You know, I saw a documentary a while ago about our concepts of time, it was explained that time is not as easily definable as we think. And that it is not linear, it doesn't "stream" forward as we are accustomed to think. At least that's what scientists say.

Thanks Mrs Cedars. And thanks Cedars for writing another interesting article. Sometimes I get the feeling that the GB folks are quickly digging their own "graves". This and the latest BOE letter make them even more open to attack.
@Soft+Gentle: I wouldn't get my hopes up. Sorry to say this, but look at the many things that are already openly wrong, who's bothered with it? Even if people see things going wrong, they'll "wait on Jehovah" and do nothing. They don't see that they have responsibility, they just wait and shut their eyes. It's the same with my family, unfortunately. They won't be phased with this latest change. Many have a "I don't care, I just hope the end comes soon" attitude, it's what they focus on. Doctrinal questions and things that don't add up are of secondary importance.

Questions on new understanding (FDS - GB)
by Weana insome questions arise with the new understanding:.
was there a slave class between the 1st century and the 20th century?.
in w march 1, 2004, it was stated, that the slave could not be a single man, because "acording to jesus words" the slave had started his work in 1st century and would still be in action in 20th century.. was the slave in action in 1914?

Can't remember who posted that yesterday. The comparison to a Con is very fitting. They progressively lure you in and BAM.

What I keep wondering is: do these guys live in a parallel universe? How far from reality can you get? Hopefully they'll get smacked right back down to earth real soon.

@Panhandlegirl: the irony is that these men are neither faithful (except to themselves and their predecessors), nor are they discreet. And they're not slaves either, they act in the manner a master would act, it's as if they think they can just take the master from the parable out of the picture and instert themselves into that postition. When this will be printed it should open the eyes of everyone inside who still has some sense left, hopefully.

Then they spent an hour explaining how the faithful and discreet slave is no longer all anointed people but just the GB as a unit.
If I weren't out mentally, then this would have been my final wakeup call.

"CULTIVATE THE SPIRIT OF A LESSER ONE"
by braincleaned inaahhh... ya gotta hand it to the wts, they sure know how to mind-control the flock into getting them to follow unquestionably.
the nov. 25th watchtower is brilliant in encouraging the sheep to be even lesser than they already are!.
as they admit, "the greek word translated lesser one means someone who is modest, humble, lowly, insignificant, or of little esteem and influence.".

@Billy: usually those saying they're humble are the ones that really aren't. "When it comes to humility, we're #1", yeah, wouldn't surprise me if that is how they think. If they really were humble it would be more like "well, we have a lot to learn and still need to work on our humility". Fistfights? Perhaps they'll knock each other out and cause permanent damage? Oops, how politically incorrect on my part, to think such thoughts.

If only the Governing Body members would take that to heart. But we could wait for the heat death of the Universe to take place before that would ever happen.

Jason BeDuhn regarding Revelation 7 and the Great Crowd
by Sauerkraut ina while ago i sent an e-mail to jason beduhn, that the society is quite fond of.
they like to quote him in publications.
so when i started researching the great crowd and the accuracy of the earthly hope doctrine i thought i might write him and ask him what the exact meaning of "before the throne" (revelation 7:9) and "temple" (7:15) is.

From what I heard, on this year's District Conventions JWs were discouraged from learning and looking into the original Greek of the Scriptures. I wasn't there (fortunately!) so I can't say how exactly it was phrased and explained, but it's no wonder they don't want people analyzing the original Greek.
@Weana: feel free to ask him. I certainly don't know what he says about that.
