a close family member just informed me what happened during their last c.o.
visit.
this occurred 3 months ago.
Sounds like they didn't DF someone, CO didn't care for this mercy and he fired them. Or maybe they had too much in the local bank account and were "indecisive" about sending it to HQ.
I wonder who this "ax man" CO is and if he has done any other "hatchet jobs".
ok, since all the evidence and people/scholars etc, all agree that jerusalem was destroyed in 587/586 bce and not 607 bce.
how do the jw's get the extra 20 years, i understand the 2520 years and going back from 1914. but alot of the proof goes by adding up the kings reigns, and it gets you to the 587/586 date, do jw's simply add on a few years for each king, or is their a mystery king that ruled for 20 years that only they know about.. hhhhhhmmmmmmm.
hope my question makes sense.
They basically say "Don't trust history, trust us instead!"
When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed? Part One & Two
johannes greber's book "communication with the spirit word of god -- it's laws and purpose" states that, in order to seek god's truth one must cummunicate with the spirit world on a regular basis.
according to the governing body, they get their teachings from those who have died and been resurrected to heaven (the watchtower, jan. 1, 2007, p.28, para.11).
also, it was published that the gb meets on a regular basis, every wednesday (the watchtower, may 15, 2008, p.29).
Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. after morning worship (07:00:00a.m.) and breakfast.
.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

DATA-DOG. No, Mario Moreno (ja ja ja) is not considered one of the "Helpers to the GB".
He is one of their top lawyers. In fact WT brought he and his wife into Bethel while they were still raising kids. Mario Jr. is at Wallkill now.
I have seen them in publications in the past, but they haven't been parading him around like some others.

Product Placement! I wonder if March will feature a Roku?
DATA-DOG, great picture! I had forgotten that one. That guy is Bro. Serna (Cerna?). Patterson Bethelite. He and his wife were at the Branch in Mexico. He provides technical support to translation teams. His wife was in a picture not too long ago, decorating a Christmas tree "at work".

i have lots of wt literature that i want to get rid of, and i know that a lot of the literature is "valuable" in the sense that we need to have a record of what was said and when... and hopefully, all the pictures.. one of the least well-preserved of wt literature is the yearbooks.
they contain valuable information that is not on the wt library... for example, all of the pictures of the many jw's, or the charts and data, or the daily text.. .
so, atlantis, or anyone who wants it, i am willing to ship the yearbooks to you with the condition that you will scan them and provide them for the entire community, and you pay for the shipping.anyone willing to take them?.
Atlantis, Are there any items in particular that your archives are missing?
