  Your welcome. What would we do without Google?
  
  It's a common myth amongst Witnesses that people who leave, do so to start their own church groups. Ray Franz is not one of them.
  
  Please tell us more about the book, when it is published.

  Inspector Jesus reporting for duty..........

  by oompa in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  new thought for me.....i have a thread on jw teaching that go beyond the bible so have been meditating a bit (as i chant)........and had a new thought.

  poster often vent here about how crazy it is that jw's say they were chosen by jesus after inspection in 1919. where in the world did they get the idea that jesus was going to swoop down to earth someday and inspect all religions and choose one?......who could even dream up such an idea using the .

  bible?.......as i have posted before........the helper....holy spit was supposedly given these annointed ones in the apostles day......and the annointed always had it and they never were not on earth but just were in small numbers.........so they had already been picked by god/jesus.............so why would jesus have to become inspector and choose them again??

  Closet apostate on the writing committee?

  2. friends

  i haven't seen any comments on this yet.... in the december 15, 2008 "study" version of the watchtower, in the last study article (the one to be covered march 1), paragraph 14 reads thusly in part:.

  "...one january evening, the man asked his wife, jodi, what she knew of jehovah's witnesses.

  she was a catholic, and she said that the only thing she linked to the witnesses to was "door-to-door preaching".

  It would be sweet irony if the WT Corporation has website blocking software installed on the Scribbling Department's computers...
  
  So when they search, no ex-JW sites come up, and they have no idea what the damning results are out in Reality World.

  S, kittens are born with a natural hunting instinct, but eating prey is learned behavior.
  
  If a kitten is removed from its mother before she teaches it to eat prey (or the mother is a housebound pet who never picked up the habit from her mom), they will not learn to associate their prey with food.
  
  But as you've found, they can still make great mousers anyway.

  Octuplet Mom: Blame the Lawyers
  
  The story of Nadya Suleman, the woman who delivered octuplets in Los Angeles last week, is troubling to many medical ethicists and frankly, normal observers. Why did a woman who already had six children get so many embryos implanted during an in vitro fertilization procedure? Adding to the concern is that one of her other children might have special needs--and that she is a single mother whose own mother, with whom she lives, reportedly disapproved of her decision to ahead with so many births.
  
  Some of the blame has been directed at Suleman's fertility doctor. That doctor has not yet been identified in the press. But it seems like others in the field have a non-judgmental approach. In one dispatch, a fertility specialist says: "Who am I to say that six is the limit? There are people who like to have big families." Another says that he cannot be a "policeman for reproduction." In other words, doctors don't consider it their role to steer patients away from making bad decisions.
  
  But legally-speaking, can they refuse to aid and abet if they so desire? The answer is no, at least according to a recent high-profile court case in Suleman’s state of California. In that case a lesbian couple in San Diego went to a fertility specialist so that one of the women, Guadalupe Benitez, could get pregnant. The doctor, Christine Brody, refused to treat Benitez, explaining that she objected to unmarried women having children. Brody offered to refer the couple to another doctor. Benitez and her partner sued Brody and her medical practice, claiming civil rights violations.
  
  The case eventually made it to the California Supreme Court, where the judges unanimously agreed last year that anti-discrimination laws trumped the rights of doctors to use their own judgement to decide whom to treat.
  
  So in the case of Nadya Suleman--if there's anyone to blame besides the mother herself, it's not the doctors, but the lawyers.

  In Germany, the Watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls

  by processor in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to german april issue of our kingdom ministry, the watchtower logo must be removed from all kingdom halls:.

  it sais that the watchtower logo - a stylised watchtower or a watchtower with a bible - is used by the watchtower society.

  thus, it should not be used by congregations or private persons, neither on kingdom halls, stationary or anything else.

  it must be removed then the building is renovated next time.

  With the END SO NEAR, why does the Watchtower Society have such an active Kingdom Hall renovations program?
  
  Could it not be to squeeze more $$$ from the "friends"?
