Do they still print the days text as a booklet, does anyone know?
I preferred this verse in the old NWT - a blessing until there is no more want.
"jehovah takes the initiative to bless his loyal servants.".
this statement is a contradiction or on oxymoron or something.... if they already had to demonstrate loyalty before he acted then he did not take the initiative!.
our faith is not complete unless we are convinced that jehovah will reward....yes faith involves the certain expectation of gods promised blessings.. so they condemn people for "serving to a date", the carrot if you like, and being disappointed when there blessings do not materialise at the promised time... yet say that the carrot is an important part of faith!!!.

i think it is inevitable.
i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.
now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.
It seems inevitable to me, that AI will outsmart humans at some point. But then, I was also convinced “peak oil” was real ten years ago, and nothing came of that. So, who knows?
The Seventh Day Adventist church are doing the same. They introduced a new digital membership record early this year. In their case it was laborious and time consuming to rely on letters to transfer memberships from congregation to congregation. In some cases members were not joining their new congregations for months or even years. It’s probably a more pressing issue for the SDA church simply because their membership consists of a large number of migrants around the globe and are constantly on the move. Plus there is the issue of tithes which makes local membership important.
i remember that some years ago there was a message with information about watchtower, was owner of home depot, and sold it.. question: was this true?
can’t find any info at google.. do you know more about it?.
g..
Compared to the rest of the universe of religious organizations, the WT is an insignificant minuscule dot.
JWs are actually the third or fourth most significant Christian group on the planet. Not so minuscule actually.

which humans?.
It was Syrians in Douma who told Robert Fisk they didn’t know anything about a chemical attack.
Israel itself confirmed they used white phosphorous.

Why are you ignoring this question? What weapons did the US use in Fallujah? How can you claim moral superiority?

I don’t know if Assad used chemical weapons or not. Robert Fisk doubts whether there was a chemical attack at all.

No answer then, just insults as usual. What weapons did the US use in Fallujah? Moral superiority?

Apparently right wing Fox commentator Tucker Carlson and left wing Young Turks agree that rebel fighters had the most to gain from the chemical attack. America was poised to remove troops and support from rebels, and the Syrian government has been gaining ground: exactly not the time it would make sense for the Syrian government to provoke the west with chemical weapons.

I don’t know. I heard it on Radio 4 while driving. A guest on one of the news programmes said it was odd that our governments assumed the Syrian government was behind the chemical attack when there are other likely agents who could have done it. And our governments didn’t wait for evidence.
