i was just thinking and a new major flaw in the new lite sprang into my mind.
one of the ways the governing body justified its existence is saying that there was a governing body over 1st century christians based out of jerusalem.
now i know they dont have any real proof of this, in fact evidence is the opposite of this, but lets say for arguments sake there was a gb in the 1st century.
Thanks George...I'm just eager to see what reaction it will be among the R&F. This is a severe change, and it will confuse more the situation there, hopefully leading more JW's to exit.
I will pass this info to my JW's relatives (yeah, despite the fact that I'm disfellowshiped they still talk to me) and in a nice way I will point out the issues are involved with this "new light"

Are there any printed copies by the WT regarding the new light? I left WT back in the 2000 and I'm kind of confused with the new developments. Actually, in the mind of the JW's the GB and FDS are the same, despite WT's claims that FDS is part of the annointed class, providing spiritual food in time due. Now are they are coming with a new deffinition, claiming that the GB is not FDS and during the first century there wasn't any FDS, but only GB?
Boy I missed a lot of episodes from the WT...I need a serious update....
g'day apostates,.
i was reading an article in the latest issue of atlantis rising regarding the great pyramid's missing capstone and the 1902 story of the recovery in the desert sands just 20k south of cairo, of the capstone of amenemhet iii's pyramid.. .
it's dimensions (1.85m at the base by 1.4m height) had me think of the similarly sized pyramid placed nearby charles russell's grave (under which there are rumoured to be buried many books .. similar to the way my teenage bed was crammed under with old watchtower and awake!
Russell was a kind of Pharao! I read Atlantis Rising it interesting issues
how many muslim women martyrs do we need before muslim leaders speak out?by cristina odone world last updated: october 18th, 2012. comment on this.
enough is enough: women pay tribute to malala.
a 20-year-old afghan girl has been beheaded, by her in-laws, for refusing to become a prostitute.
Unfortunately this is what is happening when people are turning back to the dark ages, or still hold beliefs from a time that humanity was uneducated. Even in the Western Countries, women from that religion suffer the same pain and even martyr. Unfortunately we have been unable to educate them. Woman is a lower form of life, she has no rights, we see cases that young girls, age 9 & 10 can get married with men over 30. And when they 30 and beautiful, then their husbands (who are old and ugly, because they are jealous) they damage their faces of their wifes so they don't look beautiful.
hi everyone.
i haven't visited the forum for quite a long time, and specially when it has changed before 2 years(my previous avatar was justhuman, since 2001), but i couldn't retrieve my account after the change of the forum, so i create a similar avatar.. so i didn't had time to look what's going on in the wt world, for at least 2 years( i was busy building my carreer to the titanic) and i just pop in to ask what are the new developments in wt world.
any new lights that the gb came across with, or god directed them to present to the flock at the apropriate time?.

i'm an ms (accounts servant) in a large congregation in canada.
over the last several years i've faught a hard-won battle to rid my mind of all religous and supernatural beleifs.
Because our life, the Universe, our moral values, everything that we see are govern by laws. I believe there is a Creator, an intelligence behind this.
one of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.
as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .
i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.
I From the parts of the world that I come from, WT couldn't completely break the family bonds, like it did in many Western Countries. My family still speaks to me, my kids, my parents, my brother & sister.
But even if I they didn't I would be able to carry on, since I would never give way my freedom

The founders of both cults are wird persons, started almost the same time of the pseydochristian boosting cult era in the mid 1800's. Both false prophets, deeply involved with Occult practice, and both founders, their past teaching are considered for both cults, apostate teachings...
is the watchtower society really god's organization?.
the governing body of the watchtower society, makes the claim that they are god's, 'spirit directed organization', god's 'prophet, or mouthpiece'.
one would suppose that an organization that claims to know all the truths of the bible, would know that the coming prophet like moses, who was appointed over jehovah's house in the days of the israelite nation, would also know, that the coming prophet like moses, would be the one appointed over god's house when he arrived on the scene, when the due time arrived for the new covenant to go into force.
Just to make the long story short for you: The answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
