Why does all of this call to mind the struggles of the mastodons, saber-toothed tigers, or whatever, struggling to extricates themselves from the La Brea Tar Pits only to sink deeper into the morass?

The Society debunked the rumored new light on the F&DS in 1973
by Leolaia inthis is the summary of the rumored new light from the 2012 annual meeting, as posted by cedars.. the faithful and discreet slave was not appointed at pentecost 33ce, meaning that there has not been a continuous line of members of the slave class on the earth down through the ages.
the slave class was only appointed for the first time by christ in 1919.the faithful and discreet slave is a small group of anointed brothers during jesus presence serving at watchtower headquarters who are directly involved in the preparing and dispensing of spiritual food.
the individual members of the governing body are not the faithful and discreet slave.

Any other established religions take neutrality stand in 1914?
by irondork inthe bible students' non-participation in ww i is one of the key reasons why jesus selected the wts as the organization through whom god would save the world, according to myth.
were there other religious groups or organized groups of any kind reported on from that era that refused military service?.

JEHOVAH
by minimus indoes that name produce in you any feelings?.
when you see that word, "jehovah", does it make you think of god?.
do you ever use that name- jehovah- in your life at this point?

In my view, the "Jehovah this" and "Jehovah that" overuse has the opposite of its intended effect: it cheapens and trivializes it.

"What is the original Greek word; why is the WTS so bashful? Not even a reference to a Bible Greek lexicon."
Blondie: It appears the WT, despite having published The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures and Benjamin Wilson's Emphatic Diaglott, recently began a push to keep JWs away from the orginal Biblical as one component of its "simplification" (read dumbing down" campaign. It seems to be a newly enforced policyof theirs never to identify the Greek or Hebrew words directly in print.

Is "Gog of Magog" Satan?
by leaving_quietly infor as long as i can remember, eze 38 was, and still is, an end-times prophecy about how satan would come up against jws because jws would be "dwelling in security" (ez.
38:14) after all the other religions are destroyed.
this is pretty much the most terrifying chapter in the bible for me, understanding it as jws do.

Fernando, I've noticed how the WT, when it curretnly refers to Greek or Hebrew words, does so indirectly and not by specific identification as they once did in their articles and talk outlines (i.e. "cosmos", "oklumene" "nephesh", "pysche", "porneia", etc.)...
It seems they consciously want to steer readers away from delving into the original languages... strange for an organization that published as many as 850,000 copies of the Kingdom Interlinear Translation Of The Christian Greek Scriptures as recently as 1985, not to mention the Emphatic Diaglott... remember these?
By the way, the Interlinear is something of a collectivle item, offered occasionally on ebay for abut $40 or so.
