Nice tread. Who was around this forum by the time the letter leaked regarding the cancellation of the BS? Oh! j-w.com always ahead of the times!
BTW, I used to liked the BS. Would have loved for them to drop the TMS instead.
years ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.
it was my favorite meeting by far.
mainly because it was a small group.
thursday, march 3. they were uneducated and ordinary men.—acts 4:13.. in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovah’s organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
consider three examples.
first, there is the simplified edition of the watchtower.
such as the clarified understanding of “the faithful and discreet slave.”
Stupid WT/GB. The DID NOT "clarified" anything with their new understanding. They CHANGED IT. It was all different before.
: to make (something) easier to understand

BS.
Third, there are the recent refinements in our understanding, such as the clarified understanding of “the faithful and discreet slave.”
So, the explanation of the Bible's teaching have nothing to do with what it is actually saying, but is all about emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
Freaking cult.
hey everyone,.
just a simple straight forward question on exactly what the process is.
if a gb member died tomorrow, do the remaining ones choose who gets to be next?.
They use the following method:
Friend-picks-friend.
the memorial is on march 23 this year.
but all the official jewish calendars has nissan 14 as april 22!
april 22 is the start of passover!
Thank StephaneLaliberte.
My only point is: If it comes from God, and is important, it gotta be easy. Isn't it what the WT says all the time? 'The Truth is so easy". yeah whatever.

Why would God/Jesus make the super-important celebration so, SO difficult to even get the the correct date?
Beyond me.
It's like getting an invitation for a wedding where you will have to guess the correct date of the wedding based on crazy, random clues that the couple gives you instead of telling you what date is gonna be.
today is friday.

Also, it has an stupid explanation of the man with the inkhorn (Hint: New light ahead!)
i read on here that the society teaches that the seven trumpets of revelation are representative of seven conventions held in america in the 1920. is this actually true?
is it old light?
i asked some witnesses but they all gave me a look like i was weird and said it couldn't be right, and i can't check the watchtower library as i can't get it on my computer (apparently the society doesn't think mac users are worthy of the 'good news') i mean... it would be a bit...odd, wouldn't it?
I read them all
Anybody has them, say like in a pdf format?
