with all the ridiculous hype amongst the dubs about how this new tract is going to help bring about "the end", i thought it would be beneficial to highlight how often they've been crying that the sky is falling in the last 1/2 century:.
***w50 2/15 p. 54" stick to your work"*** now is the time to live and work as christians, especially now, for the final end is near.
*** the time of the end is near!

yup.
jw's.
i told them to come over tomorrow.
Maybe ask where the BIBLE says a person need to be in association with the Watchtower to have salvation? Or how is it JW's say they don't take blood, they pour it out on the ground so to speak, yet can take fractions, that come from many litres of stored blood? Where does the BIBLE make the distinction?

my parents told me that the do has advised the cong that it's going to close due to there not being enough publishers in it (why didn't he just say people .
it is a very small cong with about 35 people in it but they have enough elders and everyone was happy being in it.
apart from being dubs they actually are a genuinely nice bunch of people and i feel a bit sorry for them having to get split up against their wishes.. the hall is split into two congs, with the other half having about 140 publishers, and i asked why they didn't just ask some from the other half to support theirs.
Could this information help in anyway with the ongoing lawsuits against the WT. They say they have no "interests" so to speak in other states, but this would show they in fact do?

i remember that someone (richie rich?
) scanned some pages of a used pay attention book that included manual notes about destroying all documents if a former molestor gets appointed as a servant.
is this only in my imagination or has somebody saved this to his/her local drive?
Tried these sites and only get "this page cannot be displayed". Could someone have messed with the links?

maybe someone can answer probably a stupid question.
post 222 of 555, or thereabouts?
why aren't the post numbers the same?
DING! DING! DING! Thank you all, and it makes sense now!

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!
