  The other removal of "20th Century" was from the Revelation Climax book:

  Changed from: Revelation Climax (1988) chap. 34 p. 246 par. 1

  The John class today also wonders with great wonderment as events unfold in fulfillment of the prophetic vision. If people of the world could see it, they would exclaim, ‘Incredible!’ and the world’s rulers would echo, ‘Unthinkable!’ But the vision becomes a startling 20th-century reality.

  Changed to: Revelation Climax (1996) chap. 34 p. 246 par. 1

  NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER

  by The Searcher in

  here's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.

  it may be far more significant than many people realise!.

  and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

  Also, I don't see here mention of CT Russell being the John the Baptiser class. That's new too.

  Am I correct in thinking there's another reversal:

  • WT 07 1/1 said the 1st resurrection began between 1914-1935 and some resurrected ones are communicating truths to the GB. The new teaching is that this resurrection will not occur until they are judged and appointed over all his belongings in the future.

  Comments?

  Help needed: JC standards/questions for "Drunkenness"

  by respectful_observer in

  i'm hoping those of you in the jwn community may be able to help me out.

  an acquaintance (of legal drinking age) may soon be sitting for jc under the charge of "drunkenness".. to those of you who have direct experience either serving on a jc, or being the subject of a jc related to the misuse of alcohol:.

  - could you provide a list of questions that were asked of the accused?.

  Was he on medication at the time which may have reacted to a small amount of alcohol?

  The Truth about Eve...... is there more to the story, and has it been hidden by religion ?

  by *lost* in

  i get the feeling that there is more to the eve story than we are aware of.. if we look at the patriachal religions, they are very 'anti-woman'.

  is this based on their corruption of the bible story.. .

  yes, i think there is more to the story of eve, and our the 'origins' than we think.. father god, mother goddess.. .

  You say that all nations descend from mitochondrial Eve. You also say this is not Biblical Eve.

  I guess I'm asking, how do you know that Mitochondrial Eve is not Biblical Eve?

  *lost* can you please explain this statement you made: "Africa, china, India etc all descend from Mitochondrial Eve, but not Biblical Eve."

  What's the difference between them?

  ...i might drop in every now and then but i hope you all enjoy life, escape the watchtower(r) and live prosperous lives.. i can't say i contribute much here anyway (and i'm not attention seeking).. i'm just going to get on with life away from the constant reminder of the mistakes i made being a jw zombie drone.. i guess i'm just going to fade.......rather quickly.. of course i didn't need to make any posts here to disappear but i thought it'd be polite and very british to bid you all a fond farewell.. see you all sometime.....maybe.....maybe not.....maybe....... bye!.

  ps.

  don't pm me as i won't be checking the pms.. .

  Former Longtime Elder : Contributions

  2. friends

  for a year now, i have been handling the accounts.

  we have 6 elders and 7 ms, and none of them ( i am not serving), want to do the accounts, so they asked me to do it.

  here is what i have noticed.. 4 elderly sisters cover the whole congregation in donations monthly!

  I think meeting attendance is down everywhere.

  Repetitive items, poor teachers, q&a where the answers are already written for you, and the two messages of "do more" and "armageddon's real close".

  Not hard to see why the flock is tired and the figures are down.

  What Is The "Typical" Elder In The Organization Like Now?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was an elder, most of the elders were pretty independent 40 to 80 year olds.

  they had no issue speaking up to the circuit overseer.

  i wonder what the average elder is like now.

  +1 to SJ

  They have been stripped of any serious decision making - their instructions are more detailed and they are more scrutinised.

  I see few young (sub 50) elders these days, we have just one in our cong. I see many older (75+) elders who increasingly struggle to understand the new light, fail to keep up with changed procedures, teach coherently or keep good health.

  Many are sacrificing their relationships with their wives and children in the continual push to keep doing more.

  Today is not a pleasant time to be an elder.
