Its just a guess but that could be the reason for the change in offer for the month in January.
Well, I'd say it's a jolly good guess!

YOU are bound to be like God, KNOWING good and bad
by nicolaou inlet's assume for the moment that god decides what is good and what is bad.
does he 'a' choose what is good because it is obviously good or 'b' is it good simply because he says so?
if 'a' then what is good is independant of god and he has no choice but to accept it as good.. if 'b' then the definition of what is good is arbitrary - god could decide that child abuse was good and it would be because he said so.. clearly this is ridiculous because we all recognise child abuse to be a bad thing and that is why god would never label it as good.

B.A.
I believe that the Bible is God-breathed, that the men who wrote the Bible were scribes who wrote God's thoughts.
Have you ever read The Bible Unearthed by Finkelstein and Silberman? These are two eminent archaeologists who have, in my opinion, done a great job in sifting fable from fact in the Hebrew scriptures. As far as I know, their findings have never been disproved with any worthwhile contrary evidence. The book certainly puts the scriptures in a whole new light and clearly shows the scribes wrote their own thoughts.
I'd just be interested to know your thoughts on the book.
Sincerely,
Ian

Last year Claire and I went to E-man's BBQ in Weston-super-Mare (SW England). There, amongst all our wonderful fellow apostates, we met a lovely couple who had been JWs for 50 years between them. The wife had served as a regular pioneer for around 25 years and her husband had been the P.O. and also served as a regular pioneer. They'd lived through the twists and turns and flip-flops of JW dogma. Finally, the wife said to her husband: "If they ever change the Generation teaching I'm leaving!"
Well, we all know what happened in 1995 and the pair exited, leaving decades of family/friendships behind.
I truly felt for that pair because of the many years they'd spent listening to and then peddling the lie. Many of their age just wouldn't have the courage or the energy to try something new, which made them even more special in my eyes.
So, Watchtower can flip-flop all it likes - but one day a flip will be a flop too much and the membership will finally wake up.

A Speech from JFK
by beksbks inthis seems rather timely to me.
jfk speech on religion on sept. 12, 1960. these are the real issues which should decide this campaign.
and they are not religious issues for war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.. but because i am a catholic, and no catholic has ever been elected president, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this.
