The GB simply say the evil slave class doesn't exist due to the word "if"...its a hypothetical slave class....
Interesting arguement considering it says "If the master arrives"...

Watchtower Eliminated the "Evil Slave Class" according to E-Watchman? True or False?
by AuntConnie inlooking for information to make the july 15th, 2013 watchtower make sense, i came across the e-watchman website.
is he a jehovah's witnesses waiting for the reformation or a apostate like all of us on jwn?.
his post on the "faithful and evil slave" is very enlightening, according to his question he received from his readers, the watchtower said "there is no evil slave class" to eliminate fear the evil slave is working at bethel!.

What happened in 97-98 to reduce the increase?
by Splash inlooking at the yearly stats, it's apparent that something happened in 1997/98 which caused the increase %ge to drop off a cliff and remain low.. take a look:.

Watching "Waiting for Armageddon"
by Anony Mous init's a documentary on people that are waiting for the rapture, armageddon etc.
basically anything evangelical and fundamental christians believe in.
even though the documentary doesn't make any commentary, it seems that jw's aren't the only one scaring their children and members and making an entire industry around it.

A major change in the new song book I initially overlooked
by slimboyfat init occurred to me the other day that i am beginning to forget the tunes to all the old kingdom songs i once knew by heart.
so i have started recording myself singing a few of my favourites from the old song book and uploading them to youtube.
and it struck me as i was singing them how many of the old songs have a military theme running through them, with references to warfare, soldiers, weapons and so on.

Why do you think they changed their mind on organ transplants?
by Separation of Powers infrom 1967 to early 1980, the watchtower stated that organ transplants were tantamount to "cannibalism.
" then, suddenly, the position was changed to organ transplants being a "conscience matter.
" so, my question, why the change?
-
-
notsurewheretogo
Perhaps due to the fact there is sod all in the bible about organ transplants????? And the cannibalism/personality transplant is utter false...it took 13 years and perhaps a lot of lives for the HS to correct that teaching...that point confuses a lot of dubs...

The temple and heaven and earth
by Crazyguy ini read a comentary about how the jw's changed the greek word so they could claim that the great crowd are not standing before the throne in rev 7:9 but out side the inner temple and in the court yard so to speak on earth.
my question is does the bible say somewhere that the inner temple means heaven and out side the inner sanctuary is the earth?.

Indeed...the naos and heiron examples is one of the biggest lies the WT has made that is really apparent...and it too helped me to "wake up".

Faders shunned now?
by Sammy Jenkis inhi all so my family had their c.a.
last weekend and my mother dropped this one on me, she'll now be treating me as a df'd person per info she received from a talk at the assembly.
apparently a fader should be treated as "bad association" given the fact they up and left the holy "truth" to splash around in vomit.. .
-
-
notsurewheretogo
They are not saying to shun faders as they said in a recent WT that they want to reach out to such ones like Jebus did with the wandering sheep...
What they are saying to dubs is those who show by their life course and life style that they don't really believe that these are the last days and the Big A is knocking on your door then they will be viewed as bad association...

What major WTBTS change(s) do you predict for 2014?
by ABibleStudent inwhat major wtbts change(s) do you predict for 2014 to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the wtbts's 1914 prediction?.
after posting to what's in it for them?
(gb), i started to think what major change(s) could the wtbts make to thin the flock and cleanse the congregations of social jws who do not donate or go to meetings.. my premise is that the wtbts is a business, a dangerous cult, and that its printing operations are losing money.

They will not change the 144,000 doctrine. They will not abandon 1914.
They will not tithe (after saying for years you receive free so give free)
Nothing important will be announced in this years AGM...just because they did last year doesn't mean they will this year.
A new version of the bible might be on the cards but doesn't change anything...

If the big change at the AGM meeting is dropping the literal 144,000...
by slimboyfat inthe best conjecture seems to be that the gb are going to drop the literal 144,000 teaching, especially in view of the december watchtower that pointedly does not mention the 144,000 number.
if they are dropping the literal 144,000 number, but still claim that only a small number are anointed, and can partake, and that only a few are left on earth, then it is fair to ask what has really changed?
they are simply clearing up the embarrassing situation that there were obviously more than 144,000 "anointed" believers from 36 ad until now, and that the number of partakers has been increasing in recent years.

Still doesn't make sense...God loved the world so much they He gave his only son but he didn't love the world that much to forgo a dick measuring competition with an angel that means pain, anguish, suffering and death for everyone on the planet...
Tell the person in Syria who is getting raped and tortured that it is ok as sometime in the future God will sort it all out...they won't give a flying fcuk...
