So let me get this straight, at the beginning of the 2300 days, a watchtower study article came out and then at the end of the 2300 days another watchtower study came out. Fullfillment of prophecy!

I think that only us apostates would realize that its Rutherford and the signifigance of the car. Frankly, witnesses know the least about their own religion.

Before the US takes out Saddam. . .
by drahcir yarrum inwe need to take into consideration that in the last election in iraq, he got 100% of the vote.
like many dictators throughout the world, he is immensly popular.
he probably is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction to keep them out of the hands of real bad guys.

drahcir,
You may want to clue us in once in awhile. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but there are wackos who would say that seriously with a straight face.

What you are not asking is if Saddam gives a shit about the children in Iraq . Everyone wants to blame the US, but never looks at the actual leader of the country and says, "there's your culprit, there's your problem". Saddam has led his people down the path of poverty and death. If they had a true, free democracy we wouldn't be having this conversation. But he has oppressed his own people, killed off or exiled the bright minds and ignored the international community. He allowes his people to be impoverished so as to garner international sympathy and to cover his ass.

And giving money or aid to Iraq to "help these people" would only empower Saddam and would not really go to feed starving children, but strengthen Saddam's power. What can we learn from history?
In the early 90's the Americans tried to appease North Korea who threatened to build nukes and "rain down fire" (sound familiar) on the U.S. and its allies unless they recieved aid. So the U.S. helped North Korea, supplied it with money and fuel, which went right into their military in exchange for them not developing nukes. Well here we are about 10 years later and they're doing the same thing again, trying to hold the world hostage so that they can "shakedown" some more money from our pockets. Of course they are going back on promises they made and documents they signed, but what do you expect from a terrorist nation? Promisies and honor and civility mean nothing to these governments and to expect them to deal that way is folly.
Saddam lets his people starve because it makes shortsighted people blame the U.S. How many palaces does Saddam live in? He has the ability to take care of the people of Iraq, but he uses them as pawns to gain sympathy. Is there any more clear definition of evil?
Saddam has signed agreements to disarm and allow inspectors into the country. He went back on those agreements. We see now that he still has the capability to launch chemical and biological WMD, even though he said he didn't. Saddam is the one who is playing games with the international community, Saddam is the one who wants to develop and launch WMD on his neighbors. Saddam is a threat to world security. Saddam is an evil dictator. We need to deal with him now, while he is still relatively weak and while the situation is still developing. We tried containment in 91 and it didn't work.

It is NOT The Watchtower Society anymore?!?
by email ini don't know if this has been posted recently but... .
i was just talking to a friend (a ms jw) that told me that he was told by the elders on a talk he was about to give that according to their last elders school there are instructions not to use the terms "the watchtower society" or "the society" or "the organization" anymore... but rather to now always use "the faithful and discreet slave" or "the slave"... .

I think they will be moving to apply the term "slave" to non-anointed ones in the future, therebygetting them out of the anoire dying binThis will have to be accompanied by a new "understanding" that the anointed will die off before armageddon.
Thier new light "dogma" has always been just a way for them do deal with reality when it hits them squarely in the face. It has nothing to do with "god's holy spirit" which should be obvious to any with an open mind. I think I realized this while I was still "in" and they made the generation change

Any theories why sudden growth in WTS?
by Mr Bean inlately is observed some small growth in wts troops.
any idea what is causing it?
i've heard that an age of baptized new members has dropped and 9/11 makes an impact.

Remember also that if an inactive one re-activates then that is counted as an increase because they werent being counted when they were inactive, then when they become active again, its like a whole new publisher even though they have been counted before. I think that 9/11 got some inactives feeling scared and they may have come back for awhile. I don't think it will last though.

I;m sorry, Aztec, I am just unable to reply at this time. I just can't get over the fact that you actually asked for a mullet when you were a kid. I'll get over this, just need some time.
No actually, I think martial arts are a good channel for kids to use up a lot of energy and also learn focus.
