Judicial Committee on tape ... one of my favorites
by ithinkisee in
1. jw
2. friends
this is a judicial meeting recording from the mid-80's, where rick and laverne townsend were brought up on charges of apostasy.

listen to the calm manner in which they refute the elders (especially 607 and 1914) and how the elders get evasive and dodge questions and pretty much bring up nothing biblical.

What comment will you make at the New Light Watchtower Study this weekend
by jwfacts in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
gbsjg just made a comment that the watchtower will feature the article on 'new light' this weekend.

what a perfect opportunity for a visiting brother to a congregation (or incognito apostate) to answer with some honest and thought provoking comments.

"i find it interesting that the watchtower criticises some religions for not changing their old doctrines and creeds, and other religions that do progressively change them for having had them wrong in the first place, and yet we seem to be doing the same ourselves.".

Biting my tongue at last nights bookstudy
by GBSJG in
1. watchtower
2. bible
so i went to last nights bookstudy which discusses 6 paragraphs of the daniel book so there was lots of room for comment.

the study itself already was pretty frustrating it was taken from chapter 17 paragraphs 24-29 and it goes on about how the fds has to be lead by jehovah because of all the prophecies of daniel that fits them (1335 days was this convention to that etc etc).

but the paragraphs also mention the failed prediction for 1925. here are some interresting quotes from the book: .

Floppy 2005 WT Bound Volume
by stillajwexelder in
1. watchtower
2. bible
well i have finally got my 2005 watchtower bound volume (not the awake just yet) and it is very thin flimsy plastic covered paper - really weird after about over 100 years of hardback bound volumes.

talk about saving money - for a reference book i would say this is a step too far -what next - the insight books in paperback?

i would like to ask for some help if that is ok, first ill exsplain my situation.
