i was pondering this teaching yesterday.
the claim is that jesus and jehovah came and inspected all the religions and in 1919, chose rutherford as the fds.
today, the claim is that the governing body is the fds.
Jehovah and Jesus evidently had "overlapping" opinions of just who the FDS should be so apparently they decided to allow succession among the GB/FDS you know kinda how big J allowed polygamy among the Israelites, knowing that "soon" all this would become brighter and brighter.

surely jesus would have noticed what they had been teaching about his second coming, or invisible presence as they prefer to call it.
matthew 24:3 37 .
today they teach that he returned to begin his second coming in 1914. but the proclaimers book explains that this was not what they were teaching before, during and for many years after jesus' inspection in 1918-1919. on pages 46 and 47 it explains that in 1876... .
The teaching of Christ's return naturally seperates (fractionalizes) itself into 4 basic concepts over time. While a JW cannot accept the WHOLE teaching (for fear of being DF'ed) they can accept FRACTIONS of this teachings (if their conscience allows.)

in johns gospel jesus refers to the "helper" "the spirit of truth" saying "when he arrives he will etc".
the wt justified their use of he in this instance, because in greek the word is masculine gender.. (aside from the ludricrousness of this argument - english does have neuter pronouns).
have they changed he to it inthese passages?.
Holy Spirit has to be male, otherwise the WTBTS would have to give real recognition to women!

from 1950 to 2013, the watchtower and bible tract society has been releasing its new world translation of the scriptures.. my study considers the christian greek scriptures (new testament).. http://www.jwstudies.com/why_does_wts_accept_christendoms_scriptures.pdf.
i have also provided the pictures that i created for the study.. http://www.jwstudies.com/pix_for_study_wts_accepts_scriptures.pdf.
please accept the fact that i have no idea whether colours clash or if they match.
Well done! Great research! You are really good at this!

i checked the program, i bet many can guess what many of the talks will be, but here are a few titles........ .
"symposium: reject strange teachings" - aka reject truth being exposed about the society and their teachings.
"you must hate your enemy" - aka you must hate the gb's enemy of family and friends who have awaken to their lies and left.
At least the WTBTS is good at recycling!

as we continue to use the revised nwt, we will no doubt find more and more changes worth noting.
several others have posted how some of freddie franz's idiosyncrasies have been removed (like 'anyone urinating against a wall' and the ever-present 'proceeded to go' instead of just 'went').
here's another: gone are the places in the proverbs where the hebrew literally says 'the innermost parts of the belly' for conveying the supposed delight of juicy morsels of gossip.
The WT teachings, unlike M & M's, "melt in your mind, not in your hand".

my wife is preparing to spend hundreds on a lap top to take into the field service.
i carefully mentioned that the wts has gone from condemning the web to now using it.. her reply" no they never condemned it just said to people to be careful in using it".
my memories of convention speakers must be different and" this is the way things are now; its all downloaded from the web".. with that as a given then why isnt the wts issuing computers to any one who wants one?
"Brothers, the internet as a whole is forbidden by Jehovah, however, if your conscience allows, you may now accept fractions of the internet."
Your loving brothers,
THE Governing Body
just letting off a bit more steam.
why can't sisters look after the library or the sound.
what makes the brothers so damned special???.
Stop complaning! We let you clean the KH don't we? What more could you ask for?

yes thats my situation.
some where along the path of life the wt guilt trip was dumped on our marriage and we havent had sex for years.. anyone else?
the hearts and flowers and gifts and doing the cleaning, the house work and paying the daily accounts never being drunk on drugs playing the horses or screwing others yep its all there but nothing coming back due to the wt guilt trip.. they made so much of 'oral sex' and 'pornea' incorrectly quoted at that and ventured thereby into areas they were patently very ill equipped to comment on.
TRUE STORY!------I got DF'ed because I admitted that I had oral sex with my wife. Although we both enjoyed oral sex, it "violated" God's laws, don't ya know. That was in November of 1977. In the December 1977 WT, question from readers section, "nu-lite" revealed that oral sex with your spouse was now a matter of conscience. I was reinstated in February 1978. Yes Jehovah does provide "food at the proper time" thru the "spirit directed" 'faithful slave' don't ya know! I was DF'ed for 3 months for something that the "spirit directed faithful slave" got WRONG. Sad that thousands have died because the "spirit directed faithful slave" got the blood thing WRONG!
