I just read it, and maybe it's because I'm not a JW, but my reaction was essentially, "What the actual f&*$?"
How can any of that make any sense or be logical to anyone? I mean, I know logic is severely lacking in their teachings, but this is kind of a new low. Do JWs actually read this stuff? Or just memorize so they can seem like they care?
Interestingly, I didn't see any reference to 'bright light getting lighter and lighter' (Proverb 4:18) or the usual expression 'update' or 'revised' pertaining to all these changes in this magazine. Maybe WT is suffering from overuse syndrome from past changes!
However, I did notoice about 26 or more other words and expressions to explain away all the flip flopping in this magazine:
1. 'Clarifications' (4 times)
2. 'Clearer understanding' (7 times)
3. 'Clarified' (2 times)
4. 'Previously we thought' (3 times)
5. 'In the past we have stated' (1 time)
6. 'We understood' (1 time)
7. 'Adjustment' (1 time)
8. 'Further consideration' (1 time)
9. 'This adjusted view' (1 time)
10. 'Adjusts' (1 time)
11. 'Adjustment in understandering' (2 times)
12. 'We thought' (1 time)
13. 'Our understanding needed to be clarified' (1 time)
I think this Watchtower magazine takes the cake in how many times in the history of The Society references to past mistakes in understanding God's Word have been made in just one of its journals! Amen to that!!!
P.S.: I may have missed some, feel free to add to the list.
.....And not one apology from WT to its reading public for having misled and misinformed everyone over the years on these 'vital' truths!

Looks like they're taking a page out of Fred Franz's old playbook; if you can't blind them with science, baffle them with bullshit.
If I could sing that song at the K Hall, I think I could manage one more visit J
Truthseeker: “considered” “reviewed” examined’…. Exactly!
I thought they are suppose to be led by Holy Spirit?
