Its still there with the old last days and 1914 generation statements.
It hasn't been sanitised yet.
The insight online has revised the sodomite resurrection question
to the latest idea: will not be resurrected.

under the publications tab and type in last days.

@ leaving.
No I don't believe you are off topic as, due to reason and scriptural references,
you have no choice but to ask as you have.
You have succinctly expressed my and no doubt other thinking
searchers' thoughts. The light seems to be getting fuzzier.
Is it the new energy saving globes or what ?????

10 The bread that the apostles could see and would soon partake of meant Jesus’ body. Which body? At one time, God’s servants felt that because Jesus broke the bread but none of his own bones were broken, the bread meant “the body of the Christ,” the congrega- tion of anointed ones. (Eph. 4:12; Rom. 12:4, 5; 1 Cor. 10:16, 17; 12:27) In time, however, it was appreciated that both reason and Scripture indicate that the bread represents Jesus’ human body, which had been prepared for him. Jesus “suffered in the flesh,” even being im- paled. Thus, at the Lord’s Evening Meal, the bread represents that physical body in which Jesus “bore our sins.”—1 Pet. 2: 21-24; 4:1; John 19:33-36; Heb. 10:5-7.

what sorrow awaits you!
for you say that it means nothing to swear by gods temple, but that it is binding to swear by the gold in the temple.
20when you swear by the altar, you are swearing by it and by everything on it.
Yep use and re-use of photoshopped pics and illustrations happens.
The study article illustration on page 17 of dec 15 2013 mag is a re-do
of an illustration in the "learn from the great teacher book" page 194.
Can't quite get on top of pasting stuff just yet.
I guess with photos it evokes thoughts of misrepresentation.
if you and a fellow jehovah's witness went to a house where the homeowner brought up a watchtower doctrine which you secretly disagree with, would you defend it or tell them what it is you really believe?.
either way you are at a loss.. defending something you disagree with is living a lie and telling a lie.
not defending it and telling the home owner what you really believe makes you an apostate by watchtower society standards.

Well Honesty. As an active witness it's not that hard really if you apply the honesty principle.
"Yes you are right, our management team has backtracked on quite a few doctrines".
Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with the latest revisions, but I'm here to encourage you
to look into your own bible to sift through the various doctrines out there and find one that
you are comfortable with or even if you're comfortable with the bible.
For example do you believe that humans may be ressurrected to
live on earth again?????? Do you think we will ever see global peace????
And away you go, chat for hours and share views and listen to each other ,,,,,,just converse
with fellow humans,,,,,,, if that makes me an apostate then let the spirit in the sky decide.

p.s. I put an elder fs partner on notice that if anyone should ask to explain the 'generation overlap'
concept I would immediately hand over to him as I would be unable to do so.
Resulted in an attempted 'shepherding call' that I explained would be inconvenient.
we all gotta do what we gotta do!!!!!!
that is the real way to go.
as of yet, no member of the jehovah's witness faith can defend their unique beliefs.
when the dust settles, it all comes down to blind faith in men's ever-changing ideas.
this "unique belief" was not a "true teaching of the bible.
Congratulations 'Defender Of Truth' for being bold enough to
emulate the Beroeans to 'see if it's so'. That's why many of us are here also.
Continue to "test your faith" and you will be rewarded in a way that may
not seem strategic or logical from a human viewpoint. Enjoy the journey!
