So when the new light shines in from the Pleiades, will it mean that those who partake and were baptized after 1935 will be disfellowshipped, or given 6 months to renounce their "annointed state" just like the smokers got 6 months to quit in the 70's?

Laying the groundwork for dumping the "1935 anointed cutoff" date?
by sir82 inthe next domino to fall in the society's muddled chronology-based teachings is very likely to be the concept that the "general call" for anointed members of the 144,000 ended in 1935, when the "great crowd" was identified.
after 2+ decades of seeing the number of "memorial partakers" hover in the mid-8000's, when actuarially speaking the number can't really be more than a few hundred at most, the society needs to do something (as in, change the teaching, just as the passing of time necessitated a change to the "1914 generation" teaching).. at our circuit assembly this past weekend, i heard something which makes me think the society may already be laying the groundwork for this "new light".
the public talk included "4 lines of evidence" that we are living in "the last days".

Did CNN's Nancy Grace Cross The Line???
by SWALKER inshe is now a journalist, not a prosecutor in a courtroom!.
fla. mother?s suicide snarls missing child caseactions of cnn show host during interview condemned by family memberupdated: 6:36 p.m. et sept 13, 2006leesburg, fla. - two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, melinda duckett found herself reeling in an interview with cnn?s famously prosecutorial nancy grace.
before it was over, grace was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know: ?where were you?

I'd pay to watch Nancy Grace locked in a steel cage with Hilary Clinton - 1 piece of bread, 1 bottle of water, and 1 comes out alive. Then we'd get to see the modern woman at her best.

Severance Pay ($10,000 for each year)for Those Laid Off From Bethel?
by frankiespeakin ini think to be fair the gb should use the money they have collected from selling off thier property in brooklyn and offer a serverance package for those asked to leave after many years of service, $10,000 for every year of service would be good.
i've cut and pasted this from a legal site:.

I've been in a few companies over the years at layoff time and have seen quite a few people go ballistic. 2 sites had to employ additional security due to threats and exit interviews that went bad. Wonder if this will occur in N.Y....
As far as severance pay, these poor buggers won't even get a free magazine subscription or a bus ticket - fend for yourself - what wonderful Christians!

The GB, jehovah and correcting grevious errors
by greendawn inwhat do you think about the doctrine of the gb which maintains that it is no one's business to meddle in the way they run god's org (in fact their org) because god himself will put things right in his due time?.
isn't that a disgusting excuse to let them carry on abusing the r&f with false knowledge?
just think of it there are many errors many r&f are pointing them out and god is sitting there mysteriously ignoring the errors and as if by a whim he will at some time later decide to direct the gb to correct these errors.
