Sloppy typo in the Watchtower.
by Nemesis ini was just wondering if this typo is in the us version also?
its in the 1 may 2002 watchtower p.31 on the far right block of text on the seventh line down:.
and members of the great crowd are not in the inner courtyard of jehovahs great spiritual temple, which courtyard represents the condition of prefect, righteous human sonship ot the members of jehovahs holy priesthood while they are on earth.. i know its just a small typo, but i have never seen a mistake like this before [to my memory] in the watch towers literaturehas anyone else?.

I noticed something VERY interesting about the article - at no time did the WTS say what to do. Everything was "Mary" thought this and "Mary" decided that...
It was all a narrative of what "Mary" did.
Is Mary part of the Faithful and Discreet Slave? Is Mary on the GB? Is Mary "God's Visible Organization on Earth?"
No.

Gift of the cow
by Elsewhere ini know this is off topic, but i couldn't help myself.... http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_389070.html.
cow urine pushed as health cure in india.
hindu nationalists in india have launched a marketing exercise to promote cow's urine as a health cure.. they say the urine, being sold for 30p a bottle, can be used for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer.. .... as i see this as an opportunity for shameless self promotion... i would like to point out the bumper sticker on my car: "religion stops a thinking mind" (a spoof on the abortion bumper sticker).

Me thinks not!(There I go again, writing the style of the WTS. A statement in the form of a question followed by an exclamation.)

Do you still believe the WTS doctrine’s?
No. At no time while in the bOrg did I ever for even a brief moment truly believe it. Granted, I could force myself to believe for short periods of time, but that was more of an Orwellian thought process.

Has the mnknds cndition gotten better since 1914?
by D wiltshire inhas mankind condition gotten worse or better since 1914?.
the wt concludes that more people are sufuring more since 1914 because that year would spell trouble that would increase.. a brother giving a public talk a couple of weeks ago said mans life span has not increase any noticible amount even with all the advancement we have made in medicine and so the thought trying to be conveyed was don't trust science.. i know many will eagerly point out the facts.. join the watchtower or you will die.. only jehovah's witnesses have the truth all other religions evil and from the devil.. you must beleive the watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really good news?.

One more thing... a simple "general" gauge of how humans are doing is to look at population growth. In the last 50 years, the population has exploded. It fact, humans are so prosperous right now that we are having to RESTRICT population growth... now that is impressive!
