Watchtower 1989 January 1 p. 12
Original (Single-Copy) says; The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be concluded in our 20th century.
Bound Volume Version says; The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be concluded in that day.
An important change eh?

Here's a few quotes that they may not be familiar with:
"....But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble" --Watchtower July 15, 1894
"...By carefully and prayerfully examining our own circumstances, we also may find that we can spend more time and energy in preaching during this final period before the present system ends. Many of our brothers and sisters are doing just that. This is evident from the rapidly increasing number of pioneers.....Yes, since the summer of 1973 there have been new peaks in pioneers every month. Now there are 20,394 regular and special pioneers in the United States, an all-time peak. That is 5,190 more than there were in February 1973! A 34-percent increase!..........Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end."---------- Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3
"In view of the short period of time left, we want to do this (pioneer) as often as circumstances permit. Just think, brothers, there are only about ninety months left before 6,000 years of man’s existence on earth is completed."------ March 1968 Kingdom Ministry
"...It may be that some who have been serving God have planned their lives according to a mistaken view of just what was to happen on a certain date or in a certain year. They may have, for this reason, put off or neglected things that they otherwise would have cared for. But they have missed the point of the Bible’s warnings concerning the end of this system of things, thinking that Bible chronology reveals the specific date.....Did Jesus mean that we should adjust our financial and secular affairs so that our resources would just carry us to a certain date that we might think marks the end? If our house is suffering serious deterioration, should we let it go, on the assumption that we would need it only a few months longer? Or, if someone in the family possibly needs special medical care, should we say, ‘Well, we’ll put it off because the time is so near for this system of things to go’? This is not the kind of thinking that Jesus advised.------- Watchtower July 15, 1976 p. 440 par. 11

SOLACE 1998- There is no way in hell or heaven that the Watchtower society will EVER apologize for the child abuses being allowed to permeate their congregations. It will show them to be faulty, and to blame, and not infallible - or backed by God's holy spirit ! They are too proud to admit that. Whether or not they change their policies - it remains to be seen. If they keep getting hundreds more exposed child abuse cases perhaps they'll change. But it would be change just to protect their public image is all. Outward appearance is the prime thing important to the Watchtower society. It's disgusting

Appendix 1-d in the NWT reference bible says the name jehovah has been "restored" 237 times in the greek scriptures. It states it has been "restored" where is must have once appeared. There are no early manuscripts anywhere in the world with the divine name in them....even according to the Insight book under Jehovah...Use in the Greek Scriptures. What is disturbing about that is the WTBS says god has divinely protected his word, and would not allow it to be corrupted. Yet they say it has been corrupted by satan and his early apostates who somehow removed the divine name TOTALLY from the new testament....every frikkin copy on earth!
It says it has "restored" it when the greek scriptures are quoting from the hebrew scriptures and the divine name appears there. But this is a lie, or partial truth. They have "restored" (added) in many many places where the greek scriptures are not quoting from the hebrew scriptures....like every single use in Revelation!!! where it cleary says 22:17-19 to not add to nor take away a single word of the scroll. Know what is really stupid? Why was I not looking for the " " quotation marks with every occurance of the divine name in the greek scriptures?
How can we just change the frikkin bible where and when we want to....spoken as if i was still part of this impressive cult...............oompa....took me 44 years to figure it out dammit.........oompa
