Good catch cappy,
This thing they put in their Sept magazine mirrors the oxymoron comment by Lett
"We never have and never will ask for money...
Please send money"

WT September 2015 (Public edition) - We never petition for Money
by Designer Stubble inpage 6 of the september 2015 public wt, under the heading "how is our ministry financed"our work is supported entirely by voluntary donations.
(2 corinthians 9:7) in 1879, the second issue of this magazine stated: zions watch tower [as this magazine was then called] has, we believe jehovah for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support.
we have not wavered from that policy.

Amateurs Built the Ark
by enigma1863 inare you familiar with the motto "professionals built the titanic amateurs built the ark?".
i find it somewhat annoying.
i've been looking for a good analogy like amelia earhart was a professional pilot dorothy was just a girl from kansas but she got back home..

Thats basically makes about as much sense as saying something about the Empire building the Deathstar, it's not a good analogy if its based on fiction

What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?
by Doltologist inin 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.
this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.
today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

I my mind the desert god has already been disproved. But those that believe will come up with any fantastic idea to preserve it. Ie 2+2=5. That will never end no matter how much proof sadly. "Satan put the undeniable proof that God doesn't exist there to test our faith!!!" -

Gods name
by Mr.logic inwhat is the correct spelling of gods proper name"yahweh or jehovah"?
if the jw's maintain that yahweh is more proper, why do they misspell it "jehovah"?
if the name of god is so important, then you should not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too.

June Broadcasting - the white elephant in the room
by iwasblind ini don't have a problem using jehovah but i find it funny that in the broadcasting for this month, they go to great lengths to discuss why we use jehovah's name but don't actually mention how they got to it with no vowels.
again they exclude information.. he mentions jesus name being yeshua or yehoshua, but we know how to say his name in hebrew there is no conjecture there.
one understanding is because the jews stopped using that name the old scribes would copy down the tetragrammaton but then put the vowel markings for adonai (which is the hebrew word for lord) above it to remind them to say adonai.

I think this madness is nearly proof positive that they are being affected by the amount of TRUE information out there about, YHWH, The Bible and the Org. Their focus seems to me to be trying to head these matters of readily available information off at the pass. -

Governing Body
by Daym123 inhello,.
i am currently in a discussion with a jw about the governing body.. i have read alot of articles regarding it, however whenever i bring up what i have read, i am refuted with scripture, such as acts 15, where they say there was a governing body, who sent out elders and men etc.. does anyone have a website that i may not know of, that has answers to what they refute with?
or any help here or good thought provoking questions to respond with would be much appreciated.. thank you kindly.

Mr Logic I am going to address the name Jehovah as simply as possible as there are already threads that break down the facts.
jehovah... is a german pronounciaton, of a word, yehovah, which was made up by a Dominican monk only about 500 years ago, by jumbing together adonai and yhwh... it is in fact not the name of the desert god.

JESUS COMING
by disillusioned 2 ini'm confused.
reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.
i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .
