I for one know of some "new" old light that they need to reintroduce and that being the appointed times of nations dogma which they changed , according to posters on the board , back to superior authorities being man made governments .This would have been blaspheme and treason to the kingdom crown . They did that around the time they decided to associate with the UN , from what I understand . Romans 13 does not apply any more .

All the changes. Piecing it together.
by DisconnectingDrone inpart of my job involves calculating what businesses in the uk are doing and forecasting growth and reasons behind the changes.. applying my knowledge with other bits of info here is what i suspect is going on.
firstly, the magazines, we get a public and a private edition of the wt and 1 awake.
that's 53.5 million less per month to print!

Is the Watchtower really wrong according to your standards?
by hamilcarr in'we all have a priori knowledge, so we can't claim objective knowledge.
by the way, our senses only observe part of reality.
then, how do you dare asserting that you're right?

Ok so who's the apostate that thinks they are so wise as to argue with the WTBTS? You know who you are .LOL Like zoinks if the FDS isn't the slave in charge of spiritual matters then what have they been saying for the past hundred plus years ?Now they say the GC is just as wise? Unbelievable .I can agree on one point and that is all religions are extremely devoid of "Truth". They only care about political influence and control over peoples money .

Sunday's public talk...
by kzjw inwent with the wife this week for the public talk (i simply will not sit through the watchtower study), the subject was about how poorly governments are taking care of thier people in disasters.
the speaker(who had a british accent) started by saying "burma(myanmar) had 2 tsunamis and the government sent flat screen tv's as aid for the refugees..." needless to say this dillweed lost me for the next 30 minutes of his talk about how man can't care for god's people.
i left during the study as always and returned at the end of the meeting, still burning over the glaring lie told by this "brother" which by the way no one even batted an eye in the congregation!

Yah LOL the national enquirer has the first photos of the ark on top of mount ararat .They might as well use crap like that as research material since most of the stuff the tower has printed is just as fictional and far fetched .

From what I've seen on the tele they are holding back aid and making people suffer more than they need too . Nothing about flat screen TVs tho.

What happened when Jesus didn't COME BACK QUICKLY? History shows...
by Terry inclearly people in the 1st century who were jews and christians obviously felt they were living in the last days.. they lived in the roman empire.

Yah they did screw everybody with the sudden switch on the superior authorities , if the world ended invisibly in 1914 then that means that the worlds political leaders no longer would have superior authority . I only saw that on the board here in the last couple of years .I haven't seen that in a publication from what I can recall .I think blondie wrote about that. The I am coming quickly part only makes sense since he apparently didn't yet still talks about destroying all his enemies in Revelation . Right now people have to suffer evil to prove themselves righteous .IMO

Chapter 2- 1975 -Excerpt from the upcoming book, "The Kingdom Hall No More"
by Kingdom Hall No More in"so, the society was putting out that 1975 was the year that this system of things will come to an end, meaning the wicked were going to be destroyed.
discussions at circuit and district assemblies, and local kingdom halls were given.
conversations about 1975 were every day talk.

I remember some sort of change in understanding including an invisible fulfillment ,they stated that they now had an invisible spiritual paradise rather than than the paradise earth . Don't know if that's in any publications tho .I also read the explanation in the WTBTS publication that it was the R&F fault for starting the hype when clearly it was in the magazines that they didn't plan on being in this world post '75 .Even Rutherford had a millions now living will never die fiasco so how can they just blame the followers? Some sick stuff there.

The WTBTS has at as , I am coming quickly to mean ,when it's time to take action there will be no more delay ,since that's what it says , there is a period of delay from executing judgment that has been preached about by the prophets and ministers . So far world conditions have not reached the point of distress to where God feels the need to intervene and save his people from complete annihilation .IMO
