See this post I put up a few weeks back:
Online version of "Reasoning from the Scriptures" has deleted preaching reference to Muslims
or do they regard them as they do ultra conservative jews and not waste their time with them, since as a people, they willfully abandoned jesus christ?

not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).
you can bet most jws wont even read it..
there is no apology...just the usual excuses..
DarioKehl - Is this article the one being considered tomorrow at the meeting?
No. It is the same magazine but is the Question from Readers. The GB and WTBTS would never allow a new doctrinal change to be considered the first-time at a meeting. It is always made known first (i.e. revealed), generally and primarily to English-speaking JW's living in the USA, such as through a corporate AGM of the WTBTS or through a public talk (test the market), that can always be discredited as the thoughts of an imperfect individual. By the time it makes it to the Watchtower magazine for 'study' it is no longer "new light" but clarification.
so, i've got the assembly tomorrow, or so the wife says.
i should have bought this in preparation..... .

From the article:
Some writers in the centuries after Christ’s death fell into a trap—they saw types everywhere.
Glad to see that years later they are still referencing Charles Taze Russell, Joseph F Rutherford and Frederick W Franz in The Watchtower magazine.
ok, so....does everyone who has ever been born, and lived on this planet called earth....get ressurected?.
doesnt that sound like pissin in the wind?.
destroy everyone......just to bring em back......to destroy them again....... seems like a neverending cycle..
"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.
the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.
the brothers were never able to speak to the man.
i've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.
lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.
the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.
Just checked out the Nepali website for Jehovah's Witnesses. No reporting about the earthquake there.

"does this mean that as long as there is no clearly stated law from god, we can just follow the ways and standards that we are brought up with and that are common in our area?...
[quoted prov.
Always be on the watch for the deceptive 'bait-and-switch' in WT publications. The BAIT is the subject under discussion and is usually introduced by a question.
BAIT: Does this mean ... the ways and standards that we are brought up with ... ?
The SWITCH is that the answer given is not in relation to the question and does not actually answer the question.
SWITCH: trends and standards of the world
Such words plays are often accompanied by an appeal to authority (Bible) and part of a universal battle between good and evil (Jehovah v Satan).
The irony of this WT article is that two of the "trends and standards" that the world is currently adopting is freedom of religion and minimum standards for child protection in organizations.

"Does this mean that as long as there is no clearly stated law from God, we can just follow the ways and standards that we are brought up with and that are common in our area?...[quoted Prov. 16:20]...The Bible shows that trends and standards of the world are manipulated and controlled by none other than Satan, 'the god of this system of things'".
