The new GB was never supposed to be!
Yeah, that's a good point too. We should've been in Paradise Erf by now. Instead, we got a literature revamp. Maybe the literature IS the new world! Look at me, I just figured out some new light! :)

by Nosferatu inwith the release of the new bible, i can pretty much say that the wt religion is no longer the same religion that i left 17 years ago.
it's bizarre.
they have a different bible, a different song book, a different "youth" book, a different "great teacher" book, and the "live forever" book is gone.

They added only 6 more Jehovahs to the bible? Lame. They should start using the word "Jehovah" in the same manner that the Smurfs use the word "Smurf".
"This good Smurf of the Kingdom shall be Smurfed in all the inhabited land, for a Smurf to all the nations, and then the Smurf will come"
See? We could have 4 more instances of the word "Jehovah" in there with just one verse!

The Reasoning Book was last updated in 1989. All its "secular" quotes are now at least 25 years old. It still contains tons of "old light" on "generation", "anointed", etc.
I'm guessing that this one's going to be next on their hit list for a revamp.

I thought the Reasoning Book got a revamp too? And wasn't the "All Scripture Inspired" book nuked as well?

With the release of the new bible, I can pretty much say that the WT religion is no longer the same religion that I left 17 years ago. It's bizarre. They have a different bible, a different song book, a different "youth" book, a different "Great Teacher" book, and the "Live Forever" book is gone. They release things now that seemed so wrong back then, such as making cartoon DVDs and colouring pages. The Watchtower changed the paper they print on, and the books have soft covers now. They no longer hold their convention in our city, the minimum hourly requirements for publishers has been reduced, they no longer charge for the literature, they got rid of the Book Study, shortened the Sunday meeting, opened the doors for the Anointed, and changed who knows how many doctrines.
The only thing that seems to be remotely identical is My Book of Bible Stories, but it's been revamped into color and no longer has that hard yellow cover which brought me so much dread as a child.
The NWT was the last thing that made me feel like the JWs were part of my history, as I still own my NWT to remind me of the horrible religion that I was once part of. That NWT is now "old light", obsolete, and will ultimately become "Apostate Literature".

Two years ago the yearbook related the history of the Estonia branch, first it was under the supervision of the Finland branch, then, in 1999, it became a branch, now under Finland again! http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/302011002?q=estonia&p=par#p298
This is just as confusing as that King of the North bullshit

I'm not really bitter anymore. I was bitter about 10 years ago when I found this place. Now it's just more of a frustration with my two family members who are in.
I think everyone here is at a different stage in their recovery. Give them a break. Some of them have been very hurt by their families and the organization. Broken limbs don't heal overnight, and scarring takes years to fade even just a little bit.
