Why the "New Light" in the July 15 Watchtower?
by Indian Larry init seems to me that in the past large flashes of "new light" have come when the governing body was backed into a corner.
for example the multiple re-defining of what a generation is until it ended up the ridiculous "overlapping" meaning.. what is the reason this time?
are they worried because the number of partakers has been going up?

Posting smutty comments
by Simon init seems hardly a day can go by now without someone making a smutty comment and i really don't get it.. there is no need to interject talk of masturbation, sluts, gay sex or toys into every topic.
what are we, teenagers?.
please think twice before posting such comments.

Shouldn't the clip have made it into the "Children" section of JW.org for toddlers?

cedars >> Just looking at your research.
As you pointed out, the place referred to as "Tahan" is actually Kalewa.
Just looking at the makeup of Kalewa Township it says:
Religion: 99% of the inhabitants of Tahan are Christian even though Burma is a Budhhist country and 90% of population are Buddhist. Only 4% of the Burmese population are Christian. There are over 50 churches in Tahan. This is the only place in Burma that a church can be seen from every street corner and where Christmas is celebrated.
Once more we can detect a WTBTS focusing on proselytizing Christians to their JW belief system.
True missionaries most likely will preach to pagans / heathens.

. . . brainwashed for too long (short answer).
Although collectively called the GB, its individual members are of the anointed “class”.
Talking about those having “truly received this anointing” it is claimed that they have no special insights, nor does their holy spirit abound beyond what some experienced members of the “great crowd” have. — The Watchtower 2009, June 15, pp. 23-24 par. 15

Preaching work
by Kool Jo inhello folks:.
i was just thinking...what do you think the borg would look like if they said it's no longer necessary to do the preaching work...it's voluntary?
1. some would go tru the motions just to appear 'spiritually strong'.

If they restored the V. D. M. (Verbi Dei Minister) honorary degree they used to issue, perhaps some would be inclined to volunteer for the badge.

They have stated that the anointed (sealed ones) - especially former GB members - already in heaven are helping bigtime in formulating new truths. God bless.
