is this book scanned and online anywhere yet?
i had some family mention some things, and eager to review it.
supposedly some doctrine changes.
Thanks for the dnld.I read the 1st para.that was all I could handle,unbelievible.That para says to me they are God and to do what they/God says."You can trust what a real(wbts/gb) freind says. When he (wbts/gb) tells you something good or what he (wbts/gb) you believe it.If he(wbts/gb) points out something needing adjustment, even when offering you counsel."
Every time I hear words like adjusment,counsel etc.they say from God word which they equate to wbts/gb.

i don't start threads very often, but yesterday i had something of an epiphany as i was doing some work in the yard.
deep in thought, as i usually am when doing mundane tasks, it occurred to me that while jesus encouraged us to be "good samaritans", god himself is not a good samaritan.
in the parable by jesus, a traveler is left beaten and robbed on the side of the road.
That is a true statement.How many years does it take,if god cares about mankind to take action.If he did provide mankind a savoir J.C. than why do we not have 1900 year old people.Also when J.C. came on the scene 2000 yrs ago there were approx.100 million people give or take a few mil.If the road to salvation is narrow and few finding it, as time goes on the poor good for nothing samariton will have to kill many many billions of people.So IF he was the good samariton he would of taking action.
Also what is wrong with living a good life and we die that is the END.Why bring the dead back to life only to kill them a 1000 yrs later.

as ridiculous as it seems to me and most of you, the infamous 'generation' update has every jw that i know in a tizzy.
they're all worked up about how 'exciting' it all is.
i just received a letter from my mom (she only communicates through letters now), and she brought it up - how they carefully explained it at the convention, and how it shows that we are so close to the end.. unbelievable.
TD I think you are correct.Also the WBTS said this overlapping GEN would be a short period of time.Could they be looking att a 120 year GEN or the start of the GT 2034.

What about poor countries like Africa.People that don't have the NET not enough food,etc.I don't have pop-up(blocked).So what happened to ALL the righteous clean moral J.W. because this is a J.W. only WT.Must be a whole lot of trouble in J.W. land.

we begin with a familiar scripture:.
matthew 24:45-51 (new international version) .
45"who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?
i wanted to say hello.
i knew i was gay.
i wanted to study and learn about everything i could.
Not that long ago the WBTS had a story in the Awake about a person"from Professor to Pioneer" I suppose they will not publish your story,

a few months ago i began researching my doubts on the internet about the wtbts and i came across a bunch of crazy facts.
this helped me realize this isn't "the truth.".
when i was growing up, i believed the society was always right, and we needed to obey what was in the publications.
I never did.I felt the (j.w.) were to the GB,like the R.C. to Mary.Both worship a human being.Total nuts.

how did you pay your bills?
did you sit down at your desk and write out a check for each bill?
did you call the bill company and make a payment?.
So what do you do when power goes out or the net goes down and you have no cash.
