  Bobcat's recent post has led to this article in Mar 15, 2015 WT, pp 7-11, par 9, 10:

  For many years, God’s people found this approach to Bible accounts faith strengthening. Why, then, have things changed?
  
  10 As we might expect, over the years Jehovah has helped “the faithful and discreet slave” to become steadily more discreet. Discretion has led to greater caution when it comes to calling a Bible account a prophetic drama unless there is a clear Scriptural basis for doing so.

  So, after all of these decades, Jehovah himself says, "Listen, GB, stop bullshitting - stick to the GD scriptures - erase all of the BS of CTR, the drunk, and Freddie Shoes."

  Additionally, it has been found that some of the older explanations about types and antitypes are unduly difficult for many to grasp.

  Jehovah then goes on: "Besides, no one has a GD F*ing clue what Freddie Shoes and his mushrooms was trying to say. Let's just drop it all and stick to the method that works - try channeling LRH. Jehovah, out."

  ... it's like to become steadily more pregnant for a woman

  A woman is pregnant - or is not pregnant.

  The slave is discreet - or is not discreet.

  See, you R&F are just thick as two short planks, it's not that our explanations were sh** .

  I wonder when Big J will reveal to them that the Parable of the Discreet Slave is simply that, just a Parable ?

  I suppose they will only be told that after Armageddon LOL (The Big A being another thing that ain't gonna happen).

  The discretion gets brighter and brighter.

  What verse is that again?

  In case any readers here haven't realized it yet, the WT is the master of Orwellian speak, misdirection and soft language.
  

  The issue, as described by the WT:

  • 'Jehovah has made us more discreet, he made us realize that unless "there is a clear Scriptural basis for doing so" a Bible story isn't a prophecy'.
  • 
    

  The reality: Our old explanations don't make any sense, they never did, but now it's dead obvious, so we have to change it, we look better if we blame it on God.
  

  
  

  • '"Additionally, it has been found that some of the older explanations about types and antitypes are unduly difficult for many to grasp."

  
  

  The reality: Our old explanations don't make any sense, but it sounds better to say we are junking them because YOU don't understand them.

  
  

  DECADES of listening to and swallowing this kind of bad reasoning (if you don't, we will take your family away from you) has made the average JW SOFT in the head.

  " unduly " difficult to grasp?. -so now they are only "duly" difficult to grasp? so the fault is with the rank file again, not grasping? so even the doctrines are wrong because of their degreed of difficulty? or is the un-truthfulness the issue?

  wt solution: abandon d-doctrine. next letter in alphabet after "d"? --"E"-- a religion based on Emotions and Experiences delivered in E format.
