  There has been 24,000 + downloads of "the book" from just one site,

  105,022 on another, my guess is there are more downloads than copies printed!

  Plenty of people know, but whether the r&f know is another matter!

  But this is the book that started off the whole 1975 thing.

  BluesBrother: Sorry I can't agree!

  This is the book that started it all:

  1963 "All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial" was the original mention of 1975,

  on pages 286-287, in the 1990 reprint a small note was added about the time of Eve's making.

  From this my wife and others in the cong during 1963-64 were sure 1975 was the time of Armageddon.

  Some good info here:

  jehovah witness business !

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  holy cow, i remember reading this catalog back in the early 80's, i never thought someone going out in service would need all this stuff !.

  i was amazed at page #3,,,,,, making a magazine presentation .

  "lay the magazine on top of the bible" (shows where the witness loyalty really is).. .

  What does the blurb at the bottom of the page mean? "this catalog should not be used at the kingdom hall."

  NO business can be conducted in the Kingdom Hall;

  only outside in the car park!

  ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs

  by yknot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).

  also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.

  so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

  That is the reason they had to publish a new edition,

  there was no more room in the old one to write any more notes in!

  Not only wide margins in the new one, there are a few blank pages!

  DMCA Complaint from The WatchTower for links to KS-10 'Shepherding' book

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  yes, that's right, they really do not like people being able to read that book so they wanted links to it removed (it appears they have also been going after the hosts of the content itself as well).. unfortunately, i had to removed the links (which were dead anyway when i checked) and i'd ask that people don't re-post them (sorry).

  i'm sure there are lots of alternative ways for those with the information to get it to those who need it.. here are the discussions on the book:.

  "Fault finding attitude"

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this term is always used in articles about apostasy.. it find it wholly ironic that the wt accuses anyone of having a fault finding attitude.. you ever have someone accuse you to your face of a trait that is blatantly their own?

  this would be a case of that.. the wt does almost nothing but bring up faults inside their organization and out.

  they never miss an opportunity to find fault in the witnesses daily lives as well as slander any outside organization they can even in menial ways.. -sab.

  In a letter from the cong elders to the branch:

  YES; back in the 50's and 60's it was very nice, I did everything I was expected to,

  I was going to have everlasting life in a beautiful new world, wasn't I?

  But after 1975 things and people changed and it's got worse since.
