i keep hearing this in threads.....
To all of those who give credit to apostate ideas on anti-JW sites for changing Watchtower doctrines please keep in mind that our ideas are not as original as our egos (including mine) might think. There are probably thousands of ex and still-in JWs who, without any collusion, come out with the same ideas.
I myself came up with the idea that the Watchtower magazine should be trimmed down to a monthly issue - 35 years ago.
any help would be really appreciated.
their library contains wt publications that go back to 1880's.
Fading Truth: "Also, pm'd you a website that has a lot of older publications in PDF form."
Can you give us a link to that website?
for jw's the issue has never been who the faithful and wise servant (f&ds) was.
that is just misdirection and sleight of hand.
it is plain from the context that this was obviously a rhetorical question meant for self introspection.
Perry: "The New Testament is the world's best selling book by far."
Most people who own a Bible don't read hardly any of it.
as i've mentioned from time to time, i'm a retired accountant.
i have tried many times to come up with some logical, sound business reason why the wtbs has made the big changes in its financial arrangements: taking the congregations savings, the monthly donations per congregation etc.
i finally came up with the answer.. the leadership of the watchtower society is batshit crazy.
JeffT:
"The leadership of the Watchtower Society is batshit crazy."
They have been rational enough throughout the last 130 some years; why should they be crazy now?

dear brothers:.
in my mind i see this as a very real situation developing rapidly world wide as these child molestation pay out become public knowledge and can no longer be denied or kept secret from the r&f.
pretty soon the governing body will be the but of many jokes at headquarters and abroad.
they are being caught red handed while robbing the cookie jar.

Sorry Perry but that movie is far more memorable than the 4 Gospels combined.
Sacrifice is a common motif in the myths of Man but that simply means that the myth of Yeshua ben Yosef has the same roots as the rest of them.

i suffer from cheese addiction.
lobsters are mercilessly boiled alive.. but after watching this new documentary called cowspiracy on netflix, all that may change.
SecretSlaveClass, having two children per household is not going to reduce our population. Having one child will. Resources will continue to be depleted at the same present rate with two children per couple.
What is needed, as I previously mentioned, is a complete restructuring of our civilization and that won't happen unless the current one collapses.
this topic was already discussed in the following thread: .
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/451530001/we-need-more-money-letter-sent-mexico-re-jw-broadcasting-may-2015.
if you don't want to go through the whole thing; basically it is about a letter that was sent by mexico's branch requiring the body of elders to modify the service meeting for this week (september 21) and the following (september 28) in order to watch (again) stephen lett's solicitation for money (may's broadcasting).. so, why a new thread?
It's either this
