Yes, since the WTS is not perfect, and their teachings have had to be clarified and adjusted many times...

The 2018 publication Pure Worship of Jehovah - Restored at Last! devotes a section to providing "evidence" that "God's people" were chosen in 1919.

""Pure worship".
Isn't that just a loaded theme?
With a best before date. Or a use by date. Subject to change.

My initial thoughts on reading the OP's post were similar to Blondie and Beth Sarim.
Firstly, it really sounds like they have one of those fridge magnet word games to assemble convention themes and they just dip into a bag and pick a couple of them at random. Many of the themes for decades have had the same vaguely "spiritual" sounding word pairings, which are concise enough to trip off the tongue, but generic enough to fit whatever you want into them - especially pre-1996, as you can see from this page which lists all the convention titles in reverse order back to the 1940s:

It's also interesting to note that while "Pure Worship" hasn't been used before, the word "Pure" was there in 1990 ("Pure Language") and "Worship" in 1951 (""Clean Worship").
Now the question is: if the worship was "clean" in 1951, and the spiritual language was "pure" in 1990, how come they were so different from each other, and that the worship of today is even more different from the teaching and worship in either of those years? Was it cleaner then? Or was it actually less "pure" then, and only clean now? What say you, Lett, Splane, et al? -

"Pure worship" = unquestioning loyalty to and obedience of the GB.

Ding,,,,
You see!!!
That title just 2 words,,,,, just 'loaded' full,,,, of loaded language.
Typical of induced cult mind control.

Just 2 mundane insignificant words.
But in JW dubland they are significant,, heavily loaded,, with a heavy, heavy meaning.

"Uninspired songs"
What is an inspired song?
Songs are usually inspired by events.
Gonna Fly Now, theme from Rocky is an inspiring song

1951
return to the past?
Same theme as 53 years agoMy first thought was that they won't even have to work up new talk outlines, just "cut 'n paste" like they do WT articles. But that's all wrong because the religion is nothing close to the religion that it was in 1951! EVEN THEIR BIBLE HAS CHANGED!
