"Why is the KM you post directed to "Britain" (not even Great Britain)?"
i always asked why the WTS only used the word britain instead of the proper title Great Britain. the WTS wouldnt want any dub to think that anything was greater than themselves. it's like calling the USA, 'States of America' rather than United States of America.
Avoid arrogance? ROFLMAO!!! Do they read their own publications?
Thanks Stepnanus!

I, too, enjoyed the "Avoid Arrogance" article. YOU KNOW, YADIRF? You out there? LOL!

thanks Stephanus!
I like those suggested presentations:
WT 1-15 all the bloodshed that has occured: they have that: Malawai, publishers confused on blood fractions.
AW 1-22 Security threatened: living in a pedophile household or congregation
AW 2-8 child prostitution: no money may of been exchanged but hurt was.
WT 2-1 unemployment: they have many who after getting out of Bethel,or pioneering have no schooling degrees on which to fall back on because they say one does not need an education.
just my answers to their questions: to bad they won't be stopping by for quite some time.

That's OK Stephanus, I just thought you had more important things to do!
Glad to be of service.
I have a question regarding the last article :
Does just saying that all JWs believe the same thing and all speak the pure language make it so? Isn't one of the the main principles of JWism to go along with the org, even if you have questions/doubts because everything will be worked out in the end? Does that mean they all believe the same thing? I think NOT.
Thanks for the kind comments, peeps! Dmouse and I are just humble instruments of the FDS, making sure that the meat in due season gets out to all who need it. LOL
Just checked my site stats for this issue of the KM - over 177 people hungry for the "meat of the word" served!
Am currently working on the December issue - it should be up within the hour...
Sorry; i just read the first page of the km. i know from that food i got tomaine poisoning .. will someone please an ambulance.. i need a stomach pumping.... john
I like how it says "shun apostate material". Since when did printed material get baptized or DF'd? Whose the arbiter over what is "apostate"?
The front-page article "Living Up to Our Dedication" contains at least one mis-application of a scripture. Actually the application made is a complete distortion, a fraud.
Paragraph 3 "Being surrounded by Satan's world, we must exercise self-discipline, avoiding anything that could contaminate our mind or corrupt our heart. (Prov. 4:23; Matt. 5:29,30) Christians are admonished that they "cannot be partaking of the 'table of Jehovah' and the table of demons" (1 Cor. 10:21) This requires that we guard against unwholesome entertainment, bad associations, and dangers on the Internet."
That is just so much garbage. Once again the WTS shows its style of taking scriptures out of context. 1 Corinthians 10 is alll about fleeing from idolatry. In context, 1 Cor. 10:21 reads:
"Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and i do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?" -1 Cor. 10:18-22 (NIV)
How many Dubs overlook the lies and distortions in the publications, even claiming this as "spiritual food"? How many of us posters can look back on the time they swallowed these husks, instead of wholesome spiritual food?
Cheers, Ozzie
