DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

by Simon in

yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

Really Smart or Idiots?

by metatron in

jw
friends

well, i was looking thru the study (i.e.

'kool-aid') watchtower for today and in the middle of the magazine i found an article about how you should go to your local bethel/branch office and be really impressed ( enough to join this sad, sick cult).. i initially thought, "wow, what idiots!

they encourage everyone to go to their local bethel at a time when they are closing branch offices all over the globe!

Years (oh my god) many years ago when at the Bethel in Toronto, we were being shown the Linotype machine in operation. Although most wouldn't be able to read the type on the lead slugs that the machine produced (you have to be able to read upside down) the sister operator covered and concealed them. More recently on a tour in New York I picked a sheet out of the garbage. Since I was a printer by trade I thought it would be cool to show friends how the sheet was printed with 8 pages which when folded in half and in half again produces what is called an 8 page signature. Well I was approached with disapproval and put it back in the garbage forthwith. They conduct much of the tours like that I believe. Even if it is not secret material you can't have someone seeing new light before all the others I guess.

Is field service a biblical requirement?

by Listener in

there are two classes of jws - the annointed/chosen ones/those with the heavenly hope and the great crowd/other sheep/those with earthly hope.

this makes it quite difficult to determine as to whether jesus was giving directions to either the annointed or both classes.

but the org does distinguish at times as to the authorities given to them (the annointed) and therefore the directions they may impose on the other sheep.. there is an interesting article about witnessing and who's responsibility it is.. from the watchtower 2004 3/1 para 20. the great crowd of other sheep have imitated their anointed brothers.

Is "Preaching" really definitely a Biblical requirement? and while there is probably nothing wrong with going house to house, it certainly is not the most practical or is it the best use of the time and money expended.

more news just in = inspite of the efforts to stop the embarrassing info against the us of a the us government has been left impotent in the face of wiki-leaks or some such upshot site. They were considering closing down the Internet completely but Al Gore said "Nooo you don't" and thus the closure was averted. But then there erupted a bruhaha involving Jehovah the creator of the universe in that some were linking to a book that he himself through holy spirit had directed his named people on earth to publish. As a result has instructed his governing body on earth to take steps to close down the internet by midnight tonight. Jehovah was actually not at al reluctant since the internet was already a thorn in the side of the gb because there followers were being plagued by porn pop-ups.

This just in = YouTube has just been closed down by the federal government. Apparently some person who cared not for the fact that many people enjoy the service and using it in a proper way posted copy-righted material. This left the government with no other resort than to close down the site.

Where to post the new Elder Manual

by Elsewhere in

i've noticed some here expressing difficulty finding a good place to host the new elder's manual.. the solution is simple: wikileaks.

wikileaks is a site that specializes in hosting controversial and secret content that needs to be made public.. http://wikileaks.org/.

http://wikileaks.org/media/submissions.html.

ok. I think it could be because of maintainance on the site.

Also Alltime, I was wondering do spirits emanate from glass bottles at the end of the course like when I went to Canadian bethel for the two week elder school.
