Are the Silver S-Words stored at the back of the casts?
They are never on display, but in the bunker videos, they're loading up a bunch for their cart witnessing. Time is 11:30

well, i just finished reading marley cole's "jehovah's witnesses - the new world society" book from 1955. i'll provide a few quotes to introduce it in case you aren't familiar with the book.
ray franz in crisis of conscience, p74, 2004 hc edition: cole wrote the book as if he were a non-witness writing an objective account.
the idea was that by having the book published by an outside publishing firm it might reach persons who normally would not take society literature.
Page 51 about Pastor Russell:
He was Millen- nium's foremost prophet. His successor, J. F. Rutherford, declared: "He did a greater work for the cause of Messiah's Kingdom than did any other man that ever lived on the earth." {The Watch Tower, December 1, 1916, p. 374.)
hey all, .
so i recently posted for the first time and introduced myself.. i have been spending time reading various posts.
some informative, some not so much.. since i've been reading on here, i've read a lot from atheists.
My two cents.
I am a theist.
This forum has a number of Christians, open to debunk WT, and obtain converts.
The majority here are extremely respectful, AFA internet behaviour goes.
I do believe that WT philosophy benefits a small proportion of their membership. However, other high-control religions (Mormons, Scientology, Moonies, many Islam, extreme Christian), or groups (AA, etc.) would provide the same structure and discipline that substance abusers, etc. have been lacking in their lives.
Does this allow WT to exploit this structural control to manipulate the lives of these ones, and, more importantly, to effectively destroy the relationships of their members' friends and family?
No sane person would come to the conclusion that WT's alleged ends justifies the means.
As for feelings of those waking up:
To understand why we all feel so messed up, take a look here:

Bonnie's book is a MUST-READ for recovery.

i have a favor to ask.
i need some information found in a watchtower that i can't seem to find in my library.
today, the watchtower teaches that the governing body is the faithful slave.
Haven't found it yet, but the post about the 1959 WT seems interesting compared to this statement in March 1, 1961, p 147:
Already in 1919, with the beginning of the work to distribute The Golden Age, the Watch Tower Society, which had been serving as a form of governing body for the congregations
wt - july 15, 1960 p 443. again we can stay awake by our service and financial contributions to the watch tower society.
jehovah has done so much for us through this agency.
the least we can do to show our responding love and appreciation is to contribute our finances and time toward expanding the global preaching work.

Again we can stay awake by our service and financial contributions to the Watch Tower Society. Jehovah has done so much for us through this agency. The least we can do to show our responding love and appreciation is to contribute our finances and time toward expanding the global preaching work. The remnant in their small numbers contributed millions of dollars to the Society’s work prior to 1931. Surely now the “great crowd” are willing to do their share in making the Society’s educational work today the most important business in the world.
Don't forget about this Kevin:

Stay Alive, baby.
and it is still ongoing ?.
obviously sparked off by the 2 afro american citizens gunned down by police officers these past few days.?.
when is this sort of violence going to end ?.
Without trying to distract from this horrific event, the interpretation of the First and Second Amendments are absolutely insane.
not me surprisingly.
i thought i would be the one to go first.
this coming week my hubby is being announced as no longer being a jw.
I'm proud of him.
Wish I would have done the same eons ago.
hello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.
originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.
anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.
Most of those attending will be non-JWs, but they are jumping though hoops for the few JW relatives that are going to be there. I was informed just the day before this was to take place, that for a couple of hours of the reunion, we are allowed to be there, and then we have to leave. So the JW relatives won't throw a stink and make a big scene, like they did the last time.
This is whack.
Expected from the JW's, but what is the point of jumping through hoops for them. The JW's should not be attending a "worldly" function anyways.
This is outright emotional abuse to all members of your family.
