New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release
by cedars inhttp://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.
if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

Throughout the last days, the anointed brothers who make up the faithful slave have served together at headquarters. In recent decades, that slave has been closely associated with the Governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Note, however, that the word “slave” in Jesus’ illustration is singular, indicating that this is a composite slave. The decisions of the Governing Body are thus made collectively.” (w13 7/15 p.22, par.10)
“‘The faithful and discreet slave’: A small group of brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food during Christ’s presence. Today, these anointed brothers make up the Governing Body.” (w13 7/15 p.22 box)
Here is an analogy to ponder:
Since 1935 the great crowd has been closely associated with the anointed.
Today the great crowd make up the anointed.

Same here, Terry. I also tried posting on the webpage and my comment was rejected and identified as "spammer".
Gee whiz.
Instead, I put up the comment above.

Why can it be said with certainty that Christ’s original apostles were not at least part of the faithful and discreet slave?
Because, just like “offspring of vipers”, the second generation of the anointed “faithful and discreet slave” Governing Body with their overriding veto powers belittle what their “spiritual fathers“ once taught them.
During the annual meeting held on October 1, 1971, one of the speakers pointed out that the governing body of “the faithful and discreet slave” preceded the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania by hundreds of years. (Matthew 24:45-47) A governing body was formed at Pentecost of 33 C.E., more than 18 centuries before the Pennsylvania corporation came into existence. At first, the governing body consisted of, not 7 men, but 12 apostles. Evidently, its number was enlarged later, for “the apostles and older men in Jerusalem” were taking the lead. — Acts 15:2.
(2001 The Watchtower, January 15, page 29).
By God, Holy Spirit is not of ambiguous nature and with certainty would take less than a century to reach the faithful.

Please direct me to the arabic implementation of JW.ORG
by bats in the belfry in.
i was unable to locate the arabic language on their website, thinking about the potential to reach millions.. http://www.jw.org/en >>> site language box - i can't find it.. .
shouldn't it be one of the main concerns to flood these countries with their propaganda via internet since there are so few missionaries in them?.

I appreciate that sending proselytizing agents to arab speaking countries is pretty dangerous.
Yet as of now they have a rack of servers that could reach into those countries without having anyone beheaded.
Their prime concern should be to translate the whole jw.org website into all those languages where they are prohibited to preach. And I don't just think of the approx. 56 titles they offer on the website. If they do an all encompassing witnessing in that language, then that way they could gloat to have preached the globe over - truly.

To believers: Is Blasphemy really the Unforgivable sin?
by cantleave inmark 3:29 seems to indicate that this is so.. so please theists explain what is meant by this scripture?
is god really that petty?
do you believe that blasphemy is a greater sin than murder or paedophilia (which isn't even mentioned as a sin) or genocide?.

Is Blasphemy really the Unforgivable sin?
Not even the boys in Brooklyn are sure.
Some people who were once faithful Christians have purposely drawn away from God, perhaps because of bitterness, pride, or greed, and are now apostate fighters against God’s spirit. They willfully oppose what the spirit is clearly accomplishing. Have these individuals committed the unforgivable sin? Jehovah is the final Judge.—Romans 14:12.

Suspected Jehovah's Witnesses attacked by pitbull in the preaching work
by cedars inhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtrdafq0xac.
i guess this sort of thing is bound to happen, even though the society implies that angels are out there protecting jehovah's witnesses from harm.. interestingly, it wasn't an angel who came to the rescue, but a "worldly" bystander with his gun.. .
