we have a stack of old jw (wts) and jw-related (commentary-type) books sat in boxes.
we haven't looked at them for years now and probably won't ever again.
options are:.
We got rid of all but 1 copy of each, for our references. I have found, as others have commented, that the CDROM doesn't necessarily say the same thing as the actual books, magazines etc. Even the bound volumes aren't always the same!
I have a good idea for the old magazines. We do a lot of traveling and wouldn't it be great to leave old mags with a note attached to see this site, WT research or whatever, maybe asking about the 607 issue, salvation through the WT, or the pedophile issue? Leaving them at gas station rest rooms or interstate rest areas? I used to leave the mags. Wish I'd kept the old ones now, I'd put them to good use!

Blondie, you make it sound so simple, but I must be dense! Lady Liberty, in your coment on my topic re: Heb 10:24,25, your post history says...Post 1088 of 1092. Why the difference? I'm still "clueless"!

Maybe someone can answer probably a stupid question. What does it mean when it says,
Post 222 of 555, or thereabouts? Why aren't the post numbers the same? What is the first number of posts and the second? I hope I've explained my question? Thanks for any help.

(the david bowie song in case you're wondering).
there seems to be a lot of talk and speculation about the changes that are coming at the next district conventions.
there have certainly been quite a few articles and talks (esp.
If and when these "changes" do happen, I think most of the r&f will do a "little side-step". They'll put the former beliefs to the side and move on with "new light". I think the term is "double-think". They will bury the old deep inside. Hopefully, someday, they will realize what is really going on and really ask for answers.

hello peoples ninja from glasgow in scotland here another person who just realised they were part of a brainwashed cult : ) after twenty odd years, but now has broken free....pity about those around me still in their trenches free at last....free at last he he hear from you all soon da ninja
Hello and welcome! Yes, I'm 59 and my husband 63 and we just came out nearly 5 years ago. Had haunting questions for years but figured Jehovah would straighten things out in the future. The freedom that true Christianity gives is awesome, using your God given brain for what it was made for. Read a saying the other day and it's most fitting, "extraordinary beliefs require extraordinary evidence". The beliefs of the WT are truly extraordinary and there isn't any extraordinary evidence to uphold and support them. Again, glad to have you here. Enjoy your stay!

if meeting together is to be taken to mean, five meetings a week that we must never miss, what about the command at rom 16:16, that says to greet one another with a kiss, or mt 6:9, you must pray this way???
jw's don't greet one another with a kiss, nor do they pray the lords prayer.. peep.

since the new tract tells us "the end of false religion is near!
", jehovah's witnesses maintain that they alone are the only true religion.
how would you dispute that??
Just read a post, referring to the Silent Lambs site, that as of today, a California court said JW's must reveal their list of pedophiles!!! Would the true religion have anything to hide like this???
Peep
california court tells watchtower society to make public the silentlambs files revealing who among jehovahs witness are pedophiles etc:.

there's been speculation about how the society could make wt cd's with "site monitoring" software on them, how about internet service provided by the society?
this way you'd feel like you have the freedom to surf the net but all the "bad" stuff would be blocked out.
they'd have total control over what the surfer sees.
I found a snippit about the internet in the June 15,2002 WT, page 15. In a box at the top of the page was this note, titled, "In Our Hands". "If we want...a concordance to the Bible, we can find no better medium than the Internet..." This was in an article of the value of study. So the internet can be good?
