Who is Gog of Magog? - Watchtower May 2015
by jwleaks in

2. beliefs
here we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.

for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.

this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.

What did Splane say at the last AGM - "If the Scriptures are silent (about types and antitypes) then we must be silent."
Except when it comes to Armageddon, etc.
(Gog OF Magog means this, but Gog AND Magog means whatever else we want it to mean.)

Does anyone have the Awake! January 1 1989? - 20th Century Quote
by jwfacts in

2. bible
the awake!

january 1 1989 contains the quote on page 12 "he was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century.

" this was later changed in the bound volume and on the cd library to "in our day.".

A particularly funny and similar example was when the publication date for Object And Manner Of Our Lord's Return was moved back 4 years in the 1930 - 1985 Watchtower Publications Index.

I despised Saturday morning ministry.
Assemblies and conventions became a major bore.
I enjoyed cleaning the bathrooms.
I hated Kingdom Hall / Assembly Hall yard maintenance.
I hated talking to zombies after the meetings about BS.
I loved non-Saturday morning ministry and I loved giving talks.

But WHY did these Witnesses even have any money to invest (and lose!).
They didn't.

The Court emphasizes that most of those harmed by this scam had a precarious financial position, so that its financial position was very poor after delivering all the money they have earned in their working lives "induced by an abuse of confidence of those who considered their 'protectors elders'.

this my friends will help in a long struggle that me and my girlfriend are having.........does the toilet paper unravel over or under.

thank you for your cooperation on this timely matter...

GoodHousekeeping Magazine, Toilet Paper Manufacturers and Hotels say over, so the overwhelming consensus from those that appear to matter is over. Why not compromise? You get it your way one roll; she gets it her way one roll.
Why not have 2 toilet paper holders in every bathroom, one over and one under?

It seems the majority of apostates approve of toilet paper being over instead of under. Expect the WBTS to now firmly stand against this Satanic practice.
Surely, the 24 elders in heaven have directed the current GB on this. Does Bethel not have a manual that includes this vital element?

To avoid overloading the septic system, publishers are advised to use only one sheet per toilet visit.
Surely, this could be an invaluable position for CA's and DC's - not just a bathroom attendant supervising paper towel usage, but a bathroom attendant passing one square at a time, to a total maximum of 3 squares per visit.

"the Walking Dead" special tract campaign in August!
by stuckinarut2 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i obviously have an active imagination.... i can just see the parallels between "the walking dead" and the masses of witnesses hyped up during the august campaign!.

big crowds of slow walking witnesses with no logical brain function, moving en-mass towards non-witnesses....with only one combined thought "must leave tract".....as they mumble to each other......dragging feet......like zombies..... when one person in the community accepts a tract, they are then the target of every witness who smells their 'interest' and is swamped with more and more visits...big crowds pile on top of them, stripping away at their very individuality and being....until they become one of them!.

Simon:
When you blast and kudo posts about different themes, then why, for heaven's sakes, do you allow these overt zombist posts?
It's 2015.
Are zombies not people, just because they are a little different?

I grew up in a "under" household.
However, I analyzed (anal ised ? WTH ) the germ factor, and deduced that over has far fewer chances of contaminated contact than under.
Spend some time (you have time while you're there, right), do the math.
Over is the only logical way.
Not my dad's way, but it's now my way.
Over and out.

Who Is Engineering the Re-branding of Jehovahs Witnesses

is it an outside source?.

an inside job?

maybe the younger gb "helpers"?.
berrygerry

Too many things are happening all at once. It's a well thought out and organized plan. It's outside help I'm sure.
There is absolutely outside consulting taking place.
Given the seniority BS in Bethel, it could only be an outside firm able to make so many changes, so quickly, whether it's a JW PR firm or not.
(BTW J.R. Brown has been the JW media guy for a long, long, time.)

Wouldn't have changed a thing. There is NO WAY any "serious topic" would have been discussed.
I am divided on what could have been accomplished.
But, TOMO sounded human, with a genuine laugh.
Far different from his rants - these guys MUST have EVERYTHING scripted for them.
