this question is for atheists and believers.
what teachings do you think the watchtower got right and why?
do you still think they are right about the trinity?
I'm wondering what you think they got right, at least according to what the Bible says
This would require that the Bible makes clear statements, so that one could compare those to JW views.
But with the Bible you can prove that Trinity is right and you can prove that Trinity is wrong.
You can prove that war is right and that war is wrong.
You can prove that Christmas is right and that Christmas is wrong.
Accordingly, depending on which verses you consider, JW's are right or wrong.
no more random anointing at all.
no more "i just have a feeling" vagueness.
the watchtower amps up the language implying that many (most?
Interesting thought! So, God/Jesus would anoint the anointed through the FDS (= GB).
now that the "faithful & discreet slave class" has become essentially the governing body since 1919, almost every publication is obsolete and useless!
(i know, they are useless)..... the fds doctrine is a core teaching unique to jehovah's witnesses and now i believe they will have to change all of their understandings that are recorded in the revelation climax book, ezekiel books---every prophetic book written by the society!.
almost every publication is obsolete and useless
They don't need to print new versions, they can just provide the PDFs.
perhaps this has been covered .. i didn't see it.. december km (thanks atlantis http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/239632/1/2012-2013-literature-request-form-2012-december-kingdom-ministry-2012-october-3-boe ).
page 5. send an article or a publication to someone.
you know: attach a downloaded pdf or.
Pfffffffffsssssssss ... can I also count the magazines that are downloaded from my Watchtower Archive?
i went to the reddit site supposedly where the rumor started.
anybody know that guy?
unless i see notes, and how they explained it, if it was an hour long, or hear it, it's a troll for the moment.
@Leolaia: To me that's no contradiction. Jehovah always used a small group. In the first century it was the apostles and elder men, later it was russell and the bible students and today it's the FDS.

they have every year and for some reason 1891 is missing.
this is also the year w/ the letter to the rothschilds.
I only have a copyrighted scan ("Resarch Applications International"). If someone has a free scan, please send it to me also so that I can add it to http://wtarchive.svhelden.info.
if the fds is only the governing body and the governing body of today is patterned on the apostles in jerusalem in the 1st century then does that mean that paul was not of the fds?.

“Persons who deliberately spread (stubbornly hold to and speak about) teachings contrary to Bible truth as taught by Jehovah’s Witnesses are apostates.” – Pay Attention to Yourselfes and All the Flock, page 94.
Moses, Jesus, Paul and other were apostates. See http://www.svhelden.info/witchtower/2012/08/disfellowshipping-a-timeless-arrangement/
