  "When we mentioned that we were "clarifying" the whole 1914-generation thing, we weren't changing our prophecy, we were merely optimizing it.."

  Chilling. The writer writes with clarity, but it is fuzzy when it came to the part about his crime being by "mutual consent"; consensual sexual behaviour with an 8-year old girl? And the gag not to tell the little girl's mother? And that the little girl is upset? Assuming it's a hoax is burying the head in the sand; if not for anything, the possibility that this sick man is walking the streets is sickening.

  WT June 1, 2001 (part II)

  by Defender in

  the second article of discussion in this issue is titled: "moving ahead to final victory!".

  the article starts to talk about christs enthronement as king and in paragraph one, along with an illustration of crowned jesus riding on a white horse, it states: "we today, have clear evidence that this foretold enthronement took place in 1914.. since watchtower article discussions are always a one way dialogue, where the society speaks and the rank and file just listens, it is easy to make assertions.

  in a normal two way dialogue, when one says "i have clear evidence" for something, the other party will not just nod his head in agreement, but would rather demand to know and see what this clear evidence is and would want to proceed and examine it thoroughly.

  Additionally, if increase and growth is a sign of God?s blessing, then how do we interpret the latest decrease of JWs numbers in several countries around the world?

  Tough. Looking at the numbers from around the world, it does seem like the waters are drying up in the JW pool.
  

  Interesting write-up, defender. Where's Defender?

  BTW, Part 1 is here

  Thanks blondie. I've done a quick check myself, and found what you wrote to be true: the WT has touted David as a courageous man, now, as jgnat has clearly noted, they're saying to seat in the back seat and have total trust. David+Courage into the WT CD-ROM turns up infrmative results.. One eample here:

  WT 7/15 1993: Tenderly Shepherding Jehovah's Precious Sheep:

  The Fearless Shepherd David: ..... Although David?s work as a literal shepherd was lowly, at times it called for great courage. For example, when sheep from his father?s flock were carried off on one occasion by a lion and on another by a bear, David fearlessly confronted and killed the predators. (1 Samuel 17:34-36) This was a remarkable display of courage when one considers that a lion can kill animals much larger than itself. And the Syrian brown bear that used to inhabit Palestine, weighing as much as 310 pounds [140 kg], can kill a deer with a single blow of its powerful paw.

  David?s courageous concern for his father?s sheep...

  David's courage was thus not blind, like the WT requires; he had some preparation, according to the bible story, and of course, had years of experience and emcounters where he'd displayed courage.

  Yes, in days gone by the WTS emphasized why David was so courageous, because of the bear and the lion. But no more, they want the r&f to depend on them, the WTS.

  Blondie: do you have any WT reference(s) per this?

  jgnat: interesting comments.

  blondie: good review.

  Per parags 10-13: the WT presents their explanations to the questions [1) who subjected the creation to futility? 2) What, though, is 'all creation' referred to in the passage] starting with "some have pointed to ....", "some have said...." etc as if their view is new. They're not. If the WT writer had access to the iNet, as I belive they would, he/she would have found links on commentaries on the book of Romans where these issues are addressed. WT pillages Christiandom's pantry, and present the goods to JWs like manna from heaven.
