Doctrinal ramifications of large increase in 2008 memorial partakers?
by yadda yadda 2 inthe nearly 10% increase in partakers at the memorial in the 2008 annual service report is a huge increase.
there were increases in the previous years too.. this massive increase is no doubt attributeable to the 'new light' this year that the calling of the 'heavenly class' was not closed in 1935, as previously taught.
the new understanding this year is that the calling of the 'anointed' class is 'evidently' still open.

The above thread has some great information when I had asked a similar question. It is interesting that the JWs will point to the book of Jude as one of their supports for the Michael doctrine, and the book of Jude quotes the book of Enoch (which did not make it into the canon) which identifies seven archangels.

Is the NWT the best...
by Narkissos inwt publication ever?.
or the worst?.
: in nwt i include the "study editions" with cross-references and footnotes, and the kit..

The NWT makes it a lot easier for a JW to communicate with a non-JW....I have noticed that when a JW talks to me, they attempt to draw me in by showing me where the bible I use has Jehovah in it, and then they offer to use "my bible", all along showing me how much more readable the NWT is, hoping to make the switch. I feel that they do this to try to lull one into feeling that the NWT is just another of many translations.
For a 'in the truth' JW, the reasoning book is quite valuable....
Not sure if the NWT is amongst the 'best' WTS publications (I have not read any of them with a non-critical view), but the NWT coupled with reasoning is amongst their tried and true 'weapons'.

how are the dubs reacting to swine flu?
by highdose ini'm just curious as the offical govement advice about swine flu is to stay away from public areas if poss and if you have swine flu to stay from everyone full stop!.
but my experiance of jw's is that they would go to the hall wether they were infectious or not.
many is the time i've sat behind someone coughing or spluttering away!

The study books, such as the Bible Teach do not even mention the faithful and discreet slave, 1914 or 1919 or that Jesus selected them.
I mentioned the 1919 selection by Jesus to my wife and she looked at me like I had a whole in my head.....so the husband of the study sister is supposed to be showing me this, using only the bible.......wow!

Aug. 15th WT- "Jehovah Only Loves Those Who Obey the Governing Body "
by flipper inonce again our lurking jw friend sent us this latest mind control drivel from the " witness only " watchtower.
remember - this is the information our jw relatives will study in their witness meetings at their watchtower study.
this is what they are currently being indoctrinated with.

I only hope that they try to over control my wife as she continues this 'personal bible study'......taking the fun out of her life may make her see some of the issues.....I am not sure though....

Very true Lady Lee, with the tools that the WTS has prepared, any JW can seem so knowledgeable when they come to your door, as long as they stay on the topic for which they are prepared......

Is the WTS preparing for a MASS EXODUS?
by passwordprotected inhobo ken and i were chatting about this yesterday.. the wts has past experience of losing vast numbers of members very quickly.
from their post-25 and post-75 experiences they will know how best to prepare their organisational structure to remain afloat when they experience another exodus.. we're only 5 years from the 100 year anniversary of ct russell walking into the dining room and announcing the gentile times had ended.
since then, millions of people have molded and adjusted their lives and personal expectations based on the date 1914. the wts must know that 2015 is going to bring with it one or two upset jws.... so, is the wts preparing for a mass exodus right now?.
