this was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!
will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.
this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.
Finally, I was wondering when they would do this.
hey all - i wanted to make a post to consolidate all the great info, posts, links about why jws are a cult (the signs, symptoms, everything, etc).. would love to have the definitions and specific examples of how jws fit those definitions/descriptions.. thanks in advance!
love you guys!!.

The Information control, pressure to give all resources to them (some caveats do apply on that), incomplete dsclosure of entry requirements up front to name a few.
back in the old days i used to hear talk about these kings.
are they still teaching anything about these kings in daniel as it pertains to the " time of the end?".

Ha! Ocean1111, that's probably it. Of course traditional dub thinking might say either Islamist extremism as has been suggested here, or being that Putin is pushing his way intio Crimea and Ukraine Russia could be the replacement.
gods kingdom rules!
the convention book released yesterday....say hi to group 2 of the 1914 generation!!
a graph shows group 1 being fred franz john barr etc...with a group 2 consisting of the current young faithful slaves we "met" the "group ones.
So hypothetically then, some future dubbers could embrace the idea, when the end doesn't come, that there is simply another group of people that overlaps the previous group. As William Penwell said, the Overlapping Generations Doctrine could take this out into infinity and beyond!
next time you want to do an in depth search on anything pertaining to jehovah's witnesses try this.. instead of doing your research using google; instead go to scholar.google.com and your results will.
be amazing.. try these searches: blood transfusions.
child molestation.
Whoa! That is amazing!
Welcome back Grace!
http://tv.jw.org/ is up and running.. see bro lett stumble his way through the introduction.
he really does have a good face for radio.. http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodmonthlyprogramming/pub-jwb_e_201410_1_video.
nice sweaty top lip at 15 mins onwards - the pressure is showing!!.
He's GB all right, that's Steve Lett. As somebody mentioned earlier their bullying solution is way out of touch. Talking with a parent makes sense, but service? As someone mentioned earlier talking to someone responsible like a school official is an afterthought it seems.

Many said they'd try something big. Maybe this is part of it. Yet it won't matter to anyone but them. That being said the work is slick. Of course Video Services has been around for a while, this is not a new idea for WT.
I find it interesting that he works off a teleprompter but from the Bible when Scriptures come up. Mind you putting a studio or a show together doesn't indicate anyone's blessing. JWStruggle, Mike and Kim and many of us have been working on videos for some time now!
That being said a lot of good work has gone into this. It's slick. But like a friend of mine likes to say, putting lipstick on a pig changes nothing. It's still a pig!
on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.
tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?
still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.
OMG Oubliette, I nearly spurted my coffee all over my laptop I was laughing so hard!
