per a recent boe letter:.
-- new manual will be softcover.
-- elders can keep their old elder manual if they choose.
The September 16 1991 BOE (that is to be destroyed according to the new one) already contained the same instructions regarding the old book.
So, since both letters are to be destroyed and even deleted from the index, there won't be any proof anymore that this instruction ever existed ...

one of the major flaws (i say one because there are many) in the society's '1914-gentile times' doctrine is an oft-overlooked one.
very simply, the watchtower society predicted the end of the "gentile times" for autumn of 1914; yet the first world war began in the summer of 1914 (july 28) and really was triggered in june of 1914 with the assassination of archduke ferdinand.
as such, the first world war actually lends no support whatsoever to the watchtower society's 1914-gentile times doctrine despite the fact that the society has continuously offered it as support.. rutherford was very aware of this major discrepancy in the doctrine.
I once had conversation with the WTS about this question. Primarily, my question was: Why do they claim that the "seven times" started at the death of governor Gedaliah and NOT at the death of the last King, Zedekiah. They say that there was no King on Jehovah's throne for "seven times", so this period should have started at the death of the last King. Gedaliah was only a governor, and there have been other governors in Jerusalem since them.
I added the question about the World War. In August, it started. In October, Jesus began ruling as heavenly King, and SOME TIME AFTER THAT, he cast out Satan from heaven, and AFTER THAT, Satan caused World War I. This does not work out. I claimed that King Zedekiah was killed in July, so it would perfectly fit the start of World War I to count the "seven times" from Zedekiah's death.
The reply that I got was very disappointing. Basically they claimed that the "seven times" must have started at Gedaliah's death because it was always written like that in the Watchtower, even in very old issues. Their main argument was that Jerusalem's devastation started after Gedaliah's death.
I wrote them that their explanation did not satisfy me. In their reply they told me that they cannot say anything else regarding that topic, and they sent me an article about a sister who waited for decades until some doctrine was changed.
how do i get rid of it.
it's shut down all of my virus/spyware controls.
i can't get past it.
I recommend downloading and running the free version of MBAM from http://www.malwarebytes.org. It usually gets rid of everything.

it just hit me 144,000 are married to the jesus christ yet it is made of men and women all kings.
so really he is technically gay.. .
so then why are the witnesses for not for gay marriage?.
Christian men should imitate Jesus. So, I could consider 2 or 3 women a "collective wife", a "wife class", "all one wife in union with me".

Dragonlady asked that 5 years ago =)
Sorry, I resurrected this thread because I'm looking for the updated version of the "loose conduct" definition on page 93.

whether Loose Conduct required the "fondling of breasts" to be naked or from outside of her clothing
In any case, the German version clearly indicates that both breasts must be involved ("fondling of the breasts"). So, fondling one breast is obviously no form of loose conduct.

My German copy of the book says that the definition of "loose conduct" on page 93 has been replaced. Originally it read in English: "It may include the willful practice of heavy petting or the fondling of breasts."
The new definition is (own translation): "It involves, among others, wilful, repeated and passionate voluptuous embracing, caressing and kissing and the repeated fondling of breasts."
Can someone confirm that and give me the exact wording of the English edition?
