  @ mary stewart:

  2 ways to get stoned:

  "Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God's law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. WT 1952 Nov 15 pg 703

  1 - see above - wait for the WTS to figure out how to stone you to death and remain inside the law of the land. Once they figure this out they'll be stoning allcomers. Perhaps they could reason that Christ the Greater Moses was a stoner himself.....

  2 - you should know at your age the other way to get stoned :-) <runs off giggling>

  From an outsiders view it looks nearly blasphemous in my opinion. They are certainly referring to their writings because they have added the words "has become". What has 'become' since they have accepted what was already cannonized? To use the word 'become' indicates something happened after, new writings, new thought, an exapansion of what Christ already has said.

  "that have become part of the bible"

  The use of the passive voice in Cultspeak is what is known as a "

  "Distancing technique" this is used to ensure that they are not

  associated in the readers head with what is being put forward.

  For example in recent changes to doctrine, the WT said "the pages of this magazine

  have taught." (as if the GB were not responsible for the now obvious errors)

  "It was thought that", "some have said that" etc.

  If this item had explicitly said "the full range of Christian teachings that

  the WT has inserted into the Bible, " " or teachings we claim to be in the Bible"

  Their tactics would be seen immediately for what they are.
