But the Revelation was written at the same time as all the other confusing writings. How does that help? Unless of course God reveals what the Revelation really means to a select group of people who then think they have the truth. Now where have I heard that before.

Understanding The Bible ... The "Linchpin" Effect
by Littleleslie inunderstanding the holy bible.. .
after many years of study of scripture, our bible study group has discovered something very important that needs to be realized or absorbed, before one can come to a correct understanding of the bible.
we call it, the "linchpin" effect... .

Black Widow spiders oh no! My garden is plagued with slugs but I found three toads over the last few weeks. Eat up boys, plenty more where they came from. The new border is coming along slowly. I will plant out the Borage seedlings in between the new shrubs when they're a bit bigger. -

They demand that a gay person stops having a gay sexual relationship. That is unreasonable and narrow-minded but I don't think it amounts to hatred of gay people.
When the Brahma Kumaris cult wants to prevent married people having sex you think that's despicable, Cofty. Trying to prevent gay people having sex is just unreasonable and narrow minded is it, but not hateful? I am very surprised at this reaction. -

Cofty you missed that gay 'people can change'. They have to leave their gayness behind because God won't let them into paradise because he made normal people straight, one man, one woman. It's implicit because the whole discussion begins with a picture of a gay couple and everything that follows relates to that. -

When the mother gives the reasons it has to be one man and one woman, it seems to be all about getting in to the paradise. So you have to be straight because Jehovah says so or he'll kill you. Is that what they've come down to, not even trying to think of a reason? What a tyrant they worship and profess to love.
Poor little girl being expected to tell her school friend that she shouldn't have gay parents, no pressure then. Poor JW kids. It was bad enough being a little girl being made to sit outside school assembly or refuse to make Xmas cards. Now these kids are being encouraged to take part in what could in the UK be interpreted as a hate incident.

Loyalty? Today's WT The RC. It's a fix!
by Slidin Fast intoday's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.

I have started to look at other references to "loyal, loyalty" and their treatment in the silver ghost bible. The results are disturbing. The terms mercy and kindness seem to have disappeared in favour of loyalty.
They are shooting themselves in the foot with this. Verses of the Bible are like songs they stick in your mind for decades. When I start to read a scripture on this forum I know how it should end even though I left in 1989 and haven't picked up a Bible since.
This will be happening to active JWs when they are told to look at a scripture in a talk or Watchtower study. Their minds will go straight to the old reading of the verse. Some will think, wait, what! This will wake some people up. Especially if they're replacing them all with 'loyalty'. The penny will drop for some.
