2. bible
while working on a comments for one of the articles in the march 15, 2015 watchtower (on types and antitypes) i decided to make a transcript of the talk that turned into that particular article.

as usual, the article that finally saw print had evolved quite a bit from the original.. anyway, here's the transcript that i also put up on the ad1914.com site.. the 2014 annual meeting program video can be found on tv.jw.org (currently found under programs and events).

the following speech can be found about the 2 hour and 8 minute mark in the video.

2014 Watchtower Library CD (very discreetly) changed the Insight article on Faithful and Discreet Slave
by Gilgamesh in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the updated article on the "fds" makes several changes although it still lists the article/entry as if it had come from the 1988 edition of insight on the scriptures, vol.

(1co 3:2, 5; 4:1, 2; compare mt 4:4.

at the same time the individual members making up such composite body, or the domestics making up the house of god (mt 24:45; heb 3:6; eph 2:19), would also be recipients of the food dispensed.

I Find This "Humerus" ( ad1914.com )

copied from http://ad1914.com/2015/01/10/i-find-this-humerus/ .

i am including this post to the site because it reveals something about just how crazy we have been at coming up with strange doctrines.

some would just chalk it up to the insanity of fred franz.. by 1951, the watchtower started doing some math: 33+37=70 so 1914+37=1951.
"Kingdom Haul" of Jehovah's Witnesses - Combining Kingdom Campaigns and Donation Campaigns on AD1914.com

the "kingdom haul" of jehovah's witnesses (part 1 of 2) http://wp.me/p4cpzs-zz http://ad1914.com/2014/12/31/the-kingdom-haul-of-jehovahs-witnesses/.

i took a break from the march 15, 2015 articles to deal with a "2014: the year in review" type article for ad1914.com.

i thought the most important events were the new financial contribution arrangements and the 1914-2014 centennial (and the many campaigns that accompanied the centennial).

AD1914.com Website has about 300 Pix from Rutherford's FBI File for 1917 and 1918

barbara anderson had a great idea for the ad1914.com website that launched on october 1st (2014).

it's still getting a lot of attention even though it was especially launched to make a splash for october 1 & 2. i'm currently one of the admin/editors and i have a lot more respect now for everyone who runs a website.. the purpose of the site is to continue to focus attention on the 1914 doctrine and related doctrines.

to keep getting attention there is now a facebook page and a twitter account where new updated articles are mentioned.. i don't think anyone behind the site thinks that 1914 is such an important issue when there are real issues such as "high-control," blood & medical coercion, lifestyle coercion, hypocrisy/honesty issues, child abuse, 'persons having no natural affection,' shunning, etc, and the religion has therefore become a hotbed of psychological and emotional turmoil.. but 1914 is still one of those "weak links" in the chain that has exposed the so-called "faithful and discreet slave" as dishonest, unfaithful, unwise, indiscreet, and ever unable to serve spiritual food at the proper time.. ultimately, the goal of the site will be, not to compete with other sites that have done such a great job of exposing the watch tower doctrines and practices.
