  Why no Crisis of Conscience eBook pdf version?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there has to be a lot of fading or questioning jw out there that want to read this book but are afraid of getting the hard copy because of fears of getting caught, mailing issues, etc.

  i think if this were available as an ebook, so many more ppl would be able to read it.

  it would make it so much easier for those who want to take a look at this discreetly and take the leap.

  If someone has the patience to scan every page, it can be done. However, I'm not sure of the legal ramifications. I think the best route would be to contact Franz himself and suggest it to him. Does anyone here know him personally? Maybe it's worth a shot to suggest this to him?

  we all know the minute one person pays to download an 'e' version, 20 more or 100 get it free, from being passed on to them..

  Absolutely! Mind freeing information is a good thing!

  I think the simple act of getting this to pdf format would be HUGE in accelerating the exposure of the WTS.

  I'm sure something of a financial nature can be worked out for our dear Br. Franz to compensate for any monetary losses, if any at all.

  Besides, I'm sure his main motive for writing this book was to tell the truth to as many ppl as possible and any $$ resulting from this was considered a bonus.

  If profits are what's keeping him from doing it, how about using the voluntary donation arrangement? The exposure will be much greater and he may even receive more financial support than right now? I feel that it's such a powerful piece of work and it appears that more and more ppl in the org secretly want to look into it but are afraid of getting caught and snitched on.

As far as I know, there isn't one available. Don't you think it would be a good idea for Ray Franz to get this out in pdf format?

  I saw it in the theatres last fall. Very outside-the box type of movie. I really enjoyed it. Very thought provoking. I look at the world differently ever since watching it. I give it my thumbs up!

  What Is The "Bottom Line" Regarding The "Truth"/ Organization???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it that it's all a joke, a smokescreen?

  is it all about 'just do for us and expect nothing in return'?

  is it that they really don't care about anything but their property and their real estate?

  And with that, a giant collective sigh could be heard falling through the noses of the brothers and sisters, like a procrastinating turd that managed to waste two hours inside a dark hole before rolling out into the bowl with a satisfying splash.

  This was the most poetic thing I've ever read. WOW!

  What does the WTBTS make of sept. 11th?

  by Bas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my first thought was actually that the 2 prophets had arrived for the watchtower, meaning it would collapse itself in the not to distant future.. secondly i thought the watchtower would say the twin towers are the final prophets for the coming armageddon.

  i'm not aware of any official communications on behalf of the wtbts regarding the subject, are there?

  in fact i did stay in new york in 2000 but i only walked brooklyn bridge halfway, never made it to brooklyn.

  Brooklyn HQ has a direct view to the WTC. From 124 and 30 Columbia Hgts. Straight across the river, front row seats.

  My friend from Bethel told me that when the attacks happened, a bunch of ppl were gravitating toward the windows to see what was going on(naturally). After a few minutes the overseer came by and told ppl to get back to work.

  There were swarms of ppl coming across the Brooklyn bridge from the Manhattan side. He told me that bethel locked all their doors.

  Can you feel the love?

  Cruel Joke by Circuit Overseer

  by diamondblue1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was reading the thread about the prospect of the wts releasing some new light shite about a prophecy to fulfil the fact that they are not growing and it brought back a really horrid memory, unintentional i know but horrid nonetheless.. the co visited the congregation were i was from and after the obligatory song and prayer, it was announced that the co needed to speak to us urgently on a local needs issue.

  he came onto the platform his look was sombre and melancholy (nothing new there then).

  he said he had an announcement from the governing body and that their had been a law passed that day which banned jw's in the uk that the usa and other world governments had notified the wts that they were to follow suit shortly.

  Imagine if anyone else raised their hand to make a comment and made this remark. You would be severely counselled for spreading false rumours. But hey..it's ok if the CO does it.

  Has anyone read the Book of Enoch?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is a book supposedly written by enoch that some say was left out of the bible canon by the early church when it was being put together.. i'm in the middle of it and find it very interesting.

  it gets into some fascinating details about the pre-flood world than the books in the regular bible canon.

  enoch has a lot of visions which are very reminscent of revelation.

  leolaia,

  I have this one. "The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament" R.H. Charles (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913)

  I appreciate the amazing effort you put into researching this on the other thread. I've only skimmed though it so far but it looks extremely informative.
