It was mentioned in the talk 'Sing to Jehovah" , referring to changes in some of the terminology for new melodies.
" 25 years have passed since we received our current songbook. During that time, the light has become brighter on a number of topics. As a result, some of the expressions used in our songs are new …… For example, we no longer speak of the new order, but of the new world. Love, joy and peace are not fruits of the Spirit; they are aspects of the fruitage of the Spirit. And Jehovahs name will be sanctified, not vindicated"
What's with that whole "fruitage" of the Spirit thing, instead of fruit? Is that a real word? Who talks like that, and why is it an important difference?
I love the title of new melody , "The Beauty of Gray-Headedness" Perhaps i should have my family and friends memorize the lyrics, as i am 49, and don't plan to dye! LOL.
They recycle everything. They called it the "New World" back when I was a little girl.
Yeah, Scarred for life. That's what I remember, how hard it was to change from new world to new system and now they change it back. Always changing.
I remeber in the 80's being told not to use new world because it sounded like when Hilter wanted a new world order.
So new world order is okay now !?!?!

Scarred for life, you took the words right out of my mouth.

thanks everyone for the info, I knew I hear something about it.. in our talk, it was REALLY emphasized, repeated twice for emphasis, I guess...
Thanks again
It's from the latest edition of the Newspeak dictionary, no doubt. And who are we at war with again? Is it Eastasia or Eurasia?
"New world."
"New order."
Both are incorrect. The correct term is "New Dark Ages". Of course they will never use that one, because it's the truth.
The WTS has used various terms over the years.
new world society
new system of things
new system
new order
new world
but never "new world order" which is only referred to as a political term used in the world.
