In the last 20 years How Many Changes Have Occurred in Watchtower Beliefs?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses say that they have the truth and the truth is constant.
they believe that what they teach is the truth that comes directly from jehovah god.
can you think of anything that has changed in the last 20 years to show a jehovah's witness that the truth is not necessarily the truth..

How Jesus Became Christian
by EdenOne injust wanted to share an interesting read.. i have purchased the ebook "how jesus became christian" by historian and philosopher barrie a. wilson.. it's a book by a scholar but it's not written in dense academic language, thus, is easily readable by the general public (unlike, for example, the incredibly dense "james, the brother of jesus", by robert eisenman).
in this book, wilson invites the reader to inquiry how the 'jesus movement' and his early followers, entirely part of the jewish framework, became metamorphosed into the 'christ movement' that rejected the torah, and was much more related to mystical religions of the greco-roman world.
how did this change came about?

Any new style Video Funeral yet?
by Lostandfound inthe appalling funeral outlines over the years quickly skip over the personal details of the deceased, on to the wt advertising and use of the opportunity to mesmerise a captive audience.
but is a video of caleb and sophia mourning their grandparents on the way, “we sure miss grandad but how thrilling his donation example was...” do sisters gyrate to the music and clap hands, is the new light style witness meeting by video on the way, dont bother going to bro xs funeral, it on jw.dead broadcasting, with a page up to show his will bequests to the wt, ranked by amount, 5 star funeral over £10,000 bequest in will, no bequest a one line mention.
so much changed, dead witnesses would be horrified by changes, for the poorer witness with no meney left to wt overlapping online funerals for lots of poor people at once, no individual ceremony.
