I'd like to encourage anyone who attends to record the convention - particularly any part that discusses matters of science, Armageddon, or disfellowshipping. I know some might be nervous to pull out a tripod and a video camera, but even if you can just get an audio recording (discreetly recording the audio while your camcorder is covertly hidden in your purse???), that would be great. If you lack the means/know-how to upload the talks onto the web, I can post the talks on my site (www.watchtowerletters.com) and/or create short videos of the "highlights" to put on YouTube.

who is going to the convention this year?
by drew sagan inthe recent threads by pistoff got me thinking that some youtube vids of the hard line positions being taught from the platform would be pretty cool.
if you're already going, why not get us some documentation .
of course it might already be up on http://www.jwproclaimers.org/ for all i know.. it's a shame you don't know what conventions the gb is going to show up at because it really would be good to get those guys on tape no matter what..

One of the most blatant cases of misquoting is in the July 1968 Watchtower. It discusses mammoths. I wrote about it here:

You have to scroll down to where it says "As another example..."

Thanks for verifying. Crazy stuff. Yeah, that's kind of their loop-hole: The only organization, but not necessarily the only people.

I was at the Circuit Assembly a few weeks ago and the speaker said Watchtower.org gets 3,000 hits a day, "and everyone who visits finds a wealth of encouragement". My wife and I laughed at that one.

Pro-JW letter to the editor in local paper
by Shepherd Book inthis letter to the editor appeared in today's paper: http://www.monticellotimes.com/articles/2009/04/16/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/851witness.txt.
this is basically a response to the article that was published about me and my family (which, frustratingly, has already been archived).
in it, i claimed to shunned by almost all friends and family and to have been neither df'd nor da'd (both of these claims are true, by the way).

Starting over:
Sorry, don't know Gary Kerr. And everytime I try to open a PM I get "Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request."
You (or anyone here) can email me by going to www.watchtowerletters.com and clicking "contact me". (Don't want to post my email address here in case of spam).

Nice job.
Drew- that's a very logical way of looking at it. Very insightful. I hadn't thought of it that way before, but once you break it down like that, you see how ridiculous the argument is.

Warlock-
He was a thinker (esp. relative to others in the congregation). He attended college, and was always reading. He was a refined speaker and was one of the few who could raise his hand and comment competantly on 'science' related study articles.

Pioneer School - Class Photo
by Mattieu inhi all, at the conclusion of my pioneer school we took a group photo with the instructors.
we had to chip in $$ to hire a professional photographer (who was a brother).
it is a custom with all pioneer schools in australia to take a class photo with the instructors (much like gilead photo).. do they do that in any other countries?

I'm from the US, and we took one at my pioneer school (in 1993) and at my wife's (in 1997). My mom nearly keeled over from shock when I told her I still had my photo.
