Yadda, it is posts like this that expose the nonsense that the GB is teaching. Are we supposed to believe that the GB recieved new light from Jah on this matter or have they instead listened to reason and accepted apostate reasonings?

A knock-down argument against the WBTS interpretation of Matt 24:45-47!
by yadda yadda 2 inthe wbts teaches that in 1919 jesus inspected all of christendom and appointed the wbts "over all his belongings" in fulfillment of matthew 24:45-47: "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.
truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

The "Sign of the last days" and 2 Timothy 3:1-5
by EdenOne ini've just published on my website a new article: the "sign of the last days" and 2 timothy 3:1-5 (click to visit).
it contains a critical analysis of the context of 2 timothy 3:1-5 and a refutation of the connection with matthew 24:3, and therefore, of the expression "sign" + "last days".. the article is divided in the following parts:.
introductionthe composite nature of the expression "sign of the last days"the context of 2 timothy 3:1-5the message of 2 timothy 3:1-5two fallacies about the "last days"conclusiondue to its lenght, i won't post it in full here, only the introduction:.

It's not your normal ex-jw story in that it is really frank. There is a lot of discussion about sex and this appears to be what ultimately woke Maurica (the former bethelite) up. It also discusses JW sexual repression from a female's point of view.
Maurica's story has been re-written (or reported) by Richard Kelly so it is unkown as to how 'dressed up' this story has been made but it actually reads more like a colorful novel than real life and makes for an enjoyable read. I say enjoyable because Maurica is not longer naive (like most JWs) and I don't doubt she is in a much better place.
It is a real good lesson in how the sexual repression encouraged by the JWs screws people's lives up.

This must mean that they are not doing it right. They should be gathering as a whole family, grandparents, their children including their partners and all their children. It would make quite a gathering within some families, enough for a bible study group.

Looking for a certain Watchtower Magazine
by truthlover1991 ini don't know if this is the right place to put this topic, so feel free to correct me.
i'm looking for the watchtower magazine (in any format, pdf, scan, etc) from april 1st, 1979. the one which talks about how jesus is not the mediator for all mankind.
i know it might be an elusive magazine to get ahold of, but if any of you reading this have a vast watchtower magazine library, would you consider helping out a fellow?

Questions From Readers
?
Is Jesus the “mediator” only for anointed Christians?
The term “mediator” occurs just six times in the Christian Greek Scriptures and Scripturally is always used regarding a formal covenant.
Moses was the “mediator” of the Law covenant made between God and the nation of Israel. (Gal. 3:19, 20) Christ, though, is the “mediator of a new covenant” between Jehovah and spiritual Israel, the “Israel of God” that will serve as kings and priests in heaven with Jesus. (Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24; Gal. 6:16) At a time when God was selecting those to be taken into that new covenant, the apostle Paul wrote that Christ was the “one mediator between God and men.” (1 Tim. 2:5) Reasonably Paul was here using the word “mediator” in the same way he did the other five times, which occurred before the writing of 1 Timothy 2:5, referring to those then being taken into the new covenant for which Christ is “mediator.” So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the “mediator” only for anointed Christians.
The new covenant will terminate with the glorification of the remnant who are today in that covenant mediated by Christ. The “great crowd” of “other sheep” that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the “little flock” of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant. During the millennium Jesus Christ will be their king, high priest and judge. For more detailed information, see Aid to Bible Understanding, pages 1129 and 1130 under “Mediator”; also God’s “Eternal Purpose” Now Triumphing for Man’s Good, page 160, paragraph 10; also The Watchtower issues of February 15, 1966, pages 105 through 123; November 15, 1972, pages 685 and 686, under the subheading “Leading the Way to a New Covenant”; and April 1, 1973, pages 198 and 199, under the subheading “The New Covenant.”
ADCMS is right, they don't care. I have had several JWs come to the door and they do not know this. One JW said she would look into this and return with the answer. She initially thought I had been making up the idea. She returned with a two page printout from their CD Rom and read the whole article to me. The funny thing is, she read out the scripture that states Jesus is the mediator for all men and then proceeded to read out the printout which waffled on about how he was not. They just don't see it and once the WTBTS has put something in writing they will believe that above what the bible says.
