Alternative Daily Text for Monday, March 3, 2014
“See, you have become well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse does not happen to you.” (John 5:14)
Jesus said these words to a former lame man whom he just had healed. We can learn two deep truths from his simple statement. First: “Sickness can be a direct result of sin” (though “each sickness is not necessarily a result of a specific sin”). (The Watchtower, October 15, 1981, page 5; August 15, 1982, page 31) Second: It is possible to sin no more. If the man would have been fated to sin, Jesus would not have instructed him to “not sin anymore.” But obviously Jesus expected that the healed man would heed his previous command: “You must … be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48) Thus true Christians are perfect, as perfect as God. They can easily stop sinning. Only because of this they have “the prospect of living forever,” because “the person who sins will die.” – Awake!, October 8, 1988, page 25; Ezekiel 18:4, GWT.

it doesn't match the daily text I see on the jw site
Of course. No, I do not take the daily texts from the WTS but my own ones. Theirs are always the same anyway.
And, as said in the beginning, currently I am only translating the German texts that I wrote over the last 2 years to English.

Alternative Daily Text for Saturday, March 1, 2014
“Serve Jehovah with fear.” (Psalm 2:11)
Servants of Jehovah are always living in fear. For example, “some Christians feel very guilty about not being able to do more in the ministry,” and therefor they are afraid of being destroyed at Armageddon. (The Watchtower, December 1, 1995, page 12) Jehovah’s Witnesses are always living in “fear of displeasing God.” (The Watchtower, December 15, 2012, page 23) Like the Hebrews, they “know the One who said: ‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay.’ And again: ‘Jehovah will judge his people.’ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” – Hebrews 10:30, 31.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are trying to ‘work out their own salvation with fear and trembling’ while “the wicked … always have it easy.” (Philippians 2:12; Psalm 73:12) “The wicked” do not “fear the very thought of disobeying God,” rather they heed Jesus’ advice to “never be anxious.” (Isaiah’s Prophecy – Light for All Mankind, volume II, page 392; Matthew 6:34) Disbelievers today are as “carefree” as were the people of Sodom who did not worship Jehovah. – Keep on the Watch!, page 23.

Alternative Daily Text for Sunday, February 23, 2014
“Let me die with the Philistines!” (Judges 16:30)
Samson was “one of Israel’s outstanding judges.” (Insight on the Scriptures, volume II, page 849) Once he “went out and caught three hundred foxes and tied them together in pairs with oil-soaked rags around their tails. Then Samson took the foxes into the Philistine wheat fields that were ready to be harvested. He set the rags on fire and let the foxes go. The wheat fields went up in flames, and so did the stacks of wheat that had already been cut. Even the Philistine vineyards and olive orchards burned.” (Judges 15:4, 5, CEV) So he was an innovator of biowarfare – he utilized animals as weapons to take from his enemies their livelihood, so that many of them starved to death.
Then he took direct action against the Philistines. First he “he went smiting them, piling legs upon thighs with a great slaughter.” (Judges 15:8, NWT 1984) Later he vaunted: “With the jawbone of a donkey – one heap, two heaps! With the jawbone of a donkey I struck down 1,000 men.” (Judges 15:16) He did not need modern weapons of mass destruction to kill great crowds of men; rather “Jehovah’s spirit empowered him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck down 30 of their men.” – Judges 14:19.
At the end of his life it became apparent that Paul counted him as a part of the “great cloud of witnesses” for good reason. (Hebrews 11:32; 12:1) He was present in the temple of the Philistines (that is, from his standpoint, infidels). There was a feast, and “Samson braced himself against the two middle pillars that supported the house, and he leaned on them with his right hand on one and his left hand on the other. Samson called out: ‘Let me die with the Philistines!’ Then he pushed with all his might, and the house fell on the lords and all the people in it. So he killed more at his death than he had killed during his life.” (Judges 16:29) So he became the first suicide assassin of human history.
Whether we are preparing attacks with biological weapons, going to kill our enemies in an open fight or planning a suicide bombing – in any case “we rely on the same holy spirit that Samson did.” (The Watchtower, December 15, 2011, page 21) What a fine example he gave for Terrorists today!

Alternative Daily Text for Saturday, February 22, 2014
“In faith all of these died, although they did not receive the fulfillment of the promises.” (Hebrews 11:13)
In his letter to the Hebrews, the apostle Paul referred to Abraham. (Hebrews 11:8) “Because of Abraham’s great faith, Jehovah promised to give the land of Palestine to his offspring.” (The Government That Will Bring Paradise, page 5) No doubt, “Abraham demonstrated faith in Jehovah’s promises” – but “it is noteworthy that Abraham did not during his lifetime receive the inheritance of the land promised to him. He also did not see his seed become ‘like the grains of sand that are on the seashore’ … These promises went unfulfilled.” – The Watchtower, September 15, 2011, page 26.
Later, God promised Moses to bring him and his people “to a land good and spacious, a land flowing with milk and honey.” (Exodus 3:8) But “like Abraham, Moses did not experience the fulfillment of God’s promise … Moses was told: ‘From a distance you will see the land, but you will not go there.’” (The Watchtower, September 15, 2011, page 19) Centuries later, “Jesus’ disciples were still expecting an earthly reign of the Messiah.” (The Watchtower, April 15, 1981, page 15) “Even after Jesus’ death and resurrection his disciples still expected the establishment of an earthly kingdom.” – The Watchtower, May 15, 1978, page 21.
Thousands of years after these events, Charles Taze Russell promised “that the ‘battle of the great day of God Almighty’ … will end in A. D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth’s present rulership.” (Millennial Dawn, volume II, The Time is at Hand, 1889 printing, page 101) In 1920, after Russell’s death, Joseph F. Rutherford promised “that the old order of things, the old world, is ending and is therefore passing away, and that the new order is coming in, and that 1925 shall mark the resurrection of the faithful worthies of old and the beginning of reconstruction,” and he called this promise “positive and indisputable.” – Millions Now Living Will Never Die, page 97.
Since the resurrection of Abraham failed to materialize in 1925, Rutherford promised again in 1938 that his followers would only have to “wait a few years, until the fiery storm of Armageddon is gone.” (Face the Facts, page 50) In the following decades, “the generation that saw the start of this age of lawlessness in 1914” was the object of promises. (The Watchtower, July 1, 1980, page 4) But “in faith all of these” – Abraham, Moses, Russell and his followers, Rutherford and his followers, virtually all of the ‘generation of 1914’ – “died, although they did not receive the fulfillment of the promises.” – Hebrews 11:13.
Today Jehovah’s Witnesses look forward to another one “of these divine judgments,” and they “expect the fulfillment of it very soon.” (The Watchtower, February 1, 2000, page 8) “Accordingly … [they] expect the great tribulation to begin soon.” (The Watchtower, May 1, 1999, page 16) “With eager anticipation … [they] await that new world.” (The Watchtower, April 15, 2010, page 11) But like Abraham and Moses, like all of God’s worshippers of old, like all Jehovah’s Witnesses before them and like all “true Christians” after them, they will ‘die in faith and not receive the fulfillment of the promises.’
