New Light on the United Nations (U.N.) (Scarlet Beast)
by UnDisfellowshipped inthere appears to be "new light" in the latest watchtower magazine (june 1st 2003 issue).
several watchtower publications for the last 50+ years have said that the united nations (u.n.) organization ("the scarlet-colored wild beast" of revelation) would definitely be the organization that will carry out jehovah's judgment on "babylon the great" (false religion), and then, under satan's [gog of magog's] direction, the united nations organization would become "greedy", and try to attack the remaining remnant of the "anointed" jehovah's witnesses and their companions, the "great crowd" of "other sheep", and then jehovah and jesus would destroy the united nations organization, along with everyone else who was not a jehovah's witness.
here is a quote that shows this: .

Deprogramming your "Last Days" phobia...
by logansrun inraised in a religion that preached a massive, theocratic holocaust for the majority of mankind can leave you with more than a few mental and emotional scars.
i remember being terrified on new years eve in 1986 (i was 9 yrs old) because of all the talk that that year was the "international year of peace.
" i was conditioned to look at world events as being a sign that the end is near, sound familiar?

A Growing Irritant
by Inkie inmore and more lately when i have occasion to read any of the society's publications or any postings here at this site which quote the society's publications i find more and more lately that i become really irritated, annoyed, chafing, at the redundant phrase "anointed christians.
" it just irritates the hell out of me.
i don't necessarily understand the "why" of this annoyance only that i recognize that i have it.

NWT,and OTHER Translations./ New Offer.
by Blueblades inthe offer for feb.is the new " draw close to god book ",released at the 2002 district convention.the jan.km.
says,"this publication is designed to help people use their own bible to draw close to god.their own bible, not the nwt.. yet the society claims for itself and its translation of the nwt.a peculiar freedom from what they define as "the misleading influence of religious traditions,which have their roots in paganism,they go on to insist that this "influence" has colored the inspired word of god".. so it is necessary for them to set aright the numerous examples of "human traditionalism"that is evidenced in ( all translations,) including your own bible ,from john wycliffe's to the present.your own bible has been interwoven to color the thought in support of a preferred religious view,an inconsistency and unreasonableness have been insinuated into the teachings of the inspired writings.. the endeavor of the new world bible translation committee has been to avoid this snare of religious traditionalism.. now my point of all of this is: how can they indict the great scholars of all translations, and elevate their own nwt.then tell the rank and file to offer the new book in feb.by lyingly telling the public,the householder,that this publication is designed to help you draw close to god by using your own bible ,which is inconsistent and unreasonable among other snares of religious traditionalisms.and not use the nwt which they claim avoids all of this .. so,when they come to your door this feb.to offer you the new book to read with your own bible,you can say "why should i use my own bible,its pagan,i want the nwt.
