i must be in a bad mood the last couple weeks on this board.
i see people that a critical and mean.
yes i even do this, but only in self-defense and not proud of it either.
There have been many times on this board where The Listener has felt correct about a matter only to be shown wrong by others. The Listener appreciates all the hard work and effort everyone has put into their research and respectfully requests that an open informative exchange of ideas continue. Whether one's writing style is authoritative or conciliatory it seems only proper to include pertinent backup information. Many on this board do that, and The Listener is thankful.

The Listener ROCKS!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!
Ooops wrong thread.
never mind.

i want a copy of the "x-mas" issue of the golden age; the issue that describes that dubs can practice xmas, but i need the actual paper maybe with a note on dub stationary that it is an actual copy.. it's easy to find the text on-line, but i have yet to find a hard copy in a kh library.. what will brooklyn do if i ask for one?
i'm serious because i made this claim and now i can't prove it.
Which issue is it?
jesus didn't exactly explicate hebrew scripture the way paul did.
jesus was like an undercover agent, a mole, using a small network to accomplish a spy mission.
paul or jesus?
I read everyone's posts (and understood less than a third) and have a question.
If I accept the canonized Bible and I accept that God inspired the words in it to help me live my life then...
Paul clearly feels the law is no longer operative upon followers of Jesus.
But, does the Mosaic Law itself point toward future fulfillment and thus cessation?
I've always assumed the law had a built in "Jesus clause" that pointed to the Messiah as the fulfiller of the law. Perhaps that is just the NT scriptures and not supported by the OT law itself.
sorry if this has been posted before.
i came across it and thought it was worth pointing out: http://members.tripod.com/sosoutreach/wts/607.html.
(edited) the annoying popup caused me to cut and paste the table from the page, rather than embed it: the narrative before and after is good too so you might want to check it out the original page.
Dozy, I welcome you to the board.
Your 364 economists comparison is lacking.
For me there are two glaring reasons why you're mistaken and guilty of stretching a comparison to its breaking point. Which by the way is never a good debate tactic. When one argument fails you don't keep restating it, you move on. Always have more than one argument in your arsenal
1 - Was this a historical review which would have solid factual conclusion or a predictive analysis which would be affected by necessary assumptions?
2 - How many economists issued an opinion on Thatcher's reforms? If we were to look at every economist who made a prediction of how Thatcher's reforms would work out would they all agree? What about economists from other parts of the world?
2 Continued - If you have the information, please post every historical authority who states that the date of Jerusalem's fall is either unknown or is 607BCE. If I'm correct, and I certainly may not be, Rolf Furuli doesn't put forward 607BCE as the date for Jerusalem's destruction. His work then may qualify for the date of Jerusalem's fall being unknown category.
Anway, predicting the future can be tough so we shan't be too hard on those poor economists. If you doubt the difficulty of prediction just ask the WTS.

my first thought was there was no way they dared to do this - that maybe this was a misunderstood rumor of sorts.. on my drive home this evening - it hit me!
I have quite a few of those old blue binders for the WT/AW.
Now you order heavy duty brown plastic cases for the same purpose. I can't find my literature order form or I'd provide the order # and item name. Anyway they are cheaper and uglier than the older blue binders. Perhaps there's a picture of one on the net somewhere.

Blondie,
I agree. The WT could do one of two things. 1, they could request that each publisher keep a copy of the WT/AW for their personal use in the future since bound volumes will no longer be produced in their language. Or 2, they could produce softcover bound volumes just for such countries. This would reduce cost because the production numbers would go way down and they would be soft covered and not hard.

Phasing out bound volumes? Possibly.
Ceasing the WT CDrom? No way. The printed material is necessary to prepare for meetings, talks, some return visits and to research the WTS viewpoint on a matter before rendering judgment - whether personal or congregational.
Even if they cease production of the CDrom (which I just don't believe) we here in apostateland would scan each magazine as it's distributed and each new tract, book and brochure to create our own yearly WT CD rom update. And don't think those who are in the organization wouldn't do the same thing. There would be after-market CD roms everywhere - much like the theocratic ministry school schedule that many dubs have.
.
i've just put this on the hard drive for my mother and i notice that when you open it it pops up with the days text and what i'm presuming is the schedule for this weeks tms schedule.. why does this make me gag?
!
Can the WT cd rom be copied?
If so we only need one copy of it. I'd be glad to have somebody copy mine, when I get it. Which should be soon.
