he said that they expect it to really divide people. For some it will open their eyes and for others they will reject it. Then we will be better able to discern who wants to hear more and who does not.Perhaps he (Losch) means it will divide JW's themselves to see who really is loyal (those who have no problem spreading this tract) and those who are actually apostates among them (those who have a problem with the tract). Sort of a way to shake things up among themselves...

THE BACK PEDDLING HAS ALREADY BEGUN......
by Mary inas i mentioned before in another thread, my dub aunt, along with several other witnesses, told me that they were specifically told that the governing body let it be known that tract work would trigger the beginning of the end by infuriating the other religions and somehow causing the governments to "turn on babylon the great".
this was supposed to start before the end of this year.
one thing i mentioned is that they were smart enough this time, not to put anything down in writing, but simply let it get around by "word of mouth".

The term apostate is used freely on this forum, don't you find it offensive
by avidbiblereader ini find the term apostate used freely towards those who have left the org, by both witnesses hiding and also ex witnesses calling themselves that.
don't you find that offensive.
i have been out for over 6 years and the last thing i consider myself is an apostate.

By taking ownership of the word "apostate" we neutralize it. Similar to "nigga" being used by african-americans.

Go out and rent all the "R" rated movies you wanted to watch but weren't allowed to before. You have some catching up to do....

Perhaps I am losing it faster than I thought or maybe I am giving the Wt too much credit...I dunno. Anyway, if you wouldn't mind sending any information on the topics I mentioned anything at all from the Wt Cd I would be grateful but I don't want to put you out. Thanks very much for your help!

Sure, if you want to e-mail at:[email protected] that would be fine. I am simply looking for their take on Mythology. I believe there is a few pages devoted to this. Also, it would be interesting to see what they say about Mithras and Dionysius.

by kid-A injust wanted to run an informal poll to see how "effective" or hopelessly "ineffective" the borg tract assimilation drive has been.. i for one, have not received the tract, and i live in densely populated development.

Yup! I got received two in two days. Yesterday, I received one from my Mom along with a note saying:
'Because we love you and know time is running out I wanted to make sure you got one of these as we are leaving these all over the world with people this month. Hope you will take time to consider and read this important message. We miss you very much! Love, Mom.'
Also, when I came home tonight I found one under my door.
