    Ninja, Thanks for the comparison of Bible Good News vs WT Good News.

    Could you provide an example??

    Sure...and I'm glad that you're wanting examples because no one should take ANYONES word for it. Give me a few moments to look it up again. I had looked all this up in the past to make sure leaving the org. wasn't going to be a mistake. Maybe someone will provide you an example before I get to it...but if not, I'll sure get one for you.

    I am not aware of such a situation, or if it has happened it must have been fairly minor.
    And even if it has happened, does that undermine all teachings of Jehovahs People?

    Well, it makes a person think...if they are the channel then changes shouldn't be going backwards. You said that things being taught are gradually revealed...then it should not ever be going backwards with teaching at any point since this is a "message from Jehovah". Unless you're saying that Jehovah is changing his mind back and forth?

    Thanks fullofdoubt!!!...you beat me to it.

    Many on the list that fullofdoubt posted are not minor flip-flops. Again, if Jehovah is gradually sending New Light, then why would he flip-flop back on some things?

    << There are cases where the Society taught one way changed it to a different understanding because of "New Light"..but then went back to the original statement. That would be going backwards instead of "gradually" teaching.>>
