This is a variation of a long running rumour that jws have circulated for a long time.
In the version I heard, some JWs on a cruise were eating dinner at a table with somebody who was a higher up at the U.N, but the JWs didn't know it. They began to 'witness' to the person, eventually telling them about what the U.N. would do to religion at the buildup to Armageddon. The U.N. official then replied, "I work for the U.N., how were you able to know everything we are going to do?".
The story breaches all levels of rationality. If you know anything about the U.N. you would know that it is a strongly bureaucratic organization with TONS of infighting. The idea that there could be some unified goal (hidden from the public) to destroy religion is absurd. If you are an uneducated, ignorant fool who wants to believe the story of the world as told by the Watchtower then stories like these go right up your alley.

Ray doesn't have to explain a darn thing, the record is there. Here are some things people have told me Ray Franz is (active witnesses):
- A Liar
- A Homosexual
- Arrogent
- deceitful
Mostly all said by people who have never met the man, or read his books. In order to prove such things, you better fork over an supposed inconsistency found between a published book and an internet page made by somebody who themselves says there is no inconsistency. -

Haven't checked JWD for a little while and happened to miss this.
IAN was a great man and I enjoyed the few exchanges we had. He was such a fighter.
I'm very sorry for your loss. -

They "Keep Following the Lamb" - February Study Article (Praise for the GB)
by Ultimate Reality inthe article is not yet in print, however on jw.org you will find the audio recording for the february 15, 2009 study edition.. this article sums up some of the talks given over the past year or so.
it makes clear that we should trust the faithful and discreet slave because jehovah and jesus trust the "slave".
the slave has been faithfully providing spiritual food for 130 years.

How do we know we can trust the 'slave'?
Because Jesus does.
How do we know what Jesus does?
The 'slave' tells us! -

that didn't really pan out as planned, but i still have the server space and decided to do something with it.
i've uploaded just about every single computer document i have that is related to the watchtower is some way, which comes at about just under 6 gigabytes.

Looks like we're having some pretty serious server issues. Will be working through the bugs. We'll get this running well in the coming days and weeks.

I just hope the Witchtower babble and Trash Society doesn't make threats and shut it down, like they did the Quotes Website.
I really believe that they were mainly after quotes because of the Watchtower.ca domain name and not necessarily the content. We'll see how things go.

Just so you all know, I only have about 10-15% of my documents up for download at this time. I'll be getting more and more up as I find time. Getting them cataloged in the system takes a while.
