This one is relatively harmless, but what it implies isn't: It sets the precident that if they think a scripture means a certain thing, they'll have no problem taking liberties, and they have many times.

“Do not gaze about!”
by slimboyfat inso many changes in the 2013 nwt seem needless and spoil familiar phrases.
take isaiah 41:10 in the nwt classic rendering:.
do not be afraid, for i am with you.

Zechariah 5:9,10:
Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward, and they were soaring in the wind. They had wings like the wings of a stork. And they lifted up the container between the earth and heaven. So I asked the angel who was speaking with me: “Where are they taking the eʹphah container?”

Why is it now that all the angels and 144,000 anointed are white haired men in their 60's ?
The JW answer would be that all angels in the Bible are depicted as men (PS, they aren't), and that white hair signifies age and wisdom.
HOWEVER, there's absolutely no reason, Biblical or otherwise, to make them all caucasian.

I don't remember the Bible saying anything about a bunch of vindictive guys from New York getting raised to glory and then immediately turning around to wreak havoc on the population.

A picture in this week's WT shows the annointed after being raised to heaven, when they start "smashing the nations". Creepy!! I wonder which one is which. I imagine AM3 is out front, it seems like something he's eager for. They look like a gang of thugs!

What’s Your Opinion of Companies That Decide To Stop Doing Business With You Because of Politics?
by minimus ini think it’s terrible.
if someone wants to believe in a political party they should not be punished or censured because of who they like or what their politics are, right or left.

The free market takes care of things like that. One long-time business in my region tried banning republicans, and were out of business within the year. Doesn't work as well with big tech unfortunately as they have more of a monopoly.

the GB has just cancelled the next two years
by neat blue dog ineven some democrats are advocating for reopening society, and are at least hoping for some point in 2021, but the governing body just announced that they're canceling the assemblies in 2022 as well, aiming to restart in 2023. .
they're really milking this 'pandemic', because as soon as things go back to normal that sense of urgency will start to die again, and publisher counts / meeting attendance will go down as well.
i wonder how many jws are suffering form (additional) depression from this as well, because with meetings, assemblies and conventions at least you could see and meet new people, as well as socialize.

any additional depression that may be caused by isolation might be offset by the absence of anxiety caused by the weekly doom and gloom sessions
Any true believer is also regular at zoom meetings and JW Broadcasting, so there is no balance. In fact, many JWs sincerely believe that the pandemic will lead to the Great Tribulation.
most of the Churches around here have been meeting in big Marquee tents set up in their parking lots
Because most Christians are also politically conservative. JWs on the other hand have been blatantly virtue signaling about their compliance with the 'superior authorities' and how seriously they're supposedly taking things.

Now, everyone is stuck within the same small social group with little one on one interaction, because JWs tend to be more scared of the 'pandemic' as they view doing otherwise as being disobedient to the GB. Much of the civilized world is on hold, but perhaps JWs even more so, as they can't turn to 'worldly' people for companionship and their already small community is now even smaller.
