  I thought Sir82 was joking about Israel.

  As far as the types and antitypes issue, this is my understanding. They are not aboloshing the idea altogether, they still believe in types and antitypes but only where they bible is clear on the matter and directly refers to something being both a type and antitype. The GB member said there was only a few of these situations. Where the bible isn't clear in regards to an antitype it is wrong of them to say that there is. They mentioned that for a number of years now they have focused more on relating individuals to biblical persons and events.

  Oh man

  Nothing pisses off a JW more than the idea that the modern day state of Israel is the fulfillment of bible prophecy. They are starting to preach the same batshit crazy stuff that the American evangelical 700 club Ned Flanders types are preaching, just replacing Israel with themselves.

  The hatred of all things Christian is what is really driving JWs to the holy land. Same reason the muslims are always pissed off too.
