  Right, Smiddy,

  I believe it's called "tinkering."  It isn't as though any of their so-called "specialists" have as much as a correspondence-course background in Hebrew/Greek.

  having grappled with this question, i decided to turn to the combined expertise at jwn.

  my questions relate to the watchtower's self-determined appointment in 1919:.

  how does the watchtower arrive at the year 1919 for its appointment?

  Hi Doug,

  I believe Paul Grundy, over at jwfacts.com, recently treated this topic; please have a look.  I don't recall the details; but trust me: as is typical, it rests on the flimsiest of premises.

  "Hmm its gone from two 318 page books to a 32 page booklet,young people cant be asking as many questions these days or could it be that they cant afford to reprint the 318 page versions LOL LOL"

  Why not save even more pages: a simple post-it note: "when in doubt, just say "NO" to anything that's fun, rewarding, or life-affirming!

  This must be enthralling entertainment to the downsized ex-Bethelites who can now view it from the outside looking in. Why don't they tack this on to the end of Christopher George's speech as a sort of coda to his "Dealing with Change?"

  long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.

  they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.

  He hit the nail on the head when he said "we're an organization built on change."

  "All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change."... NET Bible, James 1:17

  "f the JWs really believed this scenario was coming, when the pioneers "simplified", they would have sold their luxurious home, driven past the apartment building, and moved to rural real estate...."

  What do you mean Billy,  ... like selling 124 Columbia Heights and high-tailing it to Warwick?
