Has the Creator’s promise changed again?

    Up until 1995 the AWAKE! Said, “This magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away.”

    But beginning in November of that year it removed “before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away” and replaced it with that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things.”

    But today while looking at some stuff on the Society’s website I noticed that it now has removed “the Creator’s promise that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things” and replaced it with simply “the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world.”

    Is that what the AWAKE! magazine now says on its masthead page 4?

    If so, I wonder if there is even 1 out of 7,000,000 Witnesses who have noticed that “the Creator’s promise” has changed once again.

    As one pioneer said out in Service in response to a woman who said she didn't have time to read the mags 'Me neither'

    That Creator, always shifting things around. They ought to get something in writing from him.

    Oh wait....

    The Awake still prints the "about to replace" blurb on page 4.

    Just pulled the latest Awake off the website, evidently the creator hasn't changed his mind in the Awake just yet.

    Maybe when the new and improved 16-pagers come out next year they will go with the new wording.

    In reality, they should. How stupid does "replace the present wicked, lawless system of things" sound to outsiders?

    Good catch. It was that change in Awake's masthead that convinced me they were dishonest.

    You just never know which meteor is going to be the one.

    It will be interesting to see if that statement in the AWAKE will eventually match up with their website.
