If you do not change your beliefs every time the WBTS changes what they are teaching, you will be concidered an apostate and disfelllowshipped?

When does the WBTS change their "beliefs"??? I've heard of the light getting brighter and brighter, as the scripture says, but they don't change their beliefs, because the Bible doesn't change.

Christians know this of The Kingdom of Heaven
(1)
Matthew 11:
11-12 I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.
(2)
Matthew 13:11-15
11 ...He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes...
(3)
Revelations 21:10-26
(4)
Ezekiel Chapters 42 & 43

That's right and don't you forget it. You gave up all your friends and probably your family to be in the JWs and if you disagree "" you got not one"" so stay the course or be an outcast to everyone.
Lets look at the end 3702
NWT - Zeph. 1:8 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah’s fury; but by the fire of his zeal the whole earth will be devoured, because he will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth.”
The Bible says in Zeph 1:18, “…but by the fire of his zeal THE WHOLE EARTH WILL BE DEVOURED, because he will make an EXTERMINATION, indeed a terrible one, of ALL the inhabitants of the earth.”
I see every inhabitant dies here - ???
Now the bible does mention the Kingdom a few (tongue-in-cheek) places such as:
Matt. 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
and
Matt. 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Yep, they change all the time. First you could smoke cigarettes, then you couldn't, they used to celebrate Christmas, now they don't, they also said there would be two groups, the great crowd that will live forever on a paradise earth and the 144,000 that reign with Christ in heaven. Now they are saying there could possibly be another group joining the great crowd here on earth. It's not about the light getting brighter, it's about flip-flopping to gain the appeal of the masses, thus increasing their numbers. I used to sit in meetings where they purposely were discussing how they have set out to make themselves stand out from other religions because it proves they are the one true religion and makes them persecuted like Jesus. Get off the cross people(oops, sorry I meant steak)!lol

MAMAb, um hello... THEY (jw's) changed the bible. Check their bible that has the hebrew & greek scriptures translated into english and read the footnotes with all their excuses as to why they changed it.

http://towerwatch.com/ corrected link good read indeed
Yes,I was shocked to my senses when the Watchtower flip-flopped in 1995 on the 'generations' prophecy.
Everything I was indoctrinated with by the Jehovah's Witnesses was a false Gospel.

Yeah, but none of you tell what is going to be the future of this planet, and what is going to be the Kingdom that Jehovah´s witnesses preach.
