The stars of Yuggoth and Alcyone must be in alignment, for I find myself nodding approvingly at SlimBoyFat's analysis above.
When will this God-damned AGM finally be in the past so that speculation can be replaced by mockery?
the best conjecture seems to be that the gb are going to drop the literal 144,000 teaching, especially in view of the december watchtower that pointedly does not mention the 144,000 number.
if they are dropping the literal 144,000 number, but still claim that only a small number are anointed, and can partake, and that only a few are left on earth, then it is fair to ask what has really changed?
they are simply clearing up the embarrassing situation that there were obviously more than 144,000 "anointed" believers from 36 ad until now, and that the number of partakers has been increasing in recent years.

this file is being passed around by jehovah's witnesses concerning adjustments in understanding the 2013/7/15/watchtower.
the first draft they prepared had a typing error, and nevada sent the draft back to the jws for correction.
they corrected the typing error and sent it back to nevada.

"...those charts are very revealing on so many levels. First it shows how complicated this religion is. Second, the WTS makes it look like they are the only ones who understand the deep things of the Bible - of course, if that was really true than you wouldn't have a column on the left of those charts entitled "Previous Understanding".
Wonderful point clearly stated.
TRUTH is simple.
i am a newbie to ttatt.
i have been reading your posts for a few months and joined in a few times.
thank you so much for taking the time to write you experiences it really helps us newly awakened ones.. so here is my story........ my name is 70wksfyrs and me and my kids are victims of domestic violence at the hands of a so called jw.
I'm an atheist.
Believe it or not, that's OK.
Here's the answer to your question: There is no god, there is no "spiritual realm" populated with any kind of "spiritual beings." You do not have an immortal soul and you don't go to heaven when you die.
What is "the Holy Spirit," the ghost of a ghost? There is no Magic Spirit.
Unburden yourself of supstitions ans accept full responsibility for your life.
...or blame the boogeyman.
This BS (Bible Stories) is made up by sociopaths who are power-tripping with the "authority" you give them over your life. They are FRAUDS who are more effed-up themselves than you will ever be, but they so love their titles and the submission you offer them.
They're like Charlie Manson with a haircut and a J.C. Penney three-piece suit.
sept. 12th (tomorrow night) in los angeles right by the freeway - 405 and santa monica blvd.. i'll be there!.

gregorio smith is an independent filmmaker and writer.
What's the reason for using TRUTH and KINGDOM for the magazine titles?
If they aren't accurate in that, what other doctrinal blunders did they make?
How many were in the audience? 6? 25?
They've got a real genius marketing plan.
the tv news about syria is truly disgusting, and it is only the tip of a much bigger situation that has been going on for milleniums.
:"mans inhumanity to man".
but i can't get the scripture at james 4:17 out of my mind.
God gets to "talk the talk."
He doesn't have to "walk the walk" because he doesn't have feet.
like the title said, i shall have visitors (jw young men) next week.. i don t want to scare them away right away, i wish them to have a wake up call.
so what do you suggest?.
shall i inplant one or two questions the first meting, or not?.
Cook them over an open hardwood fire. The hardwood smoke adds a delicious yumminess. Dispose of the bones properly.
these days my jw past stay safely under wraps from nearly everyone.. i dont dig it up- and i see no need to talk about it with anyone.. sometimes i feel as if my past is a large and terrible secret, and i will be found out eventually.
people can sense i am different.
i never talk about my family.. i guess people chalk it up to being a private person or let me be a mystery.. however, there is one thing that i feel completely reveals me as having been raised a jehovahs witness:.
I burst into flames if anyone says "Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah" in my presence.
If anyone says "Yod He Vah He" I give them a pot of gold.
