals. These are usually male walruses, recognizable because they are usually larger than other males, with powerful shoulder and chest muscles. Their skin may become grease-stained from the blubber of the seals they prey on. The Elephants teeth look like that so they can FIGHT meat eating predators on an equal basis, and the fact that they cannot floss without two trunks. .

    Mr. Tact and Kindness is telling me about attacks? TTH: " ... Mr. Tact and Kindness is telling me about attacks? " from your above quote .... There is a difference between justified attacks and ad hominum attacks. The first is to force TRUTH from obfuscation. It always makes things clearer ... and if successful, the result is TRUTH. The second is to hide faulty reason and logic, and obfuscate truth with a diversionary tactic because you are losing the debate, and does not discuss ISSUES ... but the bathing habits and "speech impediments", ( or in this case, the typing impediments ...), etc., of the debate opponent. A justified attack HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH TACT AND KINDNESS .... nothing at all. The Japanese Empire, in the 1940's, learned that the HARD way.

    TTH The only thing on YOUR watch is possibly Mickey Mouse. We have been exchanging barbs for MANY months now, and there is a common thread .... when your reasoning is shown by example to be deficient .. you change the subject, deliberately misunderstand or... worse ... accuse people of bad character or apostates, and at least three times, have been vulgar about it. You are FAMOUS for ad hominum attacks, open, thinly disguised, and heavily disguised ... but ALL to try and conceal your lack of reading comprehension skills, or faulty logic. And the worst crime in your attempts to be funny ... almost without exception ... all you can manage is clever. Fracturing your personality into three parts each with a name and log-in WAS clever... and ALMOST funny. You lash out about form (type style, type size, cartoons, memes, etc.) and never address the issues that are stapled to your forehead. AND YOU NEVER GET THE POINT OF ANY DISCUSSION that interferes with your predigested view of how things OUGHT to be, even when presented with HARD EVIDENCE to the contrary. You still have not realized that the rules of engagement here in this public forum are that you fight to the END to advance your beliefs ... and getting miffed, and hiding behind the curtain of the "loyalty agenda", is the equivalent of cowardice on the field of battle. That is not only Mickey Mouse ... it's just plain ... *coff* .... Goofy. TRUTH is born of fire and steel, and bad ideas need to die publicly.

    Not one witness in 200 understands ( and I just made up that statistic ...) that the way "new truth" is determined is that it is proposed by someone, and VOTED ON ... and there has to be a 66.66% majority to apostasize from the "Old Truth", or come up with a "new" idea. In 1957, when Sputnik was circling the Earth ... it was proposed that this be viewed as one of the "signs in the heavens", but it did not get enough votes to become "new light". YOU CANNOT VOTE ON TRUTH! Something is either true ... or it's NOT! I remember pieces of a movie I saw on TV many years ago ... I think the movie's setting years were somewhere around the 1300's ... Omar Sherif playing somebody was being asked if there REALLY was such a thing as witches. He replied "I hope so ... because we burn at the stake about 16,000 a year, in Germany alone." (paraphrased 50 year old memory fragment). I understand the relationship between these two apparently disjointed ideas ... I hope you do also. When people start "making up" theology from NOTHING ... they also start collecting firewood for those who will not, and cannot believe it. . .

    Slander is only slander if it is NOT true, and the person being excoriated is still alive. Slander DAMAGES someone. You cannot slander or libel a dead person ... it is IMPOSSIBLE to hurt them.. They are dead. and the perfect defense against a charge of being a slanderer is if what you said is TRUE. The fact that the rules were changed for the President of the WTB&TS, and others were treated like disfellowshipped ones, there is a word for that. TYRANNY. Petty tyranny, to be sure ... not like being put in front of a wall blindfolded and shot ... but tyranny nonetheless. At has ALWAYS been true among supposed equals everywhere .... "Everyone is Equal, but some are more equal than others.". PubSpeak notwithstanding.
  11. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    I just checked .... conversations I had in 1997 ... before browsers, are still on the Internet .... wow!
  12. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    TTH: The rules were changed when Bro. Nathan H. Knoor decided to get married. THEN the arbitrary tyranny stopped. Or, as Mel Brooks said in his movie, "History of the World, Part I" ... "It's GOOD to be King!". .

    PeterR: I Grok.
  15. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    PeterR: TTH has a well documented tendency to make up complete scenarios ENTIRELY from his imagination, without any basis in fact whatsoever, and then compare others to his imaginary scenarios .... and he has NO CONCEPT that there are people who are willing to risk their lives, their fortunes, their reputations and everything they hold dear to pursue Justice and Truth for its OWN sake .... and to defend the oppressed they have never even met. Tyranny has become political correctness .... with manners! .... or in his case ... bluster. OH ... and TTH ... thank you for providing a never ending stream of solid documentation to substantiate my assertions!
  16. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    . Thank you for a PERFECT analogy. I don't see many of those. . Me too. But I thank him for the food that was available to make the meal. If my wife burns it or adds way too much salt I don't pretend that God did the cooking.

