Intertextuality: Luke and 1 Corinthians
by Neo inim looking for information about how much the author of the third canonical gospel draws from pauls first epistle to the corinthians.
a comparison of the synoptics with 1 corinthians seems to show that luke is more closely linked to 1 corinthians than the others.. consider the following passages, for example:luke 10:7,8 stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you (exclusively lukan), for the worker deserves his wages (mysthos; matt uses rhabdos, food).
do not move around from house to house.

Update: New Governing Body Pics - Have fun!
by Neo inthe twelve men who exert control over the lives of 6,000,000 people and who could put a stop to all the harm caused to families if they wanted to:
as i said in another thread, most of them started partaking the emblems after 1935. that's a clear sign that there's a corrosion of the "remnant" doctrine, because now most of the governing body are considered "replacements" of 'anointed ones who have fallen away'.
i finally found out the new gb members' ages.

by Neo inyes, we knew the disaster could be predicted and indeed it was.
here's one more piece of evidence: journalist chris mooney wrote an article in may, 23rd, that described in detail what we're seeing right now in new orleans.

WTS Official Spin on monthly Awake: 'More emphasis on the Bible!'
by Neo inthe march 2005 kingdom ministry brings up a full article about the awake only being published once a month, starting january 2006. .
but the fun thing is the roundabout way this change is announced.
knowing that the news would be a bitter pill to swallow (there should be a 'speeding up' of the preaching work, not a downsizing), the watchtower only announces the move to monthly publishing by the end of the article.
