  i told my son that the society is reducing the size of their public edition from 32 pages to 16 pages.

  he asked if they will now call it "half awake!".

  of course, it could be "half asleep!

  Biting off more than they can chew - why I think the Society's internet approach is good for us, bad for them...

  i've been giving some thought to the society's latest decision to reduce the size of the awake, and relaunch jw.org as a revamped site - intended for bringing in yet more converts.

  for those who missed it, here is the relevant part of the leaked letter to elders discussing these changes.... the internet is a technology that jehovahs organization is using to good advantage to spread the good news to all corners of the earth.

  consider the impact our web sites are having.

  Do you think there are very many witnesses who are using tablets right now at the meetings? My son's father-in-law told me that there was a young man at his hall who had an ipad, had downloaded the study Watchtower, and that's what he was using instead of a printed Watchtower. Said he could even click a link and open up the scriptures that were cited. He thought it was great and might get one for himself.

  College and the Watchtower: Remember One Thing

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if any of you lurkers listen to a rant by the society against college, remember one thing:.

  the brother giving the talk is probably an utter hypocrite.. there are a few exceptions but consider that many elders are financially secure - which allows them to be elders.

  while they talk about not planning for the future because armageddon 'is so close', they have pensions, ira's, roth accounts and investments.

  Whether or not a person goes to college is none of the Watchtower's business. It's a personal decision, and that's the end of the matter.

  Help.. was the 8/15/68 WT altered later?

  by Norcal_Sun in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  hello, i am doing some research on 1975 again, and i came across this on a couple different sites:.

  are we to assume from this study that the battle of armageddon will be all over by the autumn of 1975, and the long-looked-for thousand-year reign of christ will begin by then?

  possibly, but we wait to see how closely the seventh thousand-year period of man's existence coincides with the sabbathlike thousand-year reign of christ.

  I think James Penton had a lot to say about it in the book, "Apocalyse Delayed," as to exactly what happened when he took over. Russell intended that the president was to be MacMillan.

  Common JW phrases that aren't in the Bible

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm interested to know common phrases jehovah's witnesses use, but don't actually apear in the bible (even the nwt).

  especially phrases most jw's would assume are in the bible.

  e.g.. "paradise earth".

  Doesn't anyone remember when this happened about 10 years ago? Longo was raised a witness, married a nice witness girl, and they had three children. He was also a ministerial servant in the Ypsilanti, Michigan, congregation but disfellowshipped when the elders found out he had been involved in credit card fraud. The murders were shocking beyond belief. He even tied pillowcases to his children's legs and filled them with stone so they would sink when he threw them alive into the bay in Oregon.

  After 10 years I decided to find out if he was still alive. This is the guy who strangled his wife and baby and threw his other two children into the bay (Oregon). This guy had absolutely no remorse. After the murders he flew to Cancun, posed as a news reporter, and shacking up with an unsuspecting German girl when the authorities came to arrest him. I bet she still has nightmares about this.

  Now he's using his desire to help "save lives" by donating his organs--changing the law so that even prisoners can donate. Problem is--the process of execution actually makes the organs unfit. Well, you'll just have to read this article for more details.
