This thread includes a chart. But basically they're saying "we weren't wrong, but now you have to believe this, or else", in other words, nothing's really changed at all.

I'm guessing that the move to using endnotes instead of footnotes is because they can slip stuff in there "officially" yet know that most people won't bother checking them.
It could also be to give the appearance of producing a scholarly work, like scientific journals do. We know better, though, don't we?

Did your parents force spiritual goals on you?
by Comatose ini was thinking today about my childhood.
i knew from a young age that the proper response to a question about what i wanted to be when i grew up was pioneering, missionary, bethel, or c.o.
i was taught from childhood not to want to be a fireman or astronaut.

have been told over the last 45 years it was my choice, not the way I or my friends remember.
Wow, does that ever hit home with me.
Yes, it was "my choice" to drop out of college at 18 and start working for a Brother™, when my mother constantly nagged about how expensive my schooling was (tuition was covered, the only thing to pay for was books and transportation).
Yes, it was "my choice" to "smarten up and get Baptized™" at 17 when my mother threatened to blackmail me over her imaginings about my sexual liasons with secret boyfriends (there weren't any) and report me to the Elders™ and then kick me out of the house.
When a gun is being held to your head, any choice "you" make is one made under duress. It's not voluntary. It's not "your" choice. It's "their" choice, and they've bullied you into making it "your" choice.
And yes, surprise, surprise, my mother has no recollection of what a complete b!tch she was to me.

Apostate article in new December 15, 2013 Watchtower lead article major contradiction of featured scripture 2 Thess. 2:1,2
by Poindexter Lionel Humperdique inthe below is the title and theme scripture of the lead article in the latest watchtower about apostates.
notice that the watchtower is unknowingly labeling themselves as an apostate, as the man of lawlessness, as we briefly review the context of its own theme scripture.. .
avoid being quickly shaken from your reason!.

It's interesting that they tell JWs "not to be quickly shaken from your reason" after repeating the same interpretations for years and years, but then all of a sudden, they publish a bunch of doctrinal reversals in the July 15, 2013 Watchtower, expecting everyone to just say "Oh okay, so let's believe this now. No problem."

Showing up to a JC indicates that you acknowledge their authority over you.
I suggest you tell them you have nothing to say to them and to stop harassing you, or don't bother showing up. Go out for dinner and a movie instead.
