Quick read on "Rapture". No changes there. But I did find this question:
Will faithful Christians perhaps be taken to heaven secretly, simply disappearing from the earth without dying?
After citing two scriptures they questioned/reasoned:
So death comes before one receives that spiritual body, does it not?
The argument appears to be that the anointed must die before going to heaven, which is what was taught when the Reasoning book was first published.
That teaching has just been changed in the July 15, 2015 issue of the Watchtower Will There Be a 'Rapture' of the Anointed During the Great Tribulation?
15 Does this mean that there will be a “rapture” of the anointed ones? Many in Christendom believe, according to this teaching, that Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth. Then, they expect that Jesus will visibly return to rule the earth. However, the Bible clearly shows that “the sign of the Son of man” will appear in heaven and that Jesus will come “on the clouds of heaven.” (Matt. 24:30) Both of these expressions imply invisibility. Additionally, “flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s Kingdom.” So those who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.” * (Read 1 Corinthians 15:50-53.) Therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.