    There is a very simple solution to all of this ...uh .... we have already defined one generation as really being two generations that overlap... two, yet one ...uh ... so ... as the time runs out having ALREADY established this principle ... we can make a THIRD generation overlap, and it STILL be one generation that will not pass away, before all these things occur ... and even a FOURTH or FIFTH generation overlap, and STILL call it the generation that will never pass away until all these things occur .... or ...uh ... or as many as we need to keep the whole thing from unraveling. PROBLEM SOLVED! .

    A very nice piece of video editing by someone .... usually they get the color balance off when they cut out what was really there and insert something else. And the camera motion was PERFECT as Jack was "reading the letter". If you do not speak German, there are many edited and sub-titled meme' videos on YouTube that are terrific satires of just about any subject that you could have,. If you have NO SENSE OF HUMOR, you do not want to watch these parodies ... um... like this one.

    When we go to the Airport, and enter that fragile aluminum tube that takes our even more fragile bodies made of mostly water seven miles high into the hostile sky, we hope the pilot has some idea where he is going, and is not just wandering around aimlessly, his main concern being keeping his cushy job. It's a shame when we look around and all the other passengers have embraced the idea that this is normal. Mostly because anyone who complains is hustled to the back of the plane, and thrown out the door. .. lovingly, of course ....
  20. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    . . Bruceq is probably right .... If we are going to REFUSE to use the word "generation" like Jesus meant it ... which all those listening INSTANTLY understood without a million word debate ....... the way the word has been used for FOUR THOUSAND and more years, and is used today by EVERYBODY on the planet ..... except the GB .. it's like milking a mouse, because you need the butter. ... or a squirrel.
  21. James Thomas Rook Jr.
    Sigh ... How many MILLIONS of words are going to be expended TRYING to rationalize something that sane, rational people will always choke on? The only opinion that counts is what was commonly understood in the time of Jesus, and the meaning Jesus MEANT, which would have been INSTANTLY understood by EVERYONE without the need of a million word thesis, years of discussion, and charts from art departments. Here is the fact: Generation, as understood back then, and now by EVERYBODY except the GB is ONLY one thing. THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF ONE BEING GENERATED. The reason a generation is called a GENERATION, and not an epoch, an age, or Howdy Doody Time, is that when a man and a woman have sex, and create a baby ... THAT IS THE NEW GENERATION. OF COURSE (hopefully) it overlaps the PREVIOUS Generation ... but each is of a DIFFERENT Generation ..... they were "generated" at different times. TWO GENERATIONS ARE NOT ONE GENERATION, as called for in Scripture. "This Generation will not pass away, before all these things occur .." THEY HAVE "GENERATED" A LIFE. The lifespan of that child is ONE GENERATION!!!! This is how all sane, rational people view a generation .... when they are not trying to defend ... the indefensible. .( ... for those in Rio Linda ... that is somewhere between, on the average ... 40 and 108 years ... usually somewhere around 80 years ..) When you quit trying to defend the indefensible it gets REAL simple. Just use the same definition that EVERYBODY on the planet ... back in Jesus' time and continuing to this day .... except the GB .... uses, and HAS USED, for the past 4,000 or so years. "Overlapping Generation(s)" are NOT ONE GENERATION.

    Assuming the formula is stated correctly ( and it's NOT ... ) the answer is "minus 8 pi alpha". I guess I will note here that I called True TomHarley's bluff in the previous thread, and challenged him to explain the "overlapping generations" in such a simple manner that EVEN AH could understand it ... and he looked at his cards, and folded. A shame really ... I was hoping to understand what appears to me to be gobbledegook, as all the Elders and other JWs I asked to explain it to me were also unable to do so. SOOooo, after declaring how simple it was, TTH was unable to explain it to me in his own words ... which means to me that he CANNOT believe it himself, as he cannot explain it to anyone else in his own words... after challenged to ACTUALLY do so. If loyal defenders of the doctrine cannot explain it ..... how can they POSSIBLY believe it themselves? Even though TTH folded under challenge, JTR knows that even TBBT's Sheldon Cooper is stumped sometimes, even by a Feynman Diagram ... and the Janitor sitting next to him instantly has the correct answer. "Go Polar Bears!" The pathetic shame of it all is TTH REALLY believes ... that he really believes it.

    Google "for those in Rio Linda" ........ It's a common expression and an inside joke.
