  1 Thess 4:13 Changed NWT

  by garlic81 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  1 thess 4:13 was changed as well from "sleeping in death" to "falling asleep in death".

  so instead of just being ignorant and sorrowing about those who have already died, it could be of those who are close to dying as well.

  they themselves shouldn't be sorrowing excessively because they have a hope talked about in 14..

  job 14:14 has been changed in the nwt 2006 printing.

  the changed "all the days of my compulsory service i shall wait," to "all the days of my compulsory labor i shall wait;".

  co said the reason according to the writing dept is that if you're doing a service for someone it can be voluntary; you can find joy in doing so.

  i know there was an article on john barr's comments at the annual meeting this year.

  i've posted the reference below.

  i'm wondering if they are thinking of changing the belief back to that some annointed alive in 1914 will be alive when the tribulation starts?

  Number of Christians in First Century

  do you know if it is stated in any wt publication approximately how many christians they thought were alive in the first century from 33ce onward who had the heavenly calling?.

  i found one web-site http://www.mb-soft.com/believe/txx/numberch.htm that estimates the number to be 500,000. does that seem right?

  if so the 144,000 number would've been far exceeded back then.

  New Age Requirement for MTS

  by garlic81 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at our 2 day circuit assembly this weekend they made an announcement for those interested in attending the ministerial training school to meet with the do & co at 9:20 behind the stage this morning.

  they said that there is a new revised age requirement, and it is 62 or older.

  he again clarified 62 or older, single, and a ministerial servant or an elder.. do you think they feel they've put enough young brothers through the school and now they want old retired individuals who they can send anywhere?
