i just endured the painful process of trudging through the 2012 examining the scriptures daily, looking for interesting quotes.
apart from being repetitively boring, it has managed to squeeze most of the watchtower's crazy concepts into a single book.
the comments concentrate on:.
What got my goat was the FOREWORD
Opening sentence "You have this publication in you hand because you appreciate God's Word"
What has that piece of junk got to do with God's Word.Also they write it in such a way that it appears
that their junk is coming from God.
they were strangers and temporary residents.
from the world, satans wicked system.
as temporary residents in this wicked.
Thanks,Blondie
They sure have the nerve to pubs such crap.Why do they always knock higher ED,then they say"we use modern tech to spread the word"Where do they get the the people with higher ED to use modern IT stuff and look after the old foggies doctors,nurses,lawyers etc..
Materialism, so why are they sell out in N.Y. and bldg new HQ when the end is sooo near.GREED MATERIALISM.
Now they are making reference to, remember when we were told the end was near 30,40 years ago,oh forget that.it is not delay, don't get an ED go selling mags and suck more people in(we can use the cash).
once again, this was a real " jewel " of a study article by the wt society full of contradictions , controlling expressions , and manipulative wording in order to take away jehovah's witnesses free will and freedom of mind .. initially the wt society makes it appear that they are " concerned " about witnesses actually keeping the " peace " between themselves.
notice this quote from pg.
20, paragraph 7, " true friends keep personal matters confidential.
Thanks, Flipper.
I don't know what to say.Total control like any dictator ruler.I hate it, hate it when they say"Jehovah's org,and make it like Jehovah is saying it right now." This worldly(wtbs) org is like a snare when you get caught,that is sucked into their system you can't get out.Just like the poor rabbit that gets caught no matter how hard he trys his struggle is very hard and death fallows.When you are in their snare you realize how hard it is to get out.
Also I would never say anything to the elders because I don't trust them.
Are you guys pulling my leg.Nobody can publish such stuff.That is not a shepherd,it's some cross-eyed banjo bump and the sheep is a reject.Jehovah does not approve of lame twisted leg sheep.He only wants the best.
You are making fun of the WT art right.
i cannot do that.for ex.jan 2012 awake about honesty.. for decades,the wbts has time and again protrayed the j.w.
as "the most honest people on earth".however if you were to check(research) state and federal employment related criminal and civil court cases.j.w.
are just as dishonest or honest as other members of the human population.. just a few ex.classic: ada township v cong of j.w.

US v dwight jenkins 2001 See Boston Herald they published a seies of articles. There are many many more.
Anyone know when and where D.C. are in Canada?
i gave in and went to the meeting tonight.
first thursday meeting in a couple of months ...
the whole congregation bible/book study was praise and worship of the governing body!.
It is so sad that the R&F cannot see that they are worshipping an IDOL(the gb).They missed the whole point by not reading the rest of Acts.
regarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.
but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.
that would clearly have been a mistake.
See "Blood on the alter" by D.A. REED. "Index of WT Errors" by D.A. Reed.See wt 1880,1888 and many more.
Like I said don't argue with a mind control cult.

You can't argue with this mind control cult person.If he has a black bible in his hand and the GB/FDS/WBTS says,that it is green.To this person the bible is green and he will argue with you until the cows come home and say the GB/FDS/WBTS is right.
