Elephant,
Are you telling us that "one more wrong don't make it that much wronger", to paraphrase a popular saying?
now that the "faithful & discreet slave class" has become essentially the governing body since 1919, almost every publication is obsolete and useless!
(i know, they are useless)..... the fds doctrine is a core teaching unique to jehovah's witnesses and now i believe they will have to change all of their understandings that are recorded in the revelation climax book, ezekiel books---every prophetic book written by the society!.
Elephant,

so, i've had a chance to ponder this "new light" of the change of definition of fds now for a couple of days.
the initial reaction was of astonishment, and just plain anger, and i can see that i'm not alone in that.
however (assuming matt 24:45-47 is prophetic, parable or not):.
I can see where the adjusted understanding is coming from (the point of view that the FDS is a smaller number.
And yet, this same text, all what 20-30 lines of it, has been there all along. Same exact text that made them claim and defend tooth and nail for decades that its interpretation was exactly the opposite.....
Sorry, they have no more insight than Joe Blow from anywhere...and their "adjusted understandings" are worth as much as their pre-"adjusted understandings". Worth nothing.
from a reliable source...provides further confirmation on the gb's new status.
these are from the symposium part on the new light.. .
jeoff jackson - how is spiritual food prepared?.
WBF, you are forgetting that Satan is constantly throwing himself at them trying to derail them from the right spiritual path....After all, HS can only do so much...

methinks the wt shudav held off on that 10/01 boe letter re: reporting child abuse and "we decide who is a predator".
Is there a link to the JWs in this case?
No, no direct link. But the verdict and sentence enforce a clear message out there that child abuse and its coverup are very serious crimes that are severely punishable.
It also sets nice precedents in the US legal system for similar cases in the future...
No, not really!
Every time I am ready to wean off the site, a bombshell comes in that keeps me here.
In June it was the Conti verdict, now it is noo lite about the GB=FDS...
How do you guys (and girls) take a break from such a lucious buffet spiritual feast!

Looks like the judge on this case had a differen opinion that PennState management who decides the "predator" status....
and yes i`m familiar with the scriptures that say women should know their place , cant teach , have a head covering if they, do when no capable male is present etc.etc.. yet they can become immortal and rule with christ as an equal with men for a thousand years ?.
are their inconsistincies here that prevent women from being part of the faithful & discreet slave class ?
maybe the women who claim to be of the annointed need to be more vocal and stand up for their rights.
Don't sweat it smiddy.
It's all bull$hit anyway
the entire saga, all 3 hours are now online.
this last one took hours and hours to edit and i am so glad it is done.
(although i still have the behind the scenes footage to put up on how i did the hidden camera lol!
Dude,
That was not a slam dunk. That was Dwayne Wade playing a bunch of blindfolded highschool kids and dunking in one after another....
I can almost bet my father's farm (if he had one ) that one or more of those guys will be registering accounts on JWN soon....
Excellent job!
