Hi Ozzie
they would acknowledge
Who? I’ve explained the difference between what the Bethelite artists are supposed to do and what they can do outside the parameters given to them. Obviously, if the gb told the artists to go around stealing other’s artwork (because they have a lot of fun wasting time in Court and defending lawsuits and wasting time and money with legal proceedings and lawyers and paying judgments when all they had to do is create something on their own,) that would be wrong.
(There are some issues with the Rev artwork if you study some illustrations carefully you may detect it. Obviously escaped the notice of wt officials before the book was published.)

Perish the thought. You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth, page 93.
You need to read all of my posts on this topic here not just what you like to conclude from them. I made clear the distinction between wt, the guidelines they give Bethel artist and Bethel artist and whether they follow guidelines.
Further, wt can get permission to use original art or they may otherwise have the right to use non-original art. Did you forget to read that? The only point is that wt artists have the resources to create original art and logically that is what they do. If they don’t, you wonder what is the reason.

Is Disfellowshipping properly legislated?
by Rattigan350 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in the insight book under expelling, it refers to 1 cor 5 and titus 3 and 2 thess 3 as the basis for disfellowshipping.they've often said that the governing body was stated in acts 15 of the apostles and older men.

however, why was there no decree or letter issued by the governing body or apostles and older men and sent out to the congregations, detailing the principles of disfellowshipping?

it is all paul.
Fisherman

So, why is a doctrine and procedure created based on only what Paul said?
In a legal setting a person that is disorderly or breaks a law can be trespassed from private or even public property for a year or longer because he is encroaching on others. In a church setting or JW community a member who breaks the rules and doesn’t want to stop disrupts the practicing of religion by others in the group. If he doesn’t stop, he is put out. Fundamentally, this makes sense.

i read a news article that scientists have made from stem cells a human embryo.

poor soul..

it’s not human
Try explaining that to a creature with a mind and heart like the rest of us. Or maybe that’s the justification for parts of it.

I will say that when a wt illustrator creates a drawing or painting, he or she has used a real JW person as a model. Do you think wt is going risk getting sued by copying somebody else’s work? Does wt graphics department need to copy or can’t they create something themselves. Obviously they can and they do. Sometimes unintentionally it turns out similar or maybe someone can argue that it was intentional but wt has the resources to create original artwork.

You really think these boxes( given the truthfulness of these posts) are as innocuous as they seem or is there something else brewing. We will have to wait and see.

I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....
by BeaverEater in

im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

lol.

god of love who murders babies is as impossible as a square circle.
That’s been answered many times on this Forum but you don’t like the answer —although based on a false premise that unaliving anybody you like especially babies (by God) to you is mur$er because you say so.
