Anointed looking a bit younger - Feb 15th WT

  Hello everyone

  Been a wee while since I have been here, holidays and stuff.

  Anyway, I received the new Feb 15th WT last night, the one with the generation change. They have inserted an image that is meant to represent the anointed class, it is not like the usual ones. Generally these pics would have them with gray hair looking very old, but this image "in my opinion" seems to show them a bit younger.

  This would make sense I suppose with the new understanding.

  I was also very impressed how the org managed to sneak in this new point, a footnote at the bottom of the page, not the slightest reference to the 1995 article.

  Sounds like the picture does have to do something with the generation change. I hope a scan is posted here soon. I just got my January 15th WT a few days ago.

  I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years from now they have pictures that are supposed to represent the anointed being full of 30 year olds.

  Unfortunately I am at work and do not have access to a scanner, perhaps tonight if I get a chance.

  A scanned copy would be great. The January 08' JW only magazine has already been leaked. We need to keep them coming!

  Don't think I've touched one those magazines in a good 2 and a half years.

  Pretty tempting for those wishing to appear saintly.

  Does anyone know if the AWAKE! masthead page still reads as follows:
  
  "Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things."
  
  I notice on the Society's website they have removed the underlined part of the above statement so that it looks like this:
  
  "The Watchtower and Awake! both build confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world." -

  It reads the same in the hard copy.

  They seem to have softened their stance on how extraordinarily evil this entire world and everyone IN IT (but them) is.

  After all those years and pitiful false projections on the many dates the WTS expected the "End" would be here....it now seems as though they are finally admitting that they don't have a CLUE about when to expect the end..while not exactly admitting that they never actually DID have any "special insight" into this at all!

  I guess this "new idea" will be published to get new "people" to buy into the WTS opinions and peculiar interpretations, and to believe that the "CREATOR'S PROMISE" has been changed,

  Another very devious and clever move by the Boyz In Writing in NY!
