This book completely passed me by - unless I just wasn't paying attention, which is more likely. Locally I'm aware of Dubs donating this book to (Worldly) school libraries...lol

"MARKED" as undesireable association because of college
by LexWatson in"i" who was marked as someone bad to associate with simply because i wanted to make enough to support my family and the approved professions (which our congregation was already saturated with) of window washers, carpet cleaners, janitorial services, and siding and window replacement workers did not appeal to me.

There's an increasing number of Dubs taking advantage of Professional services though - especially (I've noticed) Psychologists, lol.

"Must We Always Tell The Truth?" WT Feb.1
by Cellist inif this has been brought up already, i apologize.
but, we just received the latest magazine with the title, "must we always tell the truth?".
i was curious to see how they handled this topic, with their "theocratic warfare" (aka lying) in mind.

The Bible states that SATAN is the Father of the Lie - lol - they can't see the irony.

And yet the Org maintains that 1975 was never prophesied, blaming the R&F, lol. No wonder they're all confused.
And welcome Numinous - Good For You!

New Light at DC?
by zack inthe gb will announce in a series of talks in two symsposiums that:.
all anointed will die and depart the earthly scene before armageddon.. the resurrected anointed will aid christ in directing all his belongings from heaven.. christ said "i will be with you until the conclusion of the systems of things" and he has done so invisibly; and shortly.
shall come the time for his co-rulers to be gathered to him to rule (just as christ has) invisibly.

According to WT teachings, as I recall there should be Annointed on Earth at the time of the End.
And I know I've asked this before, but, where in the Bible are the Nethinim? And where does it say they're the 'Annointeds' Little Helpers'? I'd never heard of them in my Dub-Days.

Its snowing in BRITAIN..........disaster !!!!!!!!
by vitty inwell the uk got 3 inches of snow last night and the country came to a standstill.
schools all round birmingham closed, luton airport closed, people were advised not to take unnecessary journeys whew........................ive lived in a country where it snowed a foot in one night and then continued for days and days and then it stayed for 4 months.
the schools would never shut and the trains and buses (yep the same ones as the uk) kept running, oh and so do the airports !

Oh yes. Master Midwich brought a letter home from school yesterday stating that ALL schools in Borough would be closed today due to severe weather conditions. Well - I was expecting 6 inches - but that's another thread.........

I was just called 'Midwich Cuckoo' - but then I guess if one has yellow eyes it sort of takes priority over being a dub, lol.

How far would they go?
by barbar ina while ago my mother said that if the society asked the jws to do something that was wrong they wouldn't do it.
it is already easy for them to go against their own consciences, many don't feel it is right to shun others but they do it because they are told to.
most would feel dreadful with letting their children die but would do it if blood was needed because the society tells them to.

I somewhat agree with you abr. The 'Power of Reason' kicked in for quite a few Dubs over past issues, which has resulted in the WTBTS losing many of Its members. BUT there are always those who will stick to the Society, defending It's faults, believing Its lies and making excuses for It.

I don't think Dubs would commit mass suicide as it would be unBiblical. Having said that, I'm sure if the Society wanted a 'Branch-Davidian' situation, the WTBTS would manipulate Scriptures to fit their purpose, and declare it 'NEW LIGHT'.

I reckon if it's UNBIBLICAL, the average dub wouldn't do it (eg, steal if the Society told them too). But anything NOT directly mentioned in the Bible (eg covering up child molesters) they'd go for, because they can justify the WTBTS/FDS continuing from where the Bible left off.
You got snow there Barbar?
