i hope this thread can be a compilation of all the changes made.
it could serves as a good reference for those who want to help the loved ones to wake up.
please list down here all your findings if you don't mind.
I took a quick glance last night and saw tons of changes. Actually I wonder how many were necessary. As someone who memorized large sections of the NWT as a child I find a certain romance in the wording, even if I'm not particularly religious anymore. Many of the changes seemed superficial and unnecessary. But then again I'm not a Hebrew or Greek language expert so perhaps I'm missng something.

i was curious if any of you who were part of judicial committees and disfellowshipped any ever after learning ttatt tried to look up those who were dfed and never returned, etc, or who are still dfed.
.
if so, tell us how it went.
I have to say that I avoided df'ing people as this is such a blow to many. I went private reproof if at all possible. But in some cases I knew the person would be better off out. In one such case the person's life dramatically improved as they became free to live a normal, non-conflicted life. We reconnected after I left and are great friends.

no more griping about uneducated, isolated people.
i am still unpacking my belongings.
because of the local housing, i had to downsize a lot.
Those tables are something new aren't they. There's one at 74th-Roosevelt Ave if you travel the E.F.M, 7and R lines.

the paragraph says:.
who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave?
that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing.
They'll say whatever they want and find some way to justify it. This is another manifestation of what many of us have been saying about WT for years now.

every congregation i have attended this is the case.
i was wondering if this is just a local thing or if it is an unwritten rule worldwide?.
hoser.
Everywhere I been. It's not written as a rule to my knowledge but I suspect it was a suggestion made by "mama" way back when and adhered to ever since.

Miss.Fit I had similar experiences. I grew up on that book. 9/11 and the Towers falling down felt eerily similar to how I felt when looking as a kid as the pictures in that book of buildings toppling.
