  Your all right, it's about the money $$$,$$$,$$$ donations, I think they are godless posers stealing from those who can't afford to give!

  Changing their past literature with our New Age of technology, it shows how bold and how little faith they have their members are smart enough to examine their faith vs the Bible.

  Did you notice the Video of the Elder Judicial Instruction not once mentioned Jesus Christ? Thats a clue they are the AntiChrist's incubation body, something wicked is growing inside the Watchtower and going to hatch like Aliens!

  Thank you all, I love my friends on JWN, the only place we can speak with other JWs about the truth!

  And as the WTS rewrites, revises, and retells its history, the clock ticks down inexorably to October and the centenery of Christ's enthronement--according to WTS eschatology. Some have mentioned the contempt with which the WTS leadership holds the rank and file. I believe there is another element which should not be overlooked. We are talking about men who are, to quote the Bible book of Acts of Apostles, "unlettered and ordinary." Their organization is truly the blind leading the blind. These are people who have no real appreciation for the arts, sciences, the power of reason and free will. They lack the courage of their convictions. I believe all of this makes the approaching autumn a cause for real fear and alarm. To counter this, they are accelerating the pace of denying their history in the hope that very few will raise the kind of questions that could incite the kind of revolt not seen among them since the years that immediately followed the death of Charles Taze Russell.

  I am searching for the materials showing the Watchtower changing the original content like or examples of the following.

  I wouldn't go making this accusation to anyone who will take you to task to provide some evidence for it.

  "The Preaching Work will be finished in the 20th century and never be repeated".

  In the example you give, the change was made between the public rag and the BV.

  I do not know of one instance where there is a change between the CD and the printed version. The CD always reflects the last print edition.

  Plus ........ there are some very embarrassing statements made that are still included on the CD that would have been 'edited' if they were doing what some newbie 'apostates' accuse them of. If you want to rattle the brain of a JW, use those, rather than an accusation that you haven't got original printed evidence for.

  Quendi -"These are people who have no real appreciation for the arts, sciences, the power of reason and free will. They lack the courage of their convictions."

  I came to that conclusion, myself when I realized that if they really did have the courage of their convictions, they'd have the balls to shout their genuine beliefs from the rooftops regardless of how strange it sounded, instead of engaging in spin and misdirection whenever they feel publicly embarassed.

  Quendi -" To counter this, they are accelerating the pace of denying their history in the hope that very few will raise the kind of questions that could incite the kind of revolt not seen among them since the years that immediately followed the death of Charles Taze Russell."

  Hmm; hadn't thought of that; makes sense for them to fear another mass exodus though (or, at the very least, fragmentation).

  With so much of the modern world providing better alternatives than anything the WTS offers these days, they could be genuinely scared that - drawing on the collective memories of the post-1914 and post-1975 losses - the Organization might not survive intact this time around.

  I have to admit; if I were on the GB, I'd be having trouble sleeping these days.

  Wt 1989 Jan 1st from c/d rom page 11 par 8

  "8 About 47-48 C.E., God, through holy spirit, indicated a decisive move for the expansion of the missionary work. The record at Acts 13:2-4 tells us: “The holy spirit said: ‘Of all persons set Barnabas and Saul apart for me for the work to which I have called them.’ . . . Accordingly these men, sent out by the holy spirit, went down to Seleucia [the seaport of Syrian Antioch], and from there they sailed away to Cyprus.” How thrilling that must have been for Paul and Barnabas—sailing to their first foreign assignment! The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity. He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day."
