That is exactly what they asked for, and exactly what Jesus gave them:
(Mt 24:33) Likewise also YOU, when YOU see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.

He also said "learn from the fig tree as an illustration this point: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and it puts forth leaves, YOU know that summer is near"

and again "these things are a beginning of pangs of distress". Pangs indicate a baby is near, not that it has arrived.

For some reason we've taken all of the signs to indicate he is present, not that he is on his way.

For there to be 'no intentional deception', the WT would not have to revert to quote mining to make their points.

And that whole 1914 thing has been thoroughly and totally debunked on these forums.

To think they have to bend facts, misquote sources and still end up with a blind "well we trust the Bible more than we trust man" explanation!

It just insane. Generation, 1914, FDS. It's all just insane.

OK seen it.
So they state that the anointed are resurrected as they die during Christs presence, but that still doesn't explain how they have been judged worthy by then, since that only occurs at the time of the Gt Trib.

This they stated as their introduction to the New Light, in Oct 2012:

When Does Jesus Appoint the Slave “Over All His Belongings”?Jesus said that the “master on arriving” (literally, “having come”) will appoint the slave “over all his belongings.” When does the Master, Jesus, arrive?
The expression translated “on arriving” is a form of the Greek word er′kho·mai. Verses 42 and 44 of chapter 24 translate a form of er′kho·mai as “coming.” In those verses, Jesus is referring to his coming as Judge during the great tribulation.—

.

Another contradiction from them then.

Fisherman - Well that's pretty up to date!

EDIT to add:
Neither of those two quotes are actually in the Feb 2014 WT Fisherman.
Where did you get them from?

Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

Phizzy,

This was taken from the jw website when they first published the new FDS light.
It explains why there could not have been a resurrection since 1914, but is future:

When Does Jesus Appoint the Slave “Over All His Belongings”?Jesus said that the “master on arriving” (literally, “having come”) will appoint the slave “over all his belongings.” When does the Master, Jesus, arrive?

The expression translated “on arriving” is a form of the Greek word er′kho·mai. Verses 42 and 44 of chapter 24 translate a form of er′kho·mai as “coming.” In those verses, Jesus is referring to his coming as Judge during the great tribulation.—Matthew 24:30; 25:31, 32.

Jesus’ appointment of the “slave” over his “belongings,” then, must also be a future event. He will make that appointment during the great tribulation.

What Are Jesus’ “Belongings”?Jesus said: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.” (Matthew 28:18) Jesus’ “belongings” thus include more than just his earthly interests. They include the Messianic Kingdom.—Philippians 2:9-11.

Consequently, Jesus will reward “the faithful and discreet slave” by resurrecting the individual members of that group to heavenly life and by giving them royal authority over all Christ’s belongings in heaven and on earth. This is the same reward promised to all faithful anointed Christians.—Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 20:6.

.
.

So this reward is still future ("will reward").
We used to be taught that some were already resurrected and communicating truths down to earth. Well that could only be done by the FDS, and the FDS don't get their reward until the Gt Trib. Future.

Also, they have not been appointed over all the masters possessions yet - that is future too, pending that they are deemed righteous and not wicked.

So if they have not even been judged righteous or wicked yet, how can they be rewarded with resurrection to heaven?

Elders and servants get access to additional, non-public areas of the site.

Depending on needs, even these other areas aren't available to all.
