Visiting delegates, are another group that get looked upon as being in a higher class than the average JW. We had an international convention here last year and I was disgusted in the amount of attention that we were asked to show toward these people in the months leading up to the convention. I heard reports of JW's planning to go to the airport so they could be one of the first to meet these special people when they arrive, nothing wrong with that, but would they have done this if we didn't have months of announcements leading up to the event, telling us to make the delegates feel more than welcome.

22circuit overseer worship
by Magnum infor over thirty years i observed among jws the phenomenon of co worship/idolatry.
i, myself, was somewhat guilty of it even though i rather quickly caught on and detected something wrong.. think about the week of the co visit.
during that week most attention is given to and most thought is about the co. the supposed sovereign of the universe takes a backseat.

Ironic quote in the 5/14wt lesson "Are you moving ahead with Jehovahs Organization"
by BU2B inthe whole article makes me ill with its worse than average mind control.. i was going to only include one quote but there are so many doozies that i will post what i feel to be the worst.. from paragraph 6.
"gods organization survives and flourishes on earth because the people who are part of it have his approval.".
the great tribulation has been "so close" for over 120 years of wt history.

All new releases are to be kept hidden until they are released in your area. Can't have you learning about these new releases before others in your area get the offical release. This is what I seem to remember being told from the convention platform.

Sex offender John Olave Beaver in Auckland New Zealand. Anyone know him
by joe134cd inthere was a very high profile murder case in new zealand a few years back involving a guy by the name of antonie dixon.
i have noticed that there have been discussions on him in years past on jwn, and i'm sure a google search will bring news articles on him.
what i can't find on discussions in jwn (and the question i have) was he was sexually abused by a witness called john olave beaver.

Antonie Dixon was a well known name in the media here in NZ up until he took his own life. Even TV doco's were made about him.
I have not heard of that name John Beaver, maybe I'm in the wrong area of NZ to have known him.

WT Study, Sunday 6th July 2014.
by skin init might be the way i think and see, but the first time i looked at the image on pg 27 of the april 15th watchtower i was trying to figure out how it applied to this study.
this is a darkened black and white image that appears in my edition of this magazine, (its colour online).
anyway, para 9 talks about a brother that had an issue with looking at online porn.

The black and white version of this image looks more pornographic than the colour online one.

This is a darkened black and white image that appears in my edition of this magazine, (Its colour online). Anyway, para 9 talks about a brother that had an issue with looking at online porn. It says, “Before coming into the truth, one brother regularly viewed pornography, but he overcame the habit. Yet, his old inclination was still there, smoldering like the embers of a fire. When he obtained a new cell phone, his bad craving was reignited. (Jas. 1:14, 15) He used the phone to access pornographic Internet sites”.
Now looking back at the image on page 27, at the girl looking out the window (can someone scan this image from the black and white magazine?) all I could see is a girl wearing a tight dress, and the corner of that bowl positioned in such a way that it looks like that girl is nude, at least from the waist down.
And then just to make my shake my head again in wonderment, in para 11, why did they decide to use an example of a person that lived in an area called Masbate? Of all place names to choose, they choose Masbate?
