It would have the same effect as if they banned masturbation. Oh, you say, that has already been banned?

...if the WTBTS Banned Liquor...
by BabaYaga inthere are those who had perfectly acceptable blood-transfusions way back when, and those who smoked before that ban.
things that were once fine become verboten.
of course them banning liquor is particularly difficult to imagine, as all of the in-depth accounts of bethel depict bethelites imbibing like crazy.

BTW, the image above from the Bereon's Manual is a prove that they had no problem with a year Zero so the footnote in the Revelation-Book is a lie.

From the Berean Bible Teachers Manual (1909):
Can anybody provide a scan of p. 238 of TheTruthShallMakeYouFree" as the German "Revelation"-book also refers to the English edition ot it despite there is also a German edition.
***
re chap.18 p.105 Earthquakes in the Lord’s Day***Providentially, those Bible Students had not realized that there is no zero year between "B.C." and "A.D." Later, when research made it necessary to adjust B.C. 606 to 607 B.C.E., the zero year was also eliminated, so that the prediction held good at "A.D. 1914."—See "TheTruthShallMakeYouFree," published by Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1943, page 239.
Atlantis, you wrote: "In 2008 there are bound to be some huge blunders!" Why do you think so?

They started at 606 and did not use a year zero so they came out at 1915.

Quick Q re: "This Generation"
by Sirona inbreakthrough!.
i spoke to my jw mum about the new watchtower study magazine and how in the first issue there is a change in "light" regarding the anointed.. she was floored and totally accepted that if they started to accept new anointed ones (non-replacements) that it *could* indicate that the society are extending the time once again regarding the coming of armageddon.
the idea is that if they accept new anointed ones, then they could be fairly young, hence they could still be around for a lot more years!.

No, since 1995 they have been claiming that people (generation) that have seen the signs that started in 1914 will not go away. Do not ask me to explain that but obviously it can be everybody.

It is a fresher wording. However, I thought they had done away with the claim that "watchtower has been published by Jehovah's Witnesses since 1879" because Jehovah's Witnesses have only been existing since 1931.

Have you changed your mind about ABORTION?
by nicolaou ini'm not after a discussion on the rights or wrongs on abortion, what i'm asking is whether or not your views have evolved over time.. perhaps leaving the watchtower was enough to allow your true feelings on abortion to find expression.
maybe abortion is one of those subjects where you still find yourself in agreement with your old jw self.
did becoming a mother change your perspective in any way or solidify your views?.

I am not into religion anymore but I think abortion is wrong. I cannot morally justify to put 'choice' above 'life'. [There might be rare medical indications, though.) So, no real change in that matter.
