According to the letter read at the KH once your current subscription expires is when it will stop shipping to your home. Somewhere printed on the magazine cover has the expiration date printed.

After that time all magazines will only be able to be obtained from the KH.

It was spun as a process change in the US to get more in line with how the mags are distributed in other countries. It was made to appear that US is the only place where mags are still mailed to homes.

But if you do the math on the estimated cost to mail just to publishers alone in the US it becomes very clear its about the money in my opinion.

Did The Generation Change Silence Apostates?

by Englishman in

here is a paragraph from the1997 august 1st.watchtower re the generation change:.

"recently, 'the faithful and discreet slave' has helped us to refine our understanding of the term 'generation' used at matthew 24:34 and of the timing of the judgment of 'the sheep' and 'the goats' mentioned at matthew 25:31-46, as well as of our view toward certain types of civilian service.

no doubt some apostates would have been delighted if many of jehovah's witnesses had stuck rigidly to the previous understanding of such subjects and refused to progress.

spin! spin! spin!

This is nothing short of manipulation and mind control.

If you don't go along with our change you might be an apostate.

however

If you go along with our new light then you are loyal to Jehovah.

mine is the story of a lady who was witnessing alone in an apartment building, and aparently she knocked on the door of some rapists/murderers/drug dealers......whatever......she was "saved" by two angels, only visible to the attackers, that accompanied her on that visit.

.

or how about the one where a householder had his finger on the trigger of a gun and was just about to pull it when.....all of a sudden....out of nowhere (drumroll please) a witness knocked on his door and offered him "the promise of everlasting life in the new system of thingstm"!!

The governing body of Jehovah's witnesses are spirit directed by Jesus Christ!

How about the guy who turned down a great job to go to the KM school, and it turned out that if he would have taken the job he would have been on the top floor of the World Trade Center.

A legend in his own time.
