http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/the-kingdom-of-the-heavens-is-like-leaven/

Alternative Daily Text for Sunday, January 12, 2014

“The Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven.” (Matthew 13:33)

Under the headline “The Exposing of the False Kingdom Refuge,” the Watchtower magazine said “that the Bible unvaryingly uses leaven to symbolize something bad, unrighteousness, error, sin … So the parable must illustrate something unfavorable about matters having to do with the ‘kingdom of the heavens.’” (October 1, 1975, pages 33, 34) The book “Let Your Kingdom Come” added: “When used figuratively in the Bible, leaven always has an unfavorable connotation … The apostle Paul counseled Christians to clear away the ‘leaven of badness and wickedness.’ … [The parable] pictures the stealthy corrupting of the professed Christian congregation with false Babylonish teaching and practice.” – page 101.

How would the “leaven” contaminate the whole Christian congregation with false teachings? The July 15, 2008 Watchtower explained: “The leaven ferments the whole mass … Like leaven, the Kingdom-preaching work … has expanded to the point that the Kingdom is now being preached ‘to the most distant part of the earth;’”; then it added that all Jehovah’s Witnesses are “part of this amazing expansion of the Kingdom work.” (page 20) Thus the “leaven” represents “the Kingdom-preaching work.” Jehovah’s Witnesses supposedly preach “the good news of the Kingdom,” but in actual fact they promote “false Babylonish teaching and practice” in all the earth.

According to the May 15, 1900 issue of Zion’s Watch Tower “we may be as sure that he [Jesus] would not use leaven as a symbol of righteousness as that he would not use leprosy as a symbol of holiness.” (page 154) No, “leaven … is used in the Scriptures to represent false teaching, a corrupting influence.” (Insight on the Scriptures, volume I, page 1179) That “the Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven” means that the teaching of this Kingdom is a “false teaching” which has “a corrupting influence” on the whole Christian until now.

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/honor-your-father-and-your-mother/

Alternative Daily Text for Saturday, January 11, 2014

“Honor your father and your mother.” (Deuteronomy 5:16)

For thousands of years, parents have been persistently quoting this command when their children refused to obey them. But what kind of “honor” is it about? Everything that Jesus did was “in conformity to God’s law to Israel” which included the abovementioned command. (Insight on the Scriptures, volume II, page 58) He gave us “the ideal, the perfect, example to follow.” – The Watchtower, December 15, 1985, page 5.

How did Jesus ‘honor’ his mother? Once “the mother of Jesus” asked him a favor, “but Jesus said to her: ‘What have I to do with you, woman?’” (John 2:3, 4, NWT 1984) He did not ‘honor’ his mother by obedience – rather he forbid her any intervention in his life whatsoever. Like his fellow Jews, he likely knew that “from garments cometh a moth, and from women [especially from mothers] wickedness.” – Ben Sira 42:13, KJV.

However, we should follow Jesus’ example not only when dealing with our literal mothers but also regarding “Jehovah’s organization [which] is like a mother.” (1998 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, page 161) Whenever the Watchtower organization tries to meddle in our affairs, we should reply like Jesus: “You must not tell me what to do.” (John 2:4, CEV) We should allow neither our literal mothers nor “Jehovah’s motherlike organization” to decide on our lives. – The Watchtower, June 1, 1998, page 23.

If they accept 587 instead of 607 and use 365 instead of 360 days for "a time", they would come to 1969 and could use the moon landing instead of WW1 as the event that distracted people from noticing the birth of God's Kingdom. There is even a movie "The Generation of 1969." ... See here:

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/unless-you-repent-you-will-all-likewise-be-destroyed/

Alternative Daily Text for Friday, January 10, 2014

“Unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed.” (Luke 13:3)

Jehovah claims to be “a righteous God and a Savior.” (Isaiah 45:21) But how did he save his worshippers of old? He saved Noah and his family from the deluge that he himself brought upon the earth. (Genesis 6:13, 14) He saved Lot and his daughters from the destruction that he himself brought upon Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:23, 24) He saved Joseph and his family from the famine that he himself brought upon the land. (Psalm 105:16) In Elijah’s day he also saved a widow from the famine that he himself brought upon Israel. (2 Kings 8:1) God saved Jeremiah and Ebed-Melech from the Babylonians that he himself sent to Jerusalem. – Jeremiah 25:8, 9; 45:5.

Still today he demands people to “truly appreciate the salvation provided through Christ and God’s grace.” (Awake!, April 8, 1978, page 28) This is another “salvation” from a disaster that he himself wants to bring upon mankind. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) Jesus did the same; when he told people that they would “all likewise be destroyed” he actually meant that he himself would kill them. – Luke 19:27.

If a criminal would announce to murder others but spare us – would we revere him as our “savior?” If a burglar robs other houses but spares ours, would we go from house to house and proclaim his name? If someone takes everything from us and leaves a piece of bread, would we thank him for the ‘wonderful salvation?’

According to my calculations, ca. 38 of the original anointed from 1934 should be alive today. So it would be 13166 emotionally unstable, fake partakers.

The new light changes from the draw close to Jehovah printed form vs online form.

by EndofMysteries in

the changes are in paragraph 7 and 8 in the first chapter of draw close to jehovah book, and i fail to see any doctrine change, only the gb trying to cover up possible mistakes they've made and potential embarrassment of worldly sources knowing what jehovah's name means while they were wrong.

let's examine this new light they quote with this letter.

let's see a word for word comparison on what many will be talking about in meetings about the wonderful new light and evidence that they are the faithful slave...... .

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/there-was-a-dense-darkness/

Alternative Daily Text for Thursday, January 9, 2014

“There was a dense darkness in all the land of Egypt for three Days … and none of them got up from where they were for three days.” (Exodus 10:22, 23)

In our time there is no literal darkness anymore, but also “today it is not Pharaoh who is ruler … [but] Jehovah God, the Greater Pharaoh.” (Survival Into a New Earth, page 79) Accordingly the “darkness” does not come upon Pharaoh’s people, the Egyptians, but upon Jehovah’s people. This happens every year during the “three-day district conventions, organized by Jehovah’s Witnesses.” (The Watchtower, July 1, 2007, page 7) Like the Egyptians, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not ‘get up from where they are for three days’ because “getting up unnecessarily” and “moving about unnecessarily” is prohibited. – Exodus 10:23; Our Kingdom Ministry, February 1988, page 7; May 1993, page 6.

Some may object and say that at these conventions there is not “darkness” but rather “brighter light.” (The Watchtower, September 15, 2011, page 14) But the prophet Isaiah already warned against “those who are putting darkness for light.” (Isaiah 5:20, NWT 1984) And “Satan … put forth error … as a substitute for truth. In other words, he put darkness for light. Interestingly, it was regarding life, saying that Eve would not die but would continue to live in the flesh on earth if she did as he suggested. He promised her increased enlightenment.” – The Watchtower, May 15, 1976, page 304.

So Jehovah’s Witnesses follow Satan’s example. They too keep saying that their followers “would not die but would continue to live in the flesh on earth” if the follow the Watchtower doctrines. This started as early as 1918 with the discourse “Millions now living will never die!” and continues to this day. (Jehovah’s Witnesses – Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom, page 425) Like the devil, they ‘promise increased enlightenment’ in the form of “accurate knowledge of God’s purpose.” (The Watchtower, September 1, 2009, page 6) But in actual fact, their conventions are “a dense [spiritual] darkness!”
