`Finished Mystery' 1918 edition sells for $61 on Ebay

by Room 215 in

this recently concluded sale on ebay prompted a question on nature of the secondary or ``collectors'" market for old and out-of-print wt literature.

apparently, it's become a fairly well-established collecting speciality.

as do collectors in the more established collectible sectors of, say, coins and postage stamps, one would imagine that in time the players would sort out issues relating to ``fair market values" of the various old books and other material, their relative rarity, etc., and that collectors guides, reference sources or price lists would begin to turn up.

on another tread this point came up.

scotsman posted a comment about a certain poster being gay, and i do not know or care if this is true or not, and in conflict over the fear of dying at armageddon for this "sin".

do any of you fear the big a because of your lifestyle?

ditto cicatrix

Scaring people about armagedon is no differnt than other religions scaring with hellfire.

some of you know that we live way out in the country, deep in the woods of northern mn.

one of the great things out here is the abundant wildlife that we see everyday.

last week we had a huge porcupine in the yard (which our four year old calls a hamster.....lol).

Blondie, Is there an earlier thread on this? I dont know anything about this (Mexico &Malawi)

JW Baby Given Blood

by Kenneson in

despite the parents objections, a duval county, florida (jacksonville area) judge ordered blood transfusions for a baby born prematurely.

interestingly, even the aclu did not side with the parents.

see "judge overrides parents on giving blood to baby.

Its nice to see the courts looking out for helpless infants

Regulations Beyond Those Provided in the Scriptures

by Corvin in

i found this on the official jw site:

conscience

jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.

Hi Corvin here is an interesting quote i found on a jw site:

first of all the structure of the organization is such that the governing body only answers to God, we the "earthly things" have no right to an apology, in their view they answer to jehovah and jehovah alone. The precedents for this are, king david made no public apology for his gross error and neither did moses, both men were judged and punished by God directly.The annointed governing body believe themselves to be the representatives of christ rulership on earth.

Now we no why they arent accountable
