WT asking people to sell and uproot life to help w/ temporary building projects...
by EndofMysteries incheck out the new jan 2015 study wt, article, they offer themselves willingly.
they give examples of young and middle age brothers and sisters who are selling their dream homes, uprooting their lives, etc, to move to help w/ building branches, etc, and how they know it's only temporary but not worried about what happens when they send them home.
they then say will you put jah to the test and see if he won't open the flood gates of blessings for you.

NEW WATCHTOWER society image vs. CLASSIC
by Terry inon the 100th anniversary of coca-cola, the company's marketing division made a bold move.. trends in the sales of coke were headed in the wrong direction.
competitors were eating away.
at the soft drink market once dominated by coca-cola.

If I was still a Jehovah's Witness, I would love the change to JW. It was always embarrassing to say the name of my religion.
I would have loved to have this conversation instead of what I had to endure:
Who, me? Ah yes, I am a Christian just like you, in fact I am a JW. Have you seen our website? JW.org. Check it out. Bye bye now...

Great analogy Terry. You should be teaching marketing. In fact, the Watchtower transition is a great case study for a marketing class. I am fascinated by this whole process.
I agree with everything you say. But keep in mind that Coke still remains. Its market share has not change substantially despite all these blunders.
Moral of the story: Diehards are diehards. If the society said that purple is green, diehards will change their view to accommodate the society.

It is turning into two separate religions - one for public consumption and the other for internal followers. The internal piece has not changed.

Why is the set in Brooklyn Heights and all that property is up for sale? That makes little sense.

The article made me very uncomfortable. What I initially expressed, and restated by Flipper, was my understanding that this is more than wet dream. I have had many less than saintly thoughts, but I never thought that I needed help. The number afflicted seems higher that I realized, and as we know not all people are able to keep their demons at bay. Feeling sorry for these people is an emotion that I have little interest in; however, I don’t suggest I have an answer.

The New York Times has this Op-Ed piece in today's paper:
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/opinion/pedophilia-a-disorder-not-a-crime.html?ref=opinion
I found it rather disturbing. If you take at face value what is suggested, I can see how organizations like the Watchtower become a popular hiding spot for pedophiles.

Even as a diehard JW the whole discussion of Gog of Megog bored me silly.
I never understood what we believed, so I guess a change is not that tramatic.
