The Watchtower May 2015 features an image and timeline of the Attack of Gog of Magog to support the new doctrinal changes introduced by GB 2.0.
Now I wonder where they got that idea from?
in the life story of am3 i just had to laugh about the following.
"i must confess, however, that when i first learned the truth, i was not very tactful...".
ha ha ha... as if he is tactful today..
Didn't read the full article but did manage to pick up the subliminal highlights.
As told by Anthony Morris III
...As a young person, I had some exposure...
...I asked him, “What is that?”...
...I felt a need...
...A senior nurse approached me...and yelled, “You’re not going to be one of them, are you?”...
...Now let me tell you about a very personal matter—my first love...
...I recall a special day in the spring of 1971. I had recently been evicted from the condom...
...I had just spent most of my check on dress clothes...
...I could hear and vividly see young men begging me, “Am I going to make it? Am I going to make it?”...
...At that point, my heart overflowed with love for...the deepest part...
...people do terrible things. I was no exception...
...I must confess, however, that...I was not very tactful...my first love...burned so strongly within me...I dearly love my brothers...and forcefully shared...with them. I later had to apologize for my insensitive manner...
...I have many wonderful memories of outstanding elders with whom I served...
...In my office I am surrounded by many pictures that mean so much to me! They remind me of what a great life I have enjoyed. I have already received many wonderful rewards for doing my best to remember my first love.
here we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.
for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.
this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.
Here we go again... Let's study... News Report... Comment...
For a number of years, our publications have explained that Gog of Magog is the name given to Satan the Devil after his ouster from heaven. This explanation was based on the fact that the book of Revelation identifies Satan the Devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on God’s people. (Rev. 12:1-17) So it was thought that Gog must be another prophetic name for Satan.
However, that explanation raised some important questions. Why so? Consider this: When referring to the time that Gog is defeated, Jehovah says regarding Gog: “I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and the wild beasts of the field.” (Ezek. 39:4) Then Jehovah adds: “On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel . . . That is where they will bury Gog and all his hordes.” (Ezek. 39:11) But how could a spirit creature be eaten by “birds of prey and the wild beasts of the field”? How could Satan be given “a burial place” on earth? The Bible clearly shows that Satan will be abyssed for 1,000 years, not eaten or buried.—Rev. 20:1, 2.
We are told that at the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be released from the abyss, and “he will go out to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war.” (Rev. 20:8) But how can Satan mislead Gog if he himself is Gog? Therefore, “Gog” does not refer to Satan in either Ezekiel’s prophecy or the book of Revelation.
Who, then, is Gog of Magog? To answer that question, we need to search the Scriptures to find out who attacks God’s people. The Bible speaks not only of the attack by ‘Gog of Magog’ but also of the attack by “the king of the north” and of the attack by “the kings of the earth.” (Ezek. 38:2, 10-13; Dan. 11:40, 44, 45; Rev. 17:14; 19:19) Do these represent separate attacks? Not likely. The Bible is no doubt referring to the same attack under different names. Why can we draw that conclusion? Because the Scriptures tell us that all the nations of the earth will be involved in this final attack that prompts the war of Armageddon.—Rev. 16:14, 16.
When we compare all these Scriptural references about the final attack on God’s people, it becomes evident that the name Gog of Magog refers, not to Satan, but to a coalition of nations. Will this coalition be led by the figurative “king of the north”? We cannot say with any certainty. But this thought does seem to be in harmony with what Jehovah says about Gog: “You will come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a vast army.”—Ezek. 38:6, 15.
Similarly, the prophet Daniel, who was a contemporary of Ezekiel, says of the king of the north: “Reports out of the east and out of the north will disturb him, and he will go out in a great rage to annihilate and to devote many to destruction. And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.” (Dan. 11:44, 45) This clearly parallels what the book of Ezekiel says about Gog’s activities.—Ezek. 38:8-12, 16.
What occurs next as a result of this final attack? Daniel tells us: “During that time Michael [Jesus Christ] will stand up [at Armageddon], the great prince who is standing [since 1914] in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress [the great tribulation] such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book.” (Dan. 12:1) This action on the part of God’s representative Jesus is also described at Revelation 19:11-21.
But who is referred to as “Gog and Magog” at Revelation 20:8? During the final test at the end of the 1,000 years, those who rebel against Jehovah will manifest the same murderous attitude as ‘Gog of Magog,’ those nations that attack God’s people at the end of the great tribulation. And the outcome for both groups will be exactly the same—everlasting death! (Rev. 19:20, 21; 20:9) It seems fitting, then, that all those rebels at the end of the Millennium be called “Gog and Magog.”
As keen students of God’s Word, we wait with eager anticipation to see who in the near future will assume the role of “the king of the north.” But no matter who may take the lead in this coalition of nations, we are certain of two things: (1) Gog of Magog and his armies will be defeated and destroyed; and (2) our reigning King, Jesus Christ, will save God’s people and usher them into a new world of peace and true security.—Rev. 7:14-17.

I stole 50 cents for a pack of cigs and when my dad found out he said, YOU STOLE from JEHOVAH.
gda, you didn't steal from Jehovah. It was a burnt offering.

Sutcliffe:
God commanded me to kill all those woman. I listened and obeyed. God commanded me to become a Jehovah's Witness. I listened and obeyed. God commanded me to get baptised and become an ordained minister of Jehovah's Witnesses. I listened and obeyed. God commanded me to plan a Jehovah's Witness funeral. I listened, obeyed and was blessed. Evidently God speaks to me.

Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe 'planning his own Jehovah's Witness funeral' at Broadmoor
10 February 2015
While Charles Manson is busy avoiding being displayed in a glass coffin by his now ex-fiancée, Peter Sutcliffe is managing his own mortality within the confines of Broadmoor hospital.
The Yorkshire ripper apparently met with funeral directors to plan his own send-off.
Sutcliffe, 68, contacted Holmes and Family funeral directors, whose office is three miles away from the high security hospital in Berkshire.
He apparently wishes for the ceremony to be performed in line with his Jehovah’s Witness beliefs.
Sutcliffe was handed 20 life sentences for brutally murdering 13 women in the North of England between 1975 and 1980, and attempting to murder seven others.
Police believed his killing spree started after he was conned out of money by a prostitute and her pimp.
However, Sutcliffe later claimed the voice of God had commanded him to undertake the killings.

i was just watching cedars prank call to tomo3.
by the way lloyd very well done and totally funny.
but on a more serious note (and i think what must be of concern to the gb) are the amount of leaks that must be occurring at a senior level or at least by a person who has access to sensitive information.
haven't got an electronic copy, or scans.
just a heads up..
Anthony Morris III - "How I discover new light and the reason why tight pants are not for true Christian men."
it interesting to find out that the book of the dead also called the pyramid text which dates back to 1500 bce is most likely where christianity gets its origins.
the egyptians believed that when one died his spirit or one aspect of it would go to heaven then return to the resurrected body.
the body was mummified to prepare it for the resurrection and all organs taken out of it except the heart.
Hmmm. I wonder who's buried under this pyramid!
Here's a clue: The resident, a strong believer in pyramidology, believed that when he died his spirit would go to heaven?
