I'll play devils advocate and say that I don't mind the grey colour. Need all bibles be your typical black? No. Let's focus on attacking the reasons for this revision and the content rather than nit picking on the appearance.

I understand all your points but remember this is a cult, they change things to suit their peculiar beliefs... so why change it in the first place is my point. It was understood in their old rendering. BTW they do consider oral as a deviant sexual act and there is a "dont ask dont tell" policy more or less regarding it. I mean if they consider it to be a homosexual act if say a straight man desperate for a BJ pays a gay prostitute for one then why make it that complicated isnt it all just porniea anyway? This change was specific: submit to homosexual act... very strange

God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled.
Those who are sexually immoral
idolaters, adulterers,
men who submit to homosexual
acts men who practice homosexuality
Are they preparing to make oral sex a disfellowshipping offense? Submit to homosexual acts...... hmmm

A small observation from the AGM...
by sir82 in...but it struck me as significant anyway.. i attended at a jw assembly hall, and was sitting behind a pretty typical jw family.
2 kids about ages 8 & 5, frazzled hen-pecked husband, and....the mom.
the lady of the house.

I am thinking new Insight volumes as well. So many changes since 1988 plus most of the Insight was copied from the old AID book and that was written by one of the "evil slave" so they may want to further distance themselves.

Duped by my dub mother
by Faithful Witness ini'm not sure what wenr into my mother deciding to send me this email.
i am just sick, and sick and sick of her treating my children and me like we don't matter.
she sent this message, and when i replied she told me it was a joke and then rejected my invitation to lunch, since they'd already made plans with their friends who are moving to the different congregation.

Re. Rearranging: They often do this at the suggestion of the CO or DO. Typically because there are issues on elder bodies or not enough elders or ministerial servants. Also could be due to small attendance which is the case in many congregations in my area.

Answers flowed freely, parroted right out of the watchtower with no thought or emotion. The iSheep were very accepting of the "wonderful adjustment in understanding" from their lords and saviors the GB of Jehovahs Witnesses.

Due to Oct 5th WT Biz Meet all meetings for that week are cancelled
by illoowy ini was informed that due to oct 5th wt biz meet all meetings for that week are cancelled,.
i asked if the mid week meeting was also and was told yes, because of the assembly.. it seems there's an overload of theocratic alternative banqueting feasts available so.
that the regular menu at the kh is not necessary for that week.

Yeah. I always wondered how many witnesses were secretly happy whenever a meeting got called off.
more than would ever admit it!
