i think the loss of the book study will hit some like a death of a friend.
it will mark the end of an era.
it will forever change the religion of jehovah's witnesses and i believe the change is completely irreversible.. of course, most witnesses will be delighted by this.

i made a big effort to get to the watchtower study today.
i have not been to the meetings much for months, but i figured this was a pretty historic "study" and i wanted to see reactions and how it would go down locally.
well a few things struck me as a bit odd in the study itself, and in the audience response as well.
Slimboyfat,I enjoyed your comments.I felt the same.Extended period=short period of time.90 years=just around the corner=last hour.The kicker "the conclusion of the system of things and the end.Can be illustrated by a talk given at the Kingdom Hall.The talk is the last section which the speaker spends a little time.Q4 & 5 Talks about Jesus presence is an extended period of time.Just like their concluding prayers at the D.C. an extended period of time.
In our Hall,When they got to part "The Generation Seeing the Sign" it was covered very fast with few comments because they made sure all the time was gone by para 10.

"what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system things?"--matt.
q) 6 what does revelation chapter 12 help us to understand about christ's presence?
q) 8, 9. who would recognize the sign of christs presence and understand its meaning?.
Thanks for your WT review, Blondie.
Q10,11 Apostles,part of this gensration................ Apostles would no doubt have understood...........were to be part of 'GENERATION" that would not pass away.Then why did the Apostles ask Jesus all those questions if they understood?
Q15 Without spiritual understanding=GB of WT.Look at all their wishy washy understanding of the generation.In todays study of the WT they refer to the 1995 WT,why not to all the WT'S and publications that said "This generation that saw 1914 will NOT pass away before the end comes".

i want to put together a little video for youtube of all the big bethels/assembly halls from around the world.
could 1 person from each country post a googleearth shot of the bethel and assembly halls in their country ( three for the us, wallkill, ny, paterson) .
i think it would be interesting to put together a video album of all the real estate globally!
Sure is beautiful.Now show some mud huts with wooden benches if S.A. That is the Kingdom halls for the poor African brothers and sisters.Not their fancy bethel homes in S.A.
B
PS.Oh, all the fancy expensive bethel homes are a show for the public.There is a scripture about a showing off your loot.DO not give me that shit about this is pair a dice.Maybe it's true they gamble with peoples money(pair-a -dice)
our special assembly day at bristol assembly hall has just finished.
as i've said before in october 07 http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/144194/1.ashx regarding the last two day assembly weekend.
the numbers are still down.
Yeah give via credit cards.Hypocrates over 50% of their talks are about materilaism.Simpify,don't work overtime,get a part time job.Go preach,go and get more members we need some rich suckers who are educated,have well paying jobs so they can hand over their loot.We don't give a shit if the credit cards charge 25% interest,thats your problem not ours.Oh,by the way if you get in financial difficulty.WE DID NOT SAY YOU HAD TO USE YOUR CREDIT CARD TO MAKE VOLUNTARY DONATION.So don't blame us it was ALL up to you.
Look at all the financial trouble in the U.S.A.

hey yall i have a question that i'm quite curious of.
it says in the 2005 un accreditation form "in 2002 we instituted the review process for ngos associated with dpi".
now on the un website it says "resolution e/1996/31 adopted in july 1996 to replace resolution 1296 of may 1968 rules the current arrangements for consultation with non-governmental organizations.
or you can just look at it at the website without the page numbers i referenced.
i know this is very old hat for most folks here but new to me.
most of the information i got was from here and the un website.
Who is right the WBTS or the so called Apostates.The WBTS say they registered with UN-DPI as an NGO to use the library to support the UN about human rights,freedom of worship,etc.Than when the Guardian reported in 2001 (10 years after the WBTS joined the UN) the WBTS disassociated from the UN.WHY WHY after 10 years of support for humans rights and freedom of worship.Do not human rights, freedom of worship, etc matter anymore.Should not the WBTS be more concern about human rights and freedom of worship more so now that they say we are closer to the end of this system.
Bob
PS:There was a letter from a Jones to wbts and a reply from the wbts.They told Jones he was wrong in his assessment of the UN-DPI/NGO and the wbts.
the watchtower study of this week (15/2) is entitled 'jesus christ - the greatest missionary'.
compare the following phrases on the modern-day identity of jehovah and jesus:.
as one of jehovah's witnesses, however, you likely think of the missionaries sent out by the governing body to preach the food news in various lands around the earth.. concerning his heavenly father, though, jesus christ said: "i am a representative from him, and that one sent me forth.
GB arranges for them to be trained.Say what, Jesus not taught by humans.Whos' example are they following.Who preached the good news from Jesus time until 1914?

recently in the book study, we discussed revelation 17:8 which says, in part, "the wild beast that you saw was, but is not, and yet is about to ascend out of the abyss, and it is to go off into destruction.
" in chapter 34, paragraphs 4-5, the revelation climax book relates that in september 1942, knorr gave a talk called "peace--can it last?
" in that talk, knorr noted that the league was in the abyss at that time as a result of world war 2. he asked "will the league remain in the pit?
Oh,yeah they got a lot of things right like the END WOULD COME in 1975.Than deny they said it.
Why did they join satan Org the UN in 1991 if they knew it was his ORG in 1942?
Bob
hot off the presses - just some of the latest garbage coming out of brooklyn as found in the 1st study article - repudiate "valueless things" (4/15/08 koolaid edition wt): .
par 17: another example of valueless words is found among the religious leaders of christendom.
these claim to speak in god's name, but most of their utterances are not based on the scriptures, and what they have to say is basically worthless.
Repudiate "Valueless things" They sure got the nerve when they became members of the UNITED NATIONS.Just ask any head nodding slave today and they will say it's an apostate lie.Hyprocrates,that is something that I hate is lying.Wasn't Satan blamed for all the evil in the world because of a lie.
IF A=B and B=1 than A=1...............If WT=LIE and LIE=SATAN than WT=
