And this compares the actual number (in green) with the expected number (in red). It should have been like that if all anointed would have been anointed in 1934 (as was taught until some years ago) and they were averagely distributed in age.

No 2014 JW Yearbook (Yet as of 1-6-14)

is strange to me because it is a book that comes annually, and no word yet from the borg of it.
you don't expect something like that from the wt/fds/gb to be dlayed that much.. it makes me wonder, what's going on???

Why does the WT insist that the first five books of the bible were written by Moses?
by marmot inany biblical scholar worth his salt will tell you otherwise, and it's not as if this is a new concept.
as early as the 1700s people were noticing that the first books of the bible had numerous authors.
tell that to an elder, though, and you'll be booted for apostasy faster than you can say spanish inquisition.

Because the statement "the man Moses was by far the meekest of all the men who were upon the surface of the ground" is more credible when Moses wrote it?

Alternative Daily Text for Wednesday, January 8, 2014
“Clouds and thick gloom are all around him.” (Psalm 97:2)
The Bible urges us to “search for Jehovah.” (Psalm 105:4) Where can we find him? “Clouds and thick gloom are all around him,” said the psalmist. (Psalm 97:2) “Jehovah said he would reside in the thick gloom,” that’s why “he … covered himself in darkness.” (1 Kings 8:12; Psalm 18:11) So it’s beyond question that God can be found only in the darkness.
But not everyone wants us to come closer to God. For example, the Watchtower “magazine has long been used by ‘the faithful and discreet slave’ as the primary channel for dispensing increased light.” (The Watchtower, April 15, 2010, page 10) This “slave” even demands “appreciation for the increased light” of his followers, though this alienates them from God. (The Watchtower, May 15, 1995, page 26) “By the ever-increasing light” he brings Jehovah’s Witnesses ever closer to Satan, the “angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14; The Watchtower, April 15, 1953, page 231.

Alternative Daily Text for Tuesday, January 7, 2014
“How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff!” (Psalm 137:9, ISV)
As described by the prophet Isaiah, God himself had charged the Babylonians with devastating the land of Israel and making it “an object of horror.” In the same prophecy he announced that after 70 years, he would punish Babylon for executing his order. (Jeremiah 25:9, 12) What would be the punishment?
He told the Babylonians through the psalmist: “How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff!” (Psalm 137:9, ISV) Obviously, God likes it when little children are killed barbarously, so he blesses and praises people who do so. The prophecy was originally fulfilled by Cyrus some 2,500 years ago, “but in the fullest sense, Cyrus was not the one meant in the closing words of Psalm 137: … ‘O daughter of Babylon … Happy will he be that grabs ahold and does dash to pieces your children against the crag.’ … Who will be that ‘happy’ one?” –Worldwide Security Under the “Prince of Peace”, page 148.
“In the near future happy will be the official service of the antitypical Cyrus, the glorified Jesus Christ, to see to it that accounts are settled with Babylon” and that in a spiritual sense its children are dashed to pieces. “Worshipers of Jehovah … take the divine view of justice and so can join the inspired psalmist” in his statement that pulverizing little children makes happy. – The Watchtower, May 15, 1980, page 20.
Since all people who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses will be killed, many of God’s worshippers will lose their mate, children, or other relatives, also dear friends. (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, pages 181, 255) But the Bible clearly shows that “God’s servants are told to exult” at their destruction. (The Watchtower, June 15, 1975, page 378) “Jehovah … fills the earth with dead bodies … It will be a feast to those who are on the Lord’s side.” – Light, volume II, pages 172, 173.
In heaven there will be “great joy over the eternal destruction” of all infidels. (The Watchtower, December 15, 1988, page 23) And “life on earth after the destruction of all” family members who had turned away from Jehovah’s Witnesses or had too few hours of field service “will be a delight.” (The Watchtower, December 1, 1974, page 719) Indeed, “it will be a wonderful thing to live in Paradise” without all these people. (Listening to the Great Teacher, page 182) Even today we can sense the pleasant anticipation of this time if we regard unbelieving relatives “as though dead.” – Revelation – Its Grand Climax at Hand!, page 50.

Nowhere in the Bible will you find that there were [“THREE"] astrologers/wise men/ magi sent.
Sure, that's why my article says:
they actually were neither holy nor three nor kings

Alternative Daily Text for Monday, January 6, 2014
“I am not married!” (Luke 1:34, CEV)
An “angel” came to Mary’s home and talked to her. (Luke 1:26) She told her visitor that she was not married and was still “a virgin,” then she asked him: “How can I have a baby?” (Luke 1:34, NLT) Shortly thereafter the “angel” told her that she would soon be pregnant. (Luke 1:35) Who was the “angel”?
“In the original Bible languages, the words rendered ‘angel’ … literally mean ‘one who brings a message’ or simply ‘messenger.’” (Awake!, March 8, 1990, page 20) “Both … words translated ‘angel’ in the Bible … are also used with reference to human messengers.” (The Watchtower, December 1, 1969, page 735) The apostle John once met “seven angels with … seven trumpets,” and indeed in the 19th century ‘military post trumpets were used by the postilions’ in some countries. (Wikipedia) So there is no doubt that “the seven angels with the seven trumpets” were seven postmen. – Revelation 8:6.
Even back in Mary’s time there was a postal organization covering the whole Roman Empire. (Wikipedia) “In the cities, house slaves acted as … mailmen.” (Sklaven im Römischen Reich) In the past, “the postman … [had been] the most familiar visitor to home.” (Awake!, April 8, 1995, page 10) No wonder the Bible says that “Jesus … was thought to be the son of Joseph.” (Luke 3:23, HCSB) In actual fact, he was the son of the “angel” or mailman.
