i'm sure the legal, public relations and other depts.

are all asking the gb how to handle this situation.

and i'm convinced the gb is scratching it's head trying to decipher j's spirit direction in all of this.

instead of posting on the 1975 everlasting life thread

by booby in

*** jv chap.

8 p. 104 declaring the good news without letup (1942-1975) ***.

the witnesses had long shared the belief that the thousand year reign of christ would follow after 6,000 years of human history.

Certainly, this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end."

So they were agreeing with what actions Brothers asnd Sisters were taking!

They could have put a caution in here; BUT they didn't, they were sure of 1975!

I was in the Org. and have the KM,s with this in.

Many families gave up everything to pioneer etc. and they were encouraged to do so.

When Bread Becomes a Dollar a Loaf, It Will Be Too Expensive To Live!

by VM44 in

"when bread becomes a dollar a loaf, it will be too expensive to live!".

anyone remember that being said by the jws?.

i am wondering if was a quote from an article or book, or something the jws came up with on their own?.

fokyc

Interestingly it's in a 1975 magazine!

Watchtower 1975

January 1st p.3 Why Is It So Hard to Make a Living?

For others, though, the problem is much worse. The New York Times reported: "No matter how severe food price inflation has been in the United States, it has been mild by comparison with many other countries where prices have doubled and tripled in recent months. For many poor people the price of a single meal now exceeds aday’s income."—(Italics ours)

This condition is a striking fulfillment of Bible prophecies regarding our time, one of which foretold: "A whole day’s wage for a loaf of bread." (Rev. 6:6, Weymouth) High prices, food shortages, disease epidemics, world wars and other unprecedented troubles in our generation were prophesied to result from the ride of the ‘horsemen of the apocalypse,’ all identifying our time as the foretold "last days."—Rev. chap. 6; 2 Tim. 3:1-5.

Can someone link me to the BOE letter about old Elder book destruction proceedure?

by Witness My Fury in

i have the new manual and other two letters (intro and spiral binding) but would like the one about destroying the old book as well, ...mainly as it helps highlight the level of information control.

i've looked back several weeks of pages here and cant see it.. im going to be giving this little lot to my jw family members as and when the opportunity presents itself.. (which may well be today as some are coming over lol, but will choose my timing or not bother if it seems a likely fail.).

cheers.
