New Release for 2013 District Assemblies
by RubaDub inan insider at bethel has confirmed that there will be a new book released this summer at the district assemblies.
the society is using some new technology called "current light.
" it allows them to print the book with certain parts in permanant ink (as has been historically used) while other parts of the book have erasable ink.. as i understand it, sentences that begin with words such as "evidently, apparently, obviously, it appears that, likely, clearly, doubtless" and numerous other phrases will be in a slightly different font so that the "current light" sentences can be easily changed when needed.. for example:.

by Dold Agenda inbiblestudies in the report, is the numbers they show us correct?.
i've been thinking of this, and as i am from sweden i use my own country as an example.. to notice is that sweden is high penetrated of internet.
the young ones here is often really good in english.. and i suppose that hardly one third of the jw kids finaly get baptised.. at most positive.. .

Flip-flopping all over the place
by confusedteenager inone minute i'm believing completely in god and in jesus christ, and in the next instance i'm questioning all religious systems in general.
i think i'm just lacking faith, but then in the back of my head i'm wondering if i've just been so indoctrinated and deluded...that i can't imagine living without considering that there is a god to be worshiped, or that i need to worship god in order to be happy.
i don't know how full-blown atheists or full blown christians do it either way.

Jehovah's Secret past life............. by the way no one told me he was married.
by 5go inactually i had known about the wife part i didn't know that the tetragramaton had been found on a wall in egypt next to heirglyphs hat talked about a town named jehavah (really they called it yahu but it was the tetragramaton anyways) i thought it intering yahu was the god of war.
his wife asherah, (which yahu's cult tried to destroyed all mention of her) was the goddess of love and procreation.
explains a lot, a whole lot when you think about it!

Quick Question regarding faithful slave and apostle
by sosoconfused insince we have a new understanding of the faithful and discreet slave not appearing until 1919, and in turn no one giving the proper food at the proper time... does this wipe out the validity of the gospel accounts and all the rest of the greek scriptures?.
.
i know i am missing out on something here, but is this the line of reasoning that one can gather from this latest announcement?.

Watchtower's Armageddon vs Sandy Hook
by LostGeneration inslidin fast made a great post yesterday about the elephant in the room, the fact that the wt teaches millions of innocent six and seven year olds are doomed to die if their version of armageddon comes about.. that coupled with a brief, stupid conversation with my jw father this morning where he asserted "we really need jehovah's kingdom" in response to the shooting led me to investigate how many six and seven year olds would be killed at armageddon.. according to census.gov there are about 243 million six and seven year olds alive in the world.
all of them doomed to die, according to wt theology.
(well, lets give them 1 million jw kids, even though that probably covers all jw kids, not just 6-7 year olds).
