I wonder about the "millions now living will not die" to mean the same what Jesus said to the evil doer and paradise.

Career JW's and WTBTS Wellfare(sp)?
by oneairhead injust a thought.....what if a career jw were to do everything that the borg told him to the letter?
for example, pioneer then get a job as a janitor at night.
lets say that they do this until retirement with no retirement benefits because they didn't work full time .

I believe their latest wt/a has something about how jw are not like the world when it comes to money.They don't gamble,drink,waste money on immortal movies,drugs,parties,etc,etc.Oh,yeah the new system is just around the corner,oh,so close,soon ,any minute.Store up treasures in heaven where no one can steal your hard earn salvation. Work hard going from door to door.They don't waste money on fancy trips,sports,latest fads.

So what does the av jdub do with all the "old light" books?
by rose petal inhi, posting on another thread, i asked this question.
i would like to know - what do they do with the 'old light' books?
does it not occur to them that they have a pile of books that they are not allowed to read?

They use old books for study sessions to keep r&f busy.Ex.The old Revelation book 1988 edition with a new 2006 printing of the book with a whole slew of changes.p159 para.18 "The Finished Mystery book of 1917.In time,though,this book proved to be unsatisfactory as an explanation of Revelation."Than on p165 para.16 GET THIS...."In 1917 the Bible Students published The Finished Mystery, a powerful commentary on Revelation and Ezekiel."Unbelieveable.I don't know what happened the to light.Maybe a powerful unsatisfactory commentary on Revelation.

Total control and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ .Awake blessed by who?More rags printed.Can't they add at wbts.Take the total printed bi-monthly vs the once a month issue.If the fds/gb say 1+1=3,the r&f will say"boy aren't the fds/gb smart and giving us proper food at the proper time".We must be really close the to end.

The Silver is Mine, and the Gold is Mine; stocks bonds and live pigs ok too
by marmot innext week's service meeting is gonna be a doozy.
after the local announcements there is going to be a 15-minute talk by an elder based on the november 1, 2007, watchtower, pages 17-21. .
somebody with the resources to do it really ought to scan the article and post it as a pdf, it's hilarious, frightening and nauseating all at once.

What a BIG hypocrite.Why do they sent people to university to get a law degree.Oh,he wouldn't qualify to go to court and defend WBTS money.Look at past KM when they want and need qualified people to work at Bethel,ie Doctors.Lawyers,Engineers,Computer programmers,etc,etc.ALL HIGHLY EDUCATED.
The illustration about the OCD attempted suicide.That illustration was given at a CA and the sickos burst out in laughter.I said to myself, how sad you people to laugh at someones handicap.So sad,so sad.

Why do we have to talk about what happened to us?
by wanderlustguy ini just watched reign over me.
adam sandler has come a long way as an actor, and i thought he did very well portraying the feelings someone has who keeps the pain of emotional tragedy inside.
i'll never feel ok about all the damage caused by me when i was at my worst.. the movie also made me think about me and my relationships and us as a group of people affected by something so tragic in some cases.

Very good post wonderlustguy.Also everyone that replied.Being on this forum is like being in a big room everyone visiting and talking to one another.We all have the same thing in common.It's nice that we can vent our true feeling with each other and not get knocked down and kicked like a poor dog by a mad man(wbts).

I can trust the Bible,but NOT the NWT.Look at the WBTS "the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures" and the changes they made ie LORD/Jehovah in the NT.
In the Nov. 2007 Awake page 5 "It would be hard to trust a book that is found to contain inaccuracies.Image reading a modern history book that dated the second world war to the 1800's or that called the presidents of the United States a king. Would such inaccuracies not raise questions in your mind about the overall reliablity of the book?Try reading some past WBTS publications(books) and look at ALL the inaccuracies.For example the book "Revelation-Its Grand Climax At Hand" It was printed and copyright in 1988.They printed a 1988 copyright edition in 2006.However the do not, again they do not say anything about all the changes in the 2006 printing of the same copyright book of 1988.Now if I was to place this 2006 printing of this book with the public they would not see all the inaccuracies and changes from the 1988 original book.YOU CANNOT TRUST THE WBTS.Let alone their inaccurate translation of the Bible that they call NWT.
Why a news release,isn't the policy of the WBTS,to go from door to door the best way of informing the people,besides it's the most effective.Also it creates a lot of jobs for the Gas/tire/car mtce etc.You get 4 people to a car times 250,000 cars driving 50miles a day for 10 days in Nov=125,000,000 miles or 6,500,000 gals of gasx$3.00=19,500,000 dollars.Use that money and advertise on T.V./Oprah save the environment.This in just in the U.S.A.
OK enough bullshit bob
