No evil slave? There goes one of our titles. I used to wear it with pride imagining a crown on my head with "evil slave" written on it.

New Light! The Evil Slave Class no longer exists!
by FusionTheism inquote from the watchtower, march 15, 2015, page 23:.
in the illustration of the faithful and discreet slave, jesus spoke of an evil slave who beat his fellow slaves.
jesus was not there foretelling that an evil slave class would arise.

jhine,
"What is it about their drawings that is "off ""
Their illustrations used to be childish and crude. I remember a friend from school requesting a specific booklet that had been advertised in a leaflet. When I gave him the booklet he laughed at the cover. This was in the early 70s - the booklet from the 60s.
Then they got a little better but when they illustrated crowds of people it looked like they had been cut and pasted. One had a bunch of people going through a mountain pass walking towards paradise. The people in it were gazing in different directions making it seem like they were oblivious to each other.
An example:
They have also been known to 'steal' other people's illustrations. Such as this slightly altered one:

JW sighting while shopping
by Scully ini was out today at the grocery store, picking up a few things for the weekend, when just beyond the pineapples, i spotted a jw lady i was once friends with.. i wasn't interested in engaging in conversation, so i just continued picking out fruit, when out of the corner of my eye, i see her look at me and recognize me.
she looked like she was panicking, and then darted behind a pillar in the store, trying to hide from me!.
my dd was with me and noticed what happened.

Why is this scripture blank in some bibles and not in others? It is blank in the JW bible, too.
by Wild_Thing inand he replied, i do believe that jesus christ is the son of god.acts 8:37 (brg) | in context | whole chapter37 and philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
the officer said, i believe that jesus christ is the son of god.|acts 8:37 (gnv) | in context | whole chapter37 and philip said unto him, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
and he answered and said, i believe that jesus christ is the son of god.acts 8:37 (kjv) | in context | whole chapter37 and philip said, if thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.

At biblegateway.com you will find, in the New International Version, the following explanation under footnote "c" which is annotated right on the blank verse at 37:
Some manuscripts include here Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” The eunuch answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” - Acts 8:37 New International Version
Sometimes a scripture is found in several manuscripts but not in others. This suggests that some copyist added verses to other manuscripts. I believe that scholars tend to choose the earliest manuscript as the most "authentic" one.

An experience at Bethel
by joe134cd ini was just thinking of something i observed on a visit to bethel some years back, that at the time struck me as odd, but now that i look back on it, it might be revealing about their financial situation.
please feel free to agree/disagree with me and also bear in mind this is some years back so my memory may be sketchey.
i remember walking into the front entrance of the bethel to do a tour.

When I used to order "Truth" books in different languages (as a collection) I received a refund for those languages which were out of stock. The refund was paid in postage stamps.
