"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

How the house of cards comes crashing down, in the WTS' own words.
by poopsiecakes in"rejecting or trivializing the genesis account about adam and eve creates a domino effect that undermines nearly every major teaching in the bible!
such a way of thinking leads to a host of unanswered questions and a faith with nothing to stand on.".
footnote: "these include teachings about gods sovereignty, human integrity, good and evil, free will, the condition of the dead, marriage, the promised messiah, a paradise earth, gods kingdom, and many others.".

When I read threads like this I wonder how many of those still in know it is B.S. and only stay in for the sake of their older relatives.
Or on the contrary, what concerns me is people like my wife who seem to be incapable of critical thinking to see it for what it really is......sigh.... -

Reasoning from the scriptures, is there a plan to release a new version?
by insearchoftruth ini know that the section on last days is no where close to correct anymore with the 'overlapping generation' change, i am sure there are other discrepancies as well with the book.
shouldn't there be a new version of this coming out (or even better for those of us who are trying to find changes a 'change list' like what was done with the 'grand climax' book)?.

the one concern about going pretty much all electronic is I still think a lot of the money is 'made' because in essence the WTS is a multilevel marketing publishing company. If there is no need to pick up paper copies of WTs and Awakes and provide a 'suggested donation' at the KH, and then hopefully collect some additional money from the people while in FS, a source of income will dry up, unless they have a guest and member sites on the internet and maybe make some $$ there.
The WTS seems to be making most of its money at least in the US on real estate these days, I guess the paper goods will have to continue for the global south where internet access is still not a given.

I think that in reality more and more books will be electronic in nature (only) so changes can be made on the fly, could even watermark the printed version with a note that the printed copy is for information only, go to the electronic version for the latest.

"This generation will by no means pass away until all things occur." (The "generation" that was alive at the beginning of fulfillment of the sign in 1914 is now well along in years. The time remaining must be very short. World conditions give every indication this is the case)." Page 239, Reasoning from the Scriptures (Last Days)

How did this happen? Do you know where this idea started and why?
I am pretty sure that this is discussed in the 'grand climax' book. -

the generation thing, as it is in the book, with no reference to any updates, after all , you are not supposed to go off script.
I will need to read the generation article in reasoning, the last days is really damning to them since it speaks about how 'close to the end' we are..........yep, the unchanging word of God, ever changed by the WTS. -

Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...
by Alfred inin 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.

bought themselves another good 50 or 60 years
It is amazing how a significant change such as this can be just accepted by millions of people as a good thing. My wife said that the JWs are willing to change while false religion does not.......I guess from her myopic view only the JWs change for the better.....
