  Blondie;

  "The Bible acknowledges that human governments cause suffering, are under Satan’s control, and will soon be destroyed""

  What's ironic here is the WT's publications always preach about this and try to 'mirror' what the bible says. It is ironic, an understatement if the governments of the world team-up and end the WT by prosecution of the erroneous CSA practises. And negating the Borg's tax exempt status. The borg having to pay tax, on everything, ultimately causing the borg to go bankrupt.

  Now that would be ironic. Wouldn't it??

  The Next Big Thing In WT World

  things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.

  there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.

  now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.

  Its a fantasy..

  The blood doctrine being dropped. The Borg is forever bound to the hip of this doctrine. Its just one of those things they can ""NEHHHVERR" change.

  Just like the 2 witnesses rule. We willl "NEHHHVERR" change our ""stance on this subject"".

  Because if the above 2 things go,,,so does the Borg.

  The Reasoning Book

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the book reasoning from the scriptures was released in the 1980's, and it was used at virtually every meeting for service, every service meeting, and every theocratic ministry school meeting thereafter.

  many jws had copies bound together with their bibles.

  it was huge in jw land back then.. at that time, with the reasoning book, jws were trained to keep conversations going in spite of objections, to almost stick their feet in people's doors to keep conversations going, to defend "the truth," to argue doctrine, etc.. compare the situation today with that of the 80's.

  things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.

  there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.

  now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.

  1914 tied to 607 has been tied together for decades.

  If/when that doctrine is turfed,,,it will be hilarious to see the apologists get their heads around and explain that one.

  WW3,, terrorist events and catastrophic natural disasters.

  The Borg exploits these to round-up faders, drifters & inactives into the fold.

  The Borg uses these as propaganda. To instill fear into faders,df'd or whatever to keep inline.

  Dont fall. ""Victim"" to propaganda any longer.

  1914 central doctrine cant evaporate without the Borg falling in on itself in a heap.

  Henceforth enter ""about 1914"" ,, a gradual softening of it . Softening of it,,, then gradually forgetting about it.
