today's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.

friday of the rc has the same as it's theme.

the silver nwt is alone in using the word loyalty in this verse.

Forget the GB ... No eternal life for her 'cause Jesus himself said so:
Matthew 19:16-19 NET
Now someone came up to him and said, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to gain eternal life?" [17] He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments." [18] "Which ones?" he asked. Jesus replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, [19] honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself."
Anyone not honoring their mom and pops gets nothing and deserves nothing.

Meh, it's all just a buildup to that Hezekiah Bible drama they have coming out.

The question of who man/woman actually is...

naturally leads to the question of god.

why does man need god?

why does man create god?

Why would I believe in the vast universe that there isn't life on some other world?
Even if you're a bible believer, you believe there are Aliens flying about outer space ... aka Angels. They aren't from Earth and they aren't human. There's supposedly billions or trillions of them. They have to be doing something other than watching Earth; only need so many for that.
Also, Biblically, how does one "forget" about Noah and family if they're the only humans left? Apparently, your attention is being held by something else, maybe something going on elsewhere in the universe?
These are just my musings, mind you.

Bad things happen in spiritual paradise

i bumped in this story this afternoon.

it's about a family of jw's.

it's an unbelievable story of murder that took place in 2014.. so much for spiritual paradise.. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dateline+tangled.

I'm surprised doesn't happen more often. Particularly when men are told they pretty much own their wives and wives are told to be submissive like slaves.
Had a case in Maryland some years ago where the husband killed his wife right outside the courthouse after an ex parte hearing.

Why haven't you been to the meetings?

some cong-member asked my wife this question (in the street, stopping her on her bicycle) in a rather police-like fashion.

i wasn't there so i don't know her immediate reaction and response, but she got very upset afterwards and one day later this still occupies her mind.

i believe it's an emotional mix of anger, sadness, shame and guilt.. she doesn't like this intrusion in her privacy from some jws and on the next occasion she will try to make this person respect her boundaries (or just ignore her).

My reply: I've lost my interest in trying to help this wicked system of things. Let the massacre begin!
That's usually the point where the busy body quick steps away.

Man and woman?
Well one is a male and the other is a feminine male (ie. female)
Man, wo-"man"
Being a slave of Christ is no big deal. He doesn't have a bunch of stupid rules. Hes kinda kewl, imo. You can pretty much do as you please, he's invisible and doesn't bother you. Only asks that you love and do good to others.
It's men that are the problem. Too many use religion to make you a slave to them.

Data Dog, lol, that's the first thing I did. Look it up in Strongs. Then I checked my copy of the Tanakh.
The GB knows your everyday JW won't check anything. They also know JWS aren't bright enough to know they aren't under the Mosaic Law.

Bible Hubs translation is incorrect.
Those letters are "chsd" not "ese". The word is kindness, not loyalty.
I only took one semester of Ulpan at the Hebrew University and know that's not even close to the correct letters, let alone correct word.
They could simply ask a Hassid rabbi, they're all over NYC. They'd be happy to share the scroll and discuss the meaning and put some knowledge out there.

WILL this be New Light? Is the Watchtower preparing to say out loud, Jesus is Jehovah?

First they'd have to say out loud that Jesus is Lord .... remember him? Doesn't get much mention in the Hall.
You'd probably get some serious " stink eye" for saying Jesus is Lord and Savior out loud at a meeting. A weird bunch they are,
