Hoser,
The recent elder's school were same-old-same-old. Nothing new.
for all those who are still hanging on to the figurative fence, the gb/wbats do not like you.
with the many recent successive adjustments, changes, new light and new bible, fear tactics and the new meaning of gods name, many who were on the fence have went to their respective sides of the fence.
wether that side is the brainwashed, cult following, ultra jw side, or the eyes opened, i can see ttatt, i want out side, this is what they want.

Re: Use of revised New World Translation
Dear Brothers:
Since the October 5, 2013, release of the revised English edition of the New World Trans- lation of the Holy Scriptures, your appreciation of this superb translation has no doubt become greatly enhanced. Now that most English-speaking congregations have a modest stock of the re- vised New World Translation on hand at the literature counter, please proceed with offering this translation of the Bible to those studying the Bible, to regular return visits, or to other sincerely interested persons in the field ministry who express a desire to have a Bible. If you would benefit from having additional copies for your personal use, there is no restriction on requesting them at the literature counter. The regular-size, deluxe Bible ( nwt- E) is not a special-request item, and efforts will be made to maintain a modest supply at the Kingdom Hall so that they are readily available for use in the ministry.
Some may be hesitant to place the regular-size, gray deluxe Bibles with individuals when making return visits or encountering interested persons in the field because of the tangible value of this printed edition. However, we advise you to apply the direction given in the “Question Box” on page 2 of the December 2011 Our Kingdom Ministry . With regard to offering literature to an individual, it stated: “If he demonstrates genuine interest, we may leave him two maga- zines, a brochure, a book, or other literature that we are offering. This is true even if we discern that he has little or no money to donate toward the worldwide work. (Job 34:19; Rev. 22:17) On the other hand, we would not leave our precious literature with those who do not appreciate it. (Matt. 7:6) . . . Publis hers should use good judgment to determine the individual’s interest.”
Congregations that use tables or carts for public witnessing should take note of the third announcement on page 4 of the February 2014 Our Kingdom Ministry. It states: “ When engaging in public witnessing using a table or a cart, publishers should not display Bibles. However, they may have Bibles available to offer to individuals who request one or who demonstrate sincere interest in the truth. ”
It is our hope that many more will “form a longing for the unadulterated milk of the word” as a result of having access to a reliable, easy -to-understand translation of the Bible. (1 Pet. 2:2) We send our warm Christian love.
yes, it time to gather and 'keep doing this in remembrance of me.

Every Sunday morning I hear comments from the stage that don't make sense Minimus...
here are some highlights from the magazine.
the first article, "imitate the faith of moses", teaches how moses didn't remain in pharohs court, they then skillfully spin getting a decent paying job and career as equaling "enjoyment of sin", and how those who have "enjoyment of sin" will die at armageddon with everyone else who enjoys their job.
here are some quotes from the article.... "when tempted to engage in sinful conduct, ask, what future do i want for myself?....
you may be more at fault than you realize.
WTF. This people are gonna tell the R&F to drink the coolaid and die anytime now!
get ready for all the pointless, stupid speculation folks.
or maybe not, do modern dubs even remember or care about this aspect of their end-times nuttery?.

this is from genesis' bible highlights:.
wt says:.
3:8did jehovah god speak to adam directly?
Thanks Blondie.
Intereting: So even if the Genesis account conveys the impression that God spoke directly to solitary Adam..
"Later they heard the voice of Jehovah God as he was walking in the garden about the breezy part of the day, and the man and his wife hid from the face of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden." - Genesis 3:8.
I don't see anything that "conveys the impression. Is plain and simple: The voice of Jehovah God.

Many JW's were slaughtered in jehovahs (ironic) name and Watchtower white washed the issue until 1996 when they did a tiny apology in an article, to paraphrase they said "We were not referring to all Jews" etc etc.
Snare, is there a link to see this?
