The new book is just further proof of the dumbing that is going on.
Besides the ommission of any specific about, there is virtually nothing said about 1914.

It is a wonder they don't just script the prayers as well - after all we are part of God's united earthly organization? Aren't we? -

I once conducted the Ministry School and had a Service Meeting Part in a full beard that I had grown when I was on holiday.
In out totally clean shaven congregation that really put the 'cat amongst the pigeons'. Some loved it but unfortunately the PO hated it and took on his self to personally counsel me. I simply replied that as far as I was concerned the beard ban reflected more the right wing politics of the Society than anything in the Bible. That was about as rebellious as I ever was.
Like Min I too was often the sole elder not to vote for various things, including against disfellowshipping people in JC meetings. But I would regard that those sort of things as a matter of principle not rebelliousness - there is a huge difference -

Jehovah's Witnesses a religion with nothing to celebrate
by eyeslice inthis is a re-hash of a post i made a few years back when i had only just 'left'.
but as time has gone by i have become even more convinced that the witnesses are, how can i put this, a fairly miserable lot.
it seems to me that what separates humans from other animals is our culture and traditions.

The ban on wishing people a merry Xmas always seemed a bit silly to me. I once worked with a young pioneer brother on Xmas day who wished everyone a merry Xmas in return. It was just a bit of a laugh. After all, it is not as if celebrating Xmas is on the same level as mass murder or something. And you can't exactly have wished people a crap Xmas, though perhaps that what the Society really wants.

The sad thing is that this sort of rubbish does circulate amongst the rank and file.
Love it or hate it, religion is going to be around a long time - communism proved it couldn't be destroyed. -
