Don't forget the one about grounds for scriptural divorce were not homosexual acts, as the spouse needed to become one flesh with another.. Later, or course, it changed..
Oh, and don't forget the blood transusions.. Until 1930's or so it was allowed, then completely banned, and last year it's a conscience matter if you want certain fractions of blood.
How about if the people of Sodom were to be ressurected or not? Flipped many times..
How about War, until 1939 JW's were allowed to goto war
How about Christmas and other holidays, until the 1920's - 1930's, many of them were allowed
How about the 'other sheep'.. Until 1934/5 there was only 1 class, until Rutherford 'found' the new class via 'new light'..
Don't forget the big one of recent times, that of the redefinition of the term "generation" - Specifically the "Generation of 1914 will by no means pass away...."
How about the one about "It will be preached in all the lands of the world and then the end will come".. I believe that has had 'new light' that it doesn't mean literally all the places on earth any more..
How about the one where Abraham, Isaac and the rest will come back (Live in Beth Sarim).. They gave up on that belief also..
How about the one where they rearranged everything into "theocratic order" - The Elder arangement of today..
How about the "Changing from 1 leader to the body - The governing body arrangement"
Come to think about it, this thread would probably be shorter if you were compiling a list of things that haven't changed.. Seriously, does anyone have something that has NOT been changed in their history? I cannot think of one thing!!!!! NOT ONE!!!!

Before 1926, they did not count time or set quotas. At that time, they had Bible studies, not studies out of books. Before the early 1930s everyone was going to heaven. Early books had pictures of a cross in them. The king of the north and south changed several times. Beards were permitted before 1925. Whether a woman would be disfellowshipped for not screaming during rape has changed about 8 times. Who are the higher powers, God or the governments has changed four or five times. The interpretation of the Alpha and Omega in Revelation has changed three or four times. The one thing that has remained the same for 122 years now, Argmageddon will be here very, very soon.

Don't forget the change in the baptismal questions...I know someone has the exact wording pre-and post-change. Used to be you got baptized as symbol of dedication to God& Christ, now you dedicate to the holy organization.
