I think they dumped the regular one and replaced it with the simplified one but still called it the study edition.

Time Indefinite
by StephaneLaliberte infrom a very young age, i was always annoyed by this translation time indefinite simply means: time that has not been defined.
where the new world translation uses "time indefinite", other translations use "everlasting" and "eternal".
honestly, it makes much more sense to me "everlasting" and "eternal" as "time indefinite" would leave room for god to define that time later on.

Eternal or everlasting life is a difficult term for the watchtower to use. It might imply that once you make it you would have everlasting life, which of course is only reserved for the leaders of the cult.
Time indefinite is much more appropriate as us peons might fail if we don’t do enough for them. Any good cult(or used car salesman) has to keep you interested enough to keep you in the sales funnel, while subtly telling you that you’re(or your trade in) is a worthless piece of shit.

Canadian Residential School Deaths
by Simon inin case you haven't heard, they just discovered the remains of some 215 dead children at a so called canadian residential school.
they couldn't call it a death-camp could they ... it would be too obvious.. these were where indigenous children were taken, forcibly, in order to "educate" them out of their native customs and languages and make them integrate with society.. unbelievably, this was still going on in the 60s to 90s.. of course the catholic church has their sticky fingers all over it.
what is it about those creepy bastards?

If the government goes after the Roman Catholic and Anglican Church it will be proof the great tribulation is starting in the minds of the jws.

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

FF ghost.
I heard something similar in the 80s from a circuit overseer at the pioneer meeting.
His reasoning was that eve could not possibly be created more than 30 years after Adam thus the 2005 time. I don’t think it ever was in print but from the service desk for the COs to spread

Will You Still Wear A Mask Even If You Don’t Have To?
by minimus init seems that some people just aren’t ready to put those masks aside even if they are fully vaccinated!
some can’t help but think their brains aren’t ready for “normal”..

I had a guy at the office today. I said let’s go outside, you can take your mask off. Went outside and he kept his mask on. Programmed fear is what this has become.

Follow the money. I think I said it here before. The car salesman contacts you to convince you the car he sold you two years ago is unreliable. You bite, he sells you a new one and then tries to convince you the one you just bought might break down and you need to purchase extended warranty.
Same shit different pile. Parasites

Dozy
The reason they are building is that the end is so soon. With all the resurrected after Armageddon they will need these facilities for education work.
That is their spin on it. I heard it at an assembly one time from a DO when that was still a thing. Like you said they are slick salesman playing mental tricks on unsuspecting people.

I should start another topic listing signs of spiritual weakness, but yes having anymore than half a days worth of facial hair is definitely a sign of low spirituality.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING, How bad is it really?
by pistolpete ini found this experience on reddit today.
disfellowshipping never really bothered me.
i always thought it was just another way of getting rid of members that weren't welcome anymore.. but i've changed my mind.

But I know a brother that did jail time for fraud that never got disfellowshipped. I think it’s who you know.
