Yes, that paragraph 15 caps a theme carried over from the previous WT, a campaign to tamp down the resentment of being booted out of Bethel, reassigned, or removed from one's position and complaining about it.

Sorry about the mangled headline... I must admit that I never fully bought into the literal belief of global genocide, and used to argue that all of that "blood up to the horse's brible was "symbolic imagery."

January 2020 Watchtower - the anointed
by Listener init's very odd that the jan. 2020 watchtower was nearly 3 weeks later than normal.
another odd thing about this watchtower is that it has two articles (about the anointed) that is very similar to two articles they wrote only four years earlier.the fact that they have even reprinted two articles that are only four years old suggests that they continue to have numerous problems surrounding their teaching's of the anointed and problems with those claiming to be anointed.here are a few of the differences between both the 2016 and 2020 articles -2016 watchtower states.
anointed christians need to be taught by jehovah just like everyone else.. 2020 watchtower statesof course, anointed christians need to be taught by jehovah through the congregation just like everyone else.. four years ago, they acknowledged that it was only jehovah who were teaching the anointed but the newest watchtower now states that it is through the congregation.watchtower 2016 states there will be 144,000 ruling with jesus in heaven.

Why is it that this conjures a mental image of a bunch of old codgers bumbling about in a nursing home dining room when the lights go out?

Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To
by Simon inadmit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.
we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?
what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

So, in place of solid Bible commentary with new or expanded scholarly insights, we get a glitzy revenue-generating quasi -bible...looks like the art department now outranks the writing and research gang. Gone forever the day of concordances and interlinear editions of the Christian Greek scriptures... just pricey pablum for the masses..
I just wonder: How many present-day JWs even know what a concordance is?

Anyone Tried "Sous Vide" Cooking?
by Simon ini like a nice steak but cooking one can be a little intimidating and the results hit and miss especially when it comes to getting the right temperature so getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake.
can anyone do that "finger and thumb together to check the doneness" thing?
i can't .... so i came across this cooking technique called "sous vide" which cooks food (in a sealed vacuum bag) in a warm water bath, even steak.

Steak is the essence of simplicity: season with salt and pepper, place on a hot pre-heated grill, sear the steak and move to a coolest section of the grill until it reaches 125 F for medium rare and 135 for well done. A meat thermometer is indispensable for all meats, not just beef.

Trump Derangement Syndrome Is Alive and Well
by minimus ini was on facebook and a person i have known for a long time posted how trump is mentally ill and is truly a psychopath.
a couple of her friends chimed in when i suggested that perhaps the fb friend was really the psychopath.
a couple of her friends began to defend her but i was surprised by how many people defended the president!

So, I guess Trump was right in claiming he's the "chosen one" ... he certainly seems to be for for most of the posters on this thread., certainly for Minnie.
Let's see: does he match Psychology Today's criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, above?
Which of all of those boxes doesn't he check?

The length of their response is impressive. I have the impression that it may well be a form letter which they can trot out anytime sometime writes in a similar question related to neo-Babylonian chronology.
