  This was forwarded to me in an email. Enjoy!

  Exciting new adjustments in understanding in the July 15th WT! Here is a quick summary sent to me and I wanted to share.

  ---

  1 -- All anointed will be in heaven prior to Armageddon.

  2 -- The inspection of the temple is adjusted from 1918 to the years between 1914-1919.

  3 -- The weeping and gnashing of teeth by members of false religion is yet future... after Great Tribulation begins.

  4 -- The shining of the anointed in Matt 13:43 is still future and not the same as Dan 12:3 which describes the preaching work.

  5 -- The Faithful & Discreet Slave has been functioning since 1919 and today is synonymous with the Governing Body collectively.

  6 -- The domestics include ALL faithful ones who are fed spiritually by the slave including the anointed, individual members of the Governing Body, and the Other Sheep.

  7 -- The Reward of receiving the "belongings" is still future, when the anointed are resurrected to rule with Christ and include both earthly and heavenly belongings.

  8 -- The Evil Slave at Matt 24:48-51.. Is a warning to Faithful & Discreet Slave.. The phrase... "If ever" is hypothetical. Therefore, currently, there is no "evil slave." Those who have acted like the Evil Slave in the past are considered apostate.

  what has been your experience with people you knew that were reproved or disfellowshipped for adultery?

  .

  i always felt that the brother was treated more mercifully and excused for it, but a sister was totally demonized..

  LisaRose-you hit the nail on the head and for the most part that is true. But, looking back, it really is who you are friends with on the committee that decides your fate.

  What Gilead Taught ME

  by AllTimeJeff in

  2. beliefs

  they mean the leadership.

  all of this is code for: one who is not ready to really study and accept how the leadership of jehovah's witnesses use the bible to their own self serving means.

  but to be fair, jw's teach that most all of these characters refer to the leadership of jehovah's witnesses, the governing body.

  Awesome quote - I always felt invisible at the meetings.

  Daringhart13-don't beat yourself up...almost every elder in every congregation that I attended would do the same thing.
