    Trading a pretty good life for a pig-in-a-poke is a lousy trade. But, trading a pretty good life for a Perfect one in Paradise is a no-brainer. That is how it is presented.

    It is a phony bargain and always has been.

    Being "perfect" now is impossible and causes people to hate what is good about life and each other!

    Trading your education, security and well-being in this life for a broken promise is the sad fate of JW's world wide.

    Those Bethel workers without a pension are realizing that pretty quickly.

    The second sentence seems to be the key difference, changing "keeps watch on world events as these fulfull bible prophecies," to

    "in the light of bible prophecies". So, does this mean bible prophecies are no longer being fulfilled?

    If there was truth in advertising:

    THE PURPOSE OF THIS MAGAZINE is to provide us with phony-baloney prestige and "jobs" that maintain our income stream. Bible prophecy has shown time and time again that the parasitic priest class can always depend on enough suckers being born to each generation to assure that the parasitic priest class would never threaten the softness of their delicate hands with anything resembling work.

    I have not seen the new mags yet in person. Is this wording on both the "study" edition and the "field ministry" edition? If I am correct, the 15th of each month will be the "study" (kool-aid) edition.

    Potentially, the End Times speculators feel free to point to almost anything going on at the time to reinforce the floating "proof" of Armageddon's presence. The 2nd version is more indicative of the state of mind that prefers that methodology.
