  By the way. How do you think that Luke 5:39 applies here?

  Luke 5:39 (New International Version, ©2011)

  39 And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”

  Different than what?

  This is nothing new, as they have always said the "the faithful and descreet slave and it representive governing body"

  Same thing.

  Btw, When they say faithfull and descreet slave, most of the time they are only speaking about the governing body as is this case.

  Also, Like this from the July Simplified version.

  July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).

  avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.

  (para 7, pg 16).

  Sorry, but I have to post this every where today.

  From the new simplified watchtower, obey the faithful slave means to gain Jah's approval. No need to read between the lines.

  SD7 says: I actually think the Simplified Edition will help them to stick their foot in their mouths far more clearly and effectively .

  Now there is no need to read between the lines.

  New simplified Watchtower

  by alanv in

  beginning with the july 15th 2011 edition of the watchtower, the society are producing a simplified version of the study copy.. this is apparantly for the many people whose first language is not english, and yet they live in a predominantly englsih speaking county.. the normal study edition will still be produced but it looks like the cong.

  will be able to ask for a supply of the simplified version each month.. this simplified version can be downloaded from the watchtower site.. http://www.jw.org/index.html.

  It is a very creative video* I wonder if they got authorized use of the recording equippment to make this video?

  It is a nice sanitized place. I found it because there is a lot of people reTweeting a memorial video linked to that site.

  *dang it, now I want Final Cut Pro.

  What will they say then?

  by MrFreeze in

  2. beliefs

  this is just hypothetical.

  let's say that the wt never dissolves.

  it continues in existence until the year 2914. what do you think they'd be saying about 1914 and armageddon being just around the corner then?.

  "We are in the last hours of the last days"

  "Armagaddon is just around the corner"

  "Thoses alive now whoes lives overlap with thoes born before 1914 are now getting old"

  Edited: to say, Basically nothing different.

  An exodus from faith. Deconversion from Christianity and ones eventual progression into atheism. Highly recommended!!

  "who doesn't like a good de-conversion story?

  i'm sure we have all read or heard of many, but rarely have i found any as eloquent, comprehensive and deeply descriptive as this one by an ex-christian on youtube, by the name of taylorx04.. the full video series is over an hour long and covers a great many of the standard arguments used both by atheists and apologists, describing in detail the exact mental gymnastics involved in changing one's mind on a matter of faith".. .
