Believe it or not , I even stopped in the study and at the end of the meeting I was talking to one of the presiding elders and he assured me not to worry they will get it right eventually >LOL How could that pass by the rest without him getting in trouble ? I wonder..... I think they mostly just updated some stuff since it is a twenty plus year old publications . That's what the elder said anyway. I give them credit anyway for attempting such a very peculiar book as Revelation , I've heard other religions give it a try on some stuff but they really sound ridiculous .

I think the major "new light" concerning the end of the world is when they changed it from a literal to a figurative end . After all nobody can prove anything happened invisibly ,what they had were dates that were miscalculated many times for the end of gentile times . Chaz russell made many a mistake in that area.

Who owns the wts?

exactly right , they can move their cash assets just like other corporations have done to avoid taxation ,I guess it's only taxable if it's in the US banks by the US government. Don't forget that jehovah always approves of when they do something crooked but hates it when anybody else does .

Help me give a reply to those who are taunting me.
by moomanchu inany good comebacks to this e-mail would be appreciated and used.. powerful thought-provoking point!!!?.
christendom thinks that jehovah won't mind if they remove his name out of the bible more than 7000 times.
so then they shouldn't mind if he removes their name from the book of life.. .

I think worldy andre has come up with one of the lamest excuses to avoid using Gods personal name and omitting it from the bible . The first commandment is jehovah is to be worshiped exclusively , so it is important to know and use the name .

Why such boring & canned answers at the WT Study?
by navytownroger inback in th 1980s, the answers at the watchtower study & the book study seemed much more interesting.
more personal experiences that somehow related to the question being asked.
nowadays it seems all answers are just repeated from the text, or consist of reading a bible verse.

I imagine that since most are faking their hours in field service, coming up with original fake situations is pretty hard to do unless you are really good with fiction . It'd be more like donut shop stories if they actually shared some personal experiences or maybe they switched to starbucks since they've been outed about the donut shops...

they do claim spirit direction but not inspiration . IMO you can't have one without the other since inspiration means to be guided ....start WTBTS spin .....................

It did kind of amaze me that the society and jws do practice the six month shunning but if you look at this article we see it mentioned to show mercy and compassion and be in a forgiving mood all the time never letting petty disputes go unsettled for any length of time .IMO tho I've seen some pretty serious offenses such as elders committing adultery and doing the six month deal where as somebody with a way less offense would have the same .I personally think adultery should be permanent dismissal from the church all together as Jesus pointed out that those doing it are liable to the fiery Gehenna .
