she found the united book, open as if i was saving a spot from where i had last finished reading. she found it and said, "bethel, don't read this we have an updated version!" i said, "why do they need to update it?", to which i received no answer.
my mother and i had already had this discussion. last year, when they were studying the "worship the only true God book" at the bookstudy, i realised it was just a "newer light" version of the United book. the only real difference is that the new book takes out two chapters... One on the covenant Jesus made with the "anointed" (wherein the watchtower makes some rather impossible mathematical statements like, "from 33 c.e. to about 1935, the only hope was a heavenly one." which means, of the millions of christians, only about 80,000 received any reward).
the other chapter taken out was the one on blood. that's interesting... the blood doctrine chapter was completely removed... my mom could not think of why... but im sure it was just "simplifying."
