On the gifts in men thing Ya'll know thats a scripture that the Gubberning body has doctored?
If you read any other translation it says he gave 'gifts to the men' But the NWT renders it 'gifts in men' Now if you look at the WT kingdom interliner it shows that 'gifts to the men as the proper wording.
Think about the devestating effect of that simple word change!
They use that errant and mis-translated scriture to establish their authority.
Thanks Darth
Something else I just noticed. They mention gifts in men (and as darth frosty points out that is not accurate translation) they mention of course the Governing Body and they mention God's anointed ones. Notice what's missing. Yup, no "faithful and discreet slave". And notice something else. Capital G and B for the beloved Governing Body. And since I'm at it notice what determines how we will be judged. So first off they go to great lengths to make the reader think "spiritual brothers, anointed ones = Governing Body " and then tie ones judgement to our attitude to them. WOW, just WOW.
19 Among those "gifts in men" are the members of the Governing Body, who act in a representative way for the entire Christian congregation. (Acts 15:2, 6) In fact, our attitude toward Christ's spiritual brothers is a major factor that will determine how we will be judged during the coming great tribulation. (Matt. 25:34-40) Thus, one aspect of the way we gain a blessing is by giving our loyal support to God's anointed ones.

...OUTLAW
outlaw is a really bad man!! LOL
where in the new testament does it alude to the governing body being a condition for salvation? they only organized once to decide a few matters.then they went back to normal duties.
Plain English translation: "Obey us and do what we tell you to do or you will not survive the coming judgement."
I love you outlaw. 
15. As time passes, refinements are made in
our understanding of the Scriptures. Proverbs
4:18 says: “The path of the righteous
ones is like the bright light that is getting
lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established.”
Increased light inevitably leads
to adjustments in the way in which we ‘sing
the truth.’ For the past 25 years, Jehovah’s
Witnesses in many lands have enjoyed using
the songbook entitled Sing Praises to Jehovah.
_ In the years since that book was first
published, the light has been getting brighter
on a number of topics, and some of the
expressions used in that songbook have become
outdated. For example, we no longer
speak of “the new order” but of “the new
world.” And we now state that Jehovah’s
name will be “sanctified,” not “vindicated.”
Clearly, from a doctrinal standpoint, there
has been a need to bring our songbook up to-
date.
They omit to tell you that they always called it 'THE NEW WORLD' before changing it to 'The new order' before changing back to..........................wait for it!!!!
TA DAHHH
THE NEW WORLD
The light gets brighter by the GB going back to stuff years old that the 'New Light' told them was 'Old Light' but has now decided it was 'New Light' all along.
So the 'Old New Light' has to be believed 'cos your life depends on it.................
That is until the 'New Old Light' becomes 'Old New Light'...................... I think
