I'm sorry to inform you Mrs. Johnson, but.....you've got 'governing body'
by Esse quam videri inmrs. johnson, our team has been working on your case for a number of weeks.
the money disappearing from your bank account, the constant confusion about 'watchtower teachings', such as the shifting understanding of the 1914 generation, the jw.org logo that seems seems to appear in the strangest places, the singing cart song that you can't get out of your head.
our experts have finally come to the conclusion that.

OH WITNESS CART
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
What misery hast thou thrust into my tortured night.
My sweated pillow is witness to the sleepless sight,
That, dark and moonless sky, brings no reprieve from gloom,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
Pray yonder door open wide and end my gloom
Pray sun to rise and speed your rolling flight,
Pray thine wheels roll straight to my street,
Pray you make my life complete,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
What boundless ecstasy this beating heart knows,
For joyous time, whence ends your track,
Once again I taste and drink from the
Blessed fruit of your shiny and tender rack.
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
Why do I hover like bird of prey,
Cursing sun, speeding across yonder sky,
Why does bright sunlight give way to darkened clouds,
When your sacred wheels again to horizon roll,
Such a loss again suffers my tormented soul,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.
A dagger through mine heart,
When again disappears your wheels and frame,
And each night brings pain, the same,
Oh Witness cart, Oh Witness cart.

'...RECORDING is not permited...'
What makes this whole scenario so interesting is that anyone can view, download, review again, AND as many times as they want. MS's, publishers [is that term still used?] brothers, sisters, children, your next door neighbor, Aunt Tillie, Uncle Bernie, the clerk at 7-11, every long haul trucker from here to El Salvador, every fisherman from Newfoundland to Alaska, every lumberjack from California to Brazil, every coal miner from Kentucky to China, etc. etc. etc.The amazing thing is that the only people that cannot download are elders, CO's, DO's, included. So the whole world can review this video and get every word straight EXCEPT the elders. At least they can never admit to it.
Amazing, absolutely amazing. -

O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
How thy racks are so shiny!
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
How thy racks are so shiny!
Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!How thy racks are so shiny!
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
For every day the Witness cart,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
How thy racks are so shiny!
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
How thy racks are so shiny!
Each rack doth hold its tiny mag,
That makes each wheel to sparkle bright.
O Witness cart, O Witness cart!
Thy racks shine out brightly! -

Question re: TerryWalstrom post on Reza Aslan
by Esse quam videri inas i understand reza alsan's explanation of our view of history vs the ancients, the ancients were not so committed to recording accurate facts as recording ideas which, reza aslan stated , would be their understanding of truth.
it appears many have been quick to accept reza aslan's comments as having great weight.
he is a convincing speaker, i think mainly, because he believes what he says.

As I understand Reza Alsan's explanation of our view of history vs the ancients, the ancients were not so committed to recording accurate facts as recording ideas which, Reza Aslan stated , would be their understanding of truth. It appears many have been quick to accept Reza Aslan's comments as having great weight. He is a convincing speaker, I think mainly, because he believes what he says. Many here have, in the past, given convincing arguments to support subjects they now reject.
My questions are the following:
Why has accepted evidence shown that the ancients were so fastidious in making accurate records if the idea was the important thing? Why meticulous recording of events as they were handed down generation after generation?
I direct attention to comments regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls as a contribution to this topic.
After years of careful study, it has been concluded that the Dead Sea Scrolls give substantial confirmation that our Old Testament has been accurately preserved. The scrolls were found to be almost identical with the Masoretic text. Hebrew Scholar Millar Burrows writes, “It is a matter of wonder that through something like one thousand years the text underwent so little alteration. As I said in my first article on the scroll, ‘Herein lies its chief importance, supporting the fidelity of the Masoretic tradition.'”{6}
A significant comparison study was conducted with the Isaiah Scroll written around 100 B.C. that was found among the Dead Sea documents and the book of Isaiah found in the Masoretic text. After much research, scholars found that the two texts were practically identical. Most variants were minor spelling differences, and none affected the meaning of the text.
One of the most respected Old Testament scholars, the late Gleason Archer, examined the two Isaiah scrolls found in Cave 1 and wrote, “Even though the two copies of Isaiah discovered in Qumran Cave 1 near the Dead Sea in 1947 were a thousand years earlier than the oldest dated manuscript previously known (A.D. 980), they proved to be word for word identical with our standard Hebrew Bible in more than 95 percent of the text. The five percent of variation consisted chiefly of obvious slips of the pen and variations in spelling.”{7}
Despite the thousand year gap, scholars found the Masoretic Text and Dead Sea Scrolls to be nearly identical. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide valuable evidence that the Old Testament had been accurately and carefully preserved.

JW Cart - Historical Photo - 1
by Esse quam videri inwith all the buzz about the jw public witnessing cart it has escaped the notice of all but the most studious researchers that the wt carts were actually started by pastor charles taze russell.
a careful examination of one of the most famous photographs of the 1906 san fransisco fire, caused by the preceding earthquake, reveals a wt cart.
further investigation brought the researchers attention to bible student sister myrtle jenson, shown on the left of the photograph, and facing away from the camera, looking down sacramento street.

steve2 said,
'In what publication is this sister's experience related? How many years later did she recount it? From what source did you acquire a copy of the photograph? The cart looks very modern and could pass for a current cart raising a question about photo-shopping.
Really? In keeping with the Watchtower Society's tendency toward 'historical adjustments' I see nothing strange or unusual about this photograph. As for Sister Jenson's recounting of events, it evidently would appear that she did make such a statement.
