  I will mention this as well because it does show that there is some truth to what he says. When i was there we were changing over from the hardback books to the paperback. A hardback book took about 20 guys and week to make 100,000 books. The paper back, (perfect bound) took about 5 guys 4 hours to make 100,000 books. This is something we highlighted on the tour. ( as for our reason to switching to paperback. everyone complained in the first few runs how the books would fall apart. but they switched glue types and the took care of it)

  anyone ever notice how some kingdom melodies are just blatant rip offs of classical music and/or christmas carols?

  Mankind's sufferings who's to blame?

  by greendawn in

  2. friends

  there is and always was a lot of suffering in the world since the beginning of history, so who is to blame?

  is it a god that doesn't care or a mankind that refuses to be reconciled with god and through that find salvation?

  Reputations

  by Honesty in

  do the jw's in your community have an overall good reputation?.

  are they generally known for helping their neighbors in times of need?.

  are they known as people who contribute and give back to the local community?.

  I work with my local community groups. (we do clean-ups graffti abatement, greenspaces, etc.. ) I know that Dub's live in the same city i do but they are too busy pretending to knock on doors to actually make the world a better place.

  Are the demons harassing you?

  by Gill in

  i found this particular article in the 'questions from readers' section of the april 15th 2006, watchtower, incredibly shallow and non specific.

  it did not define what a jw was to consider a 'demon attack' and could well explain why the average jw considers their car breaking down, on their way to fs an out and out attack from satan and his deemunz!.

  the question was:.

  I have never experinced anything that would make me believe in spirit forces. I wish i had. It would clear up a lot. I even read "the lesser keys of solomon." hoping to invoke some kind of reply. But in answer there came none...

  A lot of that has died down since the FDS made so many statements about sending that stuff around. I haven't seen any "reports" or experinces in my e-mail in a while. They abound from the stage however.

  I always hated, "upbuilding activity.." You can't have a party you have a "get together." Ad it has to be "upbuilding."

  Anyone notice in this weeks watchtower the use of the word "steward" instead of slave. Maybe they are tired of being slaves.

  wife wants to go to the library and research 607 from other sources.

  i already have mountains of evidence on that.

  but i was wondering if anyone knew of some other little nuggets i could slip in while we are there.

  Project went well. It helped that i had printed the chart from that other thread and had plenty of places to look. I also showed her the intro to the old awakes that said that the generation of 1914 wouldn't pass away. I am going to show her tuesday at the KH lib the divine plan that shows where the dates originally came from. (the great triangle...)

  She wants to write to the society for clarification. I told her this would result in unpleasant consequences but i think i'll let it run it's course.
