98 years later, the 1914 date is still important to the watchtower organization.. .
below is a screenshot of a portion of page 19 from the may 15, 2012 watchtower magazine.. .
For the ones that gave their All and lived for the end of this system - sold homes, rejected a good education etc based on that date - it's healthier to let go, expecially after all these decades.
After all, we've still 22 years to enjoy ourselves...2034 ahead.

watchtower shunning deadly by design.
today i added a new article to my blog addressing the known and documented lethality of the brand of shunning imposed under watchtower doctrine.
it is a longer read then id like, but hopefully it saves some lives.
Thanks Marvin,
Shunning = a daily living death.

for those interested:.
this is a pdf of the first volume of the new world translation.
it was released in august of 1950 and shortly thereafter had some additional information put into the appendices.
Thanks for this also - Cabasilas and Atlantis - excellent.

i've spoken with a number of jw's in the past who have told me that they believe the h. spirit only indwells the 144,000 (obviously contradicted by romans 8:8-9).
however, the jw i am presently trying to convert caught me a little off guard by telling me he was unaware of this doctrine (he's been a jw for 40-years) and that he understood it to be that all believers are indwelt by the h. spirit.
is he simply misinformed about his own organisations teachings here?

I recall reading the Watchtower mag not long ago re the above.
I'm sure I read that the 'other sheep' earthly class have as much holy spirit as the heavenly group. The difference seems to be, as Hadit said, only being 'led'.
If someone could locate the article on their WT cd maybe?...it would clear the mud.

2 weeks ago Mel Gibson in 'Edge of Darkness'. A little of the hereafter included surprisingly.
Last weekend, 'Shutter Island'.
Mmm, can someone explain was he - Leonardo - guilty or innocent? I couldn't make out the ending.

in case the olympics weren't drawing enough attention to city of vancouver, this year's economist intelligence unit's list of the world's most livable cities has declared the canadian city the number one urban area in which to settle down.. if you are surprised, well, you shouldn't be, due to the fact that vancouver is a consistent high achiever in these polls.
what is it about the city that makes it so great?
according to the economist's gulliver blog, canada and australia do exceptionally well in the eiu rankings due to their perfect scores for health care and education.. some of the other rankings might be more surprising, however - for example, what does one make of the fact that detroit (40th) beats both london (54th) and new york (56th)?.
Mmm, just read this.
Melbourne, a great city, and number 3 on that list. Sydney must be envious now.
