Governing Body Going After eBay
by Gary1914 inhello everyone.. i don't if this has been posted before.
if it has i apologize, but maybe my version will add to what is already known.. my brother is a district overseer.
the society sometimes places conferences calls to do's, co's and other overseers, especially when it is something that they do not want to put in writing.

I said "isn't that the hall with all the old books?" He said, "use to be, someone broke in and took everything."
Broke in my foot. It was probably an elder or servant with a key who knew how much they were worth on ebay.

I had discovered the ultimate truth. Powerful stuff.
If it were that easy. Unfortunately, it appears as if ultimate truth, although a reality, may never be found. Seems as if there are too many obstacles to finding it.

Now you might laugh, but here’s the point I’m trying to make: Jesus not only requires that you run the race with good flare, but he also requires that you run according to the rules. You can run as hard as you want to, but when you get down to that point where he sits there on his judgment throne and he sees that zigzag, you cut all across that lane, he may well say that you’re a goat and not a sheep, much to your surprise. We don’t want that brothers.
I wonder if this zigzagging is the same as tacking, mentioned on pg. 27 of the Dec. 1, 1981 Watchtower:
However, it may have seemed to some as though that path has not always gone straight forward. At times explanations given by Jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view. But this has not actually been the case. This might be compared to what is known in navigational circles as "tacking." By manuevering the sails the sailors can cause a ship to go from right to left, back and forth, but all the time making progress toward their destination in spite of contrary winds. And that goal in view for Jehovah's servants is the "new heavens and a new earth" of God's promise. -- 2 Pet. 3:13

COHI Towers Associates
by ErEf inin the story of barbara anderson she mentions cohi towers assiociates and she mentions them as very rich witnesses.. they bought buildings (standish hotel & bossert hotel) which where renovated (by voluntair witnesses presumably) and with goods of the wbts and afterwards sold to the watchtower.. is that the way some people gets even more rich?
is that the purpose of the organization?
is the selling/buying of these big buildings written down in archives?

Don't know if you have seen this information or not: http://www.freeminds.org/history/margarethotel.htm
And IMO, there IS an organization behind the organization.

Label the act for returning to JWism for family only (e.g. Gumby)
by UnConfused ini think it's a deserving act of love to make the sacrifice to rejoin a cult in order to stay connected to your family.
it's putting your love of your family over so so many things.
what could we call it so we could easily understand someone's actions who also does this?

Bearing that in mind, something like "Familial-ReBorging" might be more appropriate.
Too many syllables, LT. How 'bout famborging?

Creator Book - Periodic Table - Part 1
by Amazing ini believe in god ... but not because of any watchtower teaching.
it is actually fun to look back and see how they applied very poor logic and nonsense to try and prove their point.
today, the (c) 1998 watchtower book, "is there a creator who cares about you" was placed with me at the door.
