Jon:
There are a lot of interesting articles on that site. And I appreciate that the ones I've looked at (so far) appear to make an effort to not be inflammatory in their writing style. Thanks for posting this.
Take Care

12Qualifications for Gods Sole Channel--interesting article from the meletivivlon site
by Jon Preston inqualifications to become gods channel of communication[this article was contributed by apollos].
the new teaching of the appointment of the faithful and discreet slave has arguably made 1919 an even more important date to jehovahs witnesses than 1914. appendix b1 of the revised nwt bible shows a time line of the message of the bible in relation to gods rulership.
it is of note that the official doctrine of the establishment of gods kingdom in 1914 is not even mentioned only that satan was cast down around that time.. ever since the 1919 doctrine was announced at the 2012 agm, and subsequently published in the july 15th watchtower 2013, the appointment of the slave seems to have become a much more prominent topic in our teaching, and indeed in general discussion among witnesses.. of course we should remind ourselves that this new level of interest really has nothing to do with the date, and everything to do with the nature of the appointment.

Comment (from comments section) on this blog/thread. The main writeup is concerning the Nisan 14/15 question. But the particular comment has numerous non-Biblical Christian references to a weekly Lord's Evening Meal.
The references appear to be drawn from this Wiki article.
Another thread mostly on the Nisan 14/15 issue.

Why Trolls Start Flame Wars
by Bangalore inwhy trolls start flame wars: swearing and name-calling shut down the ability to think and focus.http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/02/trolls-start-flame-wars-swearing-name-calling-web-shuts-ability-think-focus.html.
internet psychology 101psychological studies show that swearing and name-calling in internet discussions shut down our ability to think.. 2 professors of science communication at the university of wisconsin, madison dominique brossard and dietram a. scheufele wrote in the new york times last year:.
in a study published online last month in the journal of computer-mediated communication, we and three colleagues report on an experiment designed to measure what one might call the nasty effect.. we asked 1,183 participants to carefully read a news post on a fictitious blog, explaining the potential risks and benefits of a new technology product called nanosilver.

The 2013 WTLib has both the rNWT and the previous Reference Bible. When you mouse-over a text it is the rNWT that is in the popup.
So far, besides including the latest pubs, I see no other changes. (Wait, it includes the "Research Guide" also.)

In a 40 year trip, it averages roughly 11 months, 13 days per stopover. I take it the stopovers were for the purpose of keeping them in the wilderness until the 40 years expired.

1914 - "A Turning Point In History"?
by Bobcat inthe february 2014 public wt has a cover series of articles dealing with world war i, and by inference 1914. the articles describe wwi as 'causing the world to be changed' and as "a turning point in history.".
setting the wt's defective 1914 chronology aside for a minute, how do these statements about wwi coincide with the view of the nt?.
certainly wwi was a big war.

Jam:
For your research, Numbers chapter 33 should be useful. It lists the 42 stopover points during the wilderness stay.
